Behind This Sun

All I need is a little sign,
To get behind this sun and cast this weight of mine,
All I need is the place to find,
And there Ill celebrate.

– “All I Need”, Air.

We are in the heart of winter; the sky has grown a white film over the sun, the fallen leaves of autumn have had their decomposition halted by the chill and no matter how much I love this weather – having my hair parted by the frozen air, watching water droplets fall from empty branches, dancing in the rain – I am finding myself missing the early summer morning’s when the air is cool, the sun is warm and the trees dance to the arrhythmic tempo of chirping finches.  

All I want to do today is wake up to those dancing silhouettes through my blinded windows, lie in bed and drink green tea in my underpants; remembering that it is Sunday.

 *Track 5 was originally an album track containing a hidden song.  For it to fit well in this playlist I cut the hidden song out using music editing software.
