christmas

This year my christmas spirit is closely connected to this song:

When you wish upon a star

makes no difference who you are

anything your heart desires

could come to you

if your heart is in your dream

no request is too extreme

when you wish upon a star

as dreamers do

weekly recommendations:

* Petter Carlsen   - Pull The Brakes

* Rockettothesky  - A Cute Lovesong Please

* Mahalia Jackson  - Silent Night

    *also desperately looking forward to 'The Crying Light' (Antony & the Johnsons)

fly fly fly...

Someone told me once that things are rarely as scary as they seem... I disagree! In my experience living is scary as hell and a constant choice between being alive or being a living dead...

Then they put the box away and bring it out once in awhile to look in it, and yep, they're still there. These are great dreams, but they never even get out of the box. It takes an uncommon amount of guts to put your dreams on the line, to hold them up and say, 'How good or how bad am I?' That's where courage comes in." 

weekly recommendations:

• Falling of the face of the earth  - Neil Young

precious moments

Writing and recording music is magic. Especially when instruments like this come to use... Like a child one becomes lost in the enthusiasm with almost endless possibilities of sound and effects. There are not many things in life that brings out the child in us.  So I feel lucky and I embrace it...

weekly recommendation:

* Baraka  - great movie for meditation and inspiration

* Another World  - Antony and the Johnsons

the second autumn breeze...

weekly recommendation:

* Its A Dream  - Neil Young

* The Great Gig In The Sky  - Pink Floyd
