Music-&-Media

It feels like the sort of thing that one knows intuitively; that music and memory are inextricably linked. Finding out that there is a whole slew of science (Google search) that supports this is intensely gratifying, in the same way I imagine that someone who stumbles on a hastily put together recipe for quick delicious food must feel if that recipe ends up being celebrated by what I suppose is the more discerning palate of a Gordon Ramsey or a Jamie Oliver. Time and time again when I reflect on a song from yesteryear, I find that the where, who, what and when are indistinguishable from the song of the time, particularly where it was a song that I had on repeat for what feels in retrospect like days on end. ...

Finally pre-ordered the Let There Be Light album from which one of my favourite songs from this year’s Hillsong Conference comes. Ace!

When you see broken beyond repair I see healing beyond belief When you see too far gone I see one step away from home #Mended

When you’re dull from all that glitters, when your thoughts have a hollow ring, when you can’t escape from the fact you are getting it wrong… Where You Belong/ Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus - Newsboys [Spotify]

&nohtml5=False --- There’s no distance too far, that I can’t reach you There’s no place that’s so dark, that I can’t find you #Reassured

From the movie Brooklyn, based on the book by Irish writer Colm Tóibín which I finally saw: You’ll feel so homesick that you’ll want to die, and there’s nothing you can do about it apart from endure it. But you will, and it won’t kill you. And one day, the sun will come out you might not even notice straight away-it’ll be that faint. And then you’ll catch yourself thinking about something or someone who has no connection with the past. Someone who’s only yours. And you’ll realize that this is where your life is. ...

What’s done is done. There is no need to speak with Edmond about his past. From The Chronicles of Narnia - The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe - which I just watched again :) #BeginAgain
