now playing: Elliott Smith - Figure 8 era unreleased - Stained Glass Eyes [180kbps|3:03]
a pastoral scene is framed by an unpainted sky. tumultuous and unrepentant, the thunder threatens to scar the tranquility of the rolling solace below, but the verdant blanket of life holds its own. fresh, tilled earth uncovers the rich loam of rebirth hidden just beneath the surface, waiting almost eternally to be rediscovered and utilized. nature is the only soundscape present. i wish i could stand at the focus of this event always, where creation meets destruction and neither yields, nor needs to do so... but i'm always snapped awake, and the balance sways.
