Grace Jones: Operattack
One listen. I’ve wanted to cover this song for a bit but haven’t gotten around to it. I think it’s a great bit of music that decontextualises voice in an interesting way. Didn’t get that across though; I stuck to … Continue reading

Peter Gabriel: The Drop
One listen where I threw myself into the song. I think there’s a transition here that’s not as smooth as I’d like. However, it is one that I appreciate. A lot of this just describes the song, but toward the … Continue reading

Talk Talk: April 5th
This one wasn’t written in one go. I wrote part of it a few days ago and struggles so I put it aside. I know I wanted to keep what I wrote and so I resumed from there. During the … Continue reading

Joe Hisaishi: Meet Again
One listen. This one I really struggled with and it may have to do with how tired I am. It could also do with being unprepared. I don’t feel I threw myself into this enough and kind of spent a … Continue reading

Spencer Nilsen: Ridge Water
One listen. This was written almost immediately after the prior one and only shared now due to having other stuff I needed to take care of. I think that, as it was written so closely to the prior one it … Continue reading
