B E L T it out so that it
while releasing the anxiety in others with the tension of her own voice -
and yet...
still remain exquisite and beautiful in doing so...

ReplyDeleteYou know being there when the Beatles were young and not much older than us was amazing.In Grade 9 we would argue about which one we liked the best. I still remember being at Friday night skating with boys and hearing " I want to hold your hand" for the first time! I even remember what I was wearing.
ReplyDeleteThat just put the biggest smile on my face and the biggest frown at the same time because i wish i could have been there to experience it!
ReplyDeleteI love to hear stories like that :) That is just incredible.
When i saw Paul McCartney in concert this summer with Mike and Chani, i honestly never expected myself to react in the way that i did. I was screaming and jumping up and down without even being conscious of it. I cried like a baby! haha! When he came on stage i finally realized what Beatlemania must have felt like.
her voice is not a single tone, but a chord. it is amazing.
