Madness of Art
 ,You are my safe place for the madness that runs crazy like wild butterflies in my mind. This journal will consist of anything that runs through my mind about anything music related. I have running ideas, images, questions and strong opinions constantly about this madness we call art. If you want to participant you can or like to read me rant you can do that too. Peace, love and chicken grease.  dedicated to my current muse for my story“A second chance! That’s the delusion. There never was to be but one. We work in the dark—we do what we can—we give what we have. Our doubt is our passion and our passion is our task. The rest is the madness of art.”- Henry James

Listening to Fiona Apple Valentine's while writing
I have been sitting here the last couple of hours listening to this song on repeat. Its been a driven inspiration for my latest chapter in which Aissa finally reveals to Michael about their child that she has lied about for 9 months. Its a bitter sweet revelation. It just pains me to write things with so much emotion and hurt. I am not sure why she could not have just been honest from the jump when she first found out she was pregnant. Anyhow, this song reminded me of their love and their relationship. Despite the madness, drama and excitement of taking part in something they know damn well they should not have in the first place, I still love these two and I am rooting for these characters. "Valentine" You didn't see my valentine I sent it via pantomime While you were watchin' someone else I stared at you and cut myself Its all I'll do 'cause I'm not free A fugitive too dull to flee I'm amorous but out of reach A still life drawing of a peach I'm a tulip in a cup I stand no chance of growing up I've made my peace I'm dead I'm done I watched you live to have my fun I root for you, I love you. You, you, you, you. I made it to a dinner date My tear drops seasoned every plate I tried to dance but lost my nerve I cramped up in the learning curve I'm a tulip in a cup I stand no chance of growing up I'm resigned to sail on through In the wake of tales of you I root for you, I love you. You, you, you, you. I root for you, I love you. You, you, you. I root for you, I love you. You, you, you, you, you, you, you. I root for you, I love you. You, you, you. Lastly, I love Fiona Apple as a songwriter. She is such a fantastic songwriter and so inspirational. |

^Opriel thanks! xxx
Been a long stressful eventful day, shedded some tears and said some prayers. I sit and think of a place other than this place. Somebody told me, "I Know where to go" Somebody showed me, I was last to know Sell me down the river Sell me down the river Sell me down the river Sell me down the river What I wanted, is what I wanted What I wanted, is what she wanted Unfriendly feelings, down on wounded knee Unfriendly reasons, some blind mothers need Sell me down the river Sell me down the river Sell me down the river Sell me down the river What I wanted, is what I wanted What I wanted, is what she wanted You read the words and it sells you life They sell there words, but it's all a lie This describes my feelings so vividly right now....sigh, Life. |

The Jacksons 1976 album continued
The Creation of "The Jacksons" 1976  By: Soul Flower By 1976 the cute Jackson boys from Gary Indiana were now young men. After seven years under contract with Motown, the Jackson's decided to move to CBS. Joe Jackson thought this venture would be beneficial for his sons because he felt they would have more artistic control. He wanted his sons to grow as artists and musicians instead of being manipulated by a label. Michael (in particular) had a very difficult time with this at first because he loved Motown, Berry Gordy and the life changing experience it made for the family. However, like with most ventures within the family, he eventually gave in and agreed. The Jackson 5 soon became known as "The Jacksons" once they moved to CBS for their 13th studio album..."The Jacksons."  Fun Fact: Jermaine Jackson decided to stay with Motown despite the family's persistance that he come with them to CBS because during this period he had just married Berry Gordy's (Motown Records Founder) daughter Hazel Gordy. Randy Jackson, the youngest brother replaced Jermaine. In this photo he is in the far left sitting under Tito.  The album was released in 1976 for Epic Records and Philadelphia International Records as a joint venture. Why does this album matter? This album was a milestone for the Jacksons and in my opinion Joe Jackson made a clever genius move. While I don't think all his business decisions were savy ones, he hit it out the park with this one. Why? Once the Jacksons moved to CBS/Epic Records it allowed them to grow as artists. No more singing bubble gum pop tunes or singing songs the label would spit out. The Jacksons NOW were in control of their own sound, image and the songs they wanted to sing and perform. Overall, this was a good move and in my opinion really helped Michael grow not only as a performer but also as an artist. Here is another fun fact: Michael Jackson wrote his first ever published song on this album "Blues Away." He was 19. Stay tuned.... Thanks Pets_ Sounds! Muah! Black Francis I have not heard that Fiona Apple album. She is an artist that I just started listening to within the last maybe 2 years. If you have any recommendations from her I would love to hear them. I love her! Last edited by Soulflower; 04-12-2015 at 03:26 PM. |
