âColors changing hue
Morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving handâ

âStarry, starry night Portraits hung in empty halls Frameless heads on nameless walls With eyes that watch the world and can't forget Like the strangers that you've met The ragged men in ragged clothes The silver thorn of bloody rose Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow Now, I think I know what you tried to say to me How you suffered for your sanity How you tried to set them free They would not listen, they're not listening still Perhaps they never willâ

McLean says he was reading a biography of Vincent van Gogh when he stumbled upon the idea of composing a song about him.
âFor they could not love you But still your love was true And when no hope was left in sight On that starry, starry night You took your life, as lovers often do But I could have told you, Vincent This world was never meant for one As beautiful as youâ

đ¨all art doesn't have to be good to make it art, here is an example :)
Illusion of Pain - Rattlesnake
Oh, the illusion of pain is painted on your face With a glaring look of hope and anguish The rumours of an old love rattle through your brain The thought of her conquers your surroundings
The moon and the stars will shine on you tonight As you go place to place fighting off your demons You can't get away, but you sure can try Next time be careful of the dreams you're dreaming
You stare into the mirror, and a clown looks back His hair is green and his eyes are frozen Wrinkles on his chin and a stab wound in his neck He knows the odd sensation of your bleeding
Just remember a time when she was all that you wanted With no notions of a-parting But then time took hold, and dragged it all down The suffering had only just started
The illusion of pain is painted on my face And the hope is losing to the anguish The thoughts of an old love keep me up at night She has conquered all my surroundings

đ§But I remember you, you had a body
You had hands and arms and legs and et cetera
Did I fail? Did I fall?
(In the morning when I wake up, are you mine?)
Did I waste my time, waste my time on a broken heart?
(Take the trash out like a bad dream, are you gone?)
Or is this the start of the great silence?
(From the old house, the fiercest heart spoke, are you mine?)
Is this the start of every day?
(Christmas tree's dead, you know how time flies, are you gone?)
...
So descend into clichĂŠ If the music has forsaken you Roll the stone over the grave I never liked that one anyways Or stare into the face Of whatever it is that's facing you And if the levee breaks You'll find out what it is that's replacing you And when the mirror breaks I wouldn't miss it for the world Call it blackstar Call it painstar The same thing happens when you touch it Did they tell you what happens when you touch it? Did they tell you what happens when you touch it? Did they tell you Did they tell me What happened to you?
...
For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; Then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known And now these two remain

Thereâs a creator on Instagram and tiktok called Lauren_dozier and she makes the most lovely flower shaped cookies
I made them recently and they turned out quite well- I used a âno spreadâ sugar cookie recipe and gel food colouring đ

đI tried so many different branded hair masks and nothing has worked as well for me as just pure coconut oil. I buy a big tub of cold pressed 100% pure coconut oil and apply a generous amount all over my scalp (about 2 tbsp), leave it for as long as possible (if i have no where to go I put a little cap on and leave it all day), then work shampoo into my hair dry (oil doesnât mix well with water) then wash out and condition. it leaves my hair feeling so nourished and clean!

We are so lucky to have such a wealth of music at our fingertips. The trial and error of working out what you like is so satisfying- once you find a song you like, youâll find an album of theirs you love, a duet theyâve done with another artist who is now your new favourite, and so on. Let your music taste snowball!
old soul is my favourite, here are some recs:
Letâs Say Goodbye Tomorrow - Jimmy Ruffin Itâs All Right - Sam Cooke Misty Blue - Dorothy Moore Security - Otis Redding Dearest Darling - Etta James
There is so much to explore!
