hey Araki ? will I always be feeling alive ? completely 500% alive feelings like I’m bursting or completely open living with a courage like that never fading out always ’on’
hey Nobuyoshi ? inject me with a ferocious beauty passionately inject it into me with your visual cyringe until all the cells in my body are faint (500 liters of love, lust, and humor) running viciously through my veins
hey Nobuyoshi ? give me a sense of ’perfect’ and rescue me from boredom okay ? come into my heart every one millionth of a second in a ’incompleteness’ that I roll in every day click and connect once more gimme a deep stimulation with one picture only one chance can’t fake it
trap me with your stare, Nobuyoshi and bring me to you with your power and returning to all sorts of senses all that I see-all that I think-all that I hear all that I touch-all that I love all satisfied
I’m ’on’ now (thanks Nobuyoshi)
it’s like posing while I’m still asleep slowly coming out and preparing my breath but that’s when you’re deepest inside me Nobuyoshi you’re swimming inside me you’re submerging into my mechanism touching reviving my soul
change me Araki, change me exploding boredom bursting (you’re such a visual terrorist) truth must be brought out retreating isn’t forgiven absolutely ’completely’ bravo and now, alive, guts.

Dear Mr. Yorke / Thom, please don't continue beyond this sentence if you are busy or otherwise distracted with more pressing matters. You kept reading? Great! Well first for introductions. I'm the guy from Muse and I've listened to all of your albums. King of Limbs wasn't great in my opinion but A Moon Shaped Pool really was a gripping listen. I digress. The reason for my writing you today is to inquire as to whether you could provide for me any advice that you would have given to yourself at a younger age when you were recording your first album and no-doubt dreaming of musical (and other) success? Wow, still haven't introduced myself, huh. Well, here's the slim. I'm 23 years old and I recently graduated from university with a degree in Music compisition. Suffice to say I've struggled to find a job but I have in the time I have been unemployed recorded an album that I am confident will have a major effect on the musical world should it find a record label willing to give it a chance. Here's when you come in, Thom (do you mind me calling you that?). I have discovered your address via legal means online and I am wondering whether you would be willing to receive my album in its entirety, along with the liner notes (I'll even throw in my photo for free!) and first of all give me your feedback on it and then, providing you enjoy it to pass it on to your friends in the recording world (I know how well-connected you folks are) so that I can avoid the dreaded reject pile of doom! Anyways, so let me know asap and I can have the album on your straw 'Welcome' mat by the end of the week. If you'd rather I hand it to you in person and take some time to discuss our respective views on music contemporary and otherwise I would love to visit your house at London (or some other British shithole) and spend a few hours shooting the shit. So let me know John and we can then discuss the next step of our correspondence. Thanking you again and again, the guy from Muse
