Moonface's 'Quickfire, I Tried' is the song of the year. I'm calling it now.
Especially because I just learned that the opening line to the song is a reference to Rainer Maria Rilke's Letters to a Young Poet. Which I read twice on my trip East. Once on the plane ride there. Once on the ride back.
Oh!
Oh my.
I find it hard to express the things it made me capable of expressing.
Collingwood says that we know an artist is expressing himself because he makes us express ourselves.
And my god Rilke expresses intense things and I feel like I expressed them right along with him.
I plan on doing some writing about it.
It fits in surprisingly well with a lot of my thinking about aesthetic/historical morality.
