This feels like whatever the tumblr equivalent of "long-time listener, first-time caller" but...have you heard the song "Dreamer" by Elizaveta? Pandora introduced me last week, and I just thought it might be something you would like? Also wanted to say that I absolutely adore your "we were screaming colour" collection on ffn, and I've been slowly working through Lorna Crozier's Book of Marvels after I saw it here. I read an entry every morning before I'm off to work, and it has fed my soul well.
“i believe in fairy tales and serendipitous encounters”!!! thank you so much for the rec! i wasn’t familiar with the song or the artist, and now i am obsessively listening through her discography; you were completely correct, and this is utterly up my alley. (female vocalist over strings and thoughtful lyrics pretty much gets me every time.)
i am so delighted to hear that you are enjoying book of marvels, in turn! i don’t know if it alone can completely account for the joy i try to find in everyday things, but it certainly has shaped my concepts of where we find joy and marvel in the world, of how to look at the world and find something magical or kind or clever or delightful there.
please feel free to stop by anytime. i am always happy to trade recs for, yes, all those things in the world that feed our souls.
