As long as you’re dancing, you can
break the rules.
Sometimes breaking the rules is just
extending the rules.
Sometimes there are no rules.

Antony and the Johnsons – Cut the World.
Originally composed for Robert Wilson’s play “The Life and Death of Marina Abramović. (From Wikipedia: Abramović’s work explores the relationship between performer and audience, the limits of the body, and the possibilities of the mind.)
Haunting, melancholy, bleak to say the least.
Also beautiful (as Antony’s songs often are).

New from Fiona Apple from her upcoming album:
Looking forward to hearing more of the album (and a little sad I never made it to the Watkin’s Family Hour or a Jon Brion night at Largo at the Coronet in LA to see her live).
