Alex Turner Got me

Franz Schubert the composer said “there’s no such thing as happy music”. I always got a kick out of that. Not because I think that music has to be sad but because I think when it most effective there’s an element of it operating within a spectrum that has neither ‘happy’ or 'sad’ at either end of it. Music with lyrics in a language you don’t understand or no lyrics at all has the power to send vehement shivers through your body. It’s almost as if the melody or something else in there has an invisible direct line to the depths of the subconscious. This interests me greatly.

A year ago I had everything planned and then everything collapsed. I now know my life next year this time is going to be something I can’t even imagine. So I will plan weekly, do fun things daily and breathe freely. I will eat loads of cake and I will create. I will not invite negativity to stay.
