I’ve been listening to Bob Seger. Really love listening to the song “Against the Wind”.

Him and Jackson Browne have a great sense of wanderlust in some of their music:

If you let the TV define what black is
 you think ice and violence is all we think that matters.

I guess this is what happens when rappers look up to thugs
 and kids look up to rappers.

To some of y’all if I don’t talk about the gat enough,
 or sell crack enough
 I ain’t black enough.

But I rather be a pro at being myself than be an idiot trying to be somebody else.

Every once in a while I get a hankerin’ for some good ol’ cheesy power metal, and Rhapsody (of Fire) is as good as cheesy power metal gets. This album is cool because Christopher Lee narrates some of the story. Also yeah, there’s a story.

It’s not Jimi himself, but this is pretty descent version. Hendrix’s family controls all his music and they aren’t releasing a lot of songs to youtube. In this case, I’m focusing on the lyrics more anyway.

This is exactly how I feel right now. :dancer:

Anger he smiles towering in shiny metallic purple armor
Queen Jealousy, envy waits behind him
Her fiery green gown sneers at the grassy ground
Blue are the life-giving waters taken for granted
They quietly understand
The once happy turquoise armies lay opposite ready
But wonder why the fight is on

But they’re all bold as love
Yeah, they’re all bold as love
They’re all bold as love
Just ask the axis

My red is so confident that he flashes
Trophies of war and ribbons of euphoria
Orange is young, full of daring
But very unsteady for the first go round
My yellow in this case is not so mellow
In fact I’m trying to say it’s frightened like me
And all these emotions of mine keep holding me from
Giving my life to a rainbow like you

I’m bold, bold as love
Yeah I’m bold, bold as love
I’m bold, bold as love
Just ask the axis
Yeah he knows, he knows everything
I’m bold, bold as love

A song of deep gratitude for everything. All the good, the bad, and the ugly all of which teach us lessons.

“The moment I let go of it was the moment
I got more than I could handle
The moment I jumped off of it
Was the moment I touched down”

Lyrics

How 'bout getting off of these antibiotics?
How 'bout stopping eating when I’m full up?
How 'bout them transparent dangling carrots?
How 'bout that ever elusive kudo?

Thank you India
Thank you terror
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you frailty
Thank you consequence
Thank you thank you silence

How 'bout me not blaming you for everything?
How 'bout me enjoying the moment for once?
How 'bout how good it feels to finally forgive you?
How 'bout grieving it all one at a time?

Thank you India
Thank you terror
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you frailty
Thank you consequence
Thank you thank you silence

The moment I let go of it was the moment
I got more than I could handle
The moment I jumped off of it
Was the moment I touched down

How 'bout no longer being masochistic?
How 'bout remembering your divinity?
How 'bout unabashedly bawling your eyes out?
How 'bout not equating death with stopping?

Thank you India
Thank you providence
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you nothingness
Thank you clarity
Thank you, thank you silence

Yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
