New Music- Jack White... Love Interrupted On Such A Winter's Day

I am a fan of White Stripes & the understated songs that suggest something simpler, but the work of Jack White is not for the faint of heart, speaking of murder plots & doors slamming on fingers, to lost friends & fresh enemies.

Love Interruption is not a song that needs a video, & the grey tones & a simple set in the video does not seem very compelling. What becomes the focal point is not the camera work, but the throaty sound of Ruby Amanfu mixed White’s vocals, a combination that shouldn't work, & almost doesn't. Love Interruption works for me in the midst of winter skies & winter sickness & winter regrets.

I want love to

roll me over slowly

stick a knife inside me,

& twist it all around.

I want love to

grab my fingers gently

slam them in a doorway

put my face into the ground

I want love to

murder my own mother

& take her off to somewhere

like hell or up above.

I want love to

change my friends to enemies,

change my friends to enemies

& show me how it's all my fault.

I wont let love disrupt,

 corrupt or interrupt me

I wont let love disrupt,

 corrupt or interrupt me

I wont let love disrupt,

 corrupt, or interrupt me anymore.

I want love to

walk right up & bite me

grab ahold of me & fight me

leave me dying on the ground.

& I want love to

split my mouth wide open

 & cover up my ears,

& never let me hear a sound.

I want love to,

forget that you offended me

or how you have defended me,

when everybody tore me down.

Yeah I want love to

change my friends to enemies,

change my friends to enemies

& show me how it's all my fault.

I wont let love disrupt,

 corrupt or interrupt me

I wont let love disrupt,

 corrupt or interrupt me

I wont let love disrupt,

 corrupt, or interrupt me anymore.

White

Beer, Books, Bikes, Bands, Brews, Bakeries, Bears... Portland

The last 2 days have been a gift. After one of the coolest, wettest summers on record, with a growing season too short to have ripe tomatoes or pumpkins, Portland has enjoyed a glorious autumn. We had days in the 70s & 80s in October.The start of November has been a gift. Today is the 4th day of the month & it will 70+ & sunny. By a zany set of circumstances, I have a 5 days stretch with only one work day. Today, we will continue to put the garden to bed, but I plan to spend a big chunk of time just "being", & enjoying Post Apocalyptic Bohemia & feeling very fortunate to live in Portland, in my nutty neighborhood of Kenton. Tonight the husband is making a vegan feast, I am serving a special autumn cocktail, as we entertain Pony Boy & his BF- Special K for a Glee Marathon. During my staycation, I am hoping to exercise one of my most important maxims:" If to feels or tastes good; more is even gooder."
