**Synaesthesia: The Rip - Portishead**

Some tracks are so deeply visual that I suspect the artist experiences sound in a similar way.

The guitar melody in this song feels like a thick, bubbling black river of oil, slowly flowing. And then, at 2:12, a sheet of light gray, grainy asphalt emerges diagonally from that darkness.

But then Beth Gibbons sings:
“Wild, white horses
They will take me away.”

A complete contradiction! But what if you superimpose those two images? White horses struggling to emerge from the sticky black mass, climbing via the gray surface. A breathtaking visual composition that I, unfortunately, can never truly show anyone.

Continued thread

Years ago my flatmates, a friend and me tried to record a version of #Roads when a former flatmate visited.
We never came close, but it was a fun evening.

BTW: It was only some month ago that I realized:

Roads <--> (Fender) Rhodes

Compleanno importante per #BethGibbons. E non è che sottovaluto la sua produzione come solista. È che se posso godere della perfezione, perché accontentarmi del molto buono? #Portishead - Glory Box Live At Roseland NY ( Best Audio) - Invidious - youtu.be/MnMTK8EdsOc?si=vJiatv #music
