::Age of Soul, Soul Sessions, Soul Baring::
Today I start my countdown to the day of my birth. In exactly 1 month I will finally stop being a teenager and move onto the next crappy year of my life at 20. I'm at that age where I could go and do that cool 18 and up shit, but the better crap won't happen for another year. I've missed so many grade A hip hop shows that it makes me want to cry. I'm always hearing shit like, "(Enter underground hip hop act here) is performing at the 4th & B. Too bad you can't go." Then I get pissed and say, "Well fuck you too! Why don't you help yourself to a can of chinga tu madre on the table?" But oh well, it'll be worth the wait.
Right now I can't get enough listening enjoyment from a CD I purchased recently. If you're into soul, I highly recommend that you check out Joss Stone. I wouldn't really consider this album her debut because they're all covers, but you get a little taste of her talent. Check out "Soul Sessions". Joss' voice is powerful and beautiful. She's such a soul sister that soul musicians who've been in retirement came back to help with this album, that's what I call talent! Little Beaver came on to play guitar and she had Latimore on the ivories. Top that off she had Betty Wright help produce tracks and do backup vocals. We're talking about the original "Clean-Up Woman"!!! That line up is just FANTASTIC. The song I like the most on that album is her rendition of Joe Simon's, "Chokin' Kind". Eh, if you look down at my last post, my random blurb is some of the lyrics from that song. That CD really touches on all the emotions I've been going through lately.
I fell in love with someone almost 5 years ago. I've had people tell me, "It couldn't have been love, you were only 15!" For those of you who know me and that person, what else could it have been? What else could it be? Our love is unconditional and forgiving. But right now, it's also in a lot of trouble. I don't want to issue an ultimatum or make demands because that's not fair. I just want him to make up his mind about us. This has been an underlying issue for about a year and a half. It just hurts so bad. It's like that Lauryn Hill song, "Ex-Factor" or even her song, "When it Hurts so Bad". *sigh* I just need emotional relief. That's all I need right now. That's all...
Random Blurb: I need to find peace of mind. It's a never ending quest.
