harry/louis - sink into the edges round you {mix}
I know I said I'd write, but things have been a bit...hectic lately. I mean, even this mix took around three months to complete, and that's saying a lot. it's only 12 songs! but yes, just another musical take on these two and their beautiful scary relationship. Heavily influenced by the following quotation, because I am in a Wojnarowicz phase that won't end too soon. Enjoy!
“When I put my hands on your body on your flesh I feel the history of that body. Not just the beginning of its forming in that distant lake but all the way beyond its ending. I feel the warmth and texture and simultaneously I see the flesh unwrap from the layers of fat and disappear. I see the fat disappear from the muscle. I see the muscle disappearing from around the organs and detaching iself from the bones. I see the organs gradually fade into transparency leaving a gleaming skeleton gleaming like ivory that slowly resolves until it becomes dust. I am consumed in the sense of your weight the way your flesh occupies momentary space the fullness of it beneath my palms. I am amazed at how perfectly your body fits to the curves of my hands. If I could attach our blood vessels so we could become each other I would. If I could attach our blood vessels in order to anchor you to the earth to this present time I would. If I could open up your body and slip inside your skin and look out your eyes and forever have my lips fused with yours I would. It makes me weep to feel the history of your flesh beneath my hands in a time of so much loss. It makes me weep to feel the movement of your flesh beneath my palms as you twist and turn over to one side to create a series of gestures to reach up around my neck to draw me nearer. All these memories will be lost in time like tears in the rain.” (David Wojnarowicz)

and I fall/into your breathing/I inhale all you speak/when I'm sleeping/in my rise I'll be giving/all the things that I hide/when I'm feeling you
11. purity ring - fineshrine
listen closely, closely to the floor/emitting all its graces through the pores/you make a fine shrine in me
12. the xx - together
I said it's been a long time/since someone looked at me that way/it's like you knew me/and all the things I couldn't say
