Your Simply Amazing Stuck in My Head Song of the Day

I can really listen to Antony and The Johnsons all day. I guess that their Man is The Baby came on my itunes this morning and it has been in my head all day as a result. I'm not sure what exactly it means and I don't think I want to, it's just so beautiful and Antony's voice is so ethereal it's devastating. I don't have much I can say, nor should I; I feel I'd be impeding- like I was muddling and ruining this air. Enjoy the lyrics:

Yearning for more than a blue day
I enter your new life for me
Burning for the true day
I welcome your new life for me
Forgive me, Let live me
Set my spirit free
Losing, it comes in a cold wave
Of guilt and shame all over me
Child has arrived in the darkness
The hollow triumph of a tree
Forgive me, Let live me
Kiss my falling knee
Forgive me, Let live me
Bless my destiny
Forgive me, Let live me
Set my spirit free
Weakness sown, Overgrown
Man is the baby

Ah, it really takes my breath away. Here's Your Simply Amazing Stuck in My Head Song of the Day- Antony and The Johnsons' "Man is The Baby"

Apocalypse 2007: "The Fire This Time" Mix

this is probably in incredibly poor taste (though if it's any type of consolation my mom is paranoid she can smell the smoke from her house.)
As I'm sure you've heard Southern California is on fire. Growing up there, there always seemed to be a few major wildfires each year so I at first didn't think this was so different but the fact that fires are ranging from basically Mexico to almost Santa Barbara is really unique and intense and really scary. I still have faith in the whole world not being consumed by flames though.
But I decided to be the first insensitive bitch to make a Fire playlist for no other reason than because the idea was in my head and I couldn't shake it. So...

Your Simply Amazing Stuck in My Head Song of the Day

There is very little that I can say to express the beauty of, or my love for Antony..and the Johnsons (but I will try in a future BBE*) so I think I won't try especially right now.
This song is so so so beautiful and the lyrics are really what I feel on those occasions when I allow myself to feel, except couched in a vocabulary that is above me with reference points I can not yet achieve. But I can sadly and completely understand what Antony means when he sings "
In my cruel life God poisoned
I was born, born
Not a girl and not a jewel
I am, I am some son
I am some bum"

Anyway this is Your Simply Amazing Stuck in My Head Song of the Day- Antony and the Johnsons (with Devendra Barnhart)'s "Spiralling"


(The song that he goes into at the end is You Are My Sister; you can watch that performance here)

such beauty... ah. good night everyone.
