Got a heart like Indiana
laugh like Louisiana
take me down to Alabama
show me some of that laid back vibe
kissing while we’re fishing in the moonlight…
Shine like California
high like an Arizona noontime, baby when you’re all mine
Anywhere, any place I go
You feel like home to me

Lulu And The Lampshades - You’re Gonna Miss Me

This is the first day of the rest of your life.
Because even in the dark you can still see the light.
It’s gonna be alright.

Theirs is my favorite cover of this song!

In 1997 Marsalis became the first jazz musician ever to win the Pulitzer Prize for music, for his epic oratorio, Blood on the Fields. In 2010 he launched a multi-year lecture series at Harvard to promote awareness of the importance of cultural literacy, with a special focus on the relationship between American music and the American identity.

Fool That I Am - Etta James

(Source: thelifesomewhatartistic)

r/linguistics, my Ghanaian friend has a thick accent when talking in English, but when he raps along with songs, his accent disappears? What happens to the accent? : linguistics 

As I have thought about this, I believe that his brain learns the phonemes as opposed to the words that the song says. In other words I think his brain subconsciously picks up on the sounds being emitted, and not the words being said which essentially makes a rap verse one single long sound. Crazy. Am I wrong? Right? I there already something to explain this (I’m sure there is)?

Powder your nose, paint your toes. Line your lips and keep ‘em closed. Cross your legs, dot your I’s, and never let ‘em see you cry. Run and hide your crazy and start actin’ like a lady ‘cause I raised you better, gotta keep it together even when you fall apart. This ain’t my mama’s broken heart
