wow songs about cheating in the 70’s had no right being so gorgeous. the lyrics being so…. matter of fact? he says everything so, “guess this is how is it” yanno??

smokey’s singing is bliss and wow i can’t get enough. it entices and hypnotizes me endlessly. i feel open hearing it. it’s microwaved butter smooth. the flutes in this song along with all the guitar licks, little keyboard sprinkles, and subtle percussion just put me in clouds it’s absolutely gorgeous

heard this in an uber in 2020 and loved it since. what a guitar riff. this song is so dreamy. blame winter, but it feels snowy. i love listening in wet weather. when it’s night and the stoplight’s red yellow and greens reflect on the floor below. love the pluckiness of the hook. i love songs where they’re just straight up lying lol. love his insistence on his lie. despite everyone around him very clearly seeing what’s happening. on my hands and knees. you don’t know how desperate i’ve become. in your world, i have no meaning. poetry that’s moved me since my first listen man. like a telegraph!

WOW! i can barely articulate how much i love the writing in this song. framing love as this hopeless idea with no good end that only fools mess with isn’t new(i think?), but the way each line just beats that idea down is fantastic. in her voice and words you can hear how she is, so distraught, so dejected, SO crestfallen.

love the second verse, comparing him to a gambler. talking about how straight his back is, how strong he is, until the chips are down. until it’s time to actually try, then it’s clear he’s just playing the game. but my favorite is verse 3. my lord man. pure heartbreak poetry. i love when lyrics get a little… biblical, i’ll say? passé? when it sounds old spoken. with memories marring her mind over futile odds that are then laughed at by the gods, mon dieux! absolutely despaired by that end of last lines

Found this Flickr from 2006 for this goth model/photographer girl who had a project where she went around Japan to random people’s houses and posed besides them while they ignored her and read books or played with model kits. Truly ahead of her time.
