the shuffle songs setting isn't one i often use on my ipod. truthfully, i think i like to control my soundscape too much. to choose just the right song. to make the perfect playlist (however many hours or days it takes). to select the album that really tells it like i feel it.
sitting in the twinkle of fairy lights, with camomile tea, many thoughts and an exhalation at the end of the day, i am content, but struck by the desire to check the song titles and add them to a playlist for future reference.
i want to be here now. letting the music pass me by. allowing randomality to shape these moments. to be present to the warp and woof.
in the past half an hour i have been on an aural journey with jeff buckley, joni mitchell, pavement, aretha franklin, kt tunstall, ludovico einaudi, julie lee, jason mraz, keane, low and kate rusby. there was even a little dancing.
and it's all good.
let it be. let it be.
