paint it white

Dimanche, décembre 20th, 2009

Let’s write this one in English, just to be sure i spent my last six months with at least some american people.

The last day, the day its finally starts snowing in New York. I feel like this is a nice way to end up my journey here, a blank page to start again something new in Paris. It’s been an amazing 6 months, 2 appartments, a thousand bars, a few clubs thanks to Alison, a lost bet, but a great job experience. This was also the time when I realised it’s all about taking the right time for the things and people that matters. Life was easy and peaceful, let’s try to keep that from now on.

I don’t know how to sum all of that up, i haven’t realized i’m leaving yet and i’m waiting to take a cab to JFK. The only thing I am sure about is that New York is an amazing city, because it is full of possibilities, there is a place for everyone, and you can choose who you want to be. A friend of mine told me a few weeks before my departure that i would find art in New York, and thanks to Athena and a couple of friends, i really did.

There’s a lot of people i didn’t have a chance to say goodbye, but this is just a new page, a new chapter, not the end of the book, and there will be new adventures.

So,

Thank you Athena for who you are and all you showed me, and i’m not only talking about places.

Regina Spektor @ Radio City Music Hall

It’s like forgetting the words to your favorite song
You can’t believe it
You were always singing along
It was so easy and the words so sweet
You can’t remember
You try to feel the beat

Samson, Eet, Laughing With, Fidelity, On the Radio, j’en ai encore plein la tete et plein les oreilles.
Un instant au dessus de la ville, deconnecte du monde. Une voix qui vous donne les yeux rouges.
Le genre de moment qui se passe de commentaires, vous sortez de la silencieux, envie d’errer un peu le nez en l’air.
Se dire que c’est pour ces belles choses qu’on est content d’etre la. On est presque fier d’etre aussi nombreux la ce soir.

pour ceux qui ne connaissent pas, ou qui veulent redecouvrir : regina spektor

musique

Jeudi, octobre 8th, 2009

trois jours maintenant que je n’ecoute exclusivement que de la musique classique. clairement ca fait du bien de retrouver cette ambiance, un peu hors du temps. j’ecoute du erik satie, la gnossienne n.3, le requiem de mozart, j’ai decouvert steve reich, new york counterpoint, qui resonne bien d’ailleurs avec la chanson new york i love you de lcd soundsystem (pas dans le meme registre).
la vie est drolement faite, j’ai rencontre hier soir une compositrice. elle compose des requiems et des musiques de film. elle commence a me parler d’erik satie et du minimalisme en musique classique. j’ai ecoute la symphonie n.9 en mi mineure d’antonin dvorak, et il y a plein de similutudes avec duel of the fates de john williams, la b.o de la menace fantome.
