A humid night
filled with magic and marijuana
laced pumpkin pie
Capped off with kids
singing Richard and Mimi Farina
on the back porch, alone
An acoustic guitar,
dreadlocks and harmony
found in the sticky air
Electric girl,
Pack Up Your Sorrows
and give them all to me
Put your circuits in the sea,
do what you feel now,
and give them all to me

A humid night
filled with magic and marijuana
laced pumpkin pie
Capped off with kids
singing Richard and Mimi Farina
on the back porch, alone
An acoustic guitar,
dreadlocks and harmony
found in the sticky air
Electric girl,
Pack Up Your Sorrows
and give them all to me
Put your circuits in the sea,
do what you feel now,
and give them all to me
Had a good night. As it started to wind down the last few of us went out to the back porch to play guitar and sing together. One of the songs (Electric Feel by MGMT) I recognized, even though it was acoustic. The other (Pack Up Your Sorrows by Richard and Mimi Farina) was something I had never heard before, but instantly fell in love with.
