Koios’ Neighborhood

hoarse grin

I greet you from the other side
Of sorrow and despair
With a love so vast and shattered
It will reach you everywhere
And I sing this for the captain
Whose ship has not been built
For the mother in confusion
Her cradle still unfilled

For the heart with no companion
For the soul without a king
For the prima ballerina
Who cannot dance to anything

Through the days of shame that are coming
Through the nights of wild distress
Tho' your promise count for nothing
You must keep it nonetheless

You must keep it for the captain
Whose ship has not been built
For the mother in confusion
Her cradle still unfilled

For the heart with no companion
For the soul without a king
For the prima ballerina
Who cannot dance to anything

Leonard Cohen - Heart with no companion

~~~ 

sometimes, I only need to hear a line of a song to love it. this most frequently happens with leonard Cohen songs.

Some day I'll add something of substance to the presentation of these links... maybe.

In no particular order.

1. Juno's I love you scene

2. Patch Adam's graduation

3. Little Miss Sunshine's "Fuck beauty pagents" bit

4. Pirates of the Caribbean's rum burning

5. Vera Drake in the dock

6. Man on the Moon's Carnegie Hall

7. Lost in Translation's big bum opening

8. Clerks II's rooftop dance lesson

9. Elizabethtown's mix tape and map

10. Hook's imaginary food-fight.

To the list of comedians that I like, I'd like to add Eddie Izzard - he's very funny and he's just run over 40 marathons in almost as many days.

I realize that most of my recent posts to this blog have just been links. Perhaps there are better media for this type of post, but I quite like having somewhere to file and share them. My latest discovery has been Josie Long's stand up shows. The clips available on youtube aren't really any more than tantalising glimpses of her stand-up, but I'm pretty much hooked already. Her first show was titled 'Kindness and Exuberance' - the choice of which is explained in the clip below - and i can't think of any better way of summing up her conduct on stage.

I enjoyed this film so much that i've added it to the 'favourite films' section on my facebook profile. insanely beautiful.

gah!

nothing else really, just listening to Everclear and liked that line.
