slow down the night

tonight is one of those nights. the ones where i am ever so content to just be sitting in my room listening to my favourite music, reclining from all the doing and going. and just being.

on my playlist right now is Amy Winehouse – her type of sound really does it for me somehow. here a hint of the Supremes and there an Aretha-esque quality, very very unique and distinctive. i just love that. i love the subtle 70’s vibes it exudes. and i love when you can’t put your finger on the genre of the music. it’s probably also the most poppy/mainstream stuff outdated-me has really listened to in recent times, haha.

saw a live theatre production of Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” at the Coronet Cinema in Notting Hill Gate today. nothing spectacular – small stage, music provided by one keyboard, and no amazing props or effects. in fact the cast was made up of but 5 people. but it was a good effort, heart-warming and sincere in its simplicity.

it is 3 days to Christmas day and outside it’s misty. under the street lamp vapour and dust rise like a swarm of tiny fireflies. i’m wondering how much colder it is where you are right now. (=

i wish i could say no regrets / and no emotional debts / cause as we kiss goodbye the sun sets / so we are history / your shadow covers me / the sky above a blaze that only lovers see

he walks away / the sun goes down / he takes the day but i am grown / and in your way / in my blue shade / my tears dry on their own
