Still Corners: The Trip ('13)
"Bless the Lord O my soul and all that is within me...." (Psalm 103.)
Every time I hear this song I am reminded of that bible verse, and it wrecks me...
Headphones my friends are the only way to take this beautiful dream pop journey. This tune has all the ingredients necessary to create a masterpiece. One part luminescent female vocals, one part bittersweet lyrics, and two parts dreamy synthesizer... If ever there was a way into my soul it would be through the synthesizer, it is consistently able to penetrate the walls I so careful build around myself, and leave me shattered into a 100,00 pieces on the floor. But I guess you have to be into that sort thing then don't you. I spend countless hours, seated in the giant tea cup chair in my living room, letting music find it's way into me. Maybe it's because I want to fix what's wrong inside. Maybe it's because, it's the only way I have ever heard myself think, really heard myself think. In the this life my connections with people, are so few and far between, because I learned at a young age everyone dies, and I learned at an older age that you will die too..So, whenever the hurt got to be to much, I'd strap on the headphones, and go to a place where no one ever let me down.... I dunno, maybe I think to much, but I don't know any other way to be..
Well that's about enough of that! (See this song has a tendency to bring this out of me....)
Enjoy....
