“I love the way you talk. Like spreading plaster, nice and smooth.”

What took me so long to finally read Norwegian Wood? 

Good grief. I can’t believe I’ve been missing out on such good shit.

On Shadows.

The length of one’s shadow vary according to the time of the day. Assuming you’re out in the open of course. Chances are, you won’t be able to see/be aware of your own shadow unless you look behind. So depending on when you look behind, you’ll probably get a variety of shadow lengths. 

And we all know that shadows follow us wherever we go. Always.

When you look back during a sunny time, when all is bright and good, your shadow is minimal and negligible. And conversely, when you look back when the sun is seemingly no longer shining, on a cloudy and dark day, your shadow lengthens and grows to perhaps double your height; overshadowing you. 

So when was the last time you looked back?

It’s your little red wagon, and you’ve got to pull it.

Jenny Lewis, is simply genius.

Anyways, in other news, I’m feeling warm and I’m not sure if it’s the weather.

Yawn. So schleepy. Goodnight world!

NEWSFLASH!

GASP. Transatlanticism is being used for some Channel 5 drama/show trailer! Very fittingly used too, might I add. It’s about Singaporeans living abroad; how they’re coping and stuff like that. 

So it seems like Free-To-Air television has some merits after all. Even though the song was featured for like a few seconds right at the end and there were only about five, measured, slow piano chords before it ended (prematurely, in my humble opinion). But that’s all we need to identify Transatlanticism, don’t we?

Okthxbye.

Turning A Square.

It feels really good to trawl the depths of the net for audio gems again. It’s been such a long time. Totally getting all hyped up by all the new and exciting melodious stuff I’m sampling now y’all. 

Anyways, I came across this bit whilst trawling - 

           A long time ago a man I loved told me that love is just like music: there has to be tension, suspense, something at stake. There has to be dissonance in order for there to be resolution. And the resolution is what music is all about; that’s what moves us. And so it is with love. Maybe that’s why music seems so infinitely suited for the love we make, take, and break, over and over again.

When I read that, I immediately thought of Sufjan Stevens. I reckon he makes some of the most Resolute music around despite the oft-melancholic themes. 

And with that, I bid thee adieu.
