Jóhann Jóhannsson - Orphée (2016)

 


There's a certain amount of mourning with this recording. From the stark cover, to the opening theme, everything feels very sorrowful; almost resigning to an end of things. Everything requires an ending. Most are bittersweet, while some things you wished had ended sooner, and a small amount you wished had never happened at all. The cold weather is setting in now, followed by the snow. Every evening is now beginning at 3 PM. The sun is shinning, but from behind a dark cloud. We are healing. Slowly, and with pain, but just a little while longer before we can go back outside and start living again. This is absolutely the soundtrack in Illinois right now.
