PLAYLIST: terrible things // beautiful melodies
I like Beautiful Melodies telling me Terrible Things
Once, there was a boy who could make magic with his music. He wanted to be a rockstar. He practiced and played and made a hell of a lot of magic for screaming audiences in divey clubs. And then he kiiiind of accidentally almost summoned a demon. It changed the entire trajectory of his life. Twenty years later: now he's a dad living in the suburbs. He doesn't have (m)any regrets. There are worse things to be than a divorced high school teacher. Way way waaaaay worse things. Trust him, he knows from experience.

Who said that every wish would be heard and answered when wished on the morning star? / Somebody thought of that and someone believed it / Look what it's done so far / What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing and what do we think we might see? / Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection / The lovers, the dreamers and me"So, if music is the best, what is music? Anything can be music, but it doesn't become music until someone wills it to be music, and the audience listening to it decides to perceive it as music." —Frank Zappa
