i can see light/ i can feel love/ i can see the sun

Never thought I would be doing this but im posting up a techno song! Yeh, not saying anything about techno with that but is just I never really could listen to all that pulsating whirlwind beats for long so far in my twenty years of life. Fact I remember once converting a techno listener to Tori Amos.

Well not until a certain DJ from Brazil, Gui Boratto mixed up ' Beautiful Life'. Supposedly, this is a little deviant from his usual stuff he spins out, but to hell with that i'm glad he came up with this.

It is hard, and probably impossible for me to tell you how much I love this song from a critical dissection of such a tune, because frankly a) I would not know where to begin b) eh just listen to it and tell me where *you* would start. It does not have much in the way of lyrics, but that only resonates even more with its theme. The implacable beauty of the unseen, stuff that go unnoticed, or are just *missed*. The love of the asymmetrical over the symmetry. Things that are impossible to describe in bits and pieces if they turn around and ask " so list the things you like about me" because it's the whole that is always looked at and *just* appreciated.

But that's not all, what makes it even more pristine is that there is nothing terribly 'arthouse' about this. It just is plain fun to listen to, begging to turn the volume up, perking your ears up and twitching your feet. It's perfect to listen to on a lazy day. In the bustle and rush of business. Zen moments. When you're free. When your heart is broken. When you want to lie down. When you want to get up. When you want to forget. When you want to reminiscence.

GUI BORATTO - BEAUTIFUL LIFE

Good stuff.
