Everyone likes to "read a novel" and especially one authored by an artist on form. It proves a flight-like journey, taking place at day break with Mr. Bashi at the helm all while the "new day" dawns upon the Earth.

I'm finishing a new novel this year, so why not listen to a song that's about (in part) writing a novel?
Plus: crazy cool arrangement, strange and engaging sonic landscape.

lyrics
I wrote me a book
I hid the last page
I didn't even look
I think I locked it in a cage
wrote a novel
'cause everybody likes to read a novel...
it started with a word,
and it started pretty well
about a rare and fragile bird
that I couldn't even spell
...on the table...
I think I left it on the table...
I found the last page in the sky,
cold and sweet like an apple
I found you and now the story has it's proper end
(the end, the end what then?)
oh hello,
will you be mine?
I haven't felt this alive in a long time
all the streets are warm today, hey
I read signs
I haven't been this in love in a long time
the sun is up, the sun will stay all for the new day
The very last breath of the hero of our tale
would you only to guess
did he truly prevail in the the sequel?
I guess I'll have to write a sequel...
my favorite part's when I die
in your arms like a movie (in the ending I...)
it's tragic, but now the story has it's proper end.
oh hello,
will you be mine?
I haven't felt this alive in a long time
all the streets are warm and grey, hey
I read the signs...
I haven't been this in love in a long time
the sun is up the sun will stay
all for the new day
will you be mine? (will you be mine?)
the days are short and I wrote me my last rhyme
all the streets are warm today
I read the signs (stop!)
I haven't been in this love in a long time.
