THE REVIEW
Hot. Through the window in the distance, colorful air-conditioned microwave ovens speed across a blistering black rope.
I open the wardrobe confidently and dive inside.
Tranquility.
Simple melodies like a fresh breeze on the face, perfumed with green and blue.
They smell of innocence, simplicity, childhood, white linen dresses. They smell of the fresh vegetable soup my mother made, my dog's gaze, of ring-around-the-rosy and smiling nursery rhymes.
Tranquility.
Guitar and vocal enchantment.
It takes very little to make peace with oneself and the world. A little infinity like an unrepeatable moment.
Meanwhile, now far away, the colorful air-conditioned microwave ovens continue their race.

Vashti Bunyan
British singer‑songwriter associated with the UK folk tradition. Her 1970 debut Just Another Diamond Day—produced by Joe Boyd with arrangements by Robert Kirby—was initially overlooked, later becoming a cult classic.

You are their love with crossed arms perhaps waiting for just a diamond that brightens your entire life, maybe just for a day.
The spells are unique, they never have an end and are just a memory to tell.
