I'm lying in the attic at my home I'm bored to the point, God knows why Suddenly I hear gentle owls behind me "U-yuy" - My soul has become more cheerful A-lai-lai-lai, it has become more cheerful

I am going to a friend on the way - a robber I am sad alone in an unfamiliar land Suddenly I hear gentle owls behind me "U-yuy" - My soul has become more cheerful A-lai-lai-lai, it has become more fun

I am hanging on a rope, swinging my legs I would very much like more air Suddenly I hear gentle owls behind me "U-yuy" - My soul has become more cheerful A-lai-lai-lai, it has become more cheerful

I am boiling in a big cauldron at the devil's feast "I don't need to swim", - climbs into my head Suddenly I hear gentle owls behind me "U-yuy" - My soul has become more cheerful A-lai-lai-lai, it has become more cheerful

I am lying in the attic at my house I'm bored to the bone, God knows why Suddenly I hear gentle owls behind me "U-yuy" - "Let's sing together, e-la-la-lay-la-lay, la-lay-lay-lay", - I say to the owl

Les Pires 2022

I watched this movie after a horrible day, torn between this one & a horror movie, but my bathroom light went out and I thought scrambling to piss in the dark after having watched a horror might not be a good idea, especially not in my current emotional state. So I picked this one instead, which was the best choice. Not only was it incredibly beautiful, it was also emotionally healing in a strangely raw way. Any movie with and about children haunts me for days, and this one felt particularly real because I was able to see myself at different ages and in different states in every single one of the kids. It's a movie that had me emotionally connecting with several of my past selves, and the soundtrack soothes a very specific part of my soul. I loved this masterpiece. I feel the need to write in my journal after watching it.
