15th November 2017: White Dead Leaves / Handwritten Addresses / LIT / Redemption Song / Shyla Stylez

Today, I am thankful / grateful,

for the chalk white of dead maple tree leaves on the ground

for post with the name and address handwritten - and these goodies within

for LIT, in particular the album A Place In The Sun. On paper a group I would not normally be attracted to, but I really love the melodies and songs on that record. Really satisfying and energised pop.

for Redemption Song. I was listening to the Johnny Cash version walking around earlier, which is not an exemplar version, however, testament to the songwriting, it had me welling up unexpectedly. It’s one of those songs I learned when I was a young teen and I had no real idea about the content of the words. Its wide-reaching context has brought it into an overwhelming statement. 

for Shyla Stylez / Amanda Friedland. RIP.
