The most beautiful girl

{EAV_BLOG_VER:27ff8a9dffc16c9b}

This is Jill. The most beautiful girl I have ever met..

Decided against another cinema day and instead Jill and I went out for a bit of lunch.

We got to talking about what the greatest love song of all time is. I'm thinking Unchained Melody and Jill is saying I will always love you (Dolly).We are undecided so please share your opinions.

My new favourite soundtrack at the mommet is "fear and loathing" the songs on it are incredible as well as the editing and spoken word by Johnny Depp.

Im loving this song One toke over the line (i had never heard it before) especially the vocal arrangement/harmonies near the end.

But this is the best moment of the sountrack and may even be the finest lines of the book Hunter ever wrote. It is just beautifully written and delivered perfectly by Mr Depp.

"There was madness in any direction, at any hour. If not across the Bay, then up the Golden Gate or down 101 to Los Altos or La Honda .... You could strike sparks anywhere. There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was right, that we were winning...

And that, I think, was the handle that sense of inevitable victory over the forces of Old and Evil. Not in any mean or military sense; we didn't need that. Our energy would simply prevail. There was no point in fighting on our side or theirs. We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave ....


So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back."

and then this song plays get together

I have always been able to find any video I have looked for and today I couldn't find two. The original of St Augustine and Get Together with the wave speech attached.

I have also been listening to the highly recommended John Wesley Harding album quite alot and it is sounding rather good.

The standout track for me at the moment is "I dreamed I saw St Augustine".

"I dreamed I saw St. Augustine
Alive as you or me
Tearing through these quarters
In the utmost misery
With a blanket underneath his arm
And a coat of solid gold
Searching for the very souls
Whom already have been sold

Arise, arise,he cried so loud
In a voice without restraint
Come out, ye gifted kings and queens
And hear my sad complaint
No martyr is among ye now
Whom you can call your own
So go on your way accordingly
But know you?re not alone?

I dreamed I saw St. Augustine
Alive with fiery breath
And I dreamed I was amongst the ones
That put him out to death
Oh, I awoke in anger
So alone and terrified
I put my fingers against the glass
And bowed my head and cried"


The rest of the day will be spent watching dvd's The Big Lebowski, The Piano and Barry Lyndon.
