you say what you want to say
your diamonds are drops of rain
your smile is your credit card
and your currency is your love

and the morning is for you
and the air is free
and the birds sing for you
and your positivity

watch out

so you play where you want to play
on the main streets where the creeps all pray
and you can feel like you're in dynasty
and you can be what you want to be

and the morning is for you
and the air is free
and the birds sing for you
and your positivity

and the car crash for you
and the sunshine is free
and the sirens call you

yes the morning is for you
yes the air is free
and yes the world spins for you
and your positivity

Positivity

Suede, 'Positivity'

************************************************************************************************

This song just popped into my head. Despite being a fan, this isn't one of my favorite songs from the band. I remember the MTV , however...And I recalled commenting that this doesn't seem Suede style, cos they look so cleaned up, shaven and dressed in white, and the MTV is bright with white background and CGI of trees and birds and everything nice springing all over the place. Very un-Suede. A few weeks after that MTV, Suede announced they were splitting up, and I think it's because they cannot do drugs anymore... heh. Just kidding. My guess is that they cleaned up their act and realized being free of addiction actually opens up more doors in terms of musical creativity. When you're smashed and loaded with H, all you can be is a bad-ass band with limited shelf-life (you're hot until the next bad-ass band comes up). Well, whatever they want. I do prefer their earlier days, though. I do disapprove of the drugs. Fine, it's good for them.

Nah, it's the word that came to my mind. This is probably the only song I know that has the word 'positivity'. Either that, or I've limited knowledge of music ( yes, that's it ).

I don't know if it's self-defense that I need to define my current state of existence. I mean, I have nobody other than my immediate family to answer to. Otherwise, I really don't care what other people have in mind. But I did care. It's hard to NOT care. Cos after being with people for a while, you feel a certain obligation, be it a tiny bit or a whole lot, to them and in turn, you want to do things according to their rules. I say, stay away from people once in a while. Get your bearings right. They're not going to be steering your ship. Sure, they can show you a compass and tell you about interesting destinations, but you make it there eventually on your own.

I don't know which is worse, saying something which you later take back. The former being something you did not give yourself a chance to explore, and the next moment, taking back the statement and going for it anyway. Why does everything need to be defined as 'right' and 'wrong', 'good' or 'bad', when all that matters is how you feel in your heart. So what if something that is wrong feels right? I think I'm going to get slammed for saying such things, but you only live life once, why not live it with a bang? Within the stated law of the country, do as your heart pleases.

The human mind is a double-edged sword; limits yet liberates us, depending on our choice.
