It is just one of those days when you get out of the wrong side of bed. You know, those days when everything just does not seem to go your way, and you are sighing more than you should. You wish you could head back home and sleep the day away, wake up with a new day, reset.
While waiting for the hours to pass by, you look for solace in another cigarette you steal from your colleague. Or hide in the washroom stall for a few more minutes, just to cry for a while or to hide away for a while. Or put on your headphones and turn the volume way up, sifting through the many “comfort songs” to feel better again, in hopes they will make you feel better again.
Comforting sounds. Falling rain. Wheels running over wet roads. The setting sun. The breeze. Your lover’s deep bass voice on the other end of the phone, beside you in bed, in your head. Your cries. The turning pages of your favourite book. Blaring silence. The repeats of your favourite song. A consoling voice, an emotional melody, a soothing orchestra.
HERE is a comforting sound.
Be well.

Mew is making their way to Indonesian shores. I really hope someone will bring them to our shores!

Yes, I totally second that, Reta! There’s no way I could fly down to Indonesia in August… Time to bug Soundscape, maybe?
I was just telling my friend the other day about Danish band Mew, and to my surprise I find that there’s an update here as well… Clearly, great minds think alike ;]
