When you look out on the Midwest plain Do you realize the moon is still the same?

Lollapalooza Edition
Artist- Maps & Atlases
Song of the day- Israeli Caves

My sister once told me I looked exactly like the lead singer of today's band. Though I wished to argue, I realized we had the same wavy hair minus my lack of a long scraggly beard and we may or may not have been wearing the exact same pair of maroon corduroy pants at the time. Though I tend to enjoy comparisons to other musicians, namely female, I do feel like their sound is right up my alley. And pairing it with an adorable little boy working out in a head band and well I'm sold! It reminds me of one of my friend's desire in having a child just so she can dress them up in old man clothes, which might be a strange reason for having a kid but I must admit it makes my heart giggle inside. I enjoy the quirky light hearted ideas this song pulls out. It paints a magical jolly picture of the world without taking it too seriously. So if you're in need of a jolly good time or a kid wearing a ninja outfit, this one's for you.



Where whose trees finally sigh
And all the rain has covered
Where I was pierced slowly by
The happy humming all the more

When you look out on the Midwest plain
Do you realize the moon is still the same?
That rose above Israeli caves
The day the words you praised were written

When you look out on the Midwest plain
Do you realize the moon is still the same?
That rose above Israeli caves
The day the words you praised were written

And the moon stood stock still
Under the Joshua tree
And we all stood stock still
Just waiting to see

And the moon stood stock still
Under the Joshua tree
And we all stood stock still
Just waiting to see
Oh, we were just waiting to see it

Where whose trees finally sigh
And the moon sets down highly covered
An iceberg skin disguise
All brooding brooks lie

When you look out on the Midwest plain
Do you realize the moon is still the same?
That rose above Israeli caves
The day the words you praised were written
(x4)
