quote of the day

“the tears of the world are a constant quantity. for each one who begins to weep somewhere else another stops. the same is true of the laugh. let us not then speak ill of our generation, it is not any unhappier than its predecessors.”

-samuel beckett, waiting for godot

new york, new york

last winter i went to see ‘shame’ in the theaters, and despite the rampant nudity, glory holes, and sexual innuendos projecting off the screen—this fully clothed and melancholy rendition of the city namesake tune is what stuck in my head.  i am currently mad at new york, and have been surrounding myself with city related tunes in order to mediate those feelings.  not especially a huge carey mulligan fan, but this tear sodden version will be on many playlists for years to come. by sv
