When David heard that Absalom was slain He went up into his chamber over the gate and wept

...

aight den.

I’m officially done apologizing for this.

He knew he wasn't perfect But he always did his best to try to get under the surface Not a saint, not a serpent He just wanted everyone to be impressed with him as a person

So when she came along with the sunbeam Self-esteem stopped making nothing outta somethings Leaving the scene was unseen, I mean It was the first time he ever felt the need to keep the gun clean

Do the math He knew he had to choose a path Gotta get that girl, gotta make her laugh Gotta shake the past and move forwards Gotta make this last, it feels gorgeous

I knew the day was coming. Stood there anyway. Took one to the chin like a damn fool. Told myself I’d be ready for it. Told myself I’d get used to it.

Seems not.

The Greatest Thirty-Five Seconds in Jazz

Submitted for your approval, Dave Brubeck’s Take Five. A a track that was first performed in 1964 but so intimately ahead of the game musically, I will defend the opinion that it deserves to be unquestionably considered

post-modern jazz.

Just listen to the first thirty-five seconds; an uncharacteristically subdued, yet dutiful 5/4 introduction from the percussionist, soon--but without any unnecessary delay, an ostinato from the piano that demands your focus, politely but quite affirmatively setting a mood-as it were. Mere moments later yet equally on pace, a saxophone carrying the main melody enters the soundscape--a sultry musical question mark, a suggestive inquiry to the listener about their own musically intimate desires, a playful jaunt into the inquisition before a refrain to the coy and almost coquettish melody we heard just a few bars ago.

There’s just something inherently...erotic about the first thirty-five seconds Take Five. It exudes suave and swagger delivered via auditory aphrodisia; it’s playful and demure, but wholly composed and assertive--yet inviting.

Ugh.

When my friends say they don’t “get” jazz, this will always be the first track I turn to.
