Still Flyin’ “Following The Itinerary”
Very often when someone has a profound experience, they will go on to do everything they can to recreate that experience, and almost inevitably, the transcendental magic of spontaneity and inspiration mutates into the choreographed drudgery of ritual. “Following The Itinerary” is indeed about a group of people attempting to recapture the excitement and peace of a joyful moment, but it’s so mellow and laid back that it’s hard to imagine these people accidentally having a bad time for trying too hard, or getting too bummed out if they miss their mark. Actually, just listening to this, it’s impossible to imagine that they wouldn’t have a lovely time doing whatever they’ve got planned.
