I've chosen to name this blog after a specific passage in the wonderful song 'The 2 of Us'. Actually I could have used other passages as well, but I find this one the most fitting. I'll leave it to you to make your own interpretation of it; "in each line lies another line". That's how it should be with good poetry and moving music, what's important is what it means to you. It's how you feel and experience it that matter.
By naming my blog after this Suede song, is also a way of celebrating this band and their music that have meant so much to me over the years, and still do. If I would recommend one album for you to really listen to, with body and soul, it'd be Suede's album Dog Man Star, from which this song is.
Here're the entire lyrics for the song:
Lying in my bed, I think of you
That song goes through my head, the one we both knew
In each line lies another line full of sacred sound
But you're outside where the companies dream and the money goes round
Lying in my bed,
Watching my mistakes,
I listen to the band they said that it could be the 2 of us
The snow might fall and write the lines on the silent page
But you're outside making permanent love to the nuclear age
Two silhouettes by the cash machine make a lovers dance
It's a tango for the lonely wives of the business class
Lying in my bed
Watching my mistakes
I listen to the band
Lying in my bed
With nothing much to say so I listen to the man
He said that it could be the 2 of us
I heard you call from across the city through the stereo sound
And so I crawled there sickeningly pretty as the money went round
Lying in my head watching my mistakes
I listen to the band
And the drums beat in my head
Pianos chime the sound in this prison of the house
And as the illness comes again can you hear me through the rain
As I listen to the band?
As I sing the silent song
Mime each lonely word
Please listen to the man he said that it could be the 2 of us
.....alone but not lonely, you and me, alone but loaded
Listen to this beautiful piece of music here.

The song is written by Anderson/Butler,
and produced by Ed Buller, 1994.
