you + from above you how i sank into your soul into that secret place where
no one dares to go. into you i will glow. let your skin begin to blend itself
with mine, we will fold & freeze together. rings of flowers round your eyes
& i love you. thunderous sparks from the dark of the stadiums the music and
medicine you needed for comforting so make all your fat fleshy fingers to moving
& pluck all your silly strings & bend all your notes for me- soft silly music
is meaningful magical all in your ovaries all of them milking with green fleshy
flowers while powerful pistons were sugary sweet machines. for i am an engine
and I'm holding on. what a beautiful face i have found in this place that is
circling all round the sun. hear her voice as it's rolling and ringing through
me, let me hold it close and keep it here with me. 2headed boy all floating
in glass. makes babies to breathe w/their hearts hanging open all over the sheets
as soft as beets in some brown dresser drawers

Other Comments: I used to think i had a magic touch: I would discover
a band and two years later everyone would like them, Examples include Nirvana,
Pixies, Green Day, Mercury Rev, Flaming Lips. But just once or twice it doesn't
quite happen: the failure of the Violent Femmes to conquer the world still rankles-
and what the hell are Archers of Loaf and the Eggs doing now? It looks like
NMH will fall into this category but i think thats probably how JM would like
it. Actually, Jeff probably doesn't give a fuck about popular recognition, but
sad old bastards like me will keep on trying to spread the word.

Other Comments: I met a man in a dream. He told me to find a girl and
settle down. And he told me to look inside the hollow leg of a certain church
pew in Boston for the answer to life. He told me how to tell the world the meanings
behind my eyes and he told me how to love the wild things of the earth. I haven't
met him yet in dreams or otherwise but I hear him in Jeff's voice and I heard
him in Dylan's voice and in Woody Guthrie's. When I meet him finally it will
be the feeling of falling into Two-Headed Boy or Sad Eyed Lady of the Low Lands.
Thanks for contributing to the feelings of wonder the world has to offer.

Other Comments: I would like to know where the heck Jeff came up with
these lyrics! I mean, Not only are the lyrics crushingly depressing, hauntingly
beautiful and extraordinarily bizarre, they're full of repeating themes and
imagery. Did this guy have a pair of little conjoined-twin brothers that died
or what? Who used to build radios and dance around in the kitchen, who were
wrapped in warm-wet-safe-clean-gold-silver-white sheets?

Other Comments: I listened to the album In a Aereoplane over the sea
every night just when I was about to sleep for two month (I don't have a problem
with sleeping, I just love music and want to listen to it always). I never fell
asleep until I had heard all the songs. Now I just switched listening to Doves
- Last Broadcast instead, and I always falls asleep after only a song or two...
Still it's a great record so I don't know why that is. Hello from Sweden, hope
you all are doing well :)
