Today 5 days ago

The best thing about today is that it is TODAY.
The best thing about going to bed tonight is that when I wake in the morning, it is a whole new day, a fresh start , a clean slate. What’s done today, stays here today. Tomorrow, is a time for building on what we already have in front of us. I’m feeling alot more optimistic these days and am beginning to appriciate more the things I already have rather than the things that are missing in my life.

9. 'PITSELEH' By Elliott Smith 6 days ago

I’ll tell you why I don’t
Want to know where you are
I got a joke I been dying to tell you
A silent kid is looking down the barrel
To make the noise that I kept so quiet
I kept it from you, Pitseleh

I’m not what’s missing from your life now
I could never be the puzzle pieces
They say that God makes problems
Just to see what you can stand
Before you do as the devil pleases
And give up the thing you love

But no one deserves it

The first time I saw you
I knew it would never last
I’m not half what I wish I was
I’m so angry, I don’t think it’ll ever pass

And I was bad news for you, just because
I never meant to hurt you.

I think Elliott Smith is probably my favourite singer/songwriter of all time. I can’t for the life of me understand why the whole world isn’t in love with his songs. His death makes all his songs that little bit more tragic, but I think this is one of his finest. It’s a song about love and loss, and you can feel the despair. About loving a girl and losing her, only to feel lost and angry, but also it seems that he never really felt worthy to be with her and always down on himself. It so sad that he can’t stay friends with his lost love because the pain would be too great. It shreads and mends at the same time, it’s truely a heartbreaking piece of work.
’’They say that God makes problems, just to see what we can stand.’‘
I think Pitseleh means ‘little flower’, I’m not sure though.
R.I.P Elliott, thanks for this remarkable song.
