yes! i am a long way from home

3am. miles of empty, empty roads.

my mind is devoid of any thoughts, like a hardbound novel with all the pages ripped out.

how do such people reason? how do such persons reason to, in one fell swoop, antagonise a hundred odd others?

anyway for the past few days i've been playing this tune in my head. at first i thought it was simply 'gagging order' by radiohead, but then yesterday i realised that i'd somehow morphed it into another mogwai tune that i couldn't quite remember. only when i hit the road at 3am did i manage to discover the title on my ipod as i blasted it through the stereo.

it's funny how similarly structured the chords in both songs are. dominic's bassline also obviously shares the same musical idea as the riff in 'gagging order'.

gagging order
the pretty song from the album 'com lag'.

yes! i am a long way from home
the (frankly) massive opener, in fact, of their 1997 debut album 'young team'. don't pay too much attention to the first 30 seconds.

haha. yea. fucking 3 am. aural heaven.
