reenkaani difranco, untouchable face, so, so, so rocks my world i'll never be able to describe it fully. i just have to resist the urge to quote it and act like a complete freak, so... i'll just um, mention it. dilate just does it to me (the song and the album). whoa. maybe it's just the way she says fuck. (*grins*)
ok i'll quote anyway....
so i'll walk the plank and i'll jump with a smile
if i'm gonna go down
i'm gonna do it with style
~~
(just got it today). it's that thing that happens every time i listen to "silent all these years", except it's like-- for ani it seems to be a lifestyle. like, rihgt now, in `out of me', i'm not even sure what she's singing and it's just, ripping right into me, and i can't even sit still, just her voice, is... just, scraping down my marrow, making me feel primal & completely unwilling to put up with any bullshit ever again.
that feeling, like when you're angry and you're tired of crying and you have all these words that are suddenly coming to you, and you're just there, all of a sudden, just in that place, where you just speak your mind. it's so, so empowering. it doesn't matter if anyone's listening, or if they're going to understand, because you're just going to say it, and they will listen anyway because you are frikkin' powerful, right then, you are..... like.... shining so bright you could blind someone.
tori does it, a lot of times-- but mostly she did it with `little earthquakes', and yeah, so does fiona, but not as in your face, and yeah, sophie b. hawkins, except not as raw & primal & cut open. i don't like gothy or dark or "music to cut yourself by", really, i like music that cuts. and yes that can be dark. but mostly it's just really powerful....
