The year just changed, and I - unlike so many other Finns - was able to celebrate the change of the year while being entirely sober. And it was rather fun. Saw some old friends, then came home to shoot some rockets and met some neighbors and so on.
And right now I'm listening to Theodore Shapiro's Suite from the Devil Wears Prada. The part from about 03:20 to 03:50 is just brilliant. It starts with a transition via strings to drums and guiter, which are subtle and in the background, but move the entire thing forward. Along in the background is a woman humming, which gives it an eery and airy atmosphere. But the thing I'm absolutely in love with is the piano, which complements the background in an unbelievably elegant but yet so simple way. The humming and piano alternate short periods of time. One can't do justice to it by attempting to complement it verbally. The segment moves on at a decent pace, but is by no means aggressive. I feel like this could be a good tune to set the overall theme of the year. Opportunity. Achievement. Movement. Comfort from solitude. Freedom.
