The Missing Boy (returns)

Vini Reilly



There was a boy
I almost knew him
A glance exchanged
Made me feel good
Leaving some signs

Now a legend

The dream was wrought

Where thoughts were heard
Love is reserved
From previous times


[chorus]

Like a dead bird in the dirt
Like a rusty can on the ground
I don't believe in stardom
Machinery in action
Full of experts
Full of experts
Same old order
Same old order
Same old order


Watch with obsession
Some accident of beauty
Try to capture
As the light begins to fail
Shapes to compose
Shadows of frailty
The dream is better
Dissolves into softness
But the end
The end is always the same


[chorus]


There was a boy
I almost knew him
A glance exchanged
Made me feel good
Leaving some signs
Now a legend

Been out of commission for a few months, working on other projects, really.


But I'm back for another go-round!

Will start up again with resuscitating links from December 2010, which I'll do over the course of next week.

Then my live jaunts start up again, as I'll be seeing the following groups:

2/27 Synthetic ID + Terry Malts - Noise Pop - Rickshaw Stop SF [*]
3/22 The Joy Formidable - The Fillmore SF
4/05 Thee Oh Sees - Verdi Club SF
4/09 Sparks - The Chapel SF
4/18 Savages - The Independent SF

There may be others.

[*] Yes, this post postdates this show by about two weeks, so to make up for it, I'll be putting up my recordings for these groups over the weekend!
