There is something about the quality of a good song that can genuinely bring me to my knees. As someone who relishes the concept of music, impeccable song writing skills are never overlooked through my boring brown optics. This week I have selected Singer/Songwriter, Breakthrough Artist of the 2017 Juno’s Ruth B. As someone who gravitates towards anything and everything fantasy related – Lost Boy struck a chord with me from the first time I heard the simplicity of Ruth B’s voice as she accompanies herself on the piano. I relished Once Upon a Time as well, which inspired her song Lost Boy; it is incredible how art always feeds more art and throughout the various media genres throughout artistic impressions.
Travel back in time? What the hell for?
I’ve never been in search
for the fountain of youth
and don’t think I ever will be
Unlike some my youth was most unpleasant
it took a lot of energy to simply
remain alive
What I seek
is the sage wisdom of age
to be able to comprehend
there are things in life
that must occur
for resilience
to emancipate
itself from the confines
of shackles that bound
a spirit that simply
desired to fly into the infinite
strata – to discover
far off worlds
through the scope
of an imagination
that has always
felt a sense of a stifled echo
a fear that control
essentially must always
be exhibited
loss of creative maniacal
structure adheres
to the verity
of self
