Dream of horses

...

If you're ever feeling blue, then write another 
song about your dream of horses... (Belle & Sebastian)

"I guess every girl goes through a photography phase. 
You know, horses... taking pictures of your feet." (Lost in Translation)

I've been listening to these two songs a lot lately and they both have a horse-themed video. Trust's video for "Candy Walls" ♥ is a marvelous abstract piece with a 70s vibe, sort of inspired on Equus, directed by the photographer and film maker Eva Michon. Robert Alfons and Maya Postepski are the members of the duo Trust, and they also are the stars of the video! Robert has an amazing voice and he's quite charming too. He looks like a modern James Dean riding a motorcyle with a vintage brown jacket, and he also reminds me of River Phoenix on My Own Private Idaho. 


The Munk & Peaches video, beautifully directed by Lyall Coburn, shows us a cute girl who lives in a country house, one of these dreamy places like the one from Stealing Beauty, where she has horse pics on the walls of her bedroom and walks through yellow fields under the sun with a little horse. The song is a version of the Stephanie Mills disco classic "You can't Run From My Love".


Hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

I am not young enough to know everything

... today it's my 22nd birthday. It seems like it was a long time ago when I turned 18, I started Uni, I met some amazing people there, and I watched Garden State, and now my boyfriend has gave me as a present for my birthday the last album of The Shins, and I'm gonna spend the afternoon with the amazing people I met back in 2008 and that are now my best friends. Besides from that, one of my best friends has gave me a bunch of beautiful flowers, and together with other two friends the album "The Covers Record" from Cat Power, which is also one of my favorite artists. Life is indeed full of nice surprises. 

"Cause every single story is a story about love." ♥

Melancolía

 Las luces del metro. Luz. Oscuridad. Luz. Oscuridad… recuerdo el hospital.

 Los cristales rotos. Mis manos manchadas de sangre.  

El protagonista de “Le Boucher” decía que la sangre de los animales y la de los hombres 

tienen el mismo olor. 

Mi sangre y la tuya, mezcladas, recorriendo las falanges de mis dedos.

 Juntos. Juntos hasta el último minuto. 

 Huir. Coger un tren, el de las 19:15. 
Sin maleta, sólo lo puesto y un par de billetes sueltos. 

No volver. Nunca mirar atrás. 

  Cerrar los ojos, y pensar que volveré a verte. 

Pensar en tus ojos. Pensar en tu voz. Pensar en nosotros. 

Recuerdo nuestra canción: Wild is the wind. You touch me… 

Recuerdo a ratos y me estremezco… me doy cuenta de que no ha sido un mal sueño, 
sino de que estoy empezando a tener recuerdos de todo lo que pasó. 

El tiempo está cambiando. Del aire frío a la humedad. ¿O soy yo? 

   La melancolía es un estado natural de algunos animales y de algunos seres humanos. 

También de algunas plantas.

Yo nací con un don único, el de canalizar el gris de las nubes 

y el frío de la lluvia en mi sangre. En mi pecho.

... fragmentos de un texto que escribí hace unos años, y que el día de lluvia y frío de ayer, 

y esta preciosa canción de The National, me los han recordado:
