4 years ago today, Keith the Kosmik Kow, someone I deeply loved, went missing. It is the anniversary of his suicide today. Theres not a week that goes by I dont have him cross my mind. I still miss him and would have done anything to have helped him. I knew how wonderful my husband was when he pulled an all-nighter with me and astronomy club friends to go look for Kow when he was reported missing and was supportive of me emotionally as I cried every night for weeks and was interviewed by police twice. Sonny and I gave the entire Snow Patrol discog to Kow as well as all our tracks to date just weeks before he left the planet. We shared many 2ams at IHOPs with Doc and the other Stooges. Kow was dear to us both, but precious and sacred to me and Sonny understood and respected that. Snow Patrol- Dark Roman Wine- I will hang on the hook of your splendor As the night rolls us up in its arms And the square of your thumbs and your fingers Is the blanket of the sky thats so warm I know its late but I cant help but think here That the day hasnt shown all its cards Now its out to the stars of the ocean Lets not retrace our steps to the car Picking out all the stars that we like Between finger and thumb You laugh as you pass me the night As if its too fragile to hold And I hold it so close to my chest With your hands in my hands You say this is just how well rest Until light turns to sound Now your eyelids they faint and they shiver Like the wings of the last bird to leave For the south for the heat for no reason I watch as they fly for sheer joy The wind shakes the branches above us And the car shaved the ground at our backs But the dark roman wine in our bloodstreams Makes the cold just a word, just a sound Picking out all the stars that we like Between finger and thumb You laugh as you pass me the night As if its too fragile to hold And I hold it so close to my chest With your hands in my hands You say this is just how well rest Until the light turns to sound
