i'll bring the sun

In this winter wonderland, there is a lot of sun. Broken Social Scene brings it too.

collecting the moments

Heavy fog envelopes the city tonight. Perfect autumn. Dreamy. Dreamy And so is the Feist and Patrick Daughters duo.



...make a home from a rented house
and we'll collect the moments one by one
I guess that's how the future's done

how many acres how much light
tucked in the woods and out of sight
talk to the neighbours and tip my cap
on a little road barely on the map

back to life

(...) We're alone in the field, always at a distance. And people appear and disappear from your life. Grief comes in the form of much larger thoughts; it's more philosophical and it leads to a confused state of mind. (...) It's a pullback from details and it's grand and isolating. Feist.



Please meet the director of the video Keith Megna.

from there we climb the goldenhill, call and they will eternally
I held your hand, the giant wand; alto low song
and history begins to be blue and brown eyed

no limit

There's a moon over my street tonight. And there is nothing more rejuvenating than a late evening walk and getting lost and sneaky in the prison area. Paradoxically, there's no limit to that.

it's the edge of love
you can't unthink a thought
either it's there or not

with attitude

She's stunningly talented, beautiful and has great aesthetic taste. What else one should need? Oh yes, she's Canadian. Feist.



Please meet again the director Martin de Thurah and read more about his colaboration with Feist here. (via Nowness).

start with colours 
they always get away with attitude 
but they'll try to convince you of your mood 
and what you want they'll give it to you 
but it's only therapy, that's all they do (...)

when the flag changes colours
the language knows 
when the month changes numbers
it's time to go 

take it slow

And another duo of Feist and Patrick Daughters. Aren't airports fun? Heading there again.



heart on my sleeve
not where it should be
the song's out of key again
(...) what day and what phase
it's the calendar page again

changing your heart

Feist has a good effect on Patrick Daughters's directing. I like their duo. It lifts my spirit.



The video features dancers from the non-profit dance company Sens Production. Choreographed by Noémie Lafrance.



I feel it all, I feel it all
I feel it all, I feel it all
The wings are wide, the wings are wide (...)
I’ll be the one who'll break my heart 
I'll be the one to hold the gun

cicadas and gulls

The day intensively spun around connections. I spoke to dozens of strangers and to dozens of those I know well. Discovered new places and biked in the night. Summer is boldly approaching and city awakening. Liberating and overwhelming feeling in the middle of May.



cicadas and gulls
they scrape on the hull
the land and the sea
they're distant from me

I'm in the sky, sky, sky
I'm in the sky

(...) as high as a stage
as full as a room

18 weeks to go

All righty. I don't have to perhaps go to such extreme and move. All I have to do is simply move in time till summer so I can embark the festival season. The posh and city-orientated Flow Festival (see the 18 weeks to go teaser :)) gets new artists. Yeah. We are all happy about it. Bobby Womack, Yann Tiersen, Korallreven (!!!). Well, all three of them get three exclamation marks as well as these new names I am excited to see in the festival line-up: Burning Hearts from Finland, Orchestre Poly-Rythmo de Cotonou from Benin and Tamikrest from Mali. Not to mention the ones confirmed before: Feist, Björk, Ane Brun and St. Vincent. Life's good.

the bad in each other

Now there's something mesmerasing in this. All of this. Music and vision.
Fiest will be on Flow this summer.



speak plain he said but didn't see he acted that way 
and held me like a cup fill me up then pour me out 
therein lies the doubt we had the same feelings at opposite times

Meet the director of the video Martin De Thurah.
