We often perch up at night and watch vintage Sesame Street and other such madness on youtube. At the moment the hands down favouite is Orange Sings Carmen. I remember it from my childhood and was delighted to come across it again. I used to wander around the house singing it and am enjoying revisiting it and what it brings up for me. I can actually really feel my childhood watching this. I remember watching every detail as a child, feeling the the textures , smelling the orange. The petal eyelashe are just wonderful.... I can remember how I saw things differently, really looked at things like this without other stuff going on in my mind. Being an adult and watching stuff is so different. It makes me wonder if the way children are so tranfixed by watching something is because they are just totally present with it, enjoying minute details that adults so often miss.... Or zoning out like we often think they are, anyway ramble over.
