Wake Up
The stories songs tell are often as dull and gray as the words that were jotted down. This song, however, has colored its story by making the music also have something to tell. The lyrics, together with the seamlessly changing melodies, and the passion of musicians creates a wonderfully bright fabric, despite the depressing thread the song takes.
Poor David Bowie. His heart attack was not kind to him. Admittedly, he looks better these days, but it's still is a tragedy to think how old he truly is, and listening to him sing this song makes my heart ache.
Listening to: The Good, the Bad, and the Queen's History Song. I'm sort of on a Damon Albarn kick these days.
Eating: a Kit Kat bar.
Class was: suitably educational.
Doing: nothing, actually.
