the booklovers

divine comedy nin promenade albümünden inanılmaz güzellikte bir şarkı. neil hannon isimleri okur, çoğunlukla irlandalı komedyen sean hughes, bazılarına da kayıtlar sırasında stüdyoya girip çıkan insanlar cevap verir. baştaki ses funny face filminden audrey hepburn..

dinlerken sihirli aynaların içinde kalmış gibi oluyorsunuz, büyüyüp küçülen, daralıp genişleyen bir şeyler var şarkıda..
kendinize bi' iyilik yapın, bulun bi' yerlerden, dinleyin.. *

"this book deals with epiphenomenalism, which has to do with consciousness as a mere accessory of
physiological processes whose presence or absence... makes no difference... whatever are you
