"By the window up in the bedroom

I can hear the storm come"

"We sang forever young/ We had our fingers crossed"

"Wake up and smell the flowers"

"You've lost control/ Lost control/ You've never seen brighter days"

I'm listening to so-called "Icelandic Indie music" again. There are many playlists on Youtube, 

for example this one.

MILKYWHALE

Best music video in a while! I saw them live at Iceland Airwaves in November. Milkywhale. Remember that name.

The scanner has problems with white balance; everything fades. 

On sunday I found some real treasures abandoned on the streets of my neighbourhood: old sewing items, tennis rackets, a hiking backpack and a little package full of envelopes with a hand-written note: "Stamps, partly valuable". People around here love bulk waste. Lucky me.

For all we know

And all the world is green
We can bring back the old days again
And all the world is green

(Camille O'Sullivan)

On me dit que nos vies ne valent pas grand chose 

Qu'elles passent en un instant comme fânent les roses 

On me dit que le temps qui glisse est un salaud 

Et que de nos chagrins il s'en fait des manteaux
(Carla Bruni)

"Oh how the hills were laughing

How the creeks they cried

How the grass would cheer on

As we passed them by"

"Oh, what a day"

"it was swift/ it was just another wave of a miracle"

it's time for spring now

i want to go to iceland

watch, listen

Es passieren immer wieder Dinge, von deren immenser Einschlagskraft man bisher nichts geahnt hatte: sing me a sad song, cause that's what I wanna hear!

Es befindet sich mal wieder alles an der Schwelle zur Resignation. Bitte nicht.
Und wenn jetzt Sommer wär, wärs wahrscheinlich viel zu warm und auch nicht groß anders.

winter is blue

Agnes obel makes such captivating music.
