“Hollow,” a song I stumbled across on Pandora some years ago when I used to use the service (before ads/commercials/limited listens) and was incorrectly titled as “My Mermaid”. Being a Tricky fan, I was surprised that I had missed this, and his Vulnerable album.. Although this was used as background music while editing Blue Lines, it is more of a fit with the unrelated manuscript Final Goodbye. Tricky collaborated with an artist Costanza Francavilla, instead of his longtime collaborator and former girlfriend Martina Topley-Bird, (featured in last week’s Music Monday post).

The manuscript Blue Lines is the fictional coming of age narrative of a young California woman Key Yemaya Walker, and her 2 year growing journey through school, love, and life period piece, written by Kenneth Suffern, Jr., taking place at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill between the years of 1997 – 1998. Loosely based on true events, and experiences during that time, told through the eyes and voice of the main female protagonist, a freshman first attending the school.

What I Learned Sundays – Mother’s Day

Blue Lines, Key Yemaya Walker, Mother's Day, What I Learned Sundays

Happy Mother’s Day
Quick, it’s Mother’s Day, and my Mom’s day.
I’m very lucky, and have my mother. I can tell how much she loves me by how she looks at me, and our real conversations as of late.
I hate not knowing, and not having control of things (this applies to much more than I can say, and much that people may think they know, but don’t really)
Bits and pieces of happiness, are not that substantial in the end.
I love communication, it is key.
You have choices: stick to the choice you made fully; amend your choice, but stick to the nature of said choice; go back to the old, but don’t be surprised by the same results.
Talking things out, may help a situation, however it also calls it into being.
Sometimes wholesale changes are needed.
Thanks for friends.
Read.
Talk.
Smile.
Write.

Funny that my first choice today was Bjork’s “Hyper-Ballad,” directed by Michel Gondry, who also directed this video. When I switched my thinking to a less obscure artists, my first choice was Lenny Kravitz, “If You Can’t Say No,” but I eventually chose “Believe In Me,” from his album Lenny. I need you to believe in me. I need to believe in you and us too (2012 edit)

“…I’ve got a confession my friends, I ain’t no fool…”
I remember how the 2007 Super Bowl, when one of my favorite artists when from a rousing rendintion of Jimi Hendrix’s “Watchtower,” into another fave, Foo Fighters “Best Of You.” I didn’t agree that he’s was giving them the “F’ you,” for their recording of “Darling Nikki,” as a single B-Side. The same night included on eof the most amazing performances of “Purple Rain,” in the rain.

Happy Mother’s day. This is where I got the nickname I started calling my Mother a while back in High School, “Da Mama.” Years later, that’s still her nickname, and even adults have started to call her that by mistake. We used to watch this show all of the time, until it was cancelled.
