Lisa: Did you know that the Chinese use the same word for 'crisis' as they do for 'opportunity?'"
Homer: "Yes. 'Crisitunity!

bahahaha I love Homer.


On another note, I'm really excited Jordan Reyne is doing another performance on Saturday and I can't wait to see her again. She is sooooo amazing to watch on stage. I've been so captivated both times I've seen her. Like, one of her albums 'Passenger' is pretty much all created on a computer by her, and yet she performs trax from it live with her band (otherwise known as Dr Kevorkian and the Suicide Machine), with live drummer and a dude with her samples on synths. And sometimes she plays guitar. And once she had a Cellist (er, you know, one who plays the Cello). *big breath* And THEN there's her Voice. Like WHOA. She is one of few artists that truly has a voice that is like an instrument. I think the ONE main reason I love seeing her live, is that when you watch her perform her songs, you can just TELL she loves what she has created and is totally passionate about her music. You can just see it in her expression when she sings, and it totally enthralls me. So yeh. *Glee*

And with that, it's probably time for installment number 5 (I think) in my series on Jordans lyrics lol.

Passenger - Jordan Reyne

I chased the Sun for over 30 hours
Passed LA International
and tired air hostesses

I had nothing.
I had nothing.
I had nothing with me.

We find our truths in all the lonely places
In the ruins we leave
In our attempts at greatness

You will fade to grey
Cos I want you to
you will fade to grey
Cos I want you to.


This next one is basically instrumental but has a few lyrics, and when I say instrumental, Jordan uses her voice in this track to add substance to those few lyrics...

Empty Stations (Numb) - Jordan Reyne.

Cold am I,
Cold am I on the outside
But I'm waiting,
I'm waiting for the answers

Cold am I,
Cold am I
On the outside
But I'm waiting, waiting for the answers

Cold am I,
Cold am I on the outside
But I'm waiting, waiting for the answers
Cold am I, cold am I, but I'm waiting
For the answers
As if they'll come to me.

That song makes the hairs on my arms stand up because of Jordans voice. *happy sigh* God, obsessed much?! lol I can't believe this woman is from New Zealand! Such raw original talent!!
