Tom Waits - Cold Cold Ground. I do a countdown of my favourite songs of all time not chronologically and this is the first I put.  

Favourite song #1 

It reminds me of ‘Léolo’ (1992), because it is from this film, which is one of my favourite of all time as well. The delightfully raw voice of Tom Waits is haunting with imagery of the rough side of the street and the lives of others. I’ve always appreciated Tom for his storytelling and his own unique nature. A bona fide presence with a heavy serene quality.

During these hard times in quarantine, I believe it is my day 21... there is nothing else I’d rather do than watch and listen to a 1988 Björk explaining to me how a TV works, ironically it feels so eerily poetic in some kind of ways. Great way to procrastinate.

Note on the side, I always loved her look. Not only is she one of my favourite singer of all time, but a style icon of mine just as well.

The Wild Boys (’Les Garçons Sauvages’ de/of Bertrand Mendico) first feature film. A dream-like experimental film for an equally dream-like experimental score resembling the sound of ‘The Stranglers’ (80s band) as would my mother often admit to me. A breath of fresh air, this brutally underrated avant-garde piece of art should be ringing inside your ears to remind you of how wonderfully complex we are as human beings.

Cocteau Twins’ lily dancer taken by Dr. Bohumil Kröhn in the (British monthly magazine of humour, short stories, photographs and the arts, founded in 1937)  

It is akin the majestical beauty of serpentine dance (mid-1890s to 1900s)

As a woman I have no country. As a woman my country is the whole world.
