Brief glimpses of beauty

Just the other day I was thinking
about the idea of a soundtrack for the film of my life,
the songs that refuse to be forgotten, with which I was totally obsessed at a given time.
The earliest one is Roy Orbison's "It's Over", on a hot sunny day driving along the sandy road down to the beach at Croy Shore in the back of a dark blue Anglia listening to a blue and silver wireless.

About Jonas Mekas:

"
In 2001, he released a five-hour long diary film entitled "As I Was Moving Ahead, Occasionally I Saw Brief Glimpses of Beauty", assembled by hand from an archive of fifty years worth of recordings of his life. "
