Liz Phair - Shatter | O My Soul

LIZ PHAIR

O My Soul

I know that I don’t always realize
how sleazy it is messing with these guys
but something about just being with you
slapped me right in the face, nearly broke me in two
it’s a mark I’ve taken heart
and I know I will carry it with me for a long, long time

I don’t know if I could drive a car
fast enough to get to where you are
or wild enough not to miss the boat completely
honey, I’m thinking maybe
you know, just maybe

I don’t know if I could fly a plane
well enough to tail spin out your name
or high enough to lose control completely
honey, I’m thinking maybe
you know, just maybe

Alice does it again and posts a song by someone I like but hadn’t heard . . . this is the great Liz Phair

Art reference of the week : ROBERT RAUSCHENBERG

Rauschenberg was partner and love of Jasper Johns both seminal figures in Pop Art but here Robert’s roots in his studies at the Black Mountain College reveal his experimental work with abstract materials not only that but his humanity and care for his family (sister Janet) and here fellow student Inga Lauterstein models his costume for her. A Unicorn perhaps?
