Storylines de Spotify. ATIENDE:
Chromatica I: Every journey, I believe, begin with an element of triumph. I win and fail all the time. They’re both meaningful. They both inform me. They’re equally epic.
Alice: In order to do hard things, we have to be willing to try. Sometimes trying involves dreaming. Some of us, I to be certain, must be able to imagine the greatness that’s revealed within us when we overcome obstacles. Otherwise, what’s the point? When we are sad this is more difficult, but I recall that there’s always Wonderland. Remember that old story about Alice?
Stupid love: The core issue that’s been the driving connective force behind all things I do is love. I’ve always wanted it, and can never have enough of it. I’ve been told I’m a love addict. Fine. I’m addicted to love. Is that so bad? Because isn’t there freedom in simply acknowledging that my need for love is a bottomless pit?
Rain on me: Sometimes I’ve thought I’ve cried so many tears that that’s all I was anymore – a fountain for misery to cycle through. I’d rather that not be true, but at least I’m alive. I’m grateful for that. Tears can be teachers if we let them.
Free woman: As someone who generally prefers things to be genderless, I ponder often why I chose to declare my womanhood in this song. I’ve realized that question is futile. Woman could be synonymous with any creative force. I’m proud of my womb, proud of yours, and proud of those who were born without wombs and have phantom ones. Every gender has a spirit womb. I believe this is hinged on creating with three things the same way a door has three hinges: a steady hand, knowing you can, and not needing a relationship to define your power. Before you know it if you are closed, you can open, just like a door.
Fun tonight: When you listen to this song imagine you’re singing to yourself.
