On the beach

When I first met Aubrey, he had a cassette tape of this record. He was a big Neil Young fan and this record was hard to find/out of print.

I remember us listening to the tape many times in various high states. Crashing on speed or cocaine, drinking, high on heroin. Sometimes a combination of all these things.

Im pretty sure we still have that tape – I will check tomorrow and post a picture as a comment if I can find it.

This is a beautiful, sad song. The band plays the song with such epic sadness and loping grace.

It fit the life we were leading.
We were alive in many serious ways but struggling at the same time.

Not exactly sure if we would make it out alive.

There are some amazing, simple lines in the lyrics.

“The world is turning. I hope it dont turn away. All my pictures are fallin’ From the wall where I placed them yesterday”

“Though my problems are meaningless that dont make them go away“
