Black Sails in the Sunset

Guys! I just discovered that Black Sails in the Sunset is also an Elvis Costello song! I refuse to believe it’s entirely coincidental (that would obviously go against the spirit of the blog) in that music aficionados such as our boys are likely to have been familiar with the song’s existence, even if they didn’t name a punk album after it intentionally.

Anyway, the lyrics are mega-quadruple angsty and I could treat them to the same level of Javey interpretation this blog exemplifies. So I thought I’d share it with you.

Have a nice weekend!

Comments and comments and comments

Hey guys, we appreciate you reading our crazy rants! But obviously we’re not setting down the absolute definitive truth, so we’d love to hear your thoughts/questions/alternate theories/raving agreement–whatever you’ve got! This blog is full of my rants and the sounds of crickets right now. But it’d be more fun as a dialogue. So, if you stopped by and you liked what you read or you have something to say, that’s what the comment boxes are for!

Hoping to hear from you,

Kaye & Shan

Crash Love thoughts

Here’s what I think about Crash Love: it’s a plea. It’s anger done up in artifice and it feels removed from Davey’s real self, the real emotions we’re used to hearing from him. And in it too there is an offer, a plea. Crash Love and the songs on it are Davey’s way of asking Jade to take back up with him–of saying, please, however we can be together, whether you can bear for it to be public or not, let us be together. I am dying without you. It’s about how Davey’s been trying and failing to medicate himself, to stop up his wounds using other people’s bodies. It’s about Davey wanting Jade back at any cost.

History tells how Jade answered.
