I'm a singer, so you'd think I'd have no problem with this one. But darn it, I just couldn't think!
Too many? Overwhelmed with the sheer number of tunes? No. It had just been a while.
Very recently I came into the latest Weird Al Lady Gaga Parody. And I admit, it was fun, but it just wasn't as far out as I recalled Wierd Al to be.
Okay, it is pretty weird. But compared to Lady Gaga. It could be considered tame.
Still this led me to think about limits. Limits we set on ourselves and the things we allow ourselves to do. And how we are affected by the thoughts and ideals of those around us.
One of the biggest issues I face is the desire to please others. With three kids, I have plenty to please - and that's just at home.
So I am reaching out to the one person whom I believe is not even aware that limits exist. Yeah she's even stranger than Lady Gaga but she gets crazy things to happen - and it's because she looks forward and involves as many people as she can.
You might not even know her, but Bjork is releasing her 8th album. She is Icelandic and dances on the fringe of, well, just about everything. Her creativity and it's resulting projects know no limits. Her new album is a musical description of nature and science. It is out in September, 2011 and distributed exclusively as apps.
I have a link to It's Oh So Quiet, her most mainstream song ever (it is a renamed cover of a 1948 hit by Hans Lang and Erich Meder). But it makes me smile. And when I worry about limits, I find her other work and rethink where can't and can meet.
