Dali, then and now



Released in the year of my birth, found by me almost two decades later. My first contact with the band was through this song and for one reason or another my mind was receptive and approved of what the ears perceived. In many of their songs, I cannot but marvel at how well Kim Deal's bass lines and David Lovering's drumming work together. The end result is very complete and wholesome, would be even without the guitars and vocals.

Lack of lyrics, however, would be a sad thing, for in many cases they are what make me return to this music. For only a glimpse at Un Chien Andalou during a lecture was needed for this to start playing in my head. Little did the 16-year-old me know that one day I might even sport a moustache resembling that of one Salvador.

Every morning upon awakening, I experience a supreme pleasure:
that of being Me
