lost and found

it has been absolutely non-stop since i got in the car and drove back to SF Tuesday morning. today with fever & chills, my mind is wandering. curled up at home, the slower pace and lack of destination is where i need to be.

a musician who's track caught my ear online a few months ago has posted the final release version. LOST has become a complete journey with a rich and deep seasoned complexity.

i compare the two versions of the track closely and study the changes.

brilliant, the sharpening & intensity of emotion, the reflective dispersal of vocals, the lightening layers that float tumble crash.

at around :45, this vocal rearrangement in particular is strikingly different

i used to think i could come along make a difference
i used to hope but now i know . . . i was only wishing

now a melancholic lament, a hint of backstory that sets a reference to build against/from in the here & now chorus

with repeated listening, i notice other things, numerous slight changes that give a heightened context & firmer stance to the track.

when i close my eyes, i see walking on the boulevard. i see horses.
i see this song clearly located here. LOST is the music of boulevard.

thanks damion
happy birthday
