Poetic Justice

I absolutely looooove this Video... I just saw it for the first time on Saturday and since then have probably watched it 10 times and counting. Kendrick Lamar is one of the reasons I started this blog. Lyrics, lyrics and more lyrics.  The cinematography of the video is just as poetic as the song. I especially like the slow motion shots and how they reverse a little bit and then continue. I thoroughly enjoy all 3 verses of the song but my favorite lines are how Kendrick and Drake end their verses..."They say conversation rule the nation, I can tell, but I could never right my wrongs, 'less I write them down for real, P.S. -Kendrick "They say Communication save relations I can tell, but I can never right my wrongs, 'less I write them down for real P.S.-Drake. My other favorite is from Kendrick's third verse..."Every time I write these words, they become a taboo, making sure my punctuation curve, every letter is true, living my life inside the margin and that metaphor was proof..." I adore this video just as much as the song, the video may have even made me love the song that much more. Enjoy  P.S. (pun intended lol) Poetic Justice is in my top 10 favorite movie list of all time fyi :-)

Love Love Love This

Everyone who knows me, knows I am a sucker for Cheesy movies and Love Stories!! The Cheesier the better. A couple of months ago I saw the movie Pitch Perfect and boy was it GREAT!!! Since the first time I saw it in November I have watched it maybe 10 times. I now know all of the words and songs. From this movie I fell in love with some artists I had never heard before, one being LuLu and the Lampshades. In the movie the character Beca (played by Anna Kendrick, 90210) did an audition for an A Capella singing group and her audition song was from LuLu. After hearing it I had to find it. I found the original, I like it but I love Anna's version better. My Lyrics: "I've got my ticket for the long way 'round, The one with the prettiest of views, It's got mountains, It's got rivers, It's got sights to give you shivers, But it sure would be prettier with you..." Enjoy, definitely on my poetic side.

Side Note: I sooooo wish it was longer :-/

Right Before Valentines Day is over...(I guess on the west coast)

Valentines day is officially over on the East Coast but I am from Cali so technically we have another 2 hours and 14 mins to keep this thing rocking. However it is my booksi's bday on the east so in honor of V-Day love and his bday my song of choice for the night is from none other than Ms. Erykah Badu. When I first got the Mama's Gun album I did NOT like this song and would always skip over it. That is until the summer before my senior year in college I fell in love, once my heart was snatched up this song took on a whole new meaning. I can lay for hours listening to it on repeat and smiling. I looove every lyric and every note, however my favorite line is "He gets to smile, and I get to be Orange..." I absolutely adore being orange. Some say that there can be a parallel drawn in this song, that she is either talking about her relationship with God, or a man, or both. Listening to the lyrics closely it can be deduced that she quite possibly could be referring to both. That being said it will go into our poetic category. Well without further ado... Orange Moon! (Happy Valentines Day to all and if my dearest is reading this Happy Birthday!!!) 

Grammy Inspiration

Watching the Grammy's and I got inspired to post. I am soooo excited for Frank Ocean I could just kick something LOL. I was in my room cheering when he won you would have thought he was my brother. The highlight for me was that for each award he was nominated for they played his song Pyramids which is one of my FAVORITE songs on his album, always gets me rockin'. While the video is very explicit and should be in the ratchet category lol it is artistic and we all know that Frank is nothing less than Poetic!!! Lines please.... "Pimpin in my convos, bubbles in my champagne, let it be some jazz playin, top floor motel suite twisting cigars floor model tv with the VCR, got rubies in my *darn* chain, whip aint got no gas tank, but it still got wood grain..." ha! I know its the entire first verse give or take a few lines but what can I say. Just play the song. *Warning video shows nudity fyi lol*

So Random LOL

I was just watching Bounce Beats on Bounce TV and this video came on. I have heard this song a few times, I LOVE it, and hum it randomly. Now the artist is in  No way fashion or form eye candy so the video threw me off a tad hahahaha. In any event though I thoroughly enjoy the song... Here you go, Mr. Marcus Canty.

**I realized that from the lyrics Mr. Canty needs to be in the Ratchet section LOL***

It's SUNDAY!!! (My Oprah Yell Voice)

This lovely afternoon I will go with a selection that is near and dear to my heart right now. And because it is Sunday! it will be a gospel selection. Every single time this song comes on and it just changes my mood makes me smile and I sing my life away. I told my sister the other night that I was going to start putting out YouTube videos so I can get discovered. I just want to be a one hit wonder LOL is that too much to ask for??? Anywho, this afternoons song of choice is by Tamela Mann. The line that makes me melt... "take me to the King, I don't have much to bring, my heart is torn in pieces, its my offering, lay me at the thrown, leave me there alone, to gaze upon your glory and sing to you this song." love it love it love it!!!

Discovery

I have been listening to my Bruno Mars Pandora station a lot lately (btw its a work friendly station lol) I have discovered a lot of new music from it. This is a little diddy that I find myself humming throughout the day once I hear it. So whats my lyric?..."You didn't have to stoop so low, have your friends collect your records and then change your number, I guess that I don't need that though, now you're just somebody that I used to know." I love the flow of how he sings it. Gotye Everyone.
* Side Note* Yea I know the video is weird lol
