something like love

something like hope
something like beautiful
something I wrote
but postcards from Paradise
rarely sent to me
postcards from Paradise
weren't meant for me

the lyrics of Himalayan Project's Postcards from Paradise have been running through my head all day. You can hear it on their website - click on Sounds.

I first heard it at Artwallah last summer. I bought the CD, Wince at the Sun (you should too!) and played it several times on the drive back up from LA to Oakland.

Everything about this track sings Migritude to me. Right down to the line: paisley pattern teardrop in the Arabian sea. It's the track that lifts me up and drops me back into the heart of my creative work.
