Ocean and Beyond
In Bloom – Sturgill Simpson
7 November 2017
This week’s track is a cover of Nirvana’s In Bloom, which appeared on the Nevermind album. I really loved Nirvana for years, and am still very fond of their music. Not unusual, I was an angry, bored and trouble making teenager, looking for an outlet and escape from my reality. The emotion expressed through the raw sound of Nirvana consistently gave me a way to release some angst without really dealing with it – awesome. The first album I ever owned was In Utero – awesome.
Erin, a Mother of 1 little man and wife to 1 big man has learnt much about herself in the past few years. After moving from the city to the bush (near the Ocean), there weren’t as many distractions as she had become accustomed to, in a smaller community she lost her anonymity and slowly began to become aware of herself, her feelings, the life she had created for herself and her relationships with others. Seeking change from the feelings and behaviours which had become her normal, she sought out methods to do just that. Slowly at first, then a bit more and a bit more she is becoming aware of what she actually wants for herself and has begun removing the things that aren’t that, inside and out. Learning about faith (not religion:-)), fun and how to be gentle with herself and others along the way.
