listen, for reals, i've found so many different reasons and contexts in SLAP to bring the Cocteau Twins up, and even a few times now for this particular song and clip, but fuck it y'all...dear god thank-you for this on this sunny ass Sunday afternoon...
copy that notmike...i'm actually pretty old (about to be 50) and have been listening long enough to where i've explored all of the eras and albums...which is actually why i've been tripping on some later songs lately off of
Heaven of Las Vegas.
but with regards to this specific video where someone edited it to this train ride, in emails to colleagues and friends and family the past couple of months, i've been including it as a ps: "good riddance 2020"...this feels like "good riddance" to 2020 to me--the song feels like the blurry sad/melancholy/glad mood(s) like we just sat down and are trying to get comfortable on this manic train as we move out of the station and away from this past year of struggle, frustration, and loss...
to Uh Oh, i keep some instruments within arms-reach in my office/bunker to fleetingly get my mind out of work and research when it's needed, but i'm not a "musician" in any serious or formal sense--just some banging and strumming from time to time when something needs to get out...
