It's been quite a while (ok, years, actually) since I've poked my head through this particular door. Where have ABook and El Kabong (my fellow Tool fan) gone to?
dont know what happened to Abook but ElK morphed into pepe silvia. last we heard he got married and moved houses. so i guess hes eyeball deep in domestic bliss and an actual life.
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say

Ah, thank you! I haven't (yet) spoken with his new incarnation but I do hope he's well.

I think Thom is one of those with a voice not necessarily considered "good", but damned honest - from the soul. Kinda like Shannon Hoon's, in a way. It either resonates or not.
Both do with me.
My falling-for-them moment was upon first hearing OK Computer, well after it was released (as has happened with much of my beloved music).
It's amazing how much time love saves you at first
When you rediscover your reason to work
And your aimless dreaming has found a target and
You normalize and greet all function returned
Came home early, a quarter to two
I don't need more wine, I'm coming for you
We carry pictures in our pretend wallets
Of ourselves in heavily edited seventies
With better handwriting and longer days at the park
And dinners with no drama, the Professor, and Mary Ann
Came home early, a quarter to two
I don't need more wine, I'm coming for you
When I was young
I didn't know if I was better off asleep or up
Now I've grown up
I wonder what was that world I was dreaming of?
When I was young
I didn't know if I was better off asleep or up
And I've grown up
I wonder what was that world I was dreaming of?
What was that world I was dreaming of?
What was that world I was dreaming of?
Late summer return
Airless apartment I lean out the window
Deals on irregular shirts
Same fright delight as last year more so
When I was young
I didn't know if I was better off asleep or up
Now I've grown up
I wonder what was that world I was dreaming of?
What was that world I was dreaming of?
What was that world I was dreaming of?
Now I've grown up
I wonder what was that world I was dreaming of?
What was that world I was dreaming of?
What was that world I was dreaming of?
It includes clips from the movie "The Fountain" looks like an interesting movie.
Secret Separation
We are passengers in time
Lost in motion, locked together
Day and night, by trick of light
But I must take another journey
We must meet with other names
Mmm, we must meet with other names
You touched my heart so deeply
You rescued me now free me
Don't watch me cry just see me go
I'll take away the strongest feelings
you will ever know
(chorus)
There will be no more isolation
in our secret separation
You touched my heart so deeply
you rescued me
Now free me
We are passengers in time
Lost in motion, locked together
Day and night, by trick of light
But I must take another journey
We must meet with other names
If you hold me you will hurt me
Be brave
(chorus)
We are matching spark and flame
caught in endless repetition
Life for life we'll be the same
I must leave before you burn me
I am the stranger who deserts you
only to love you
in another life
(chorus)
I'll bear one precious scar
that only you will know
Passengers in time, free me

One of those comforting memories that has stayed with me...more than ten years ago, on the old incarnation of this board, I remember listening to and posting about this song late at night - Nothingman, Milan 2000.
Kat! I think you were there that evening, along with PJMom. It was a night much like this...peaceful. Tonight, soft rain, and candle-lit.
Don?t you know, they?re talkin? 'bout a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
Don?t you know, they?re talkin? 'bout a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
While they?re standing in the welfare lines
Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation
Wasting time, in the unemployment lines
Sitting around, waiting for a promotion
Don?t you know, they?re talkin? 'bout a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
Poor people gonna rise up and get their share
Poor people gonna rise up and take what?s theirs
Don?t you know, you better run, run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run
Oh, I said you better, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run, run
'Cus finally the tables are starting to turn, talkin? 'bout a revolution
'Cus finally the tables are starting to turn, talkin? 'bout a revolution, oh no
Talkin? 'bout a revolution ,oh
While they're standing in the welfare lines
Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation
Wasting time in the unemployment lines
Sitting around waiting for a promotion
Don?t you know, they?re talkin? 'bout a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
And finally the tables are starting to turn, talkin? 'bout a revolution
Yes, finally the tables are starting to turn, talkin? 'bout a revolution, oh no
Talkin? bout a revolution, oh no, talkin? bout a revolution, oh no

People, if they choose you, then they want you to decide
But youd rather relax, kick back, enjoy the ride
Theres a catagory if youre straight or gay
Youre a wild card gambler and you like it both ways
Everybody wants you when youre bi
Looking at the girls and eyeing all the guys
Everybody loves you when youre bi
But the tension and the passions double amplified
My lover told me, well, that shes bi
I wanted to scream, there were tears in my eyes
She said baby, baby, dont you cry
cause the one I am with, youve been seeing on the side
Everybody wants you when youre bi
Eating with the girls and laughing with the guys
Everybody loves you when youre bi
But the tension and the passions double amplified
Everybody wants you when youre bi
Feeling all the girls and touching all the guys
Well, everybody loves you when youre bi
Well a friend of a friend of a friend told me
Everybodys messed up with their sexuality
Well a friend of a friend of a friend told me
I need a closet big enough to live in
A closet for the whole world to live in
I want a closet big enough to live in
A closet for the whole world to live in
Everybody wants you when youre bi
Loving all the girls and loving all the guys
Everybody needs you when youre bi
But the tension and the passions double amplified
Everybody wants you [thats right]
Everybody needs you [um-hum]
Everybody likes you [Ill bet]
Everybody loves you
Everybody, yeah
Everybody
Everybody, come on now
Everybody, [not me]
Everybody, whoo
Everybody, yeah
Everybody, come on now
Everybody
Well everybody loves you
Bi
Licking all the girls
Bi
Licking all the guys
Everybodys fucked up with their sexuality
You like it both ways
Like it both ways
Bi

take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
(and hopefully done morphing)
Got a box full of letters,
Think you might like to read
Some things that you might like to see,
But they're all addressed to me
Wish I had a lotta answers,
'Cause that's the way it should be
For all these questions,
Being directed at me
I just can't find the time
To write my mind
The way I want it to read
You'll come back again
And I'll still be your friend
I got a lot of your records,
In a separate stack
Some things that I might like to hear,
But I guess I'll give 'em back
I wish I had a lotta answers,
'Cause that's the way it should be
All these questions
Being directed at me
Just can't find the time
To write my mind
The way I want it to read
You'll come back again,
And I'll still be your friend
I can't find the time
To write my mind
The way I want it to read
Just can't find the time
To write my mind
The way I want it to read
