misty morning

up the tree
(pentax k1000, kodak ektar 100)

this first song- with its haunting and dreamlike melody- brought me back to you who i have lost, pieces of myself, the whole of my mother, a best friend, the eventuality of my beloved ransom. it made me think of war and japan. but inside those losses there was light and hope, and through my tears i found peace.

this second song charged with middle eastern rhythm made me want to dance and then dance again! i adore this band, Taken By Trees. (advise you listen and not watch whoever made this video as it is distracting and does not fit the feel of the music). you can read a review of the whole album East of Eden here (which the song Day by Day comes from) and i suspect if you don't own it already, you might feel compelled to purchase it after reading this.

enjoy!
