Santa Monica, Grey Gardens, Okkervil River, Fillmore Theatre.
Just a note to myself because of the amazing number of times these things kept popping up here there and everywhere within days and weeks. Coincidence? Probably leads. To where or to unravel what?
But pretty obviously - they are all places in the States (Santa Monica, Fillmore Theatre), a band (Okkervil River)from the States, a movie (Grey Gardens) set in the States.
Save for Santa Monica, the other three were either totally foreign, or just something I vaguely know and recognise. Happens all the time... these little coincidences.
I Love LA - Rilo Kiley
Cause I had a dream I was carried on backs Of a thousand green birds And they carried me to a place without words And there was nothin' but there was everything
I lean my head slowly to the side, reflect on the camellia on the moss
of the temple, reflect on a cup of tea, while outside the wind is rustling
the foliage, the forward rush of life is crystallised in a brilliant jewel
of a moment that knows neither plans nor future, human destiny is rescued
from the pale succession of days, glows with light at last and, surpassing
time, warms my tranquil heart.
