David Vandervelde
Heat-resistant music
Any regular visitor to this fissure in the web knows full well I like to complain about the weather. Today will be no exception.
It’s hot. Very, very hot. Excruciating, stifling, sweltering, hot. Hot. It’s too early for it to be so hot. I haven’t been able to prepare psychologically for such heat. It’s so hot, you can replace the letter “o” with an “aw” and nobody will mind, either because they will be in complete agreement with the idea of neo-spelling in order to evoke emphasis on how hot it is, or because they’ll be just too bogged down by the heat to care.
The sun is baking everything, the air is still and lifeless, the shade is mockingly weary; it is hot.
Thankfully, I have David Vandervelde to help me through this relatively rough patch of steaming discomposure, acting as a restorative breeze with his song I Will Be Fine. Ah, yes, the soothing repose of 1970s soft rock instrumentation, what with its twinkling piano, pillowy organ, fizzy percussions, and sliding guitar, trickling together so gently and exquisitely, like your favourite cocktail coolly coating your throat and spreading its refreshing influence throughout your torso. Swashed in slight, soothing echoes, you can almost taste the condensation forming around Vandervelde’s chilled-out vocals, carrying a pleasurable breeze of coziness which sails across your skin in a welcomed shiver of goosebumps.
And trust me, those goosebumps are more than appreciated today…
