Fireworks
by Animal Collective

(Or; actually, a medley with Fireworks in it.)

Happy new year, folks! Aside from Death Cab For Cutie’s “The New Year,” this is one of my New Year mix staples. Don’t you feel so roused to do something? I absolutely do.

From an ancient post by Said the Gramophone on this song, a post by Sean Michaels that I still love, adore, etc. etc.:

(TO BE PLAYED SO LOUD SO LOUD SO LOUD, KIDS, and WHILE YOU ARE STANDING UP)

And you say nothing because you don’t know the words to say; and you know that the wrong thing, said, would become a regret; and you wonder who invented the word ‘goodbye’, and whether the first syllable is a lie or a kindness; and you think that if you had hours and a pen, perhaps you would be able to find the right thing to say; and perhaps you would not; but you do not have a pen, or hours, just yr lips and someone else’s; and a kiss is too quiet to speak with; or I don’t know, maybe it’s just right; and you want to say a dozen things, all of them like bridges, stone and iron, and wood, things that you can leave behind & intact; and you want to say a dozen things, all of them like breaths on a cold night, misting & then gone; and you want to tear off your tie; and you want to throw your shoes at something; and you want to be on a street of pinkpetaled trees, singing, voice a-resoundin’, a song of carefree la and these days’ easy joy; because they were such an easy joy; and so full-feeling, her face; and so often hidden, her face; and you, dodging wry; and skipping stones; and lines on hands; and then; and then goodbye; and

Bracing myself for 2011. Let’s hope it’ll be more miraculous than 2010 was. :)

This is gonna be my official new year song.

The Mountain Goats - This Year

I am going to make it through this year if it kills me.

That line shall be my new mantra. Theme song for now.
