Poem - Not Waving but Drowning by Stevie Smith
Always upbeat, or I mean never upbeat, Irene has shared another poem:
Nobody heard him, the dead man,
But still he lay moaning:
I was much further out than you thought
And not waving but drowning.
Poor chap, he always loved larking
And now he's dead
It must have been too cold for him his heart gave way,
They said.
Oh, no no no, it was too cold always
(Still the dead one lay moaning)
I was much too far out all my life
And not waving but drowning.
Stevie Smith
Nobody heard him, the dead man,
But still he lay moaning:
I was much further out than you thought
And not waving but drowning.
Poor chap, he always loved larking
And now he's dead
It must have been too cold for him his heart gave way,
They said.
Oh, no no no, it was too cold always
(Still the dead one lay moaning)
I was much too far out all my life
And not waving but drowning.

Song of the day - Crazy
Today's song of the day is "Crazy" by Gnarls Barkley. This is a live version, and quite a bit slower than the song you are used to, but just as hypnotic.

song of the day - Keys to Your Heart
Today's song of the day is "Keys to Your Heart" by The 101ers. It's set to a montage of Clash and Joe Strummer photos who had a thing about being photographed in lockers, cabinets and on shelves. It's a great tune.

song of the day - Blindsided
Today's song of the day is Bon Iver's "Blindsided". It has a quiet, spare and layered sound. It stayed with me after I heard it.
