i picked up and old six by seven cd the other day, 'the things we make', for 49p. i thought it was one of their more dodgy ones, and i only really bought it for 'european me', the beautiful second song. but then i put it on in the car, driving back from my parents house, and it was just right, exactly what i needed to hear, right at that moment in time. driving too fast down a dangerously straight road into the end of sunset, with a black into blue into yellow into pink sky, and clouds amassed above the land, and then off to the left the clouds actually tracing down into lower clouds and reaching down, and even through the land - while this lyric, 'the things i make have no use, but they have the most beautiful shape', is right there in the car. the way music is in a small, moving space when you turn it up.
six by seven - beautiful shape

well i found your blog because my bf sent the the quote "the mediator between your hands and your head must be the heart". when i typed it in google your blog came up, and i have to say i love your ideas and the music on your playlists. i'm not sure if he read your blog or not or if that quote is famous and i'm a moron... but i love it and i'm happy i found your blog.
Hey miss anonymous,
thanks for the kind words - the title is actually from 'metropolis', the old fritz lang film from the 20s or 30s...i should probably know which decade, but i was never good with time. it's right at the end, but it's definitely worth watching the whole film if you've never seen it.
hope you keep reading,
--m.
