daeth rays staring u down
staring at the nite lights while on a long bus ride home certainly puts me in the mood for some sideways thinking. havent had the chance to actually take a such a comforting journey for quite a while, been surrounded with the white walls and grey-stained underground whenever i travel lately.
all of a sudden its really hard for me to pen anything down, its like my thoughts and compositions have just slipped away from althought they were freshly formed just a couple of hours ago.
wat i Wanted to say was i thought genius comes packed with a hefty price tag. be it the drugs, womanizing or some form of unmentionable sin, like suicide. Ray charles, lennon, ian curtis, kurt cobain, jim morrison, john frusicante. there's always this catch thats traded for unsurpressed authenticalcy(??), this side-step that sometimes oversees the entire point. Anyways, i cant think of any tragic authors nor politicians(thank fucking hell).
All this came from watching Ray yesterday and being absolutely speechless at the end, suitably captivated from start to finish(not quite tho, came in late and missed the first 5 mins, then missed the next 10 desperately trying to find R20). yeah its the typical overcoming your demons and having to deal with a tremendous amount of shit thrown in your life kind of story but then again, this one's a true one *ok wait most of such stories are based on true stories......my bad*. Its just hard to pin down wat makes it that fantastic, maybe its the acting, or the fact that jamie won an oscar, or the horribly heart-warming, fuzzy feeling that it gave me when i stepped out of the cinema. Makes u gush like some 3 year old getting tickled.
i realise i've been listening to most of the same stuff all over and over again, which is really unhealthy but i just cant seem to stop. lioke mixing things up and discovering that 'young ones' by suede followed by 'karma police' by *i'm sure this band needs no introduction* and finished off with 'tender' by blur makes a pretty potent ablum closer combo.
dun think so?
hmm...
