I sing all the time. Music is my language... I'm always looking to expand my vocabulary. This blog is an outlet for my musical chatter.
Oh irony. Je t'aime. I love Robin Hobb's Fool. I've gone on and on about him before in previous places and online space so I won't go into detail here. Anyway, the Fool says to Fitz "I have never been wise" and it's a loaded message... I think to say "I have ever been true to you, been the Fool" and the other implication?

I'd like to play cheerful music... but this at the moment speaks too well. Ane Brun has a distinctive voice that I enjoy singing along to. It's simple and though not entirely attractive or melodic... it's rich and raw.

The title of her post was "This is Our Last Goodbye" so in honour of that...
