personally relevant songs of the day

“There is no…voice which is not an object of desire—or of repulsion: there is no neutral voice—and if sometimes that neutrality, that whiteness of the voice occurs, it terrifies us, as if we were to discover a frozen world, one in which desire was dead. Every relation to a voice is necessarily erotic.” -- Roland Barthes in Music, Voice, Language

Have not been putting songs on here in a minute. Want to start doing it again as a practice of marking my time, crate digging, etc. etc. 

E and I went to see Tim Bernardes play, and it was one of those shows where I became absolutely obsessed after. And that hasn’t happened in ages. This song is so light and earnest. Dreamy. 

Everything around has confirmed me baby Tudo em volta tem me confirmado, bebê that me and you Que eu e você we are soul thing Somos coisa de alma

I’ve been having a huge Judee Sill moment this week. And her stage patter on this album is so unmatched, I wish she was my best friend. She quips: “I really wrote this for an old boyfriend, who had a lot of passion in his dishonesty.”

She also sings a harpsichord solo which is so Bach-ian that how could you not love and miss such a talent?
