It may be a foolish act to switch off all the lights at 9pm the day before a Chemistry SPA Practical, draw the curtains to the neon starless night, settle comfortably in front of the laptop and spend 96 minutes drinking in and craving for the lives that you would never get to lead, but Once is an exception. Simple, exquisite, poignant, and woven seamlessly throughout are the most beautiful songs I have heard in quite some time. It is the abrupt twists in the road, the halfhidden ivy-dressed cellar doors, the fleeting kindred spirit in flowery gumboots, that make life worth living, ain't it? Amidst this dreary droning routine that we plod out everyday, it is hard to remember and easy to forget. But, we'll have to try. We can't help but try. There would be nothing much left otherwise.

So what is there left that hasn't been thought through and verbalised already? Plenty, but I'm not about to start. Who would bother to listen anyway? It is much more uncomplicated and much less tiring to just observe and listen. The past week has been heavy. Time to sleep.
