Take a straight and stronger course to the corner of your life. Make the white queen run so fast she hasn't got time to make you a wife.
'Cause it's time, it's time in time with your time and its news is captured For the queen to use. Move me on to any black square, Use me any time you want, Just remember that the goal Is for us to capture all we want, (move me on), yea,yea,yea,yea,yea (to any black square)
Don't surround yourself with yourself, Move on back two squares, Send an instant karma to me, Initial it with loving care yourself.
I wasn't talking about lyrics, and I really think "...it gives me the ability to enjoy music that others might not understand" is a pretty asinine statement. Everyone enjoys music other people don't understand. Further, the music you think you alone understand is understood by probably millions of others. Perhaps they have interpreted it differently, or perhaps an instrumental that made you feel sad made someone else swell with joy.
I'm a dancer, dahling, not in profession but by default. I was born this way. I hear music, and I move to it. I don't simply listen to beats and rhythms with my ears, I feel them with my body, and this is as natural to me as breathing. Lyrics have little-to-nothing to do with it.

Do you think this has something to do with you being part black?
i don't know what anyone means when they say they 'understand' the kind of music that has been posted in this thread.
What's to understand? If you understand it I certainly don't.
To me this music is created to encourage an emotional response in the listener, not an intellectual one. It's a dumbing down - considerably - when one compares it to classical western music. In many ways I think it's debasing. It's not fair, of course, to compare it to classical music, as its more a modern day equivalent of folk music or music hall or some such. It's the emotional content that makes it so dangerous, as people are more emotional when they're young.
Feelings tend not to guide us to the right answer, but lead us into fantasy and mystery, which is what this music does.

I doubt it. The minute part of me that is black comes from my father's side, and I've never met any of them. My mother's entire family is musically inclined in one way or another, or three ways or five. My mother feels music the same way that I do.
I didn't say you were arrogant. I said you made an asinine statement.
I don't expect you to apologize for what you think you are, any more than I will apologize for thinking you're a scared, confused little girl who is more concerned with what's on her face than what's in her head.
You're extremely intelligent. Extraordinarily intelligent, even, for a female your age. This I admire, nay, I downright delight to see it. You could do amazing things -- except that your life takes place in your head while you stand in front of a mirror.
Haha not ironically I've been talking about my vanity, and the implications of fitting into society all last night on the phone and even today :0 I'm very aware that I'm vain.
However, you basically lashed out at me when I've done nothing to you....so that's my main concern for now.
Words always speak more of the person proclaiming them. Every statement made incites motive, whether accurate or not.
You have a habit of empty compliments to hide your spite. It's one thing to dislike someone openly, and another to pretend and make a fool of yourself in transparency.
Empty compliments and spite? You see what you want to see, Natalie. I have been very plain in my language to you. I neither like nor dislike you. I admire some of your attributes. Others, not so much.
People aren't generally going to kiss your ass if they love you and call you a whore if they don't.
I doubt it. The minute part of me that is black comes from my father's side, and I've never met any of them. My mother's entire family is musically inclined in one way or another, or three ways or five. My mother feels music the same way that I do.
But you said you were born this way, hence the suggestion of an inherent reason for 'feeling' the music... something which is typical of blacks regardless of the environment they are nurtured in.

Typically, sure. So say I do possess an innate feeling for music because I am part black. It's possible. It's certain that I get, if not all of it, a large part from my mother. Why my family is musically inclined, I don't know. I'm mixed enough that I can't really tell you exactly what I am.
It is not a good day, if you are not looking good This is the best party that I've ever been to Today I asked for a god to pour some wine in my eyes Today I asked for someone to shake some salt on my life Look! Everything's spinning (We're on the ground) Never cheer before you know who's winning (Don't make a sound) Sniff the glass and let it roll around on your tongue Let me introduce you to someone before the party is done Someone to look to in need or in want or in war If you give him everything, he may give you even more This is the best party I've been to Don't let me die with that silly look in my eyes

Have we hit a soft spot, darling? Aw, you'll be okay.
