Skeleton Tree

I took this photo a while ago, maybe months, but it is very appropriate for today! This photo is from Canan's house, of her record player and a photo with her babygirl when she was only months old. 

Canan told me that Nick Cave will be releasing his new album on September 9th, with a movie shown only once on September 8th. I hope it gets shown in cinemas in Istanbul! We are going to see it together, and I am filled with expectations about the album. What I've heard from the trailer was absolutely heart breaking and frightening; the blinding pain Cave has gone through makes me sad and excited at the same time. 

I feel guilty, for thinking of what a breath-taking and emotional album he will release for his child's death minutes after when I first heard about the accident. I am terribly sorry for his suffering; adults around me keep saying that a child's death is absolutely one of the worst. I hope it gets less excruciating over time...

In addition to -- or despite -- this, the artistic soul that is unable to stop express the high emotions never ceases to amaze me. I once read, "what is bad for the heart is good for art", so here it proves itself right again. I know this album is going to rip my heart out of my chest and stamp on it, spit on it, stab it, and then shove it back.

Awaiting.
