What songs should I play?! I'm taking requests, and I'll play the top two or three requested songs from my channel videos. It's a democracy, damnit, so we're voting.

See this movie, now, seriously:

The Song is called Like a Match. The lyrics:
I took my head for its midnight walk. No no I hadnt been outside in days. I kept the leash by my side, but it wasnt quite tight, and I lost it. So now Im wandering the countryside, right past the brothels and the graveyard ghosts. And though they call me quite clearly, I keep up my pace, because they cant save us. Stuck in a space again, like dreaming with heavy legs. My head is made of Velcro, I cant let go! Let go! Let go! Let go! I still believe in love, and I believe in keeping my chin up. And though we light like a match and burn only an inch, Ill take it, yes I will. Ill take it! Such a precious instant, perfect, unintended, and nothing there to help us hold on. Hold on! Hold on! Hold on! Hold on! So Ill love her like I loved my first, Ill laugh until my stomach bursts, Ill dream until I turn to clay, and Ill be okay. Okay, okay? Okay. Okay? Okay.

It must be so amazing to be your neighbor.

Jack is: - perhaps a genius developing before our very eyes - passionate - spontaneous - unpretentious - truly innovative - musical! - a nice guy - generous - creatively honest and undiluted - a guy I would want to work with - living in the present tense Pomplamoose = Komeda+Sugarplastic? Jack = Radiohead+Rundgren? Wow.

I WOULD BE HONORED TO BE ABLE TO PLAY WITH YOU!

[ax5645]

Jack, you are an example for every musikal soul out there. Im very inspired by youre production, youre musical accuracy and you incredible timing! I belive in you for you the life i always wanted to live. I am in pro of youre music, because it is real musik.I really cant belive how almost every bit of musik "listened" to around me is so crappy. Of course there are little excpetions, because even in dark times of musik like this one there is a glitter of light, of taste and of real knoledge!
