Too Drunk to Dream.mp3

I wouldn’t want to lead you into thinking that being cautious with your dreams (not all in one basket) is the only road for daydreaming because there are certainly other options. I mean, you could always get Too Drunk to Dream.mp3 (the Magnetic Fields come through again with another off their forthcoming Distortion), which is a choice with a certain amount of guaranteed (grim) success involved.

But I suppose one must admit that continually getting too drunk to dream might be a rather cumbersome life choice. Luckily, as long you don’t fall too in love with the wisdom in that bottle, there are still other options. You could always say to yourself, “I’ll Dream Alone.mp3,” like Mr. Merritt does a bit later on the new album — though the timber of his voice at the close of the song suggests he could still use some convincing of the soundness of his choice. Still, there is much to be said for the attempt: it’s sometimes rather hard to dream alone, which, if you’re reasoning has a circular tendency to it (and that might mean everyone), means you’ll likely be headed back the first notion of simply ditching your dreams for drinks. At least there’s a catchy tune you can sing along with — And I’ll sing the harmony parts for you, if you’re looking.
