Jon Hopkins – Abandon Window
Jon Hopkins:
‘Abandon Window’ is a track that was actually written about the tsunami and earthquake in Japan (2011). It was through a special compilation that donated money (‘For Nihon’) to that, then I rerecorded it for this record.
It’s quite morbid subject, it’s about escaping from life.
If you’re crushed under buildings, the point at which you give up and just float away is the inspiration for that track really, trying to image that feeling when your soul escapes.

Quote of the Week
“The way to find out about happiness is to keep your mind on those moments when you feel most happy, when you are really happy – not excited, not just thrilled, but deeply happy.
This requires a little bit of self-analysis.
What is it that makes you happy?
Stay with it, not matter what people tell you.
This is what we call following your bliss.”
~ Joseph Campbell

Quote of the Week
To understand the heart and mind of a person, look not at what he has already achieved, but at what he aspires to.
~ Kahlil Gibran
Do not go gentle into that good night
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
~ Dylan Thomas (1914 – 1953}
Quote of the Week
Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it.
Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.
~ Matthew 7:13-14 (NKJV)
