I’m really in the mood for thinking of someone. Yes, this blogger has a “heart” after all.
Reviewing:
1.) Coldplay - Sparks
2.) Damien Rice - The Blower’s daughter
3.) Blur - Out of time
4.) Julie Delpy - Ocean apart
5.) Broken Social Scene - Lover’s spit

If you’re ready for this, kids, my music reflects a lot about my “emotional ressonances”. A friend of mine argues that emoting over music is redundant because music is already feeling. The way I see it, it’s hard to deliniate the two, but we ought to realize that a song cannot be a song without the meaning or sentiments that a person can attach to it. So this entails that a person is separate from the song and whatever was meant by either is something that’s unique from each other. In the end, the meanings might converge. Feelings are never redundant, they’re more often than not, refreshed in us through songs. It makes more sense that way.
Does it?
Currently reading Germain Greer’s Sex and Destiny. Western context though, but Greer pulls it off with her wit and superb analysis.
