We barely choose anything in our lives, they merely choose us: the people we meet, the places we visit, the things we own, the thoughts we bear in our minds, the ideas we ought to realize. There is no point in trying to choose them on our own, what we need is to let them choose us.
We all have our own definitions of a particular concept, which is a fact we better keep in our mind when dealing with abstract terms. It is not easy to take this notion of relativity into account, for we can never know for certain how exactly does a particular person define a particular concept. At times we barely know how do we define the term for ourselves. People tend not to realize the relativity at all, they often consider their own private beliefs to generally valid, some sort of general truth which is the same for all. It is true that, to a certain extent, our own private definitions overlap, but they are private nonetheless and cannot be the same for any two individuals. Just as any two individuals are never the same, even though they might share some similarities. Also, our very own private definition can only develop in the context of the other people's private definitions, they are shaped by the previous and build a ground the future ones, just as they influence each other in the present.

I practically live in a bookshop, and late at night I dance dance dance in the dark,
among the books.
The instruments on Push the Sky Away create a sound landscape, a place of ruined sounds for Nick's voice to wander around in.
For what's better than to walk among the ruins?
