RIGHT BRAIN ::: The Ineffable

Now I Can Dance
Tina Arena
In Deep (1997)

So I hope this finds you well
Sun is shining down eastern valley ways
There's some news I need to tell you
Give my Mother a kiss
Tell her I'm ok
I recall her words
"If it's too easy it never lasts"
I have compromised
But I'm finally free of the past
Now I can dance
Clouds have all disappeared
Freedom I hold so dear
Cause nobody knows me here
Though I can only imagine the sadness in your eyes
Please understand
Now I can dance
All alone the other night
I came to realise we'd be friends for life
It was always meant to be
For some people the heavens can get it so right
Like an angel you see
You have graciously offered a hand
You'd be so proud of me
Now I'm finally taking a stand
Now I can dance
Clouds have all disappeared
Freedom I hope so dear
Cause nobody knows me here
Though I can only imagine the sadness in your eyes
Please understand
Now I can dance
Now I can dance
Now I can dance
Clouds have all disappeared
Freedom I hope so dear
Cause nobody knows me here
Though I can only imagine the sadness
you eyes
Please understand
Now I can dance
Though I can only imagine the sadness
In your eyes
Please understand
Now I can dance
So I hope this finds you well
Sun is shining down eastern valley ways
So good
Be free
Can dance and laugh and just be me
So good
Be free
The clouds above have disappeared

The song about says it all. Hehe! See you on the other side.

RIGHT BRAIN ::: She Told Ya She Was Trouble

About eight years ago, the Grammys hit rock bottom when the BSBs, J Los, N Syncs, and Britneys managed to get nominated when nobody was looking. What a doozy! It really looked like a re-run of the Teen Choice Awards back then. So let's chew on this one time: this year's Best Female Pop Vocal, Best Pop Vocal Album, Best New Artist, Song of the Year, and the Big Kahuna of 'em all, Record of the Year, all went to Amy Winehouse. Talk about atonement

I don't really need to tell anyone just what an incredible piece of work Back To Black is. Likewise, I've no qualms about Herbie Hancock taking Album of the Year. As far as I'm concerned, the guy's a genius and he deserves the honor. But the Ronson-Winehouse spawn, however, is the de facto winner. I'm a happy camper.

Her slurred acceptance speech notwithstanding, Amy did live up to the hype. Sure, there were "a few ragged notes" but the overall performance was undoubtedly the show's highlight. That and her stunned reaction to winning Record of the Year. I'm sure they'll be showing that clip in the montages for years to come.

Big Mark Ronson won Producer of the Year...nachullally, as the chipmunks would say. Would've been great if the two of them were both there to accept the awards. Guess the INS were too suspicious of Amy's beehive so they shot down her bid to hop across the pond.Oh well.

So put a sock in it, Sara Silverman, 'cause this kid's the joint du jour. Pun well-intended.
