"Sometimes one's life gets so tumultuous that there can be only one remedy. Now and again the small fires and huge train wrecks of being alive all add up to an unquenchable ache. These moments have always found me turning to music. Part of the wonder of music is finding an artist or band that seems to understand your private pains. The particular musical choice has changed through out the years. Elliott Smith's pure loneliness held its place. Belle and Sebastion were and continue to be drops of dew when my mind is fevered with indecision and fear. Many bands have softly chiseled into my head to plant their restful seeds. Early this year the only salve that would soothe was Beach House. Live, Beach House conjure a near-gothic environment; it's impossible to not fixate on the dense emotions of Legrand's laments as their hymns of solitude wash over you." C.
