Listening Day 9: Exit / Delete

This is an incredibly beautiful song. I could finish my post about it right there, but there is so much more to this track.

I love the background, how you can hear the sounds of a shopping centre check out in the background. It is such a delicate track and yet quite definite and sure at the same time.

I haven’t tired of listening to this song since the day I first heard it.

Listening Day 7: Darkest Dreaming

Darkest dreaming is, as you’d expect, a fairly dark piece by anyone’s standards, but even so there is a hint of hope in it. The music is sublime and floats around Sylvian’s voice without the two parts ever getting in the way of each other.

The song comes from the album ‘Dead Bees on a Cake’, which is a long listen, but has a lot of good tracks in it. It took me quite a while to appreciate the album, but now I really enjoy it and this is one of the tracks I like the most.
