Whilst Ms. Spektor passed through my state touring with Keane, I had the unexpected joy of seeing her perform LIVE and I must confess, it was a smashingly brilliant concert!! I wasn’t sure what to expect, but her vocals and her raw energy to perform is what has staid with me, and in two years, that makes a full 10 years since I saw her last! Her command of the stage, the diverse vocality of her range, and the experience she gives to her audience is unlike any performer I have seen prior and after this particular performance of hers! I cannot recollect which albums I brought home with me, but I have at least the first two of hers which were produced and released! I like to seek out musicians, songwriters, and artists who walk a creatively unique path in the world of sound and music, imparting a special insight into the human spirit and the joy of living our adventures!
Equally, I like to duck into the typosphere every blue moon, seeing what is new, and to keep tabs on the typewriters that are being retrofitted and restored, as its my secret dream to own a power-horse of the 1930s or 1940s (as incredibly incredible as that sounds!) to simply cart off my words and purge-pin them to paper, imparting my fictional words and my thoughts in equal blissitude! Whilst on such a sojourn tonight, I stumbled across this video that spoke to me, as much as it visually lifted my spirits due to the creative imaginative imagery that befits the song, by which Ms. Spektor gave to the world to listen with a pensive ear! This isn’t the first video out of the typosphere I’ve wanted to share with you, dear hearts, but its the first of which has made it to my blog! Laughs. Consider this a spontaneously musing post about the particulars of the unexpected hours and the joys that alight in our lives at such randomly chosen moments of discovery!
What did this evoke out of you after you listened to the words and soaked in the video!?
IF you want to follow alongside me as I make other random discoveries that are visually expressive in the format of film, please take a gander at my Bookish Films!

Visually stimulating and amazing vocals that conjure up all kinds of emotions especially in me as I remember a special song and its lyrics. The special song remembered is “We’ve Only Just Begun” by the Carpenters sung by a male vocalist we both knew mutually at our wedding. After almost 40 years of marriage this particular song still rings true in our marriage. The typewriter has always been a favorite as I learned how to type on a manual typewriter and I too would like once again to feel underneath my fingers the pivotal presence and stimulus I feel with a manual vs. electric or keypad of a keyboard on a computer. Knocking out words manually one feels each word beneath her fingers as a woodpecker knocks on wood. Thank you Jorie for reminding me of both today.
