New beginnings

Yo-yo

So, my office is located at that midget-sized building, nearly entirely hidden behind all those trees, next to (in front of) the arrogantly tall one.

Right. Now you know. And yes, I will permit you to lend voice to your undying gratitude for that piece of information, which I'm acutely aware has enriched your life in ways you're only beginning to comprehend.

*pause*

Hmm.

Three posts in one day. This can only mean one thing.

incomprehensible, inescapable, bone-crushing, gut-wrenching depression

Don't Let It Bring You Down
by Annie Lennox

Old man lyin' by the side of the road
Where the lorries rollin' by
Blue moon sinkin' from the weight of the load
And the buildings scrape the sky
Cold wind rippin' on the valley at dawn
And the morning paper flies
Dead man lyin' by the side of the road
With the daylight in his eyes

Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning
Find someone who's turning
And you will come around

Ohh ohh!

I just had the most astonishingly fabulous idea! A game! Wheeee, etc! I'm VERY excited. Don't even care the slightest bit if you're not, *that* excited!

*bounce*

*bounce bounce*

Right then, this fabulously astonishing game is this -- I give you a bit of information about a song, and you have to figure out which one I'm talking about. There are no prizes, but oh, you'll feel so special if you win! Because! There's all that honour and stuff! And smugness! Wonderful smugness! And... and... if you get it right, I'd promise I'll get terribly fond of you. Absolutely promise! And, um, if I'm already terribly fond of you, then, well, it would vindicate my precious fondness and stuff, no? Hey, that's a good enough cause!

Right then, here goes: The info --

Released: June 1997

This track was recorded in the ballroom of actress Jane Seymour's mansion at 3 A.M. It closes with computerized sounds created by ZX Spectrum computers, which all the members of (Band name) owned in the 1970s. (Band member 1) explains what it's all about: "It's like when Andy Warhol said he enjoyed being bored. It's about that feeling that you get when you're not in control of it - you just go past thousands of places and thousands of people and you're completely removed from it."

(Band member 2): "I was pissed in a club, and I suddenly had the funniest thought I'd had for ages - what if all the people who were drinking were hanging from the bottles... if the bottles were hung from the ceiling with string, and the floor caved in, and the only thing that kept everyone up was the bottles? It's also about an enormous fear of being trapped."

I'm so bored. I'm also at work. Go figure.
