You can listen to this one.
This one is titled, Only Hurt (or, The Pursuit Not of Happiness, But Else, And Thus Much More). That may change. I just like them long and ambiguous.

Anyway, it's a ballad of sorts. And you get to hear some piano work.

lyrics:
back to the Wild Bloom i go
back where time and space are thrown
to pretty little Landing Ships
back to Hurt; i'm back to this:
cracked Heads (&) Dead Hearts

this one is mixed pretty well. The guitar panning and entering stood my little hairs up. The way you sing it makes the words feel nonsensical. I know from past experience that you are "out there" with your music. But this one I liked near the end as it built up especially. The guitar is simple with the bursts of strumming, and I liked how it wasn't shy.
As far as what I took meaning wise from the song, I couldn't really tell you. It mostly felt like a flurry of orchestrated noises were running through my head. Your last post was too ambient/experimental for me. I'm pretty old fashioned. But good execution on this one.

Re: Since you didn't listen to the last one, you f*cks.
I've been meaning to rerecording the opening verse with a bit more gusto to it. I sang quietly and mumbled a bit on that one to avoid waking the roommate (what you get recording onto a laptop).
As far as the lyrics meaning, since I get asked that a lot.
back to the Wild Bloom i go (returning to chase after a girl who has lost her passion for life, with the self-indulgent idea that you can rejuvenate it; but more than anything, chasing her -- she is the wild bloom)
back where time and space are thrown (when her first response was, "I need a little time," and then later, "Don't talk to me any more"; you are divided by time and space -- it's been thrown in your face)
to pretty little landing ships (she's surrounded by a million men asking her hand -- a flood of landing ships, like the Spaniards in 1588. This you have to fight through, and they are all more polite, more monetarily endowed, and better looking -- pretty -- so good luck getting to the dock).
back to hurt; i'm back to this (the hurt is obvious -- back to this prepares you for the list to follow)
cracked heads (if that's what it takes, you'll back taking a baseball bat to some of these fuckers -- what we call not giving up; also a reference to the fighting you two engaged in, what she's afraid of and doesn't want to encounter once more; but fights are good, fights make for life and passion, and so are worth going "back to)
dead Hearts (the hopelessness of the endeavor; the idea that there's a million to one chance of getting your heart broken again, but you'll run back to it anyway; the fear that you might crush her heart in the end and that you are wasting your time; and the pining masochism, drinking, smoking, restlessness and sleeplessness when caught up in daydreams when you should be nightdreaming, that comes when you decide -- or allow yourself -- to fall back in love).
Hence, back to the Wild Bloom I go.
EDIT: Sorry for calling you all fucks, but I don't do much critiquing as well; however, when I do, it usually is extremely thorough and articulate, and I spend a lot of time on them, so I expect at least a brief note in response to my own posts, and I consider it rude when I don't.

Re: Since you didn't listen to the last one, you f*cks.
its sounds like you have a lot to say about this subject matter and your minimalist lyrics don't fully convey everything. The connection some lines have with what you really intend seem a tad obscure. I have trouble inferring that the line "back when time and space are thrown" means how one day you can talk to someone and the next day its all in shambles. You explain each line very well, so well in fact that it seems like you should write more to properly convey to the listeners what you mean. As of now it seems like an excerpt from your notebook and is in danger of relating only to you. The lines you have are nice and poetic, but for me they lack a meaning (until you explained).
And yes, we are f*cks, no offense taken. Hope that clarifies what I took from this song.

Re: Since you didn't listen to the last one, you f*cks.
In some songs, the meaning is more important than the sound. I didn't think this was one of those songs -- it's really just a ballad, an anthem, y'understand?
try these new lyrics for another song; tell me if they're too obscure.
GLASS FLOWERS
don't misunderstand me
-- i do not believe
i really meant to speak --
when i die, will you...
stop interrupting me
she's got all the right...
and she'll show them off to anyone
but that's the kind of love you want
on this kind of night,
to get the devil out of you
and like a nazi parasite,
we'll chew up copenhagen
and it will be romantic;
glass flowers in the sandpit
for you to step on without shoes.
pulled apart by dragon flies
with little chariots tied
down tight to their wings
am i smaller than i think?
when did devils ever ride on dragon flies?
there before your knife
jump out if you like
or pull on out your eyes
it's all a waste of time
it's all a waste of you
and he's got all the right...
and he'll show them off to anyone
but that's the kind of love you want
on this kind of night,
to get the devil out of you
i'm there before your knife
and i'll jump out if i like
or pull on out my eyes
it's all a waste of time
it's all a waste of you

Re: Since you didn't listen to the last one, you f*cks.
My comments to the earlier lyrics were no questioning of your musicianship, I was trying to clarify what you intended the song to be. These new lyrics have a much clearer presentation. The line about "to get the devil out of you" is probably the strongest. It stands out to me when I read it. Well.. its about time I hit the ol' dusty trail...
Re: Since you didn't listen to the last one, you f*cks.
Yooo bro, how the hell have you been?? I haven't been around but I haven't forgot about ya falles, post this mutha back up so I can give her a listen.
