    I have been thinking about that one lately as well. There really isn't anyone that sings like him anymore.

    that line has been everywhere, and it's crushing. 
    Your boos mean nothing to me, for I have seen what makes you cheer

    Moving is breathing and breathing is life

    "I'm looking California and feeling Minnesota"
     
    I loved that since my ears were first blessed with those words... Still do to this day. Just something real and beautiful/haunting about it. Definitely my favorite SG album.

    "looking california, feeling minnesota" was my MySpace profile name many years ago (remember MySpace?!?)

    I've always loved that line too

    I was listening to Euphoria Morning tonight.  There are so many great ones in that collection.

    I can't ever pick a favorite song or lyric.  There are too many!

    and so many people assume that line is knocking minnesota. I remember a long time ago Chris was asked about the meaning, and if in fact that was the case, and he said it could actually be taken the opposite way as well. or slagging both.

    Blind Dogs has always been one of my favorite songs. It's difficult to pick just one lyric because Chris really had a gift for painting pictures with his words. I haven't been able to listen to any of his music since he died, but I may try to today.

    "Blind Dogs"
    Run away
    Now it's Halloween
    Shave your head and burn your sheets
    Evil could be right next door
    What do blind dogs believe?
    I don't want to know
    Blind
    Following blind
    Run away
    Now it's Halloween
    The safe bet is on your knees
    Bow your head to the Trinity
    That's what blind dogs believe
    But I've heard that before
    Dead on my feet 
    While my nightmare walks
    I fell asleep
    Where the freeway talks
    Suffer to swim and dying to sink
    These things in the air
    They will make you think
    Make you think
    "It's best to live in grace before you're forced to." EV- 10/09/2014

    Sweet Euphoria
    Mine is the heart you own

    You lost the grace of the hands that harmed you

    In the daze of a thousand yawns

    Lost my love, as it is I'm truly gone

    In your morning I will sleep
    Fire on an open palm
    Death for Jesus and plastic armies
    Wouldn't bring me back again
    Sweet as ether eyes I'm blind to them

    And in your aching hour
    Time wilts like flowers
    Sleeping on land-mine pillows
    Tired angels save my love for the lasting one

    Sweet Euphoria mine is the heart you stole
    Touched and broken are the things you love
    Using stars to light your candles
    Warms my face but I can't remember yours
    Gone are your dandelions falling like mine
    Falling like daydream mangos
    Diving swallows
    Save my love
    Save my love
    Save my love for the lasting one

    The sky is open 

    and the drones are pouring out

    The day inhales in a contagious yawn

    I killed myself, threw away my mental health but nobody was blinking an eye
    Backyard, basement, falling on the pavement
    Nothing Left to Say But Goodbye
    Nothing Left to Say But Goodbye

    I'm thinking of your highness
    And crying long upon the loss
    I've found
    And on the plus and minus
    zero chance of ever
    Turning this around

    Why doesn't anyone believe
    In loneliness
    Stand up and everyone will see
    Your holiness

    They say if you look hard
    You'll find your way back home
    Born without a friend
    And bound to die alone
