Pour a glass....

... of fine Italian red and loose yourself in this...


Glory Box by Portishead is a song to put you in the mood, whatever that may be...

It is featured in one of my favourite films, Bertolucci's 'Stealing Beauty' and for me it oozes melancholy and sensuality... I will always think of Firenze when I hear it; olive groves, siestas and warm nights.

I travelled to Tuscany in 2003 and played it on repeat during my time there. I remember the bus ride through the region, discman in lap, listening to this as we drove past the rolling hills and villas, monasteries and valleys.

I holds such a special place for me.
