♫ Light of the Seven

Winter is Coming 

"I do things because they feel good. I drink because it feels good. I killed my husband because it felt good to get rid of him. I fuck my brother because it feels good to feel him inside me. I lie about fucking my brother, because it feels good to keep our son safe from hateful hypocrites. I killed your High Sparrow and all his little sparrows, all his leptons, all his septa, all his filthy soldiers, because it felt good to watch them burn. It felt good to imagine their shock and their pain. No thought has ever given me greater joy."  - Cerise to Septa Unella

♬ Frank's Track

The rings all ring out
Burn out, cave in
Blackened to dark out
I'm mixed now, fleshed out
There's light with no heat
We cooled out, it's cool out
Life is precious
We found out, we found out
We found out

♫ Pretty Bird

… Pretty bird, pretty bird, pretty bird, pretty bird
Sounds so pretty when you cry
Pretty bird, pretty bird, pretty bird, pretty bird
You're so pretty, but why I never see you #fly?

Pretty bird, pretty bird, pretty bird, pretty bird
Please don't die, please don't die
Pretty bird, pretty bird, I know your hurtin'
Well so am I, so am I
Pretty bird, pretty bird, pretty bird, pretty bird
Please don't cry, you can #fly ...

Dope.

A Change Is Gonna Come

A_Change_Is_Gonna_Come.mp3 Listen on Posterous

I was born by the river in a little tent
Oh and just like the river I've been running ever since
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will

It's been too hard living but I'm afraid to die
'Cause I don't know what's up there beyond the sky
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will

I go to the movie and I go downtown
Somebody keep telling me, "Don't hang around"
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will

Then I go to my brother
And I say, "Brother, help me please"
But he winds up knockin' me
Back down on my knees

Oh there been times that I thought I couldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will

Mr.TramueL is a Musicophile ... Aloe Blacc "Good Things"

I was first introduced to Mr. Blacc’s music through what I believed to be a McDonald’s dollar menu commercial. You may have seen it on Centric, it truly sounds like a McDonalds commercial in support of their dollar menu. “I Need A Dollar” is the lead song from Good Things, as the tune played I heard a familiar, soulful voice that immediately grabbed my attention. What I found was that it was not an infomercial but a “Spotlight” as Centric Selects / Featured Artist. In any event, it put to mind the Coca-Cola Commercial featuring Tyrese, where he has on headphones and really feels the music or him-self and begins singing aloud. I tried that once but when I opened my eyes instead of thunderous applause I got a bunch of gas faces.

The music is very soulful, reminiscent of greats from the past. Mr. Blacc, born Egbert Nathaniel Dawkins III is hailed by many as "the voice of the recession" … I’m neither a music critic or reviewer but a fan so I will leave that for the Music Bloggers & Editorials. There is however an undeniable conscious; a political soul that truly reflects our current state.

Working soo much I keep missing the most important calls in the world.

Chico DeBarge - Love Still Good

Love Still Good by Chico Debarge Listen on Posterous

Is the love still good (Still good, baby)
Is the love still good (Still good, baby)
Still good, baby (You gotta know)

You know I'm free
Out on parole
Just got my papers, honey
I'm really home

So what's going on, suga
How is your life, baby

It's so good to be back
You're still fine as the day we met
Oh, I heard you got babies, that's cool
Do they play at the park where we used to make love after dark

Is the love still good
Is the love still good (Still good, baby, uh)
Still good, baby (You know, you wanna know, baby, oh oh)
(Still good, baby, baby)

I didn't know
I was your first
I was your soldier, baby
Everything real

But you found another
And I understand, lover
'Cause I lost my brother
From the war on drugs

Got so much, baby
I could offer you
I'm a man, not the boy that I was
So why gamble with life in the streets when I got you at home, baby

Is the love still good (Oh, baby)
Is the love still good (Still good, baby)
Still good, baby (Wanna know, baby, gotta know, baby)

Ooh
Hey ey
Still good, baby
Is love still good, babe

Is the love still good (Still good, baby)
Is the love still good (Still good, still good, baby)
Still good, baby (Tell you that, still good, baby, still good, baby)

I remember back in the day
We used to vibe around the way
You told me you loved me, wish I had stayed
Right there in your arms underneath the stars

We still made beautiful love
Every night, every day
We would wake up
To a brighter morning, baby

You were here for me
Why did you walk out on me, baby
When I went down
When I went down, baby

I still remember every night in your basement
There in the dark, we made love
Your lovin' was so sweet, reminiscin'
We got much time, baby, to catch up, oh, lady
So let's take our time, baby

Get to know each other all over again
I'm not the same boy, I'm a man, lady lover
Oh, lover, lover
Oh, baby, do you still wind it up like you used to back in the day
