Wow. I seriously did not want this video to end. I am in love.
this is why its my favorite instrument
I need an electric violin. Maybe that will bring me back to the instrument.
Thought two: I’ve always wanted to do street performance. I’ve been practicing street drumming…
Thought three: I’m glad I wasn’t too involved with music through high school. I would’ve gotten too dedicated.
Thought four: Who is he? I gotta subscribe to his YouTube.

I was hitching a ride anywhere when this VW Microbus stops, and a very cool dude asks..
Where you headed, man?
Anywhere you go, I will go.
We are heading to a rock festival.
Wonderful. Never been to one. I am from South Africa, where everything was banned.
Hardly settled in my seat when someone passed me my first joint. Amazing experience, amazing people. And then the Woodstock experience, much of it a blur.
But one should understand the impact on a very naive 17 year old, from a very repressed South Africa at the time. One of my greatest educational experiences. No formal education could have expanded my mind and opened my eyes like so.
From Frank Ocean’s mixtape Nostalgia, Ultra. The first actual song on the tape, it immediately introduces the theme of the whole tape (nostalgia). At the end, an alarm can be heard, signalling that the whole song was just a dream he had where he was recalling a past love and his childhood (or teen years). The instrumentals are from Coldplay’s “Strawberry Swing”
When we were kids, we handpainted strawberries on a swing
Every moment was so precious, then
I’m still kicking it, I’m daydreaming on a strawberry swing
The entire Earth is fighting, all the world is at its end
Just in case, an atom bomb, comes falling on my lawn
I should say and you should hear I’ve loved
I’ve loved the good times here, I’ve loved our good times here
Say hello, then say farewell to the places you know
We are all mortals, aren’t we? Any moment this could go
Cry, cry, cry, even though that won’t change a thing
But you should know, you should hear, that I have loved
I have loved the good times here, and I will miss our good times
Spaceships are lifting off of a dying world
And millions are left behind while the sky burns
There wasn’t room for you and I, only you, goodbye, goodbye

Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit
-
I’m sad that I wasn’t really alive back when Nirvana was around.
Drake - What If I Kissed You
“What if I kissed you right now? How would we explain it?”
“Take me, I’m yours. And I don’t care who knows..”
“If we were a secret, tell me could you keep it?”
“Just be mine, all mine.”
Of all the Drake songs in my iTunes library, this is the only one I’ve rated 5-stars.
