"when anastasia smiles the world is getting lighter when anastasia wakes the lights come on inside her and stars will light the path for her tonight and yes, the moon is burning oh so bright anastasia" -Brave Saint Saturn, Anastasia This was always one of my favorite songs by BS2. The music is good, and very tangible. But Reese makes a few nods to "knowing" that Anastasia is special. Here he writes that "Yes, the moon is burning oh so bright", and in another section of the song, he writes that she haunts his dreams at night "underneath the bluest moon". Both are references He uses in other parts of the album. It makes me think about how we decide on people, in good ways and bad. The kinds of things we associate with people. How we remember them. And like that quote by Maya Angelou, we might not always remember what people say, or what people do. But we do remember how they make us feel. And this song certainly contains much of that. I'll have to share some more of Reese's book of poetry, "More than Paperthin", in it, he writes a few (sometimes scathing) reviews of people. Each poem about one person that he knew. A very interesting way to write poetry, I'm surprised He was willing to even share them. But they all were very descriptive about the feeling that these people left with him. How do we make each other feel?
