I've looked everywhere, Mr. Forbes

but I can't find the cello or yet the french horn

And I can't find the harp

I don't know where it's gone

and of course you can't go without that

I've looked everywhere, Mr. Forbes

but I can't find your clamshells, your file or your drill

and your sheepskin-lined coat is eluding me still

and of course you can't go without that

I've looked in the attic, the cellar and the hall

I've looked in the studio, study and all

I've looked in the chest where I thought it should be

I've looked in the greenhouses- one, two and three

I've looked everywhere, Mr. Forbes

but I can't find the gavel

and oh why oh why can't I think what I did with that ol' skill and die

and of course you can't go without that

You can't possibly go without that

from the shivering and brilliant "Marla" by the beloved Grizzly Bear

there's something so insanely beautiful and nostalgic, yet disturbing, with it. spellbinding.

in somewhat the same manner as "life in a glasshouse" by Radiohead. which hits like a wall. this track is too amazing. from my favorite album by them, "Amnesiac". that's what i really want for "christmas" - the reissued version of it with all the additional tracks; B-sides and live recordings. i'm stressed about not having it. my all-time favorite music up to this day, for so many reasons.

like thom yorke said about kid a - this is pop. to me, at least. it's about doing what you really truly love.
