Sarah Blasko's 'Luxurious'


Listening to Sarah Blasko's 'Luxurious' is a unique pleasure. Her music gives chills with her haunting voice, that drifts over deep and symbolic lyrics; it is a hallmark that makes her one of my favourite artists (not to mention that for some reason her video for "All I Want" reminds me a bit of Mongolia which makes me very happy). Nevertheless, while Luxurious has taken a unique turn I love it no less.

Luxurious' lyrics are very simple; they may be taken at face value, yet no sincerity is lost. Sarah sings this one with a fuller voice, and has a velvety abstract video reminiscent of old computer visualizers of the 90's. Doesn't the song sound... indigo? (if that makes any sense).

Sarah writes poetic lyrics often about more complex ideas and isn't afraid of touching on and expressing even very sad emotions. but the contentment portrayed in these simple words speaks of a profound type of love and happiness.

In cases where people do not believe happiness can be deep, sadly they have simply never had the profound experience of true happiness.

Reality is like the gravity that keeps us down on level ground. Instinctively "depth" means digging down, but beyond the imaginations of many people have learned to fly, deep into the sky, even to outer space.

As an artist, Sarah Blasko is a free spirit who has mastered artistic expression of deep, sincere feelings, and with Luxurious gives us as listeners a taste of profound happiness.
