Geoff's Miscellany

There are some songs that stick in your head forever. This is one for me. I don’t even know how I came across this album in high school, but I did. Anyway, I think Reese Roper really got articulated something profound in this brief and fairly unpoetic song. Here’s my favorite bit (it starts at 00:59):

Limping through the world There's a knowing look or two Is it just the cripples here Who understand the truth? Why is love so painful Why do we always lose Paving pathways for the lost The bitter, and recluse? He said "Love endures all things" And it hurt to think it’s true did it nail Him on a cross did it crucify Him too?

Ultramindset hack: listen to this while you do anything to make that thing feel more significant.

The Hitter is a good song about adventure, loss, memory, and compromise. It’s hard to to listen to several times consecutively when I periodically remember it.

I hope you enjoy it.

This song will obviously improve your quality of life or I wouldn't have posted it.

I've never watched the video, this is best played in the background.

When I was in college, I went to a mewithoutYou concert and the band played this song for, if I remember what they said properly, the first time. That version used to be posted online. Seems to be gone. But it's a great song

If I had written it back in the days when I wrote a lot of poetry, I'd have probably included some lines about Amnon, Absalom, Joab, Jonathan, and Saul. But it's not my song. Nevertheless, it is a marvelous work of art. There's a weird thing with the timeline of David's life in the song, but that's okay. It's worth a listen and then ten more. I hope you enjoy it.

This is a great song.

Of the two, neither is good. But both are entertaining:

The first is somewhat controversial, but it's essentially a guy giving a ted-talk as a ridiculous caricature of certain segments of the college type. For instance, he voices his (not real) support of euthanasia with this line, "In 2070, there won't be any old or sick people, cause WE'RE JUST GONNA KILL 'EM." It's definitely worth a listen if you like wry humour.
