We are releasing a new juicy Gumpcast episode this Wednesday about how music is one of (if not THE MOST) powerful ways to learn about a human being, who they are, what they have been through and their story.
In preparation for that episode I want to as you today: What music or song can help a stranger learn more about your own heroes journey/ the story of your people?
Kae Tempest’s Grace 💕
Wow i really shivered to these lyrics:
What's my problem?
I'm always drawn back to that wrestling match
Ten thoughts in the ring of my mind playing catch
I can't live for the noise in my head
I just wanna dig a ditch in the soil of my breath and bury my brain there
But love said, "If you bring forth what is within you
What you bring forth will save you but if you do not bring forth
What is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you"
That particular part totally made me weep the first time I heard it. So powerful.
Ooooh yea https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAQ0oTEB-Ws
Ideally? Olivia Lufkin's Celestial Delinquent.
More likely? Garth Brooks' Song that Nobody Knows.
