Pastel solstice above me A new planet discovery No sun revolves around you only How could you think that you're lonely? Our universe is vast, but gravity will hold you back And overcoming obstacles is easy when you got control Grab your ship by the wheel, steer it through that asteroid field It's nothing big enough to stop You're not alone you just forgot that We make up a universe that's unified

La-da-da, dee-di Look at my kite fly Over foggy fields The pungent pines The verdant vales And the vapid vines And the thousand purple cups of wine The tearing teeth and the four full tines The crumpling feast and the dawdling dine
j. newsom's early EPs are the most ethereal juvenilia

If I'mma be sad I'mma do it with Pizzazz And shake these feelings off my ass They'll find me in some glitter if I crash Cause if the feeling never pass, then at least I flipped this $#!+ into some cash Every hour spent in isolation makes it easier to face annihilation Either you gon shake or be shaken, and I just ain't the type to keep waitin'

In America, one tradition that lasts Is black blood woven into the fibers of the flag Not addressing the problems of the past To nowhere fast, but following the path So called "leaders" on hire for the Klan Still rapin' and settin' fire to the land Well that's the climate, how can I become a man If survival is a triumph and we got the underhand? One killer, one child, one weapon The shooter was unthreatened, seventy-one seconds So many unanswered questions, I see reflections of myself I feel like in fatherhood we are connected Too long before the shooter was arrested So wrong, worldwide, we've been affected To them it's real, sins of the father remembered still For every Trayvon Martin, there was an Emmett Till
How many more kids will we wait for them to kill? My tears collectin' like raindrops on the windowsill If the wounds heal, the memories never fade I wonder if you're in heaven's eleventh grade Six thousand two hundred and thirty days Too young of an early age, such evil and worldly ways The thing in which we believe, the way in which we behave The way in which we've evolved, the monster that we became
Rest in power, rest in paradise To all the babies too young to have had to pay the price 'Cause lives matter, there's clearly nothing as dear as life You have become a symbol in the spirit life Rest in power, rest in paradise Know as long as you still got somebody here to fight Your lives matter, there's clearly nothing as dear as life You have become a symbol in the spirit life

there are so many reasons to dislike elvis, why would you go for the one thing that obviously isn’t true ?

I see both of your views here. This has been a widely circulated rumor since before I was even born and it seems that it has only come to the surface ( and been disproven) relatively recently with the release of the Elvis Presley biopic, so I can't blame anyone that took it for fact. There's an argument to be made about him taking Black music and repackaging it for a majority white audience, but I'd hardly say that qualifies the man as a racist.

where do you draw the line between him and literally any other popular musician of the last century? if anyone “stole” black music, it was surely the phony songwriters like Lieber and Stoller, working in the tradition of Cole Porter or Stephen Foster. Elvis was just a guy in the south imitating the music he grew up with, as far as I can tell. And after the first couple years he mainly based his career on singing awful ballads in awful movies. Lol.
