strange shadows from the flames will grow

The basement is a place were all the junk is stored,
where bike chains are cleaned, brake pads replaced
& derailleurs adjusted. It's also a place where my
old stereo system holds forth---a 5 disc changer & receiver
that dates back to the mid-90s. I also have a ton of old cds
down there; as I looked through them, I realized there
wasn't a single pop album, except, maybe, all the old
Pavement albums (one of the best bands ever?).
It was all jazz (Miles in the Sky!! miles) or Grateful Dead, or Phish,
or something similar.

Nonetheless, I got a real kick out of listening to Terrapin Station.
I can't help it, love that song.

"some rise, some fall, some climb, to get to terrapin."

Whatever that means, but it comes at such an epic point in
the song, you can't help but be moved by it.
