Restless (2011)

Director: Gus Van Sant

The story of a terminally ill teenage girl who falls for a boy who likes to attend funerals and their encounters with the ghost of a Japanese kamikaze pilot from WWII.

Music of the day: Old Pine

To break the habit for old songs I present you this time, for the category “Music of the day”, one song released last year by Ben Howard.

The video is worth seeing, and the entire album is easy going as well as fun to listen to ;)

Old Pine – Ben Howard

(2011– from the Album “Every Kingdom”)

Oh hot sand on toes cold sand in sleeping bags
I come to know that memories
Were the best things you ever had
The summer shorn be down on bone and backs
so far from home where the ocean stood down dust and pine cone tracks

We slept like dogs down by the fire side
I walked to the fall where all around us the boom of summer time

We stood steady as the stars in the woods
So happy hearted in the warmth
Rang true inside these bones
As the old pine fell we sang
Just to bless the morning

Oh hot sand on toes cold sand in sleeping bags
I come to know the friends around you are all you’ll always have
Smoke in my lungs oh the echoed stone careless and young, free as the birds that fly
With the weightless souls

We stood steady as the stars in the woods
So happy hearted in the warmth
Rang true inside these bones
We stood steady as the stars in the woods
So happy hearted in the warmth
Rang true inside these bones
As the old pine fell we sang
Just to bless the morning

We grow, grow, steady as the morning
We grow, grow, older still
We grow, grow, happy as a new dawn
We grow, grow, older still
We grow, grow, steady as the flowers
We grow, grow, older still
We grow, grow, happy as a new dawn
We grow, grow, older still

Being a Human Being

“The human being stands as the only being that exists with the awareness of its own existence. Human beings live all phenomena, life cycles and realities that constitute their existence on planet earth intuitively while testing them through consciousness. Against its awareness of its end the human being is a creature devoted to life.”

Music of the day: Lotus Flower

Lotus Flower – Radiohead

^{(2011 – from the Album “The King of Limbs”)}

I will shape myself into your pocket

Invisible

Do what you want

Do what you want

I will shrink and I will disappear

I will slip into the groove and cut me off

And cut me off

There’s an empty space inside my heart

Where the weeds take root

And now I’ll set you free

I’ll set you free

There’s an empty space inside my heart

Where the weeds take root

So now I’ll set you free

I’ll set you free

Slowly we unfurl

As lotus flowers

‘Cos all I want is the moon upon a stick

Just to see what if

Just to see what is

I can’t kick your habit

Just to fill your fast ballooning head

Listen to your heart

We will shrink and we’ll be quiet as mice

And while the cat is away

Do what we want

Do what we want

There’s an empty space inside my heart

Where the weeds take root

So now I’ll set you free

I’ll set you free

‘Cos all I want is the moon upon a stick

Just to see what if

Just to see what is

The bird lights float into my room

Slowly we unfurl

As lotus flowers

‘Cos all I want is the moon upon a stick

I dance around the pit

The darkness is beneath

I can’t kick your habit

Just to feed your fast ballooning head

Listen to your heart
