“It was aware that it was not a ‘sir.’ It was aware that ‘sirs’ possessed complete autonomy, and drones did not.
However, the attendant had not noticed that it was a drone.
The attendant had brought to its attention that it was different.
This information was important, and was stored.”
—from “Signature”, chapter 8, by Saeru

Gin - Drew Bunting (mediafire link)
Time brought us well
Well beyond the reach of anyone
We both had won together in the rain
Still, it must come
As he stopped to light a cigarette
I walked ahead
We never were the same
And he bled dirty red wine
And I drank gin
Thus is the start of Amanda’s Music Posts - songs that you might (probably) don’t know and should totally listen to.
I’ve loved Gin for a few years now, and even though I do not know much at all about SPN, if you’re a supernatural fan you need to listen because this is one of those songs that was MADE for Sam and Dean.
Or Jin and Jei.
Man, this brings me back. I haven’t heard this song in years, now, and even though my translation extension turned half of this into Spanish I knew it instantly for what it was. Music has this odd way of bridging the gap, and making me feel like it was just yesterday that we were sitting in a McDonalds thinking up imaginary Turks. Ironic, considering what this song is about.
Keep swimming the horizon.
Oh, and watch out for unexpected Gabriels.
Ramjet never tells the truth. However, I chose to listen to Sunstorm here.
to not missing the beauty of life.
Washington, DC Metro Station on a cold January morning in 2007. The man with a violin played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time approximately. 2 thousand people went through the station, most of them on their way to work. After 3 minutes a middle aged man noticed there was a musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried to meet his schedule.
4 minutes later:
The violinist received his first dollar: a woman threw the money in the hat and, without stopping, continued to walk.6 minutes:
A young man leaned against the wall to listen to him, then looked at his watch and started to walk again.
10 minutes:
A 3-year old boy stopped but his mother tugged him along hurriedly. The kid stopped to look at the violinist again, but the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk, turning his head all the time. This action was repeated by several other children. Every parent, without exception, forced their children to move on quickly.
45 minutes:
The musician played continuously. Only 6 people stopped and listened for a short while. About 20 gave money but continued to walk at their normal pace. The man collected a total of $32.
1 hour:
He finished playing and silence took over. No one noticed. No one applauded, nor was there any recognition.
No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the greatest musicians in the world. He played one of the most intricate pieces ever written, with a violin worth $3.5 million dollars. Two days before Joshua Bell sold out a theater in Boston where the seats averaged $100.
This is a true story. Joshua Bell playing incognito in the metro station was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment about perception, taste and people’s priorities.
The questions raised:
*In a common place environment at an inappropriate hour, do we perceive beauty?
*Do we stop to appreciate it?
*Do we recognize talent in an unexpected context?
One possible conclusion reached from this experiment could be this:
If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world, playing some of the finest music ever written, with one of the most beautiful instruments ever made…
How many other things are we missing?
For all fans of Transformers Animated, please sign this and pass along.
Well, since this is my first post with my first tumbler, I thought this would be fitting.
