Song of the Day: June 5
"Matches to Paper Dolls" by Dessa
#song of the day#took me such a long time to place this song today#grinding my teeth through some particularly frustrating data requests#(here's a direct quote from the request message: ?grad students?)#and I'm baiting myself with Redwall books and at some point I was chanting 'just one more chapter' and then it had a rhythm!#and I was like oh that's a song! what the hell song is that#took me aaaages which feels silly because it's part of the chorus but then the chorus is so rarely the best part of a Dessa song#'forgive and forget and give in to attraction / this whole thing depends on amnesia and magnets' has the best delivery#and then just after it 'the fervor the fire the feathers this fever defies measure' is I think my favorite phrasing#anyway I'm sleeping in segments and waking to work and giving myself jaw strain the whole time but I made a really nice pasta salad#and I've read four Redwall books--Outcast; Mariel; Mattimeo; and my beloved Rakkety Tam#(if I were going to have something with a rhythm stuck in my head by all rights it ought to be Rakkety Tam's epigraph chants#Rakkety Rakkety Rakkety Tam the drums are beatin braw)#I'll be a person again by this weekend whether I like it or not--my family is coming!#Mom's bringing the littles up to stay with us for their summer break#no idea what that'll do to my sleep schedule but it can't get worse!
