      Vocal cords are fickle instruments. Just a gust of cold air, or a bit of dehydration, humidity, the time of day, even some paracetamol will totally change the way they react. And, of course, the effect of ageing.
      She handles it well though. It’a a beautiful song and she’s a great artist. It’s always very hard to hit that one note that takes 100% to get just right. Some days you just can’t muster more than 95.

      I can understand where artists come from when they want people to love all their work and not just one song.
      But I feel like if I was an artist, I’d love my one BIG song with the whole crowd cause sometimes you gotta respect what built you instead of what you built. That one big song is for the crowd and artists who don’t play their one big song are kinda selfish
      A lot of metal bands will give of playing their old shit and leave the fans high and dry when really we all want that banger off the first album :)

In modern times fathers are denigrated and dismissed as unimportant or redundant, when in fact it is the opposite. A good father is vital for children to grow into strong individuals that have a fighting chance is this world. Daughters especially get eaten up in the modern landscape without this essential guidance. Strong fathers are needed more than ever before. I wish you the best.

And they'll be elated that the brilliant blue-green mudball of spaceship Earth was not nearly destroyed by the monkeys in their too-late realization of the connected-ness we all share with stardust and potential and each other.

    One of my all-time favorites. Imgogen Heap is a most creative artist/inventor. Ariana Grande worked with her to learn to use her musical gloves to perform this song live in a charmingly sweet performance.
    I saw Imogen live in a small theater and requested Hide & Seek. She complied but said it wasn’t as good without the electronics. Though I agreed I had to say, “Sorry, loved it!” On the way out I ran smack face-to-face into the stunning Daryl Hannah and I couldn’t even stop I was still so moved by Imogen’s performance. A true polymath. I love her.

God bless You all. God bless You all that are going through rough times. if You feel like dying (remember Moby song?), just remember, please, that it's just a feeling and that You are stronger than that black hole of sorrow and disappointment inside Your beautiful soul. i hope that You will get by. i hope that You will be okay. i Love You.
