"Catch for Us the Foxes" by mewithoutYou is an amazing album. Something about Aaron Weiss' lyrics always touch me. Right now it is the song "The Soviet", about a man who is struggling with selfish love and lust.
As the night-time shined like day it saw my sorry face and hair a mess
But it liked me best that way... besides, how else could I confess?
When I looked down like if to pray,
Well, I was looking down her dress... good God!
But I really like how it ends.
I don't need this
And I guess, if I had to really explain how I am feeling right now, I'd use someone else's words (as I often do) because I am too exhausted to write any more.
I've been coasting on this single's route
But I still hear your name in wedding bells
...you're the only proper noun I need

Aaron Weiss has a way of verbalizing a lot of what I wish I was able to express on my own. What a wonderful, wonderful poet.
Good post, my friend.
