I give up.

I am having a really shitty time of it right now, because whomever said wild women don't get the blues was a liar, and I would love to see lots of things that make you guys happy: happy stories, happy songs, happy pictures, fuck it, it could just be a smiley face. Mostly I just need happy things. Please?

Jeff Buckley = Pretty

[darksylvia.livejournal.com]

I know we share a love of Jeff Buckley, my dead rock star boyfriend, so here's one of my favorite quotes by him, and some screen caps I took.

"I try to make my music joyful--it makes me joyful--to feel the music soar through the body. It changes your posture, you raise your chin, throw your shoulders back, walk with a swagger. When I sing, my face changes shape. If feels like my skull changes shape...the bones bend. "Grace" and "Eternal Life" (from the album) are about the joy that music gives--the, probably illusory, feeling of being able to do anything. Sex is like that. You become utterly consumed by the moment.

"Apparently orgasm is the only point where your mind becomes completely empty--you think of nothing for that second. That's why it's so compelling--it's a tiny taste of death. Your mind is void--you have nothing in your head save white light. Nothing save that white light and 'YES!'--which is fantastic. Just knowing 'Yes.'"

Also, the video for Raspberry Beret (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNrC6sZulng) usually makes me feel better. It's so...bright!
