Life Was Different Then...

I talked with my Grandmother Graciela one sunny afternoon in El Salvador, and through her tales, I caught a glimpse of how much the world has changed within a single human lifetime.
A lot has been gained
in comfort and sophistication and technological power
but what has been lost may be so grand and beautiful and subtle
that only a few mourners will show up for the final farewell.
Have a brief and blurry look at a world that was already fading before most of us opened our eyes for the very first time.

very cool bro. love the music as always. gramdma is uber cool! definitely archetypal:) it gives you the image of just before the cities began expanding and eating everything around, all life that once was. there's something almost esoteric in feel to the plane never coming. the part about "el dia de las tinieblas" was super eerie. a whole town taking part on an invocation of shadows. the story about the farmers shooting and chasing,then an adventure, now a crime. life with different forces.
