they call me the apologist
and now that i’m at peak
you know at first it really hurt
we joke about these things
i’ve skirted all my differences
but now i’m facing up
i wanted to apologize for
everything i was so
i’m sorry so sorry
did you understand me right
the people here are good
they tell me what i should have done
and offer what i could
i’m good all is good
all’s well no complaints
when i feel regret
i get down on my knees and pray
i’m sorry so sorry
i live a simple life
unfettered by complex sweets
you think this isn’t me
don’t be weak
there i go
i’m so sorry
thank you for being there for me
thank you for listening goodbye
i can forfeit selfishness
i hope for you that you apply
this happiness
this peacefulness
i’m sorry so sorry
i live a simple life
unfettered by complex sweets
you think this isn’t me
that’s so sweet
i’m so sorry
The Apologist by R.E.M.
A quote from that was the random choice across the top when I checked my last post had published ok. It seemed so very appropriate.
I’m rebelling against music a lot this week. I’ve not had a chance to listen to anything in work as I’ve been working in the CD lab for most of the week. My computer won’t play music and when I do get to listen to stuff I can’t listen to it for too long without feeling the need for silence. It is quite a strange feeling. I’m listening to Ryan Adams’ Gold while I’m reading downstairs and it’s doing allright so far. Might be mild enough to keep going but I must admit I was much more caught up in the music. I’ve just read the six issue mini Spider-Man: Blue from Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale. I had been wondering what the ‘blue’ was in relation to and when they out and said it at the end it got to me a little and reminded me of a few things.
Oh I’ve mentioned this before I think but I’m going to mention it again. Alex Maleev is one of the best artists in the business these days. Someday in the future I am going to own some of his original artwork for Daredevil and it will hang on my wall with great pride.
