#onlyskin

If; I could I ask god a question? I would definitely seek, Why does my skin matter? And, not myself belief. My soul on least Pedestrian of society’s ladder, Black or brown #onlyskin matter; Deciding my fate Black: bad guy with guns Brown: not enough to be human White: that’s all matter Fairer skin; which everyone envy and believe Soul: a mighty myth To be social savvy; But, did it save? #blacklives Another one died #GeorgeFlyod R.I.P Who set theses standards? Every skin matter inspite of its colour, Hail the flag of equal belief, Skin is just colour Not, character you wore God graced us better; Be a human for once. #blacklivesmatter Really sorry, we have come to this. #poetry #blacklivesmatter #georgefloyd #message #penandpaper #penandpendulum #packpoetry #evespoetrygroup #thesoulwriter13 #socialpoetrynetwork #poetryconnection #writingcommunity #poetrycommunity #globalpoetcult #globalagepoetry #poetrysociety #inspiration #skin #skindosentchangeyou #skindosentmatter#saysxhnb_o (at India) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA3C0YTFm4n/?igshid=14oec671dzh3

“This is Newsom’s sophomore album, though my one and only, and a birthday gift from a muso friend of mine. It’s really quite different from anything I’d ever heard before, and I love to be challenged or taken in new musical directions. It could be described as indie folk, though I also found the genre ‘progressive folk’ on her Wikipedia entry. Progressive in that it takes the underlying essence of folk songs, that of narrative storytelling, and stretches it, almost to breaking point. . There are only five songs on this album, which vary in length from 7 to 16 minutes, but since they twist and turn in the peculiar manner of a changeling child, it’s difficult to tell where one ends and the other begins. That’s not necessarily a problem, although I find it hard to follow the narrative and (sometimes) musical arc without following the printed lyrics in the extravagantly packaged 30-page booklet. . Ys, pronounced ‘ease’ is the mythical city on the Brittany coast that was swallowed by the sea, and Newsom explores a wide range of myths, children’s stories, fairy tales and literary romance in her complex story-length lyrics. I confess that after a while, I find her high-pitched voice a little grating, but it suits perfectly the subject matter and her harp accompaniment. . There’s a smorgasbord of musical talent on this album, not least from Newsom’s own harp playing herself; produced by Jim O’Rourke with Steve Albini on the mixing desk with orchestral arrangements from Van Dyke Parks. Bill Callahan, her then boyfriend, also appears on backing vocals on Only Skin.” .
