I took Slow Dazzle from the name of a John Cale album I love, which my first Rec was about. The words are really striking and pretty to me, the images they conjure up and just the way they sound.
It’s a slow dance disco ball, a childhood, a crashed wave rolling across pebbles, a satellite, just-poured seltzer, a plastic windmill in a soft breeze, lights in someone’s eyes, the sounds treetops make, what the moon does, melting icicles, someone patiently winning you over.
A lot of the best things dazzle slowly.
