Oasis.
Hideout.
Secret garden.
Private space.
Center of your head.
Retreat.
Vacation.
Quiet location.
Calm center.
Your body.
Your temple.
Your internal landscape.
Your own personal space.
Silence.
Your heart beating.
Your breath
flowing
in
and
out
with no effort.
Sit back and enjoy the show...
The a.m soundtrack - "Requiem for a Dream" (soundtrack) - (2000). Composed by Clint Mansell. Peformed by the Kronos Quartet. Powerful. Overwhelming. Disorienting. Edgy. The soundtrack for the film by Darren Aronofsky, based on the novel by Hubert Selby Jr. The movie is a bit of a slog. Lots of pain & suffering. A tragic story about human beings living tragically. It's also about addiction: addiction to sex, food, drugs, depression, ignorance, self-sabotage, incessant suffering, TV, false hope, & pipe-dreams. Etc. You name it. So human. The soundtrack is moody, gorgeous, ominous, head-turning. Perfect for a dark, rainy Monday morning in the long shadow of a pandemic.
