Description:
shamelessly cashing in on the MJ success of "Blue Genes" here is "Tailights eyes". It's a short one, but it had to be a bit like a snapshot.

Lyrics:
Picture I made
in a party
You turn your head
To look at me


From the flashlight
your eyes are red
they’re like taillights
passing me by
swiftly
flashing
goodbye
to me

Brentford's guitar has a "crying" tone that called for a melancholy ditty.

Great guitar work &mdash 05/30/07 - 04:43:26 AM
Bet you like the Pixies. Good bass work(was it real?)
Short, hell, just double it and you've got a complete song.
GOOOOOOOOOOD!

We do &mdash 05/30/07 - 04:59:32 AM
like the Pixies, indeed. Neither bass or guitar are "real", but it's a good thing you have to ask the question to make sure.Thanks a lot for stopping by.

I like it. &mdash 06/19/07 - 12:27:46 PM
I like picture postcard type songs. And for this content it's appropriate. I think it's very clever. The sound is pretty.

I don't know if this is an American thing, but flashlight does not mean camera flash to me, but, you know, the handheld battery lights you use during blackout and while camping. I think "from the flash" would work well as a line, in my opinion.

thanks &mdash 06/20/07 - 02:08:32 AM
for listening and for the translation tip. I think I needed the word light to echo "taillights" but of course the ambiguity or mistake is a bit troublesome. Is the blank space between flash and light crucial ?

I mean &mdash 06/20/07 - 02:10:10 AM
would putting a blank space between flash and light settle the matter or alleviate the ambiguity ?
