In The Summer

July 5, 2012July 20, 2013by JustinLeave a Comment

In the summer
I stretch out on the shore
And think of you
Had I told the sea
What I felt for you,
It would have left its shores,
Its shells,
Its fish,
And followed me.

– Nizar Qabbani (trans. B. Frangieh & C. Brown)

Music

Sigur Rós – Varðeldur

I think this is one of the loveliest songs I’ve heard in a long time. Sigur Rós always completely captivate me when it comes to music that reaches deep down inside. It’s from their latest album: Valtari. Hope you enjoy it. G’night.
