The Boxer

I really wasn't going to download it
I was just going to wait until it released
but after hearing the live version of
"Everything You Wanted"



I cracked...
With that being said
After being skeptical about the outcome of the album
And Kele going solo
I must say I love this album

The only way I can describe the album is

The Psychodelicness of the music from the 60's

Mixed with the Disco music from the 70's

Throw the fearlessness of the 80's music

A little house music / the jams from the 90's that I grew up on

And finally the sounds of the future

And you get...

The Boxer

(By the way)

I'm STILL buying the album

Today In Class

We talked about...

Gerald Ford


And
Shirley Temple & "Bojangles"

LOVELESS

Prologue
When the war of the beasts brings about the world's end
The goddess descends from the sky
Wings of light and dark spread afar
She guides us to bliss, her gift everlasting
~
Act I
Infinite in mystery is the gift of the goddess
We seek it thus, and take to the sky
Ripples form on the water's surface
The wandering soul knows no rest
~
Act II
There is no hate, only joy
For you are beloved by the goddess
Hero of the dawn, Healer of worlds
Dreams of the morrow hath the shattered soul
Pride is lost
Wings stripped away, the end is nigh
~
Act III
My friend, do you fly away now?
To a world that abhors you and I?
All that awaits you is a somber morrow
No matter where the winds may blow
My friend, your desire
Is the bringer of life, the gift of the goddess
Even if the morrow is barren of promises
Nothing shall forestall my return
~
Act IV
My friend, the fates are cruel
There are no dreams, no honor remains
The arrow has left the bow of the goddess
My soul, corrupted by vengeance
Hath endured torment, to find the end of the journey
In my own salvation
And your eternal slumber
Legend shall speak
Of sacrifice at world's end
The wind sails over the water's surface
Quietly, but surely
~
Act V
Even if the morrow is barren of promises
Nothing shall forestall my return
To become the dew that quenches the land
To spare the sands, the seas, the skies
I offer thee this silent sacrifice

Confusion

Awake

Still sore from working out Saturday

Should be doing my essay on the Armenian Genocide

(Considering it's due tomorrow)

But...

Instead I find myself trying to make sense of my thoughts

It's just really weird

How I can feel a certain way

And a simple phone call can turn all my

Emotions and feelings around

I'm nowhere near sad

Just confused

Get It Girl

All Of Me

I've still never heard a song with as much emotion as this

On so many different levels, I can relate to this song

Timeless classic in my book

Unspoken Thoughts

Being reluctant can be exciting
The fear of just doing something
-
I didn’t expect those feelings to return when I saw you there
-
Blueprints are useless
-
I accepted something that I already knew

After being ambushed by
Mixed emotions, alcohol and a curious fascination
I’ve come to accept this cruel theory
-
Just stop, please. I can’t bare to hear anymore
