in which a slow dance = silence (the good kind)

so, sometimes you want to listen to music and have it fill every nook and cranny, make it so loud that it overwhelms you. i like driving to this sort of music. if it's just me, i turn it up as loud as it can go, even if my ears ring for hours later.


but sometimes, i like music that's quiet. and even then, if it's just me and a pair of headphones, i like to make that quiet so it's all i hear. have you ever had a song like that? i've got a few. i let them sink in and become musical silence. i know that doesn't make too much sense, but it happens.


slow dance, by montreal-based coco et. co, is just such a song. it's perfect for late nights, or fading days. or long drives where lots of things need to be thought out but can be pushed to the side, if only for three minutes at a time.



you won’t write her a letter
up all night, you know better
start a fight in the winter
apologize next november

you disguise, you’ll remember
when she flies next semester
you describe her as weather
you will try to forget her
