Hey guys, lately I've been feeling a bit sad about the blog, as for the first time (probably) since I started sharing my posts on Google+ I've been going through a whole month of posts without even one of them getting 10 +1s... I don't know why, if my writing has become boring, if I haven't been posting appealing songs, if something has changed with Google+ and/or its communities or what else... I am sad to see that the feedback is going down, but I am (really) happy to see that some of you out there keep supporting me by liking and commenting on what I post, and this is very, very important for me, as sharing with all of you out there the music I love is the very reason why I started writing this blog! I hope the tide is gonna turn and my posts will go and get a wider and wider audience! In the meanwhile I'll leave you another great tune by Will Butler off his debut solo album! Have a nice Saturday night!
Today I open our mailbox and found a leaflet by Jehovah's witnesses, there was written on it something about going together to paradise or else, not that I was much interested in it... at all. Sometimes I think about it and I am amazed by the fact that our society is so advanced under many points of view but still so backward under many others. In my opinion, religion is one of them. My perception is that religions has always been a way for men to explain what they weren't able to understand with supernatural entities. I think that nowadays our understanding of the laws of nature and of the world around us is, if still very much limited, much better than it used to be, say, 2000 years ago. So I find it very peculiar that religion (as organised cult, especially those that were born or evolved from centuries and centuries ago) still is so powerful and religious leaders still hold such a strong influence on so many people. I'm not denying spirituality, rather I think that it is a very, very important part of the human experience. I am just stunned that many people still live their spirituality following teachings so old. But don't worry, the son of god will come down and guide us!!
Today things have been going slightly better than yesterday, as I filled up my afternoon with some house cleaning, I hope that now I live in a less-dusty world! Besides that, nothing much has happened, which is driving me somehow crazy, and to address this issue I need to do something, i.e. probably going to turn out into me booking another trip and leave soon for some place, possibly warm and with a nice seaside! Today I also finished giving my basic get-to-know 10 listens to a bunch of new albums I have been approaching recently, which have mostly been featured here on the blog in the last couple of weeks or so. Will Butler's has been one of the most rewarding of them undoubtedly, and this song, the opener of his short album, is the one that made me realise I would enjoy it since the first 10 seconds I had put it on!!
