some of my favorite lyrics, fitting for a full moon night.

They say I made the moon
Everything was in the dark
No memories at all
Just a tiny freezing wind in my back
As I was sitting there
Singing a song they had never heard before
Suddenly, a voice told me
“Keep on singing, little boy
And raise your arms in the big black sky
Raise your arms the highest you can
So the whole universe will glow”

My first vision was a bush growing down the river
And I couldn’t stop crying
Something was missing
I realized I was in love with a voice
I called it, again, and again
But all I heard was the echo in the light

-m83, moonchild

m83 at the disney music hall last march. that might always be the concert that got away for me. the disney music hall in downtown los angeles is one of the coolest venues…architecturally beautiful and complex, mindblowing acoustics. perfect venue for m83. but they played there the same night as aubrey and candice’s wedding, and we’ve all been waiting 11 years for that so…i missed it.

i hope it happens again.

m83’s before the dawn heals us is an amazing (night time) album. atmospheric, rich and equally uplifting as haunting, like sigur ros or air’s pocket symphony. it has one scary song but outside of that, it’s incredible. get involved. here are some great videos (which i enjoyed watching alone in the dark):
