And life is good and the girls are gorgeous
Suddenly the air smells much greener now
And I’m wondering ’round
With a half pack of cigarettes
Searching for the change that I’ve lost somehow…
Though this kids make quite a lot of mistakes while playing, the video is still pretty cool. Nice idea, three guys playing the same guitar. It’s pretty cool.

This is one of my favorite videos and songs of all times. For some reason, it makes me cry….well, not really, but still, it’s a touching song, a masterpiece. It is supposed to be inspired by the novel The Famished Road. I’ve never read that book, but I guess I will have to now.
This is what Thom Yorke says about the song:
Street Spirit is our purest song, but I didn’t write it. It wrote itself. We were just its messengers; its biological catalysts. Its core is a complete mystery to me, and, you know, I wouldn’t ever try to write something that hopeless. All of our saddest songs have somewhere in them at least a glimmer of resolve. Street Spirit has no resolve. It is the dark tunnel without the light at the end. It represents all tragic emotion that is so hurtful that the sound of that melody is its only definition. We all have a way of dealing with that song. It’s called detachment. Especially me; I detach my emotional radar from that song, or I couldn’t play it. I’d crack. I’d break down on stage. That’s why its lyrics are just a bunch of mini-stories or visual images as opposed to a cohesive explanation of its meaning. I used images set to the music that I thought would convey the emotional entirety of the lyric and music working together. That’s what’s meant by ‘all these things are one to swallow whole’. I meant the emotional entirety, because I didn’t have it in me to articulate the emotion. I’d crack…
“Gloria” is a rock song written by Van Morrison and originally recorded by Morrison’s band Them in 1964 as the B-side of “Baby Please Don’t Go”, which reached #10 on the UK charts. It later reached #71 on the U.S. charts in 1966.
For a while, this blog has had too many babes, too little music. I’m not complaining, but today I have some cool music, guitar, rythm, blues. Just cool stuff.

Not only she looks good, she also sings well. Just look at those eyes, they are beautiful, she’s beautiful all over…but back to her singing, here you got another video of her: time waster
