I know a girl who cries when she practices violin because each note sounds so pure it just cuts into her, and then the melody comes pouring out her eyes. now, to me, everything else just sounds like a lie.

More From Conor Oberst

All that syrio forel had taught her went racing through her head. swift as a deer. quiet as shadow. fear cuts deeper than swords. quick as a snake. calm as still water. fear cuts deeper than swords. strong as a bear. fierce as a wolverine. fear cuts deeper than swords. then man who fears losing has already lost. fear cuts deeper than swords. fear cuts deeper than swords. fear cuts deeper than swords.

Eventually she came. she appeared suddenly, exactly like she'd done that day- she stepped into the sunshine, she jumped, she laughed and threw her head back, so her long ponytail nearly grazed the waistband of her jeans. after that, i couldn't think about anything else. the mole on the inside of her right elbow, like a dark blot of ink. the way she ripped her nails to shreds when she was nervous. her eyes, deep as a promise. her stomach, pale and soft and gorgeous, and the tiny dark cavity of her belly button. i nearly went crazy.

A computer is like a violin. you can imagine a novice trying first a phonograph and then a violin. the latter, he says, sounds terrible. that is the argument we have heard from our humanists and most of our computer scientists. computer programs are good, they say, for particular purposes, but they aren’t flexible. neither is a violin, or a typewriter, until you learn how to use it.
Typewriters Trying Sound
Didn't you tie the mittens on her feet (wednesday evening's) extra special nice? yes--she is an extra special nice pigeon. she cries for pity when she wants pity. and she shuts her eyes when she doesn't want to look at you. and if you look deep in her eyes when her eyes are open you will see lights there exactly like the lights on the pastures and the meadows when the mist is drifting on a wednesday evening just between the twilight and gloaming.
Nice Twilight Eye
Melodies can be good depending on the context. you can have a simple melody, and if the harmony behind it is interesting, it can make a very simple melody really different. you can also have a complex melody. the more complex it is, the harder it is to sing, and then sometimes it can sound contrived. you could write a melody that would be fine on a saxophone but if you give it to a singer, it can sound raunchy.
Writing Simple Giving
When someone kisses someone or flushes the toilet it is my other who sits in a ball and cries. my other beats a tin drum in my heart. my other hangs up laundry as i try to sleep. my other cries and cries and cries when i put on a cocktail dress.

Women opened the windows of my eyes and the doors of my spirit. had it not been for the woman-mother, the woman-sister, and the woman-friend, i would have been sleeping among those who seek the tranquility of the world with their snoring.

I'm a grinder. i'll beat you because i will not sleep.

The wrath of god lies sleeping. it was hid a million years before men were and only men have the power to wake it.
Lying Sleep Men
O winter! frozen pulse and heart of fire, what loss is theirs who from thy kingdom turn dismayed, and think thy snow a sculptured urn of death! far sooner in midsummer tire the streams than under ice. june could not hire her roses to forego the strength they learn in sleeping on thy breast.
