In my endless repeat playings of this song as of late, I've been experiencing what I can only describe as Stephen King's idea of "slippage". He refers to this phenomenon in his books several times to describe the feeling one gets when in the presence of a merging point of multiple worlds, accompanied by the foreboding feeling of a destiny in the throes of change, redirection, or ultimate obscurity. I've felt very out-of-body lately and for some reason this song has grounded me and has given my displacement and surreal mood a context. I don't know if this has anything to do with our approaching journey or not, but I feel that the world is at a powerful turning point hinging on humanity's ability to love and be compassionate towards one another. Aching, blind and persevering love paving the way to a better future.

Come Back (Pearl Jam)
My first post covering a song by my favorite band, currently, the likes of which I can only describe as a long, sloppy music-kiss. I've been stuck on this song for weeks and it's about the only one that's graced my car radio for said duration as a result. I think this one wins the award for "most romantic song ever" in the list of Kala's Personal Favorite Songs Most Ever Spectacular. If you haven't listened to the original, please do. Eddie Vedder's voice will mesmerize you.
