You know, a while back I did an interview which was one of my very favourites with Rob Jones from the Delete Bin (who is fantastic.) He asked really thoughtful questions about Morning Glow, and my experience scoring a video game. I actually can’t remember if I ever linked this interview on my blog, so here it is now! 🙂 Enjoy!

Lyrics: Who Are the People in my Life?
There are tenants moving by my nest
I can hear them shouting from my desk
There are parties raging ‘bove my deck
Faceless noises living in my head
Who are the people in my life?
Who are the strangers I deny?
Wouldn’t it be nice if they could meet my eye?
Wouldn’t it be nice?
Wouldn’t it be nice?
How they start each morning I don’t know
What they may be feeling doesn’t show
Wonder what they’re dealing with at home?
Why they could be drinking all alone
Who are the people in my life?
Who are the strangers I deny?
Wouldn’t it be nice if they could meet my eye?
Wouldn’t it be nice?
Wouldn’t it be nice?
Wouldn’t they be mothers and fathers?
Sons and daughters?
Everybody loves someone
Everybody needs fun
Everybody has a failing
Working worrying buying lying
Meddling peddling winning sinning
Bleeding breeding coddling dawdling
Snuggling humping kissing living people
Can’t believe that lonely neighbour died
Really sad because we never cried
These are humans loving out their lives
How they do resemble you and I
We are the people in my life
We are the strangers I deny
Wouldn’t it be nice if they could meet my eye?
Wouldn’t it be nice?
Wouldn’t it be nice?
Lyrics: Seven Again
When I was seven
A caterpillar made a fine friend
Its stoic fur thrilled my fingers
Thunderous fairies
That hid in trees
Placed dewdrops on leaves
And planted clover
Oh to be seven
Again and again
Oh to be seven again
Oh to be seven
Again and again
That would be heaven
Now that I’m older
My worries seem to weigh the world
Reality has such a cruel sting
Ravaging armies
Bleed on TV
I weep at their grief
And I just think
Oh to be seven
Again and again
Oh to be seven again
Oh to be seven
Again and again
That would be heaven
Though I may wish for
The snap of youth to come once more
I couldn’t wait to spark a juicy flame
Falling in love
Is proof enough
It’s worth growing up
Though parts remain
Seven
This is heaven
I am seven
This is heaven
Oh to be seven
Again and again
Oh to be seven again
Oh to be seven
Again and again
That would be heaven
Lyrics: Cadillac Cat
My name is Keiko and I like to play with socks
I like the way they smell like very dirty toys
I like to poke around and try to hunt for moths
I like to get up early just to make some noise
I don’t want no one to tell me what to do
I don’t want no one to tell me what to do
I don’t want no one to tell me what to do
Cause I’m a cadillac cat
Privileged at that
A kitty cutie kooky cat
To be exact
A cadillac cat
Where it’s at
A kitty cutie kooky cat
Livin’ the good life
When I grow up I wanna be a great big lion
I’d prance around the jungle cause I’d play it tough
I’d rule the biggest mountain zebras with my kind
I’d start a giant family and protect my cubs
I don’t want no one to tell me what to do
I don’t want no one to tell me what to do
I don’t want no one to tell me what to do
Cause I’m a cadillac cat
Privileged at that
A kitty cutie kooky cat
To be exact
A cadillac cat
Where it’s at
A kitty cutie kooky cat
Livin’ the good life
Because I know I’ll never be a great big lion
I’ll chase the meanest hairy spiders in the tub
I’ll scratch the biggest baddest post that I can find
I’ll be so cute for you and you can give me love
I don’t want no one to tell me what to do
I don’t want no one to tell me what to do
I don’t want no one to tell me what to do
Cause I’m a cadillac cat
Privileged at that
A kitty cutie kooky cat
To be exact
A cadillac cat
Where it’s at
A kitty cutie kooky cat
Livin’ the good life
Lyrics: Only a Fantasy
I walked in the door and it smelled of old clothes
The laundry’s asleep in a pile on the floor
There’s crumbs on the table and bread going old
The bills are unpaid in a heap by the drawer
I wish it was perfect with things in their place
I tried not to worry cause no one’s that way
It’s only like that in the movies
It’s only like that on TV
It’s only like that in the magazines
It’s only a fantasy
It seems I keep looking for love in my life
It’s just that I’m waiting for things to be right
For special effects and explosions of light
A choir of angels, a dashing young knight
The first time I meet him I figure I’ll know
But sometimes I worry that’s not how it goes
It’s only like that in the movies
It’s only like that on TV
It’s only like that in the magazines
It’s only a fantasy
And the hero never dies
She always gets the guy
So happily ever after seems like science fiction
What happens after the credits roll?
What happens after the show is done?
You and I both know
It’s only like that in the movies
It’s only like that on TV
It’s only like that in the magazines
It’s only a fantasy
Lyrics: A Blanket of Love
A blanket of love
Love yourself
Selfless love
Loving touch
Touch your heart
Hearty laugh
Laughter and comfort
Comfort in a blanket
A blanket of love
A blanket of love
A family
Fleeting moments
Meant for love
Overcome
Come with me
Meet me higher
Earth and thunder
Under a blanket
A blanket of love
A blanket of love
You
You left behind
You left behind
You left
A legacy
See your love
Love divine
Finding arms
Karmic faith
Faith devotion
Ocean of safety
Safety in a blanket
A blanket of love
A blanket of love
