three scenes of loma linda four years ago

as the anniversary of my brother's accident hits four years today (woah, what) i can tell you that stories like this strike no less of a chord & cause no less of a sharp jab of pain. talk about eerie timing. i still can't believe how lucky my family is. i have nothing else to say.

let me look right at the sun

when shadowed buildings grow out of water

long songs i like

most of the time, i'm too impatient to sit through a long (6 minutes+) song. but, every now and then, i stumble on one that is so catchy i can't let go. and even, sometimes--gasp--play it on repeat.

i just found a new one yesterday, which reminded me to think of the others.

here they are:
the past is a grotesque animal - of montreal

(yesterday's find)

the story of yo la tango - yo la tengo


lower your eyelids to die with the sun - m83


love cry - four tet


attack and fall - philip glass

god, i love philip glass.

sometimes i realise (invol2ver remix) - sasha


staying alive - cursive


the mariner's revenge song - the decemberists


so long as we keep our bodies numb we're safe - midtown


oh comely - neutral milk hotel


----

these are the more down-tempo ones. perhaps i'll put together a dancey-long-song list sometime. if you're lucky. enjoy these ones while you're at work (or lazing about) today.

a flower in a bottle

waiting for you.

which one is it

on death and other things

sometimes it can be beautiful. even if it's not of a physical thing. just remind yourself.
