axiom to zeal : music : what love

"Be melting snow.
Wash yourself of yourself.
A white flower grows in the quiteness.
Let your tounge become that flower."
Mevlâna Jalâluddîn Rumi
Be melting snow. (1207-1273)

what love

printable version
written :: Spring 2005
desc :: Ok... this song is a bit of a downer. It's about what it's like to have had love, but not currently be anywhere near it. There is so much subtlety wrapped up in here. I challenge you to discover its secrets. I hope you can take something from it. Ray said of this song, "that is the best song I think you will be able to write" (he only heard the melody.) Currently, it may be true. [64:6:23]

Lover's Almanac

machine gun etiquette
cubicals and farms
the difference
the ballad of U. and A.
keep going...
what love
green and red
parachute
adult themes
for every sprinkle I find
and god mumbled
getting chilly
arise
the hearts directions

a little motivation

still in my song

Love is just a road sign again.
Swedish the language it's written in.
Now I have to call on a friend,
just to know how far away I am.

A poem in espanol sings this;
describing love in all its bliss.
I have to call upon a friend
to let me know what it is I miss.

BRIDGE
Kissing you is an unwanted reminder
of how far I am from love, and how much I'd like to find her.
Those who find themselves without, I think will concur...
best if you never had, or at least you can't remember.

CHORUS
what love?
what love?
what love?

Take a shot for old time's sake,
the lips mistake may bring my heart awake.
We can sing, yet we reel with choice.
We must rejoice with a human voice.

CHORUS

Lips of ivory will rewrite history
but Gray men steal, a portait of mystery.
Of golden words, what comes to life?
Feels alright, but the truth cuts like a knife.
