JK

From Radiohead's Subterranean Homesick Alien 2017:

I wish they'd swoop down in a country lane

late at night while I'm driving.

Take me on board of their beautiful ship

show me the world as I'd love to see it.

When the administration caught wind that she frequently lectured while drone footage was projected behind her of some of the most beautiful spots on the planet, she was dismissed for "subversive grooming" her students to the consequences of climate change.

One of his fondest memories of her final years was sitting on the couch, listening to music by the picture windows, giving her scritches, strokes and rubs and getting loving, tiny rough tongue licks in return.

The agent for an online clothing company ad spoke with such annoyingly languorous vocal fry that one wondered why anyone should bother ordering.

It was a curious experience, listening to music and watching film while a very loud birdsong sonically penetrated the room and adding to the soundtrack. Different days, different species would star.

Like one of those guys who spends half the morning with a plastic coffee stirrer hanging out of his mouth.

Their traditional Arabic music was loud enough to hear while they suppered on the deck. High above, a sky janitor picked up on the sound and began a gentle spiral, slowly decreasing altitude. A yellow finch sitting on one of the high wires above the Back 40 picked up on the jazzy violin and began to sing. Two others flew over and joined in an elaborate tapestry of call and respond.
