The Smallest Pieces

Little tiny moments in songs and the way people leave on road trips in the middle of movies and all these tiny little fractions of moments that speak to your heart.

Sometimes I feel like whatever we loved as kids created pathways in our brains, and the rest of our lives are spent hunting down sounds and visions which retrace those tracks.

We review movies as if we all see the same things, but it's different for everyone. Even if everyone did love the Avengers movie, it'd be different moments that fill the hole.

But the best stuff fills your personal soundtrack, your own collection of scenes. They're what make you tick, and they're so hard to find because everyone seems to innovate or stagnate, and you just want them to RESONATE!

It's 2.22am. At 2.22am the charts are irrelevant, the box office is meaningless. It's all about what speaks to you.

  1. It is! It's what speaks to each of us as different as that is yet exciting all the same.

  2. I've really enjoyed catching up on your recent posts Kid and this one in particular resonated. I particularly liked: 'Sometimes I feel like whatever we loved as kids created pathways in our brains, and the rest of our lives are spent hunting down sounds and visions which retrace those tracks.' I've been feeling that way for a while but you captured it perfectly.
