My day started at 6:15AM, which has been rather unusual lately, but it made me realize how much I love being awake before the rest of the world. A bike ride to the gym in the rain and just being 'aware' knowing most of the people are still in bed gave me some sense of comfort and peacefulness.

This whole picture was perfectly enhanced by kerri's new track "Neighbourhood Blues" featuring Still Haze (released via nourish). The indie / electronica mellowness is one of the most subtle, gentle and intimate tracks I've heard in forever. I love how the guys incorporate bits and pieces from various genres including r&b and future beats. The glitchy-ness of the whole composition is the cherry on the top and it makes this my next obsession.

"The song is about putting all your heart into a relationship and not knowing what would happen if it ended"

I guess we can all relate to that. The feeling of scary, but beautiful fear of the unknown. I guess those are the cases where you know you care about the other person - it's a feeling of utter and blind trust.
