Got to admit to feeling a little run down and sad at the moment :(
It all just sorta hit me last night – lack of funds, racing around the place trying to do too much, not sure how I’ll manage to keep it all together, etc. Started playing Officium – 14th/15th century vocal ensemble meets saxophone – really out there stuff – the voices sound like the backing music from any Rivendell scene in Lord of the Rings while the sax just wails out over the top. Very emotional stuff and when you’re in a funk, that plus a good hit of vodka and a balcony where you can watch the stars really hits the spot.
Of course, playing the music at midnight at rather loud volumes on a still night isn’t the best way to win the support of your neighbours, but hey, it’s a change from their loud sessions :)
Probably my Irish heritage but when the melancholy hits, it hits hard and booze really helps settle it down. At least with this session I didn’t do a true “blue funk” session and go through a whole bottle or two :)
Less upset today but still finding it hard to get motivated – getting the work done but it’s like I’m pushing up hill to do it.
