It’s a busy day for me as I finish up a group of work before I head out on the road for a couple of days, going first to Asheville to drop off some new pieces at the Haen Gallery then on to Alexandria for a Gallery Talk at the Principle Gallery on Saturday. I am finishing up framing and there’s always a sense of urgency at this point.
So, here’s a little musical interlude. It’s a song from April Smith called Terrible Things. It first came to my attention as part of a promo for the TV show Weeds and it really caught my ear. I came across this acoustic version that I like a lot.
It’s an interesting song. Terrible things. How many of us carry the weight of terrible things we’ve done behind our everyday appearance? I know I’ve done things of which I’m not proud but I try to keep them buried and not dwell on them. I want to be defined by the person I ultimately became, not the impetuous, naive youth I was.
Anyway, give a listen.
