Sunshine in Chicago makes me feel pretty sad My band played here a lot in the ’90s when we had lots of female fans, and fuck, they all were cute Now I just sign posters for guys in tiny tennis shoes

Then she opened up a book of poems And handed it to me Written by an Italian poet From the fifteenth century And every one of them words rang true And glowed like burning coal Pouring off of every page Like it was written in my soul from me to you Tangled up in blue
For a guy with so many brilliant lyrics I must at that I do very much love that little verse. A genius I say.
I leave you with photographs, pictures of trickery Stains on the carpet and stains on the memory Songs about happiness murmured in dreams When we both of us knew how the end always is How the end always is

"How to fight loneliness Smile all the time Shine you teeth til meaningless Sharpen them with lies."
"I wake up without warning And go flying around the house In my savignon fierce, freaking out Take a forty-five minute shower and kiss the mirror
Say 'Look at me Baby, we'll be fine All we gotta do is be brave and be kind'
I put on an argyle sweater and put on a smile I don't know how to do this."
So here we go. I posted these two because they share a theme. The first, in case you couldn't tell, is How to Fight Loneliness by Wilco. I like the wording in the first verse but I really like the last repeated line: Just smile all the time. His best advice is faking it, admitting defeat, that it's a fight you cannot win so do you best you can to grit your teeth and power through it.
The other quote is Baby We'll be Fine by The National, possibly my favorite song of theirs. One of the best pieces of advice on writing I read was: don't write past the point that all the mystery is gone from your characters. That's what I love about this song, the mystery.
Similar to the Wilco song, the character is dealing with something (loneliness, depression, identity crisis) and his only response is to fake it. That's what I love about the "put on an argyle sweater and put on a smile/I don't know how to do this" line.
And the writing. He could've said "drunken stupor" but he said "savignon fierce." Beautiful.

This song knocks the wind out of me.
Well, you never flew the colors and I never saw you bend a knee to any man. But you were never short of brothers; there was always someone holding out a helping hand. Well, I remember the summer we were ridin' to a show and our road went on forever so we were ridin' nice and slow. And then I heard the band play.
And the sun burned through the sky. It was a fine day for a funeral, yeah. But I never wanted you to die. No, I never wanted you to die.
We were waiting at the crossroads when I saw you wipin' out. Some metal box just slid down right into the sun, I was screamin', I was screamin', I was screamin' but nothing was coming out. They always said you were a dark horse because you rode the land alone. But, you know, I think the real reason was that you were always ridin' home. And now your road goes on forever.
The sun will always shine. One day we'll be together, yeah, when we cross the final line. When we cross, when we cross the line.
If I turn to you and call you "friend" when all is said and all is done, will you meet me on the other side, seven million miles beyond the sun?
