    Darling Arithmetic was written, recorded, produced and mixed by O’Brien at home - the loft of a converted farmhouse that he shares in the coastal town of Malahide to the north of Dublin - revealing a single-minded artist at the peak of his already considerable songwriting powers. It encompasses the various shades of feeling - desire, obsession, lust, loneliness and confusion, and deeper into philosophical and existential territory, across a cast of lovers, friends, family and even strangers. Backing up his supple and emoting vocal and guitar is the subtlest palate of instrumentation - piano, Mellotron (which accounts for the album’s occasional horn and cello tones) and brushes. O’Brien plays every instrument on these exquisite, melodic songs in a sparse, spacious, acoustic-leaning fashion.
    Directed by Niall Cullinane and Sean Leonard

      I am derealized by this woman and she plays a plan to isolate me socially so good. But I still love her. She opened my anorectic body with BDSM and I can remember my bisexuality through her. So intense, but it hurts so.

      Villagers was suggested to me by Spotify on a playlist I made at the start of the first confinement. It's an eclectic playlist. It goes from Alabama Shakes to Burial, from Leonard Cohen, Sufjan and Elliot Smith to Jon Hopkins, CocoRosie and James Blake. This track fits perfectly

    Took a little time to get where I wanted
    It took a little time to get free
    It took a little time to be honest
    It took a little time to be me
    I took a little lover but then we parted
    I took a little time to get over this
    From time to time, I get heavyhearted
    Thinking of how you used to kiss
    Courage
    It's a feeling like no other
    Let me tell you, yeah
    Courage
    In harmony with something other than your ego
    Courage
    The sweet belief of knowing nothing comes for free
    Do you really wanna know,
    About these lines on my face?
    Well, each and every one is testament to
    All the mistakes I've had to mak
    To find courage
    It's a feeling like no other
    Let me tell you, yeah
    Courage
    In harmony with something other than your ego
    Courage
    The sweet belief of knowing nothing comes for free
    For free...
    Courage
    It's a feeling like no other
    Let me tell you, yeah
    Courage
    And harmony with something other than your ego
    Courage
    The sweet belief of knowing nothing comes for free

De esas canciones que te conmueven apenas las escuchas, aún sin entenderlas, y cuando le prestas atención a la letra todo se relaciona, y se te caen esas lagrimas de emoción pero al mismo tiempo de tristeza... una canción que tiene un lugar muy importante en mi piel (tatuaje) y sobre todo, en mi alma...

    I am so far from home
    I am so far from free
    Freezing in me, my heart hurdles up close to my chest and bones cover up
    A little warmth for my memories
    A little bit longer to reach
    I can't be patient anymore
    I can't be sure I'll find what I need
    On this road, on this journey
    On this road, on this journey
    All alone, all alone Twisting and turning in the night to feel
    To feel the home I dreamed
    To feel the home I dreamed
    From hardened ways to softest seas
    From the fights to peace
    I just want to believe
    Daydreaming of hugs and kisses
    To be safely, at ease
    To be safe from harshness that was always offered
    But that's just how things can be
    It's life it's life but not mine
    I'll be home before the sun is set upon
    I'll close my eyes and feel. My dream
    My dream of a home where I could just breathe

    Anywaaay... I played 'Becoming a Jackal' until my brain had had enough, but to be honest, it is taking me a wee bit of time to enjoy the later albums. It is growing on me the more I listen though and I'm digging the country feel so I just need to go with the flow and let go.
    I like the simplicity, and the totally unexpected echo/dream effect toward the end of this song in particular. Overall summary: change is good :)
