when the music tells a thousand stories

its become very clear to me of late....
how much i listen to not only a beat of a song, but i am incredibly influenced by lyrics......
how much of a song can you relate to yourself?
how much of the artists experiences and life resonates with the people that listen to their music?

is it an artists goal to do this? to have their lyrics resonate so soundly to people that listen? or are they just using their joy, pain, fear and anguish as inspiration for their words, hoping someone will listen?

There seems to be an odd number of break up songs springing up all around the traps at the moment..... As a sucker for a good tune, and a victim of heart break, I unashamedly admit to listening to Adele's Someone Like You on high rotation, and do not even get me started on Gotye/Kimbra's Someone That I Used To Know................
would i like these songs without such emotion driven lyrics? ........ had i heard these at a time when i was blissfully happy would they have the same effect?

i guess that is anyones guess.........

all i know is, my notebooks don't lie.......... im a sucker for a good lyric.....

and im glad we are back to the times when people openly convey their life experiences into beautiful poetry........ the door is officially closed on the dark days of music.... the 90's ......

?

where
when
why

are you?
are you going?
do you believe in everything, but yourself?

how do you measure...... success.... happiness......?  what is contentment?

how

do you feel?

i never knew you... the cracks are deeper on empty plates......

It has been said that the great events of the world take place in the brain. It is the brain that the great sins of the world take place also

You know more than you think you know, and less than you want to know

Never marry a woman with straw coloured hair, because they are so sentimental



yes please

get over your hump day
watch and listen
and realise life is pretty good.........

silent disco

I was lucky enough to be invited as my mates plus one to an amazing play at the stables theatre in
kings cross tonight.
Lachlan Philpott's Silent Disco isn't exactly a title that gives the viewer any idea of what this play is about.
I went with no expectations, no pre-conceived ideas and no pretense.... just excited for some freebies to the theatre.....
What I witnessed however,  was a truly haunting and mesmerising performance, by four amazing actors.

Meyne Wyatt (Squibb) with Sophie Hennser (Tamara)

The performers were outstanding, the script amazing, and the set, minimalistic brilliance..... It tackled incredibly intense subject matter such as racism, over sexualisation of teenagers, and the desperate plight of the high school teacher, trying to educate disadvantaged youth into believing they are worth more than their history suggests. 

Runs till the 4th June 2011.... do yourself a favour and check it!

likes and loves, my thoughts and day dreams... and just how crazy my mind is!
