"I'm gonna' shine out in the wild silence and spurn the sin of giving in."
Everyday upon waking up there are two choices, give up or give in. The finale of the Dave Berman and Stephen Malkmus masterpiece American Water is breathtakingly quaint. Berman asks a wild flower how to be wild yet silent. Ah the duality of humanity.
"Behind the walls of medication I'm free"
Disrupting brain chemistry in order to feel a sense of freedom. If man feels only happiness will time cease to exist?
"It is autumn and my camouflage is dying,
Instead of time there will be lateness,
And let forever be delayed."
The Malkmus solo after this verse is ungodly. Imagine a bud blooming into a beautiful flower. Thank you so much Silver Jews for creating something out of nothing.
