I Wanna See Movies of My Dreams

Built to Spill - Car

This song unfolds perfectly. It starts quiet and contemplative. Doug Martsch stresses over logistics of his impending voyage with...someone.

I need a car, you need a guide who needs a map/if I don't die or worse I'm gonna need a nap

Then, as they drive away, everything just opens up, and the song becomes a sprawling two minute epic. His mind wanders, as minds are wont to do on 15 hour car rides, and he muses on how he wants to see "movies of [his] dreams." Who wouldn't?

Speaking of which, everybody seems to be talking and raving over The Science of Sleep, the new Michel Gondry film. Unfortunately I live in a cultural vacuum and it doesn't seem to be playing anywhere in a 25-mile radius. Ugh.

There are approximately 70 movie screens that I can think of within five miles of my house, and they probably show about 15 movies between them.
