“I have dreams all the time. I have dreams about once a month. [...] Well, they’re usually all the same, but in all of them it’s prior to his [Kurt's] death. He shows up in my dreams, and I’m like holy shit! You’re not dead, and it’s like it was some big secret or some big joke and then you can’t wait to tell everyone. Then you wake up. Within them there’s the same conversations that always happen. In those dreams, he’s never dead; he’s always alive, so I think it’s kind of cool.
I think there’s a whole lot more to the spirit than people can even comprehend. I think there’s more … it’s even too much bravado and egotistical for human beings to think that we’re the end, or that their minds are capable of understanding the universe. It’s not possible. Fuck you for telling me life can’t exist outside planet Earth. How do you know? There’s romance and mystery or the thrill of the chase, whatever. I’m not willing to make up my mind yet.”
-Dave Grohl, Flaunt Magazine, Nov 2002
Star Machine
Giants in the Trees
If you see it coming
When you feel divine
Did you see it coming
I hope you recognize
And I know we've been worlds apart
Can you find your way through the dark
And it's crossed my mind that
You'll never wanna see my face again
Here comes the part
Can you hear the heart
Star machine
I feel it coming down
I remember how it felt when I put you down
And I know you'll be back for me someday
And I know we've been worlds apart
Can you find your way through the dark
And it's crossed my mind that
You'll never wanna see my face again
Here comes the part
Can you hear the heart
Star machine
I feel it coming down
Yes, I've been walking down this road
Yes, I've been walking down this road
Yes, I've been walking down this road
For miles and miles and miles
The in-Between
Giants in the Trees
Dream dream dream dream
Dream dream
Am I still asleep?
Nothing is real here, is it?
The touch of a flower petal
The scent of your skin on my life
Looking for love that makes me forget
I'm blind
'Cause we're all right
So hold me close
Hold me tight
'Cause I'm stuck in the in-between
I'm nothing and everything
And the only thing that gets me through
Knowing that you see me the way I see you
Dream dream dream dream
Dream dream
Am I still asleep?
Inside the dreaming tree
You meet me there just when I'm all alone
Call your name and wait
And how will you save me save me
When I am blind?
We'll be all right
So hold me close
Hold me tight
'Cause I'm stuck in the in-between
I'm nothing and everything
And the only thing that gets me through
Knowing that you'll see me the way I see you
Are you gonna wait til I die?
To take, to take and breathe
To live for the sign
Are you gonna wait, wait til I die?
Yeah
All right
Will you come, too? [When I come to you]
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
'Cause inside the dreaming tree
You'll meet me there just when I'm all alone
Calling your name in me
And how will you save me save me
When I am blind?
We'll be all right
It's knowing that you see me
Knowing that you'll see me the way I see you

Feel You Now
Giants in the Trees
One more time [Long, long time]
In our [Made of] time and space
Far away, [For always] not inside
Is when my thoughts and my memories
Fly
And baby I can feel you now
And baby I can feel you now
I knew we'd get through somehow
And baby I can feel you now
In the place of the in-between
Futures dance in my tense eyes [archivist: cryingforeverplz.gif]
We said we'd show the world, they'll see
Tonight
And baby I can feel you now
And baby I can feel you now
I knew we'd get through somehow
And baby I can feel you
Ahhhh!
It's all I can say now
And the connection, connection
The only direction
Now
And baby I can feel you now
And baby I can feel you now
I knew we'd get through somehow
And baby I can feel you
And baby I can feel you now
Archivist's Notes: The vocals have heavy effects and are hard to understand in the first verse, so suggested corrections are more than welcome! I loaded this into Audacity and isolated the vocals, used vocalremover.org, and compared with another fan's transcription, so I'm pretty confident about the rest of the song.
