301: “Lost In The Light” by Bahamas
October 2, 2012 Leave a comment
This one is gorgeous. And sad.
Nothing beautiful is perfect.
Bahamas is the moniker of Afie Jurvanen, a Canadian singer-songwriter, and his latest album is Barchords (2012). It contains some marvelously cracked jewels like “Lost in the Light.” And the picture to the right does not capture the illustrative depth of character and emotion rendered by Afie in the aforementioned tune. I just thought the moustache was 110% black angus solid beef-out style and ought to be shared.
In the same spirit, here is a beautiful and nearly perfect poem, from Braided Creek by Jim Harrison and Ted Kooser (Copper Canyon Press, 2003):
Straining on the toilet
we learn how
the lightning bug feels.
Don’t strain too hard. Just relax, and enjoy the light.
