That little black dress
is such a hot mess
full of youth, beauty, and rage. Tattered old shoes,
dancing the blues,
just trading her troubles away.
She'll give you her hand,
make you feel like a real woman or man,
But you better understand,
she's just dancin until the music fades.
It's about laughter not lust,
and her truest expressions of love...
are for the music the DJ plays.
Feel free to feel touched
But watch those hands,
Thank you much
She's not giving anything away
You might sway and body roll
But there's no tally of things owed
Once the music fades
We're all trying to let the world disappear
And express our joys and fears
Through the music played
So take her hand and enjoy
You lucky girl or boy
DJ turn it up & press play

Perhaps as good a classification as any of the main types is that of the three lusts distinguished by traditional Christianity - the lust of knowledge, the lust of sensation, and the lust of power. |
| David Edwards |
You play a 'lowdown dirty shame slow and lonesome, my mama dead, my papa across the sea I ain't dead but I'm just supposed to be' blues. You can take that same blues, make it uptempo, a shuffle blues, that's what rock n' roll did with it. So blues ain't going nowhere. Ain't goin' nowhere. |
| Michael C. Hall |
Ultimately, I'm a mess. I don't mean I'm a mess, like, emotionally - I mean, I think probably everybody's a mess. David's a mess. But. I'm talking about... I'm messy. |

I think the blues is fine for blues players, but free blues has never made much sense to me. |
| Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |
For age is opportunity no less Than youth itself, though in another dress, And as the evening twilight fades away The sky is filled with stars, invisible by day. |
| Audrey Hepburn |
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mode but the true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives the passion that she shows. The beauty of a woman grows with the passing years. |

I've heard there are troubles of more than one kind; some come from ahead, and some come from behind. But I've brought a big bat. I'm all ready, you see; now my troubles are going to have troubles with me! |

Life can be lived at a remove. You trade in futures, and then you trade in derivatives of futures. Banks make more money trading derivatives than they do trading actual commodities. |

You don't have to play a whole lot of guitar to be a good blues player. Some people plays too much guitar. Stack it on top of each other the way it don't - you're working too fast. Blues not supposed to be played fast. Blues supposed to be played slow. You could kill a man with just one chord. |
| David Edwards |
You could play the blues like it was a lonesome thing - it was a feeling. The blues is nothing but a story... The verses which are sung in the blues is a true story, what people are doing... what they all went through. It's not just a song, see? |

I feel like I used to use music-induced mania to write code. That doesn't sound like a real thing but there were for sure kinds of music that were new to me that helped me code. All my music feels old and predictable now. It does not give the same effect.

ill respond to your question tomorrow when im not going to bed but i wanted to pop on to say that he told me god wanted him desperately to relay these messages to me. and that i have an important role with the youth and also that I had a decision to make soon to live with the truth or forever live in ignorance. the stuff with the youth resonated 100& with my music and again, it just clicked. perhaps my music is a conduit of god to share the message. and empower us because everything is before us we just need to ask.

What's the deal with Christmas music? People should play music for all of the holidays equally. Like, why aren't they playing Halloween music or Thanksgiving music? #everybodydeservestobeloved #endholidaydiscrimination

From a post in 2015 from me: (Nine- Make or Take)
through everything going on in our lives, hip hop has always been there to provide hope, even where there may not be any. I have a very deep love for the art and the craft, and the act of creating it has helped me and many of my close friends find our way in this life and stay way from worse predicaments when we are truly focused on our work. if we relate this to a grander scale, it provides us access to higher levels of our selves and consciousness, specifically the 5th density or the creation density. , where we are wholly the architects for our lives and those around us- providing a blueprint for others that are on the same path to understanding in hopes that we can give them something to learn from and use in their lives to build towa...

Algorithmic Analysis Shows That Pop Music Is Sadder and Angrier Than Ever
BBC Culture reports -- with some neat graphs in the article -- on two different scientific studies that both found that chart-topping pop music has been getting steadily sadder and angrier since the 1950s, and that both song lyrics and the musical tone in hit songs are sadder, more fearful, and angrier than ever before in history. Lior Shamir of Lawrence Technical University found the following trends in his algorithmic analysis of Billboard Hot 100 hit song lyrics: "Expressions of anger and disgust roughly doubled over those 65 years, for instance, while fear increased by more than 50%. Remarkably, today's songs are even more aggressive and fearful than in punk's heyday. One probable reason for this is the growin...

okay so like the epilogue music for fmab composed by akira senju is in fact the best, very best piece that captures the full character of the music throughout the show, and really feels like you're looking back to see how far you've come to overcome a life-or-death problem and saved the world.
it's those crescendos you just can't stop. the recapitulating motif that once accompanied a grieving soul, now with sunrays filling the spaces between the shadows

I feel like everything but the core algorithms that drive a program is just meaningless, kinda arbitrary glue logic. There's very little real beauty there.
Is that why for every 1 system architect there are about 50 code monkeys?
