Octopus

If I had a chalkboard, I would write one-hundred times, "I shall not mention music I dislike in my journal". It's an unhealthy habit. Since I don't have a chalkboard, I will have to make amends some other way. To that end, I thought I would mention a song I like tremendously. It's Jonathan Coulton's "Octopus". He released it last week and it is the first original song he has shared since the end of his Thing-a-Week project nine months ago. If you haven't heard it yet, it's a catchy underwater break up song I think you'll enjoy.

I still remember the words you said
They were hard enough to leave a mark
And now they echo inside my head
As I spiral down into the dark
I windmill upside down
Knowing you’ll come at me again
And I feel your shadow pass above me

Octopus, some kind of octopus
Tearing my shell apart
Letting the sea get in
You make my insides outside
