the thin line.


there's only a thin line between success and failure.
as thin as paper.
as thin as dust.
as thin as microorganism.
-
the melody that popped up during your shower could be the next hit song
and mark the start of your endless fame and fortune
-
or could be easily forgotten merely because you needed to use the loo.
and didnt manage to record it.
-
that thin.

timbre and texture.

rachel yamagata played, on shuffle
matched the gloomy day very well, i thought.
-
"Would you please get our from under my skin
'Cause I can't begin this yet
And I don't know what my intentions are"

-
very quickly, the player jumped to the next track, on shuffle
did what it does best, randomness.
he sang
"Yeah--ahh, If we'd thought a bit 'bout the end of it
When we started to bust up the town
We'd have been aware that this love affair
Was too hot not to cool down"
-
Music brings you up, and tears you down,
Makes you frown, and turns it all around.
but this time round,
its nothing more than a medium of sound.
-
i continued walking, still feeling gloomy
-
on a pretty little wednesday.
