Your skin is black metallic...

i didn't do much today. i decided to call in sick and not go sub. i don't know why, but my body felt weird and out of place. i wasn't myself this morning. i think it was stress that did me in. i just couldn't go out there and work with children today. my nerves are shot. i feel pretty bad right now. ugh, i hate it when i get this way. (too often darnit!!!)

my music choices sometimes reflect my current mood. here is a shoegaze/dream pop band i like called Catherine Wheel.



this is more of the loud guitars and soft vocals that shoegaze has come to be known by. i love this stuff and usually when i listen to it i just lay back and space out. this band started back in 1990 in england and were part of the scene that is often regarded as "the scene that celebrates itself". that is whats mentioned when shoegaze is named dropped. so yeah, this band is no longer active, but lead songer rob dickinson is out there with his solo career, so the spirit lives on.

right here i have the debut lp by the band. it's called Ferment. listen to the song "black metallic" for one of the best shoegaze songs ever written.

I've never seen you when you're smiling
It really gets under my skin
You say it's easy when it's faster
I still can't guess what you're after

It's the colour of your skin
Your skin is black metallic
It's the colour of your skin
Your skin is black metallic
Your skin is black metallic
Your skin is black metallic

I think of you when you're sleeping
Of all the secrets that you're keeping
You can't stay all day under the covers
'Cause under there you'll discover

It's the colour of your skin
Your skin is black metallic
It's the colour of your skin
Your skin is black metallic
Your skin is black metallic
You're turning black metallic

It's the colour of your skin
It's the colour of your skin

Your skin is black metallic
Your skin is black metallic
Your skin is black metallic
You're turning black metallic

It's the colour of your skin
Your skin is black metallic
Your skin is black metallic
Your skin is black metallic
Your skin is black metallic
Your skin is black metallic
Your skin is black metallic
