Been listening to white noise on my iPod touch. Can’t deal with the incessant chatter of the world around me, can’t handle the pain of familiar voices and unknown quirks of speech.

Want to pretend that I am all alone and safe in the world. Want to hide behind a wall of sound so that I can be alone with my thoughts and not have to listen to morons on their cellphones or idiots in the train carriage.  Want to sit in the coffee shop and work on my blog. Wanna walk around the supermarket and pretend I’m not there.

Thank you white noise, you have saved my life. I would probably have killed myself without you.

The ethereal, twitchy soundtrack for The Day The Earth Stood Still (1951) is one of the best out there. Composer Bernard Herrmann, famous for his collaborations with Hitchcock, has created an atmospheric score good for sticking on in the background when you need to think about something, or perhaps when you want to poke your head out of the window upon an evening and contemplate your meagre existence in the scale of things as a whole.
