[vid] This Canyon Drive (Limelight.live performance)

Final song in my 30 April performance beta-testing the new Limelight.live music app. Happy always to work out a few kinks, and bring some melody to the current chaos.

well I’m climbing up this Canyon drive
high enough to see across time
to the days where you and I
had nothing to leave behind
up here, on this Canyon drive

a thousand feet up in the sky
on a one-lane two-way graded switchback ride
we opened up and saw ourselves from outside
and knew we wanted no other life
up here, on this Canyon drive

down in the Valley a relentless pursuit of dreams
in every shadow a sorrow and a scheme
a world designed to keep you from coming alive
far away from all the light that shines
up here, on this Canyon drive

what price wouldn’t you pay
to let nothing get in your soul’s way
to quiet dark echoes of unlived lives
at least up here there’s hope you’ll find
peace on this Canyon drive

“Garçon!” Luna clapped. “Garçon!”
“Me?” I asked.
“Do you see any other waiters here?”
“No.”
“Well then. This La Boutanche Gamay is NOT at cellar temperature.”
“May I offer you a free snausage?”
“Sure. But I won’t forget this egregious oenophillic infraction!”
“Right away, Madam.”

stationary chevy update: still stationary // month: 31 // slow air leak edition // sidenote: with alternate side rules suspended during lockdown, many cars on the block haven’t moved in the last 2 months, either, so our purple friend is enjoying quarantine company

‪“You know I was always thinking this bull would turn into a bear because of old Donnie-Boy, so I’ve been holding onto my shorts. Hoo boy, have I been wrong! But now looks like I’m gonna be right. This virus’s gonna make me a killing…”‬

“Still, there’s no harm in putting a full stop to one’s disagreeable thoughts by looking at a mark on the wall.” // Virginia Woolf (1921)

So, on paper, to my quirky ears, quarantine always sounded worthwhile, every once in a while, pandemic shmandenic.

“Why is nature so squishy?!” Luna cried, shaking a wet leaf off her paw. “Sgreamhail!”
“Aw, it’s just Earth reminiscing about its childhood of primordial goo.”
“Well, it’s cold, wet, mushy, ew, ew, EW!”
“But you’re an animal-“
“Domesticated animal! Just like you.”
“Fair enough.”

“Are there really dogs in NYC who get out more than some people?” Luna wondered.
“Sad,” I said, “but true.”
“Are those the people who watch daytime TV news?”
“Perhaps. For some, TV is a best friend.”
“Get a dog!”
“Some do.”
“Oh man,” she sighed. “Let’s keep going.”
“Sure, Kid.”

“Dude,” said Luna. “Rager last night! Look at all that shotgunned Claw.”
“I don’t know, Kid,” I said. “Toddler seating and empty Claw cans just seems weird.”
“Aw, fattyoldfatfat forgot how to par-tay?!”
“Like you’d know-“
“Ain’t no laws with Claws, Beeatch!”
“Ok, let’s move.”
