Basking In The Enjoyment Of Life (Bonus Feature: Holland 1945 - performed by Diana Moore)

Recorded on her iphone, and sent to me via text, Diana would lend her voice to a mix I would later produce titled "Dimples In Fabric Of Song 3". This is a video I made to a cover she sent me of Neutral Milk Hotel's "Holland 1945".

[BaltasarDCruz]

(lyrics cont.)

And here's where your mother sleeps

And here is the room where your brothers were born

Indentions in the sheets

Where their bodies once moved but don't move anymore

And it's so sad to see the world agree

That they'd rather see their faces fill with flies

All when I'd want to keep white roses in their eyes

[BaltasarDCruz]

(lyrics cont.)

He didn't mean to make you cry

With sparks that ring and bullets fly

On empty rings around your heart

The world just screams and falls apart

But now we must pick up every piece

Of the life we used to love

Just to keep ourselves

At least enough to carry on

[BaltasarDCruz]

(lyrics cont.) But now we must pick up every piece Of the life we used to love Just to keep ourselves At least enough to carry on And now we ride the circus wheel With your dark brother wrapped in white Says it was good to be alive But now he rides a comet's flame And won't be coming back again The Earth looks better from a star That's right above from where you are

[BaltasarDCruz]

The only girl I've ever loved Was born with roses in her eyes But then they buried her alive One evening, 1945 With just her sister at her side And only weeks before the guns All came and rained on everyone Now she's a little boy in Spain Playing pianos filled with flames On empty rings around the sun All sing to say my dream has come
