It has been over a year that I have written in my blog and though I have been obsessively listening to music (as always) I have stumbled on the song that has brought me back to my own little world. Past events and social suicides has led to bring me back to where I have always belonged; procrastinating on school, youtub-ing like a fiend ,ofcourse munching on whatever comes my way and scribbling on the walls of my rented house (what most people might call vandalism). Since last time I wrote I spent half a year in South Africa where I found what I can only say was speechless. I have gone through an internship that gave me the freedom of zoning out like a true lazy warrior in my own music and I have had my share of crashing light bulbs on top of my head (which led to plenty of energy saving moments).
So, instead of working on my school assignment I decided to revisited this blog and write once more. Just to keep the head afloat, the music alive and the heart kicking.
My song of this week would be from the one and only Bon Iver. The title of this song is " Hinnom" and from my little research this means; deep and narrow valley located west and south of Jerusalem where Jews who worshiped idols burned their children alive as a sacrifice to Moloch and Baal. A place for condemned souls. (Not to get all emo on your ass)
This however, is a mix with The Neon lights from Liverpool, UK. They are a electronic/indie/techno group and the balance between both artist is for me perfect. Justin's Vernon (Bon Iver) voice and the track that has been laid down by the Neon lights is in my head the creation of scattered thoughts and the realization of bourgeois attitudes.
Ok, on to less hardship thoughts and more awesomeness.... My favorite line in the lyrics are;
**All this time, with your heart in mind...didn't you edit? **
Despite he fact tha Bon Iver could either make you clarify your mind, it can also make you want to find a plastic toy gun and punch yourself in the face with his highly depressive state :)... Nonetheless, the combination of both sounds together make a perfect balance of feelings.
Without me rambling once more, I will leave you to it with my song of the week.
