we dreamed of each other

we dreamed of something better and now

let's stay always

let's stay forever now

[szivko-szilank]

Forget the words I said Remove them from your head Erase the time we spent And everything we did then

Hide me from your eyes Between your day and night Neither wrong nor right In a slow dive At twilight

You come closer And closer Don't You could run me over And over But I know you won't

Let me go Don't Hold me close Don't

Forget the life we lived It's all up in the air now, oh Abandon all of it Like you don't even care now, no

You're moving in the dark Your hands are on my neck Then down across my heart Can you feel me Disappearing

Nothing to Hold no Hold no Don't Don't come any closer Closer Please don't

Let me go Don't Hold me close Don't

Starve yourself of My attention Phase me out of sight Save yourself from My intentions Hide me in your twilight

Cause I'm no good for you No good for you No good for you And I know what I do You know it too You know it too No I'm no good for you No good for you Good for you Don't you feel it too? You feel it too I know you do

Let me go Don't Hold me close Don't

Starve yourself of My attention Phase me out of sight Save yourself from My intentions Hide me in your twilight

[soulful-lines]

Are you a phantom? Or just a shadow? You look like heaven The one place I can't go And it's a prison To love a shadow To chase an echo

April was sooo busy. Lots of appointments to catch up on. And I am exhausted. Actually, exhausted has become my natural state, and I hate it. Health issues are getting worse again. And depression has been high, making it hard to stay motivated and interested in much. But here are some favorites that stood out.

The Sims 2: I've been excited to play this almost every day, and in a time where it's hard to get excited about much, I'm very grateful. I've been posting to the Simblr, if you're interested in seeing what's been going on with my pixel people.

St. Denis Medical: My Mom got me into this show recently. It is exceptionally goofy, but I love it. It's been a while since the cast of a comedy show pulled me in this quickly. We've also been rewatching King of Queens, which is one of our favorites, so there's been a lot of laughter going on at night lately. Something very much needed.

New Phone: I have a new phone for the first time in five-ish years. A Samsung Galaxy S25. I don't want to sound like an ad, so I won't try to sell you on it. 😂 But it's very nice. Also getting a mag-safe case with grip ring is a game-changer.

Music Favs: A Pill to Crush (Evalyn), 23 & Kill (Jimmy Eat World), The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived (Taylor Swift), Dew (Ex Makina), Bloom (CLAVVS), Fearless (Colbie Caillat).

Jaz sent me a TikTokTM

This particular TikTokTM is a cover of "I'm On Fire", by Bruce Springsteen, which cover is performed by a 22yo with the thesis "dad rock and lesbian indie are essentially the same thing".

As is typical, I said something about the vibes which made perfect sense to me but was impenetrable to my conversational partner. This, uh, caused me to wax poetical about what I meant, which is ALSO very typical, specifically for when I am talking about Bruce Springsteen songs.

To wit: "Springsteen's sheets are soaking wet because of the sort of desire that bubbles up against the stifling heat of the waning summer; the restless kind that would drive someone out to the hills on the off chance that SOMETHING could happen tonight. Thea's sheets are soaking wet because of the febrile tossing and turning that one does in the first week the boiler is switched on for one's apartment; it's a desire that turns in tightening gyre and doesn't want to move but laments the lack of movement anyway."

Thinking this hard about something I'm already autistic about triggered the dreaded hyperfixation, and so of course I immediately started listening to all the covers I could get my gay little hands on via Spotify, and assigning them months.

Soccer Mommy is April: I'm not sure for what their desire burns, but maybe they aren't either Electrelane is late July: The mumbled drudgery of summer gains steam over the course of the song; by the end the energy that's been building slowly the whole time has bloomed in a revelry in the joy of desire, much like the heat that's been building over the course of the month & season. Bat For Lashes changed the lyrics to make it straight, and embodies December. There's an arcane quality to how she sings this song, like the plodding dark of the solstice. Her desire is to feel worthy of inclusion in winter, despite being so early in the meteorological season. Chromatics is February: The desire here is buffeted about between thaw and freeze; these sheets are soaking wet from sleety rain and the hope for what could come after. Gus Dapperton is FAITHFUL to the original, putting them solidly in September. Where it differs from Springsteen's song, it is with an eager energy that hopes for reinvention. Shakey Graves has the most inventive cover so far, netting June. I heard he killed a guy. The Staves is the band that Thea Grace was shouting out, but they're distinctly March. Their sheets are soaking wet with the meltwater of the very end of the month; their desire is cooled, but by the runoff of the love they already have - no need to chase after the unobtainable. Cassandra Violet's version sure is for a motion picture (Pig???!?); the energy here is all montage. I wanna say October? AWOLNATION is January; their desire throbs like the first tension headache one gets from a truly cold day. I'm starting to have trouble focusing (blame it on my ADD) and we're running out of months, so I don't know that there will be many more. Low is late October: The Halloween spirit thrums through this song like holding hands with a girl while you both watch your first R-rated scary movie. Town Mountain has August energy…it's finally another novel take on this song, though it's distinctly "bluegrass band booked some studio recording time and sounds nothing like they did at the house concert you saw them at" so I hesitate to call it inventive. OKAY LAST ONE BECAUSE THERE ARE LIKE FIFTY OF THESE: CLAVVS is May. No I didn't pick that just because it's the only month left. No I will not elaborate on my reasons.

Here they are in chronological order according to the Hebrew calendar, ya sluts. Thanks for reading this whole thing.

P.S.: Jaz sent me the video in the first place because of my literary analysis of Springsteen's work as transfeminine and sapphic (specifically butch); there's just something about the way he says "hey little girl is your d*ddy home" that feels less like male territoriality and more like the conspiratorial wink of a dyke hoping to see you in your own right. Too, the way the narrator's class fundamentally alienates him from the (married, wealthy) object of affection and (wealthy, WASPy) masculinity mirrors the fundamental alienation that a butch woman might feel from her (presumed straight, at the very least femme) object of affection and (wealthy, male) masculine aesthetics. Look at the music video! The narrator hopes for a moment of understanding even across these gulfs!! The object of affection longs just as much, just as impossibly!!! This too is yuri!!!!!!!

If I could do this year over, there are things I would do differently. I would choose to not open up as much. To be less vulnerable. To trust less. But that would be its own mistake.
