"Music is the art wich is most nigh to tears and memories" — O.W.

Nuestro irlandés favorito decía que el arte de la música es el que más cercano se halla de las lágrimas y los recuerdos... nada nuevo, pero aquí siempre nos gusta mirar al pasado y si es al universo de Oscar Wilde mucho mejor. Como veis,  este no es un top con las mejores canciones del pasado 2013, si no las que nos han pellizcado el alma o adormecido el corazón, hayan sido producidas en 2011, 1988 o en los sixties de Miles Davis y John Coltrane.  Os dejamos la lista de Spotify con la compilación de canciones de los tres Tops de Daughter. Esperamos que os guste :)

That's what our favorite Irishman said... nothing new, but in here we always like to look back to the past and if it is to the universe of Oscar Wilde, even better. As you can see, this is not a top with the best songs of the past year, it's a top with the ones that have reached our soul or touched our heart. They have been produced in 2011, 1988 or in the Miles Davis and John Coltrane's sixties.  Here there is a list of Spotify with the compilation of songs from the three Daughter Tops. We hope that you like it :)

Happy year!

¡Feliz año!

Orange-flowers, swallows, and regret.

"September: it was the most beautiful of words, he’d always felt, evoking orange-flowers, swallows, and regret."

— Alex Theroux

My September mood board. These photographs reflect how I'm feeling these days. With the arrival of Autumn a melancholic air surrounds everything. September has had the most beautiful sunsets and some rainy days. As the Irish proverb goes: "Autumn days come quickly, like the running of a hound on the moor." 

When I'm on that mood I dream about being on a Château in Normandy, taking afternoon tea on the terrace, and I constantly listen to some good old jazz songs (specially to Coltrane and Davis), Nick Drake, Charlotte Gainsbourg's IRM, and a lot of instrumental music (from Bach and Mozart to Dustin O'Halloran). Also, I've been watching films from Tarkovsky, Rohmer and Bergman. These three directors have an ability to create gloomy atmospheres and somber characters with reminiscences from Romanticism that are perfect for this time of the year.

Ph.: Trevor Triano, the dreamers (2003), Andre Kertesz, love in the afternoon (1972), Joannablu, Monet's garden, Christopher Baker, Charlotte Gainsbourg for Self Service, twobirdsonabranch, Anna Karina, 'Boreas' by John William Waterhouse, solaris (1972), cuerposiameses
