Ear Worm
Jack Kerouac has said that what you feel will find its own form. Music is a shape-shifting medium, as proven by the genre-straddling Australian musician Gotye. This song has been stuck in my head all week, inspiring me to look beyond established forms and find my own way of saying what needs saying. Just look at the odd little keyboard he plays. What is that thing, even? Oh, but how the whole of this song moves me to string together things that don’t necessarily belong.
