Aren’t we all looking for love? A constant ringing in my ear lately has been that Jungian idea that loving someone else is easy, but loving yourself is as painful as gripping a red-hot iron. Loving someone else is an escape, but no matter how hard we try to avoid it, we eventually must return to ourselves.

I’ve written about Melbourne-based re:abel (real name Ryan Gasparini) a couple of times in the past. He sent over this bouncy lil’ roller the other day, and it’s a gem. Not overly complicated, but super infectious. Consistent with the subject matter, a brief escape to permit a little relief from the process of individuation and self actualization. No bandcamp for this one, I’m afraid, but the artist has been kind enough to let me share the mp3. Also available for streaming all over.
