Song of the Day: Sunday Morning Yellow Sky


Sunday Morning Yellow Sky by October Project

When the darkness falls like a curtain
And the night ahead is a long and uncertain dream
Beyond the loss and the hope of redemption

At the broken heart of the city
Where the hollow light of day never reaches in
A man can break down and fall into pieces
He will fall asleep like a baby
And the unforgiving arms of the cradle
Rock as hard as the face of the city pavement
Hide your eyes
Hide your eyes

He can see the face of a lover
In the lonely face of the angel above him
Carved into the stone that is changing around him
He can feel her breathing inside him
And the unforgiving visions deny him
Life can only be what a man can make it
Hide your eyes
Hide your eyes

Sunday morning
Yellow sky
The sun is floating diamond high
Hours passing
A baby cries
In the arms of someone you imagine
Close your eyes
This is your lullaby
Close your eyes
This is your lullaby

He can feel his skin like a prison
Like a dying cage he struggles to live inside
He tries to call out but nobody hears him
At the ragged edge of the silence
In the calm that only comes with the violent sleep
Inside the heart and the hope of redemption
Hide your eyes
Hide your eyes

In the heart of someone you imagine
Close your eyes
This is your lullaby
Close your eyes
This is your lullaby

Down, down, down
Would the fall never come to an end?
Wonder how many miles I’ve fallen
Must be somewhere near the centre of the earth
How funny it will seem to come out among the people
Who walk with their heads downwards
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
Would the fall never come to an end?

New Look for the Virushead Blog


I’ve been meme-challenged by Lord Matt to make improvements to the blog. Thanks – I needed the push. The mention was nice of you, too.

I have been using a customized version of Sea Beast for a while now. I had a few little issues with column spacing and other details that were becoming a bit tiresome. I might have kept it even so, except that in the fall I just don’t resonate with the ethereal watery kind of space that the theme invoked for me. The light greens and blues were starting to feel like they were washing me away. Yeah, I can be overly sensitive to aesthetics (grin).

VirusHead SeaBeast

The energy boost of my recent New England trip was so powerful that I was drawn to more fiery, earthy kinds of design. This theme has a more “grounded” look to me. It evokes the energy that I prefer for autumn, and will still be cozy in the winter, too.

VirusHead Positive Feeling

Thanks to Roy Tanck for this wonderful Positive Feeling theme – I love it.

There is a new header image, which combines the VirusHead logo with a photo that was taken while I was in Salem.

I’ve also added a plugin (WP-dTree 3.0) for a very cool expanding archive list that shows the beginning of the title for each post. I still don’t like widgets – it’s not really that difficult to adapt the code itself – and it was nice that he gave a cut-and-paste option for those like myself. It works like a dream.

Comment with any suggestions you might have for improvement. I’ll still be tweaking the css a bit as I have time.
