Kristin Asbjørnsen - Slow Day

“The cats sleep it off, the dogs don’t bark”. After a heavy night of dancing and partying I often have this type of day where it’s a “slow day moving into a slow night.” Kristin’s music and vocals accent these words of bukowski perfectly. “The walls just stand there and the doors don’t open.”

As a young man I was always afraid some composer would come along and try to perform the jazz beats of bukowski in a classical manner, simply because buk would mention the classics he was hearing on the los angeles radio station as he wrote. “There’s nothing even dying, it’s just more waiting.”

Kristin chose the correct approach = modern music for a modern thinker. I thank her so much for creating a work of beauty for a man of beauty. “Tomorrow’s never gonna come and when it does it’ll be the same damn thing.” Shoutout for My Garden “pain is flowers blooming all the time.” Kristin Asbjørnsen
