the moon song (karen o)

Soundcloud: the moon song


Intro Dm - G - C


  Dm      G       C
I'm lying on the moon
   Dm          G    C
My dear, I'll be there soon
       Dm     G      C
It's a quiet and starry place
             Dm        G
Time's we're swallowed up
    F                   Fm            C
In space we're here a million miles away


There's things I wish I knew
There's no thing I keep from you
It's a dark and shiny place
But with you my dear
I'm safe and we're a million miles away


We're lying on the moon
It's a perfect afternoon
Your shadow follows me all day
Making sure that I'm okay and
We're a million miles away

gunther

6 foot something.
35 this year.
Prof. Dr. ir.
over 300 international publications! (Both authored and co-authored)
8 patents.
piano guy.
blue-eyed.
golden-haired.
soft spoken but confident. but, then again, who wouldn't be confident after hundreds of publications? :P

well, 300 or more is a fine goal but it might not be for me. if i do decide to proceed with a ph.d. then 3 international publications would be a good goal to start with (because it's required, haha). they say in order to be happy you should be honest with yourself. so, ishchan, do you honestly want a doctorate degree? do you, do you? if mom or gunther or dries or wendy or jurgen or kristiaan or oliver or even cute little prof. vounckx is not around to meddle in your decisions or if you didn't have to run away from nor prove yourself to anyone..what would you do?

the red sun sets


i walked the long way past madou towards mont des arts yesterday in an attempt to clear my head before cutting short towards the congres column and took a right towards parc royale. from this street you can see all the way from saint marie's church to the edge of the royal palace where the road turns sharply to the right. i realized i could now name all the tram stops all the way from louise to schaerbeek gare. i also remembered my first day in brussels when i went out to look where to buy a bike. without noticing it i had already purchased one and it was quite a dilemma how to get it home because i took the tram to an unfamiliar part of town and quite far away from where i live. fortunately, the tram lines do not go underground in this part of the city so i was able to follow the tracks home. the francois englert exhibit on the 2013 nobel prize is still on display at the park. when i reached mont des arts, the sun was only starting to set and the golden lining on the clouds are slowly turning red. the skyline here is pretty good because you're in direct view of the grote markt but the view is very limited because of the huge art museum on the left and the theatre on the right. so i decided to head a little further and took the tram to poelaert and was greeted with this stunning view of the big, red setting sun. the street performer, my fiddler on the balcony, was playing such a slow, melancholic tune i'm not familiar with but complimented the atmosphere well.
