Where is my mind?

Well shipmates, you are in for a little treat. Here is a hauntingly beautiful piece of music by Maxence Cyrin ingeniously matched to scenes from the film ‘The mysterious Lady’ (1928) with Greta Garbo. The music, I later discovered, is a cover of a 1980’s song ‘Where is my mind?’ by the Pixies. If you check out the original Pixies version you will be amazed at the genius of Cyrin in transforming it into this subtle and entirely new little masterpiece. The music is from Cyrin’s new album ‘Novo Piano’. Enjoy.

Thanks for this little masterpiece. I knew the original song from the Pixies but this variation is really lovely and very relaxing. It fits the images perfectly ;-)

Nevertheless, take a look at the songtext of the original song, it's great as well :-)
