So there's this woman

and she was, um, on an airplane, and she's flying to meet her fiancé, sailing high above the the largest ocean on planet earth, and she was seated next to this man who, you know, she had tried to start conversations, and, only really the only thing she'd heard him say was just to order his, his Bloody Mary, and

. . . and she's sittin' there, and she's reading this really arduous magazine article about a third world country that she couldn't even pronounce the the name of and she's feeling very bored, and very . . . despondent.

And then, uh . . . suddenly . . . there was this huge mechanical failure and one of the, the engines gave out, and they started just falling - thirty thousand feet - the, uh, pilot's on the, on the microphone and he's, he's saying, um, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, oh my God, I'm . . . I'm sorry," and apologizing and, and she looks at the man, and she, and she says, she says, she says, "Where are we going?"

And, uh, and he looks at her . . . and he says, "We're going to a party! . . . it, it's a birthday party . . . it's your birthday party, happy birthday, darling! We love you very, very, very, very, very, very, very much!

And then um, he starts hummin' this little tune, and, and, uh, it kinda goes like this, it's kinda - one, two, one, two, three, four

 

*speechless. Raises finger, but loses thought*

Jesus?_____________

 

We must talk in every telephone, get eaten off the web.

We must rip-out all the epilogues in the books that we have read.

 

Into the face of every criminal strapped firmly to a chair, we must stare, we must stare, we must stare.

 

WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

And from that day forth, Misty was a fan of TMM.

 

...And we're still talking about this?

 

Not anymore.

 

Nothing from A Collection of Songs or Lifted? Those and I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning are my favorites. o:

 

What of Conor Oberst's various other projects?

 

Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band (or whatever it's called) never really appealed to me, and I have a Commander Venus CD laying around here somewhere but I never listened to it.

 

I don't understand any of this thread, except that I lost the game.

Someone explain.

 

I'll download Lifted now and check it out

I dunno what the first one is that you suggested :O
