my salvation lies in your love

ever since i stumbled upon alexi murdoch’s “orange sky” last night, his album “time without consequence” has been ruling my life. the air of it, the mood, wanders straight into my soul, and i just can’t get enough. alexi builds up a relaxing feeling in his songs, and he does it slowly and meticulously, by calmly looping a short bit of the melody and letting the music just flow around it. it’s soothing, but in an important stare-at-the-ocean-and-ponder-about-life’s-big-questions kind of way.

his songs are for contemplation - simple lines of the lyrics like “don’t forget to breathe” seem like truths aimed straight at me. it is as if alexi knows the secret of life, and if i just listen carefully, he’ll sing it to me. i play the album over and over, and when i try to think of something else to listen to, everything else just seems… bleak. i’m captivated, it’s magic, and i’m not sure that i ever want it to stop.
