A few days ago I posted a video of My Morning Jacket performing "Bermuda Highway" at Madison Square Garden. I cannot get that song out of my head. It has the quality of actually making me feel like crying, even when I sing it to myself.
"Don't let your silly dreams fall in between the crack of the bed and the wall."
Wow. The word "silly" here = perfect. This song unlocks a feeling that I had never articulated before, and in a sense, never even knew I was feeling - that I tend to think my dream is silly. That dream, specifically being of finishing Chimneys, is/can be in serious danger of my thinking it's too facile, or silly, or worthless, to finish. Thank you, Jim James.
