We all change…

…We all change when you think about it. We are all different people all through our lives and that’s okay, that’s good, you gotta keep moving so long as you remember all the people that you used to be. I will not forget one line of this, not one day, I swear…

Desire

We are Desire in motion.

“In the language of Kabbalah, desire is referred to as a Vessel. A Vessel is like an empty cup that seeks to be filled. Unlike an empty cup, however, the Vessel of our desires is not anything physical.”

Dancing On My Own

This is an oldie, but goodie. (Yes 2009 is already old.)

After reading several interpretations of this song online, my own summary is as follows:

A single man who happens to be gay is in love with his straight male friend. This gay male happens to be totally in love with the straight friend, but has kept it to himself for a very long time. It’s tearing him apart. One night of dancing finally highlights the gravity of his situation: unrequited love – a love that can never be. He watches him from the corner of the club or dance floor. The straight friend is totally occupied by his new girlfriend. Listen carefully to the chorus: “…I’m not the guy you’re taking home…” His agony is so descriptive as he watches him flirt with her. Heart-wrenching words surrounded by the techno drum beats, it’s so subtly covered. One’s immediate interpretation would be about a woman experiencing this – watching her straight friend with his new girlfriend. But the catch is the line in the chorus. What makes it even more incredible is that Robyn is singing it from the perspective of a gay man.

The Will

Well, we’re all wounded. We carry our wounds around with us through life, and eventually they kill us. Things happen that leave a mark in space, in time. In us.
