Little Person - Jon Brion (w/ Deanne Storey)
from Synecdoche, New York Soundtrack
I don't want to start off my blog depressed and emo and pensive and thinking and Forrest Gumpy (?) but here goes. This song makes me feel like it's okay to feel lonesome and little. Deanne Storey's vocals are minimal and slide in your ear and makes everything feel like a bubble bath. I always thought it was "life's more precious with you, innit?" but it's actually "life's more precious with you in it". I guess that's my Yorkshire side coming out. I mean, my faux-shire side seeping out like some toxic mushrooms. I always have this sort of scene in my head and it's like New York (how fitting) and it's late at night and people and lights are all flashing but it's all slo-mo for me. The walking piano and bass and overall jazzy feeling feels like a beautiful loser at a bar/club when all the glowsticks are drained and all that's left is a janitor cleaning up at 8AM. It ends off hopeful: "somewhere maybe someday, maybe somewhere far away, I'll meet that second little person and we'll go out and play." I wish I could go out to play, but my impending exams makes me gag and indoorsy. But this song revives me and motivates me to work HARD until saturday and summer.
We like music. I like music. We like to rant. I like to rant. We like cookies and cupcakes. I like cookies and cupcakes. This is pretty much all we're going to talk about. And maybe alex turner.
