awakening: by Shaun O.
I haven't seen Crazy Heart, but hope to soon. Tonight, I sit and listen to songs of crazy truth from the latest Laura Veirs album, July Flame. I nod my head to the beat - the kick and bass, and also the beats and beats of truth to which I cannot help but agree with movement. Sitting here in the dark, I began to think: what is going on here with Laura V.? What am I connecting to?
Well, I'm really also in a waiting pattern for the approaching Joanna Newsom album (couple weeks). Her music moves me in a similar way - Laura and Joanna are throwing sticks and rocks and swinging on swings at the same playground in my mind. Thus, I've broadened my test-group. What do I connect to both in JN and LV?
Crazy Truth.
Or, what would you call it? What's another name for colorful fiction that grips a truth in you that you barely knew was there?
Throw words around with me. We should be out on a playground too.
