D.S. & Durga &85 Diesel Candle

Description

Life seemed careless and endless – as childhood often does. This candle is an homage to that legend and smells of the air inside – so warm and dangerous. It seemed fancy to own what was once an actual luxury. If it was cold, it would not start. Lacquered chestnut paneling with puffs of burning fuel. Playlist | Liner Notes Spotify Playlist 1985 Radio mix Liner Notes In the 80s my parents drove Toyotas and Hondas. But around the corner an English woman drove the neighborhood kids to school in a 1985 300TD Benz. If it was cold, it would not start. I remember jamming into the back with 6 kids (no belts) and sitting on the springy saffron tan seat just freezing; the sweet smoke of diesel coming through the warming engine (and our color changing ski gloves). Driving around was big in my family. Life seemed careless and endless – as childhood often does. Most adults of that era found the 80s vapid and in poor taste, but man, how magic it seems to the children of the 80s. The scent was the same as I remembered. It seemed fancy to own what was once an actual luxury. It is a car of timeless elegance. It’s boxy look brings to mind all 80s movies, the Alps, and awkward fancy life that wasn’t attainable to anyone I knew in the 80s.
