Despite what you heard....this...is No SAD DIVA....

So last night was the opening night of Dance Diaspora's (the West African dance group I work with) 'SAD DIVAS: Why I Sang da Song'z I Sang' dance show which I am apart of. It was pretty good! There are alot of things that could've been better...but there's only so much you can do the night of the show. I tried to get rest...but you know how Virgos get sometimes...just keep thinking and finally get overrun with thoughts and such. I'm trying really hard not to get caught up in crazy- courtesy of some beautiful people I know that keep me more grounded than I let on or realize. Few times in my life I get confused about the things that are happening, what the universe has given me (and sometimes snatched right back cause they thought I wasn't giving it due attention), and they just happen to understand my need to analyze EVERYTHING....(oh great baby Jesus in a manger.)

But anyways...I am currently listening to Sade's 'King of Sorrow'. I'm kinda intrigued that this was the song that started to play while I was writing this post. It was surprisingly uplifting despite it's initial message. 

     

Lyrics:

I'm crying everyone's tears
And there inside our private war
I died the night before
And all of these remnants of joy and disaster
What am I suppose to do
*
I want to cook you a soup that warms your soul
But nothing would change, nothing would change at all
It's just a day that brings it all about
Just another day and nothing's any good
*
The DJ's playing the same song
I have so much to do
I have to carry on
I wonder if this grief will ever let me go
I feel like I am the king of sorrow, yeah
The king of sorrow
*
I suppose I could just walk away
Will I disappoint my future if I stay
It's just a day that brings it all about
Just another day and nothing's any good
*
The DJ's playing the same song
I have so much to do
I have to carry on
I wonder will this grief ever be gone
Will it ever go
I'm the king of sorrow, yeah
The king of sorrow
*
I'm crying everyone's tears
I have already paid for all my future sins
There's nothing anyone
Can say to take this away
It's just another day and nothing's any good
*
I'm the king of sorrow, yeah
King of sorrow
I'm the king of sorrow, yeah
King of sorrow
