The warm feels of a cold season, in temporary hibernation nests.
Sigur Rós - Gong
Yes, Sigur Rós still does it to me. The other day I had one of those magical music experiences that make everything else fade away. Having just listened to a beautiful episode of Radiolab that had already put me in a wondrous and emotional mood, I was walking through St. James's Park in the dark, now with Takk... in my headphones, and it just filled me to the brim. I got tears in my eyes and a large grin on my face and felt strongly I wanted go on living forever and ever.
Cat Power - The Greatest
Another blast from the past. That string intro almost made me cry the other night when it caught me off guard on random iTunes.Once I wanted to be the greatest
No wind or waterfall could stall me
And then came the rush of the flood
Stars at night turned deep to dust
Sufjan Stevens - Sleeping Bear, Sault Saint Marie
A third blast from the past. A voice of comfort for dark mornings on the bus to work. I slumber against the window pane and dream hazy dreams about the abandoned village on the shores of Lake Michigan.
Tim Buckley - Sweet Surrender
Definitely not my favourite Tim Buckley album, but when he starts playing with his voice and that string riff towards the end... there's no denying that, is there?
Sentieri Selvaggi - Child: Child: IV. Sweet Air
A gorgeous lullabyesque tune discovered on Björk's lovely The Cover mix.
I still haven't gotten my copy of Utopia!! Gah! Can't wait!! But I will wait! No listen until I can hold it in my hands. That's always been the tradition when the genius has a new release, and I'm not going to break it.
