Landshapes, "Ader"

You know how sometimes people say of something, “It’s not going to change your life or anything, but it’s fine”? Why is the default assumption always that life-changing is good? I mean, I am completely on board with the sentiment that life is essentially terrible, but if there’s anything we should have learned by now it’s that not only can things get worse, that is generally the only direction toward which change moves. Let’s not kid ourselves that change is good. In fact, “not going to change your life” should be something that you run to with open arms and grab hold tight, because if it is something that promises to keep things from getting even the tiniest bit more terrible you want to keep that fucker as close to you as anything you’ve ever embraced so far in your sorry-ass existence. Anyway, Landshapes is a new one to me, and this song is not going to change your life, but it almost certainly won’t make things worse and you might even enjoy it a little bit. So enjoy.
