another one of maddies favs! love sonic youth I don't listen super often but they've made some of my fav songs on earth including this one ! not much to say other than its epicccc #Listen
Time takes its crazy toll
And how does your mirror grow?
You better watch yourself when you jump into it
'Cause the mirror's gonna steal your soul
I wonder how it came to be, my friend
That someone just like you has come again
You'll never, never know how close you came
Until you fall in love with the diamond rain
Throw all his trash away
Look out, he's here to stay
Your mirror's gonna crack when he breaks into it
And you'll never, never be the same
Look into his eyes, and you can see
Why all the little kids are dressed in dreams
I wonder how he's gonna make it back
When he sees that you just know it's make-believe
Blood crystallized to sand
And now I hope you understand
You reflect into his looking-glass soul
And now the mirror is your only friend
Look into his eyes, and you will see
That men are not alone on the diamond sea
Sail into the heart of the lonely storm
And tell her that you'll love her eternally
Time takes its crazy toll
Mirror falling off the wall
You better look out for the looking-glass girl
'Cause she's gonna take you for a fall
Look into his eyes, and you shall see
Why everything is quiet and nothing's free
I wonder how he's gonna make her smile
When love is running wild on the diamond sea

On our picture shelves
(Get on, or get out)
Statues mocking me
How am I supposed to feel?
How am I not put at ease?
Talk yourself to sleep
Fall into it deep
I will wash off mine with rolling waves of worry
It doesn't have to feel so wrong
Bethany you're riding this one to its grave (the gates)
You never understood the difference between someone's beating and refusal to trade
Bless these tangled veins
(Get on, or get out)
None of which will grow the same
Now am I supposed to fake it?
Now are you so poised, at ease?
Think long, think, think long, think think
Can you feel it surround me?
I think it'll drown me
And I wonder how you could say that we (you) really owe you (us) anything
Think long, think, think long, think think

I finally figured out how to play this on guitar instead of piano as it's constructed here (it's in a different tuning -- drop C, CGCFAD which is also what Nirvana's "On a Plain" is in)
I think it's Faces' greatest song, from among many candidates -- Rod Stewart basically isn't on it, he's barely on this album TBH -- it was written and sung by Ronnie Lane.

“Can you show me a dream/Can you show me one that’s better than mine/Can you stand it in the cold light of day/Neither can I.”
This is the bit that really gets me, everytime. "Even when we try our best to share each other’s dreams, bare our souls, give up our inmost thoughts, even when we intend to stand shoulder to shoulder and face the world, building something new together—there’s always a point at which it falls apart, and despair creeps in, and it’s all gone past recovery... It’s that cold, hard recognition as the morning dawns and all my stupid fantasies of achievement, of desire, of love, scurry away into the shadows. Another one gone, how many more left to live?"
Songwriting is magical and this one has "it."

when I was 18 in 2014 I listened to this ep the first time I did acid while my situationship (this word didn’t exist then) was at work. He lived next to the Stockton tunnel in the city and I could sit on the fire escape of the tiny junior one bedroom. We’d smoke spliffs and create art because we were both art students. I’m reading the lyrics and realize they feel oddly poetic and representative of my life since then.
you left me and I woulda done the same
you’re all poised and I’m made of poison
Anyways kitty is the queen of hyper pop
