Mood: FUTURE ISLANDS

I love Future Islands. They are a synthy band out of Baltimore, Maryland that reminds me of early David Bowie and even The Smiths/Morrisey, though they are definitely unique in their own right.  Gerrit Welmers singing voice has a way of tearing me apart and I find myself thanking him for the utter unhinging.

So today I feel like almost dead flowers. I tend to be taken by melancholy when I am at the bridge of a big event, like my sister's wedding. I wonder what I will do when I have more time for silence. I fear idleness above all else. Today I made a playlist for my mood. It brings me joy in the way only only those who have been kissed by sadness can understand. It is so lovely.
