I often find myself attracted to the romantic aspects of astronomy, namely the solidarity you find when, to the backdrop of celestial mysteries, you can embrace someone without the awful arm cramps that come with a mattress. Spiritualized's album Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space , alongside its title track, remind me of the kind of love that I find most interesting: carnal and human, with the lust for experiencing everything with someone else. The title of the album is taken from a line in Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder, a book that analyzes many of the philosophical interpretations of the question "Where do we come from?" Although those are great questions to mull over a mediocre dinner with, thee is something beautiful in the careful observance of the birth of a single moment in time that can't ever be replicated.
Other artists I recommend , alongside their albums, include
My Bloody Valentine-Loveless
Stereolab-Space Age Bachelor Pad Music
Yann Tomita-Doopee Time
Radiohead (my favorite band)-OK Computer or Kid A
I love when the music turns into something more than just words and sounds, its like the artist wrote it just for you. If you like that to look up an artist named Passenger, his music is very pure, rough and honest and his lyrics will keep you thinking even after the song is over.

ReplyDeleteI think sincerity in music is the most important thing. I've heard a few songs from Passenger and Radiohead and I think both depict sincerity in their music. You can tell that they fully believe in what they're singing; its like they laid out their soul for you to hear. I think this is what makes certain bands so great.
