Music: Fever Ray, When I Grow Up

Art: unknown

There's that first day when you step outside, and the cold does not bite at your neck;

some people think of spring, but me,

I always think of water.

Two works I love deeply.

Hermaphroditus by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, 1620.

Crouching Nude, Back View, by Egon Schiele, 1917.

One of my favorite movements of any sonata ever: 3rd of Beethoven Appassionata. Interpreted here by Valentina Litsitsa.

I just watched Roman Polanski's The Pianist for the first time.

Here's the piece Adrien Brody's character plays for the German soldier: Chopin Ballade No. 1 in G minor.
