Con los pies en el suelo y la cabeza en las nubes


One time I fell in love and it sounded like Mendelssohn.  It sounded like the Kinks and like Johnny Cash.  It sounded like Dolly Parton in the summertime and Steve Reich’s Music for 18 played at double tempo.  It sounded crazy out of control and completely mundane. Oxymoronic in it’s entirety.  It sounded like Clara Rockmore’s Lost Theremin meets hardcore and zydeco while themes from Strauss's Salome kept trying to creep in.  Sam Cooke waking up and The Cramps to go to sleep.  Stylistic fusion so entangled nothing made sense and there were no genres and everything disappeared.  Jacques Dutronc singing Wagner.  It sounded like everything and nothing.
