#hello bluebird

[spookulele]

Working on a lip sync test for Anette, set to Hello Bluebird by Janet Klein and her Palor Boys. This is superrrrr rough, but im happy with it so far. I definitely overcomplicated it with like 8 different head swaggles and multiple birds and like why did I do that

It was 50 years ago today Judy Garland died

I didnt even know her and I miss her, my favorite singer. Here is a short vid I made awhile back of her belting it out.

I’ll not go wrong, unlike I did, again, I’ll stay home and be a kid again, Hello bluebird, hello!

Josephine baker…vaudeville royalty…civil rights pioneer…first black woman to head a major motion picture…renouncer of american citizenship…french spy…sex symbol…badass incarnate

An Alternate take of Hello Bluebird, from the  recording sessions for I Could go on Singing. It's surprisingly different than the known recording, which is more polished but less spontaneous.

the tap-dance.  poetry by @MariamaRafetna @MadiDangerously

he taps  and taps at the edge of her, until she breaks. glaring,  at the mess he's made.

dis.connect.ed

"this is what they do…" he thinks.

….women.

she pours herself  onto him seeking comfort understanding

he stands covered in this mess of her calm complacent unconcerned.

….he can't be too surprised...

she's nothing new.

they always cry.

they always leave.

he always breaks them.

"this, is my role." he believes.

"...better her than me…." his heart,  quietly bleeds.

he won't do anything  to ease her pain to be responsible for whats created.

a few empty promises a dozen fake smiles but, he'll hug her tight  when he see's her  again though...

they won't talk,

he won't apologize.

...he'll never change.

"she didn't, really  love me  anyway."

his heart  silently  weeps.
