songs to listen to when driving through cities



One of the greatest joys of driving through the cities is seeing all the lights and the fast motion of changing landscapes. It can be your hometown, it can be a huge metropolis – every city has its allure when seen from outside the window, when dream-like and distant. This occaison needs a soundtrack and here is one.  

The Jesus & Mary Chain ‘Just Like Honey’



Cocteau Twins ‘Love’s Easy Tears’



Kevin Shields ‘Outro’



Galaxie 500 ‘Listen The Snow is Falling’


Neko Case ‘In California’


Burce Springsteen ‘Dream Baby Dream’

remember where you come from and it will save your life


When I see a change coming, a landscape in transition, an aspiration obliterating my mind, I forget that the only things I should ever possess need to be true of me.

I want things I am shown. I constantly compare, not materially, but subjectively – the value of my life.  What do I want, why do I want it. Where do I come from, what do I have. Could I have it if my life has been otherwise. I have so much. I have my own memory, my visions and things I’ve seen and the person next to me on this crazy train has its own. It is beautiful to perceive the life through my  clouded mind, it’s been given to me for something and it’s special, so great.  I have the sensibility of a kid and a love for things grey, that’s what I’ve seen in the place I come from. It’s not a conformism to seek similarities when you come into adult reality. Life is here, I am life.

Man’s a never-finished form as Hesse claimed. He was so right.

but what if even love cannot drag you out of loneliness


There is a man and a woman, there is a relationship. She is a fleeting creature, constantly wavering and transforming, but she’s also the only certainty of his life. He is sentimental, aspiring, writing a book that never turns out to be more than a magnet of his own sorrows, which deepens the frustration. He leaves her and then he comes back.


The Battle of Toulouse by French Jose Cabanis is a novel of many thoughts. Where do we get love from? It is in endless trips around the coast, summer noons and talking without the purpose of being smart. It can be found in a person, a being that seeks same assertion, a non-verbal communicate ‘you’re sitting next to me and that’s so cool and important that I don’t need to say it’. This is a story of people who never fully unveil themselves in front of each other, because it is always that we are unwilling to expose all secrets of heart. But if we don’t, even love cannot drag you out of loneliness.
