boulder, CO (april 2014) |
where pleasure moments hung before the takeover,
the sweeping insensitivity of this still life"
i first listened to today's SOD (song of the day), "hide and seek", about 4 years ago when a snippet of it was co-opted into a radio r+b hit by meh singer jason derulo ("whatcha say"). back in 2010, it didn't make much of an impression, but recently i revisited the original version and haven't been able to stop listening to it since. somehow, hearing it at this point in my life, its lyrics and melody envelop and embed themselves in the fibers in my heart muscle in a way that makes me glad to be alive to experience this music. if someone can create something this beautiful out of hurt, surely there must be more beauty ahead for all of us.
