superobstinateness

8/27/2015

you faded fish
so hungry for saltwater
as though you might starve.

so you lap up waves of air
gulp them down into your belly
& pretend to be full.

then you wait for the whale
to open up its darkness
and let you inside.

& in its stomach you might find
peace, or at least other fish
swimming deep in an early grave

a sigh translates into anything you want it to be.
oh, the safety of ambiguity
in a breath that seeks tranquility
during volatile times.
i could send a hundred sighs
and no one would know it but me,
questions encapsulated by air
fed to the earth
so they can dissipate into space
and maybe come back in the form of an answer
so greatly desired

SoKo!!

One thing I love about music is that it waits for you till you're ready to find it. This chick has been around for awhile but I just discovered her last night in a random stroll down Youtube lane.

Her music is infectious and effortlessly energetic, yet it affects me the same way a slow song might on a secret track. As of last night, I am a big fan of SoKo and can easily see her becoming one of my influences.

So I found an episode of What's in My Bag? featuring SoKo in some record store in L.A. After watching this, I love her even more because we share similar tastes. When she pulled out a copy of Slowdive's Souvlaki, I nearly wet myself--especially when she said it's the kind of music she likes to slowly wake up to. "Altogether" is my alarm song--my first alarm song--that I'll lay and listen to in a sleepy haze. It's gentle and makes the morning not so unbearable, especially when I'd rather sleep. And when I do, I hit the snooze button until my second alarm, "Round and Round" by Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti, comes on with a tad more urgency like it's saying, "OK Tara, stop fucking around and get up."

Anyway, here's a song of hers along with that episode. Enjoy x
