MonoMono - Give the Beggar a Chance [VINYL LP] date 10/11/2011

Forever was a record that was written and recorded one track at a time with my husband Coley. After scrapping about 20 songs or so I had written the last few years, I wanted to get to the heart of things. I had a great talk with a friend on the phone and she mentioned she just wasn't sure where I'd been. I realized I wasn't really certain of that either. It'd been a foggy few years after 2020, and the pieces seemed to just be starting to be picked up. I had fallen in love, gotten married, had a dog, a house... things I had always dreamed of. But it took my quite some time to accept them as my life. For a bit, I felt like an outsider watching myself stumble though everything, and was constantly critiquing myself, to the point where I could hardly leave the house for a bit. But then I realized my life was passing me by, and the love I was living in required presence to accept. I started to do the little things you have to do to just show up for people listen, grow, change, write... get outside of my own problems. Time is flying, and I want to be here for it all rather than lost in my thoughts all the time. My love is forever. When I was a kid I used to say to my mom and dad InchI love you forever and alwaysInch then neurotically changed it to InchI love you forever and always and it's true and I mean itInch... because I wanted to make sure they knew how much I wasn't messing around! I still feel that way when I say InchI love youInch to anyone and hope it comes across on this record. Love y'all forever!

Joe Hisaishi / Royal Philharmonic Orchestra - A Symphonic Celebration - Music From The Studio Ghibli Films Of Hayao - Hitchock and Herrmann, Spielberg and Williams, Zemeckis and Silvestri, Burton and Elfman, Fellini and Rota. There's a certain kind of magic that happens when a director and composer work together for an extended period; their imaginations are fueled by an artistic sensibility which becomes, inevitably, entwined. Such deep understanding between two artists has proffered memorable, even legendary, cinemusical experiences. But there's another of these partnerships we must honor and mention in the same breath, that of director Hayao Miyazaki and composer Joe Hisaishi.
