years and years and years ago, i got this cd for christmas and i listened to this song over and over and over again that morning, happy dancing like a flailing child, spinning and whirling. there is a deep hope in this song. simultaneous undercurrents of massive sadness and happiness. empathy is fully present. and maybe a bit of anger too.
not my favorite video but the words in this song are just beautiful. simple, direct, eloquent emotion. there is a universal sentiment and need in this piece.
favorite line: could everyone agree that no one should be left alone?
this song makes me think of my brother.
these texts are an archive of my life in the San Francisco Bay Area from march 2007 - march 2015. it stands as a record of close to a decade of my life, charting the struggles i faced as an artist, daughter, and lover. messy and chaotic at times, eloquent and poetic at others, these texts are an index i am proud of. it was here in this electric box that i learned how to be honest about my experiences and the person i needed to become. it was here that i first learned the truism that words make the world and how to trust such a beautiful, rife, hard fact.

When I worked as a hair stylist we had a certain radio station on all the time, it was satellite radio so it was the same music play list for the most part and quite a few of songs I would just tune out, but this was one song that I always tune into, that is a beautiful lyric.
Your practice piece down there is just stunning.
