"...I've gone to ground..."
It's about 3:45am in sweltering heat and humidity. I'm busy not only fighting off an army of mosquitoes, but also the itchy mosquito bites that further add to the difficulty of sleeping. I suppose the hope of getting much (if any) rest tonight doesn't look too good.
Luckily I've got music to help me and I'm turning to the softer tones of Zero 7's "Destiny" off of their Simple Things album for some late night T.L.C. (in the context of tender loving care, not so much T.L.C. the music group, at least not at this point).
Zero 7's chill electronic notes and ambient sound keep the waking world off edge and my sanity at a calm collected bay, which helps considerably when knowing this is going to be a long night. Zero 7 has a way of softening the harshness of reality in similar ways to Doves, in their song "Firesuite" from their Lost Souls album. Both "Destiny" and "Firesuite" can also be found off of the Blue Crush Soundtrack, which was what first caught my eye with both artists. As far as soundtracks go, Blue Crush was one of the first to give me a good eye opener to the electronic chill genre of music. That I am eternally grateful for!
Getting lost in, the lovely Aussie feat. artist of Zero 7, Sia Fuller's dreamy tones of "Destiny" turns me to her first debut album Color the Small One. When I first came across Color the Small One, Sia's fanciful sounds caught me in a hypnotic lull, taking me through my own recesses of my mind, heart and soul. With her Color the Small One album, I could feel the awareness of my own life and its events shift and change with each passing moment. I choose to go deep with this album, and deep it took me. From sorrowful sounds, to hopeful wishes and lost in love moments, I experienced it all. Color the Small One is slow and bittersweet to me, which at the time of discovery was exactly what I was needing to reflect where I was at in my life.
It's certainly come in handy, considering the current circumstances.
The last time I had a rocky night my friend and I were stuck on a hotel balcony locked out for hours into the night. I wonder what the sound for that experience would have been...?
At least I've got music for this one...
the sound of love,
Attie
