I am here to tell a cute story from my childhood:
When I was little and I first saw shrek, I was utterly moved by the cover of hallelujah that plays in the movie. I was so moved in fact that my tiny pea sized brain tried to make whatever sense of the lyrics that I could, and made an art piece based off of that. I was completely misinterpreting the lyrics too which is so funny to me. I had no idea who sang it but I was obsessed! What makes this story even better is that when I was in college I heard Rufus Wainwrightās original music for the first time and immediately fell in love. It was really full circle because he sang that cover in shrek. And I first heard his album poses while I was making art too. It just seems like a really cool coincidence or some kind of fate. Music finds you in very mysterious and meaningful ways. <3

š·one of my cousins plays the saxophone and was in prince, michael jackson, michael jordanās (???) and many more bands and so naturally he has some crazy connections. when he got married he had stevie wonder come perform a private show and i was one of the flower girls and he had us come up on stage and obviously at the time i didnāt know i was standing and dancing so close to a legend but when i gained pop culture consciousness i understood. this is my go to for two truths and a lie bc it is so silly. according to my parents he said i was beautiful (??? heās blind) and i wish i could find that photo album but for now youāll just have to believe me lol

I used to love Billy Joel and then my sister told me he is ārock music for musical theater peopleā which is so funny and accurate, but made me embarrassed to listen to him for a long time. I put on The Stranger album in the car for the first time in years and all these memories came back of listening to it on vinyl, going to see him in Wisconsin with my college best friends, and playing this album through my shitty computer speakers on my first date with my husband. It makes me so sad that I was denying myself something I love because of the fear of cringe š¢

For whatever reason I keep posting and then deleting my recs immediately. Iāve gotten shy on here. I used to be so bold. I donāt know what happened !!!
