Living with passion - it is the truest form of courage. Far easier to blend in, play dumb, compromise etc. - trouble is you can compromise yourself out of existence!Finally got my new k.d. lang cd in the mail this week - pre-ordered the first day that option came available (number one groupie..... yeah!) LOL.
Wow - it was worth the wait; and anticipation is good fuel for passion; my grandma would call it "courting". I hear a lot of what I initially loved about k.d. and her music (1980s - 90s!) on this album - the quirkiness, nostalgia, pure vocal range and (of course), personal passion! Nothing fake, no preservatives, no B.S.- just her unmatched talent and a whole lotta va-va-voom with the SBB.
I drove around the evening after I got this album, shopping for Easter nibblin's and such, and the sun was setting, and the sky was this surreal cocktail of cotton candy pink, lavender and denim blues - with k.d. in my head, I was floating peacefully along, all senses completely satisfied and happy, bubbling happy.
A nice bonus... if you pre-ordered the cd you got an autographed I Confess lyrics sheet from k.d. -- her signature is in some kind of horkin' Jiffy marker (WTF?), but it's that bit of fun and unexpected quality that makes me love it all the more. So.... still listening, still humming; connected to beauty straight from the heart of creativity.
