scary resemblence to a faded me

just got back from the silent movie theater where i saw a preview of Le Voyage de Ballon Rouge or the Flight of the Red Balloon from the Taiwanese director Hou Hsiao-Hsien. juliette binoche was just incredible...and it made me want to visit france, not have children and get back into my puppetry.

here's a song from that soundtrack that really stuck out:

Charles Aznavour || Emmenez-Moi

Here's the lyrics, translated:

*******************************

Take Me Along

On the docks where the boredom
Of life is all that I own
I see boats coming in
With the fruits of places unknown

I watch as they come
From a world in the sun
That I see in my Mind

But then it's farewell
To this cold northern hell
They can leave far behind

Let me go where they go
Let me fly the winds that they fly
For to stay in this place
Will destroy a man such as I

Take me along
A long way from here
Take me along to a faraway shore
When you are poor
It's easy to bear
With sunshine and soft Summer air

At the end of the day
In a bar with sailors I stand
I talk about girls, about love
A glass in my hand

But then in my dreams
I can travel it seems
On a thought, Southern bound
And there I can hold
All the magic and gold
Of the love I have found

When the bars
On the keyside are closed
Alone I remain
I continue to dream
And each night
The dream is the same

Take me along
A long way from here
Take me along to a faraway shore
When you are poor
It's easy to bear
With sunshine and soft Summer air

Very soon I will take any job
Or chance that I can
Though I dream like a child
For my dreams I'll work like a man

Work and with pride
For my ticket to ride
Where the sun shines for me
Survive any storm
To be wild to be warm
That's the way I must be

I'll be leaving behind no regrets
And all of my past
And I'll call to the sea
As I sail to freedom at last

Take me along
A long way from here
Take me along to a faraway shore
When you are poor
It's easy to bear
With sunshine and soft Summer air

last night a remix saved my life

i tend to avoid certain sites for maybe obvious reasons but johnny mentioned something about remixing ssion (or maybe versa vice?) but here's the newest remix of ssion's song clown via pitchfork.

kostars || red umbrella
this is basically one of my favorite songs. i refound this 45 today.

i employed that umbrella

I just pulled out this album last night. Sugar Shack is one of my favorite songs and I really have no idea what else is on this album. Part of my radio listening during high school in New Jersey was tuning into WKXW 101.5 "Not New York, Not Philadelphia...PROUD to be New Jersey" and then comes the jingle NEW JERSEY ONE OH ONE POINT FIVE. Another one of my favorites from the station was The Hollies-Bus Stop...I found a funny Herman's Hermits cover of the Bus Stop song on youtube and posted it below. You can listen to the Sugar Shack song here if you haven't heard it. I think one of my favorite things from early TV broadcasts are bands being quite awkward in front of the camera and not knowing how to perform.

sunspecs

this is the song i have on repeat today: Untitled Melody by Orange Juice from the album You Can't Hide Your Love Forever





You're so transparent I can guess without question
You need something or other to cover your expression
I bought you some sunspecs from the local hipsters store
I need you more or less, you need me more and more
I'm so transparent you can guess without question
I need something or other to cover my expression
Buy me some sunspecs like the ones you wore
From the local hipsters store
You need me more or less, I need you more and more
