Hungry - Kosheen

2008-06-05T16:35:00.001+09:30

You're like a child with old eyes,
Cynical and sensible, always full of surprises.
You travel far and wide, looking for the feeling, lost inside you.
They don't understand you, no, until it's too late,
With everything they've handed you on a silver plate.

Are you hungry for a little more than what you've had before?
Are you hungry for a taste of life? Wet your appetite, are you hungry?

Now give me this mountainside, cool waters to lie beside,
Give me these two strong eyes to see the difference between truth and lies.
Ah, give me this feeling when you kiss me baby, every day and every night,
That's all I need, yes, everything is gonna be all right.

Are you hungry for a little more than what you've had before?
Are you hungry for a taste of life? Wet your appetite, are you hungry?

You're like a sight for sore eyes, lyrical and gentle,
Borderlining sentimental, you're like a dream realised.
So why do I keep falling back to sleep, I'm so serious and deep.

A Fine Frenzy

2008-05-08T14:11:00.000+09:30

There are those lucky few human beings who are not only super-talented but also incredibly beautiful, like works of art in themselves, and one such example is singer/songwriter Alison Sudol aka A Fine Frenzy.

Her music is at once sad and uplifting, and makes me think of the ocean, driving with the windows down, and young love. Here, her lovely music video for the melancholy "Almost Lover"...

Audrey Kawasaki

Audrey Kawasaki’s oil paintings of women on wood have a languid sensuality and haunting seductiveness. Their half-closed eyes seem to draw us in, but there is also something unsettling about the women, like sirens luring us into the water to drown. There is a subtle eeriness visible through occasional grotesque touches-a spider in hair, a skeleton winding around a woman-which makes us look twice, for these images are not merely pretty, but palpable with undercurrents of something bad about to happen, if we look for too long.

Saab commercial

This is quite possibly the most beautiful, moving commercial I have ever seen. Who knew a car company could make such a stunning work of art? Lovely song too-Release Me by Oh Laura.

Welcome to Art/Life!

“Art is only a means to life, to the life more abundant. It is not in itself the life more abundant. It merely points the way, something which is overlooked not only by the public, but very often by the artist himself. In becoming an end it defeats itself.”
-Henry Miller

Art/Life is about Art, Life and all the stuff inbetween. I will share with you the artists I love, and the works of art that inspire me-whether they be poetry, music, visual art or film. Art/Life is about living in an artful way, and making a little extra effort to fill our lives with Art. I believe Art is available to everyone, and can be found anywhere-in nature, music, film, and love. I believe Art is the bridge between the mundane and the divine. I believe Art is the physical manifestation of Love. So, I hope through Art/Life, you are inspired to create Art in your own life, and be more conscious of the Art that exists all around us, if we only stop and look.

“We are happy when for everything inside us there is a corresponding something outside us.”

-William Butler Yeats
