AFI - Girl’s Not Grey
Still going through the old iPod and came across this gem. This was one of my favorite alt rock songs in college but its been hard to keep up since moving to Miami because…alas…there aren’t very many good alt rock radio stations in Miami. When I used to go back home to LA semiregularly (before getting a full time job), I would I would get my fix for the year within a week or two. I’d listen to the radio all day every day and pick up a few cds of new bands that sounded promising (Hoobastank, Hot Hot Heat, Jimmy Eat World anybody?).
There was a fantastic radio station out of San Diego that I could pick up on clear nights at home where I also picked up a lot of great bands. I wonder if they’re web-streaming by now? If so, you guys will be in for a lot more of this.
Enjoy!

AFI - Girl’s Not Grey
I’ll lay me down tonight
Much further down
Swim in the calm tonight
This art does drown
(What follows) me as the whitest lace of light
(Will swallow whole) just begs to be imbrued?
(What follows) has led me to this place
where I belong, with all erased
What follows
All insects sing tonight
The coldest sound
I’d send God’s grace tonight
Could it be found?
(What follows) me as the whitest lace of light
(Will swallow whole) just begs to be imbrued?
(What follows) has led me to this place
where I belong, with all erased
I’ll lay me down tonight
Much further down
Watch stars go out tonight
On sinking ground
I’ll lay me down, I’ll lay me down
(What follows) me as the whitest lace of light
(Will swallow whole) just begs to be imbrued?
(What follows) has led me to this place
where I belong, with all erased
What follows will swallow whole
What follows will swallow whole
