For the 12th Episode of PonderBeat, Laurie Brown seems to take us on an exploration of the self. The collection begins with Bells Larsen’s “People Who Mean So Much To Me”, a song that looks at how the people in our lives end up shaping us down the road. An interesting image to pair with the new song from Lowell, “Guess I’m Going To Hell”, which sees the speaker throw their hands up and go it alone.
And when life and self are both changing drastically, Mike Edel’s “domino” sees the positives even if one finds themselves continually falling over like a domino. Yet, should one keep falling, and falling, and falling, they’d land right into Living Hour’s “No Body”, a place that’s here yet far away…another dimension where everything looks different and is kind of…floaty. Outer body even? And on the other end of that spectrum, Tamino’s “Fascination” brings us right back in on an introspective ride into the vulnerability of oneself.
At this point in the tracklist, we’re ready to get out of our own heads and break the status-quo. Both Pip Skid’s “You’re Not The Boss Of Me” and Tami Neilson’s “Careless Woman” tear down some walls and don’t give a shit about it.
As we come to the end of the playlist, we try to look at others and ourselves from a different perspective. In “Lydia Wears A Cross”, Julia Jacklin seems fascinated with the way in which the pageantry of a religion can intoxicate and define someone, and Reuben and the Dark’s “Coming Like A Storm” looks at the self from another set of eyes, and nothing makes sense.
Now, should you have not already thoroughly explored multiple facets of the self by this point, perhaps you just need to macro-dose on the melting qualities of the Timothy Leary-esque Yves Jarvis track, “On The Line”. That should help…I’m told.
