Mustt Mustt - slowly exploring more of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. This record was very ambient and put me in an easy mood.

There was a beating heart on stage. And now there isn't. Hansard and his music was always hanging around in my playlist throughout the last decade. There is this abrupt change in tone and mood that I crave every now and then, and his music almost always comes to my mind as a start. Never disappoints. I was hoping to see him live last year, but missed that out. The beauty of art is that it keeps giving, and we only have to let it become what it is and in turn shape our own association with it. Stitch stories with a time and a place that then eventually fades away. 

We Lost The Sea - so good, both studio and live. Great energy. I watched the documentary on David Shaw after this, and while some endeavours look pointless - there is an utmost clarity with which people go forward undertaking really dangerous missions. That needs to be respected.

Been getting into a lot of climbing and mountaineering docs. Especially the alpine style of climbing. These three documentaries were absolutely epic.

Reminds me of the lyrics to "There's no mountain" by Hansard.

But we climb it, and we scale it
And when the wind and the weather are working together
I knew that we could make it
And we see it, and we take it
We set out unready, unworthy and unsteady
For all we now leave in our wake

There’s no mountain great or small you can’t climb
There’s no mountain you can’t move or you can’t climb
