As we fall back into the impossible dream

it's true. your old love never dies.

Is this forever, ever?


this album is like a definition of autumn.

lately i've been riding a bike, close to my home, but i have gone into different direction than usually. I have found a park, one that i have never seen before. i only knew it was there, but it never seemed to be any interesting for me. until then. i got there in the evening. the only colour that can describe the weather and time of day is grey. all around couples were sitting on benches, staring into each other eyes. it was like the best place for a date. first date. or one of the very first meetings. it was pure magic. nobody was checking on others.
i started thinking about 'the magic position'. and while i was looking on those couples music was playing in my head... now that the dreams are all coming true, who is the one that leads me on through..? IT'S YOU!



and isn't marianne a beautiful name?

love letters straight from your heart. Pt. I

two days ago i went to my first uni (i have mentioned it some time ago that i have not only studied cultural but albo animal sciences). I have not been there since 2006, the last day i remebmer was some exam i took in september. and right after it i started taking my driving lessons. two years later - in 2008 - i got a letter from the university saying that i have been removed from students lists. what a surprise! But my documents (A levels summary and high school diloma) have stayed there for all these years. I didn't need them (had copies), so why bother.. suddenly, on monday i thought that maybe i should go there and go on a little music journey to 2005/2006. i made an apoitment with dean's office fon wenesday.

what did i listen to in 2005? what was my biggest inspiration and love?
antony of course!
i have met someone who loved antony as much as me, and while we were seeing each other for few autumn months we have both been sinking into antony more. i remember lying under the tree close to the uni on saturday, and listening to ant. i remember recording some of his b-sides and sharing them. and i remember one particular album i made. it was called 'the origin of angry inch' (yep, hedwig). the song i have put there were:
1. perry como - catch a falling star
2. eM - to wigh impossible things (the cure cover) here
3. cabaret - electric chair song here
4. the black lips (antony's cabaret) - love letters
5. antony - virgin mary
6. royksopp - what else is there
7. INXS - by my side
8. army of lovers - obsession
9. rafal olbrychski - slodko gorzki here
10. hedwig ost - the origin of love
11. hedwig ost - angry inch
12. hedwig ost - wig in a box
13. hedwig ost - midnight radio
14. coldplay - fix you

soooooo, on wenesday, when i went to the far far far university i was listening to it, but somehow i forgot to put antony's songs onto the playlist. i was riding round the city for good few hours, because i needed to collect some stupid stamps from few libraries, and the whole time i was missing something. i felt absolutley nothing when i saw the campus and the ugly blue, green and red buildings. when i finally finished my adventure with the worst university i have ever heard of, when i finnaly grabbed my docs and left building number 23 'animal sciences building', when i got on the underground and changed the playlist, i randomly put ant on. and then i felt it. a big big kick of memories. i was tranfered to september 2005, i was meeting my ex gf and listen to antony, i was writing what he wrote on his cheek and taking pics, i was thinking that his name would be the one i could tattoo on my body (what i did last year finally), i was thinking that it's so amazing that ant sings my heart out. i kinda fell in love with him. i had dreams with him and about him. he was singin just for me. i went to mazuria and lied on the hammock in the woods and was listening to 'frankenstein', to 'just one star', 'a man needs a maid' and to other rare songs.
and for years frankenstein has become the greatest love song i have ever heard:



just to mention, i was coming home yesterday, after a very good day at the production and of course i listened to antony on the underground. i fucking started to cry. i know, i'm too old for that kind of shit, but he really melts me, he breaks me into thousands little pieces.

you can check the greatest version of fistfull of love and where is my power here, on hennwill's bootleg from warsaw 2009: a kind of stream...

DIVINE!

You’ll be filled, filled with the good things again
You’ll be fulfilled, you’ll be filled full
You’ll be filled, filled with the good things again
You’ll be fulfilled, you’ll be filled full

When I lived in Olympia
I would drink myself to sleep
Sleepwalk in coma deep

When I lived in Olypmia
I closed my heart and prayed for scythe
To come deliver before first light
(my wrong was right??)

When my father called, wouldn’t let him in
My sister rang to no answering
Thinking of sin, this love in me
Lost to a shame that had hollowed me.
I let no one in.
I was thinking of sin, thinking of sin, thinking of sin,
of this love in me.

I travelled north by north-west
And found no love, found no love
South by south-west
Found no love, found no love
South, back to north
And still no love, so back to source
Where you came to me said “you are my love, welcome back to love”


And you threw me down on my filthy bed
Good stock you are, you said
Loved me deeper than anyone has ever been
You saw in me, i’ve been unseen

My darling, my conqueror, the conqueror, the conqueror
You said “we’ll find feet for you, boy, on the good earth, the good earth”

You’ll find feet on the good earth again
You’ll be fulfilled, you’ll be filled full.

My darling, my conqueror

You’ll find feet on the good earth again
You’ll be fulfilled, you’ll be filled full.

Kiss you goodnight.

our hopes and expectations

Time - He's waiting in the wings
He speaks of senseless things
His script is you and me, boy

Time - He flexes like a whore
Falls wanking to the floor
His trick is you and me, boy

Time - In Quaaludes and red wine
Demanding Billy Dolls
And other friends of mine
Take your time

The sniper in the brain, regurgitating drain
Incestuous and vain, and many other last names
I look at my watch it says 9:25 and I think "Oh God I'm still alive"

We should be on by now

You - are not a victim
You - just scream with boredom
You - are not evicting time

Chimes - Goddamn, you're looking old
You'll freeze and catch a cold
'Cause you've left your coat behind
Take your time

Breaking up is hard, but keeping dark is hateful
I had so many dreams, I made so many breakthroughs
But you, my love, were kind, but love has left you dreamless
The door to dreams was closed, your park was real and greenless
Perhaps you're smiling now, smiling through this darkness
But all I have to give is guilt for dreaming


We should be on by now
