Full of stars

It first starts with an image becoming more sketchy, blurred. Then you really do not remember, but can still keep a kind of feeling for a long time because you worship an idealized model that keeps improving over time, from a small warm sensation to a full scale obsession with almost a religious keynote. But the contact with reality may be destructive. You really want the girl, so keep your guard.


Road lights were running both sides like in this old sci-fi scene movie he once saw as a boy. Tonight he was thinking on her, as usual, repeating endlessly the words she said to him: "They do not masturbate thinking on me, they just fuck me".
Then he throttled up suddenly as if he could just break through the reality and jump into these new brilliant worlds. How much did it hurt he thought, just like little knives puncturing his heart, and why would she tell him that? Why?
She probably didn't care, or didn't notice, or didn't mean to.
Warm tears flooded his eyes and brought a kaleidoscope of feelings and night lights. Why did she say that?
But if you run fast enough, you can leave the pain behind he remembered. So he throttled up even more to leave the pain behind. It was very strange when vibrations and noise faded away.
Then the portal came past and he saw it was full of stars.


According to the sci-fi tradition, the famous psychedelic Stargate sequence from 2001: A Space Oddysey was designed in a hotel room by Douglas Trumbull, Stanley Kubrick and Kubrick's wife back in 1968. 

Feeling's Gone is the first single from the Brooklyn based duo Beacon —Thomas Mullarney III and Jacob Gossett— and its blend of atmospheric vocals, pulsating synth layers and minimal drum beats make me think about fractured love and sex in its in crescendo.


It's yet to be explained why, but video and music combine perfectly in this run that I added to the already extensive Stargate dubbings collection for this tale.
