Jan. 27th, 2006 01:44 pmThe new Duncan Sheik album arrived today. Just as it was supposed to. Thank you, two-day-shipping. I'll miss you when you're gone.
Duncan's albums change. They each have a particular emotional theme. His first is hopeful about love and life. Humming is bitter, jaded. Phantom Moon is surrlealistic, Duncan's music and a playwright's words. Daylight is joyous, beauty and love found. And this new one? White Limousine is melancholy and haunted and full of tears. As though some hurt has scarred everything in the world. Even the songs with somewhat upbeat messages still use the minor chords and the haunting music.
And I love his music for that. Even though sometimes I feel like he's wrenched my heart out. I love the power, the joy, the honesty.
