nicely said, and our greens are aligned musically, finally. i did wonder though, why tanz der tuefel instead of hummel?
sometimes, just because one track might be listened to more doesn't mean that the other shouldn't have a chance...i like to leave it on repeat and get inside (and besides...see the previous post)...
Those artists who do not reinvent themselves are doomed to eternally play Vegas.
I mean that literally as well as metaphorically.
Artists, musicians, actionists must continue to move at the speed of atoms across the universe, always in motion. Even when a log in the forest is dead and decaying it is changing, reinventing itself as a host for other organisms. Wouldn't it be nice if artists were as generous.
yes. life is like that. full of movement. and even when things seem still, maybe it's just because everything else around is travelling with the same velocity? thanks for your comment, tomas. always grounding.
