I came across this new poppin' artist: Zee Avi. I remember watching her youtube videos a year or so back and now she's signed onto Jack Johnson's Brushfire label-- oh whaat? Word. (Not to mention her name is... awesome.)
"Honey Bee" --Zee Avi. (okayy... I can't post youtubes on here anymore-- don't know why-- but click here to listen to the song.)
This song in particular struck a chord (haha, no pun intended) in my little mind and big heart. I imeem'd" this new rising artist and before most of her songs play she explains why she wrote it. (Man, this blog is full of techonological-pop-culture-hip-cool-world-wide-web-trends. Bah.)
Soo... "Honey Bee" in particular was written about (as she described it) the struggles a "non-confomist" faces when falling in love; because in falling in love with a person (that may or may not be a person that is like you) that (non-conformist) has to succumb or conform to the ways of society-- to compromise whatever beliefs or ways of thinking he or she has had. On the flip side of that, however, the person that has also fallen for this "non-coformist" is willing to do whatever it takes to help that person out. Willing to fight, willing to struggle, willing to learn and to overcome the transition of compromise.
And within the fighting and struggling comes wisdom, perseverance and greater appeciation for that person: unfiltered, unchanged (untrained, ha!).
Just you.

And for some feel good, soul-thriving live music, Zee Avi will be peforming in SF this Friday (May 22!) at the Rickshaw Stop. (I should be getting paid for this). I'm not going though cause I have a graduation to attend-- shout out to MAC JERV!
Peace be, folks. Have a blessed one.

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. I rejoice greatly in the Lord that at last you have renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you have been concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength." (Philippians 4:6-13)
