In my head today: Brian Jonestown Massacre - Yeah Yeah

This song, and this version of it, hit me on an emotional level. A lot of BJM music does that. But this one speaks to the part of me that hears that little voice scream in my head. I've searched for a good copy of the full lyrics and I don't find anything I think actually comes close. Maybe some day Anton Newcombe will come out with a book of poetry based on his lyrics. That would be totally cool. I am not kidding - his words are amazing.

Anyway I'd leave it to others to interpret the exact words he's singing in this video - or hey you know Anton could drop by here anytime and clarify them right? (har har) What I hear is the ringing of my own pain in my ears, of all the voices that scream in my head, that feel so scary, that tell me to worry.....

What runs in your head?
