First, a few preliminaries to this post. (1) I need to thank die hard kd fans for telling me about this song. (2) I think this CD is out of print and it is not even on iTunes anymore. So to find it, you kind of have to go to eBay or Amazon and hope […]
Let me start by stating that this post is DANGEROUS. It is so because I am taking three things k.d. said during the Soundstrue Pema Chodron and k.d. lang event and drawing a conclusion that is probably not mine to infer. But, she did go out in public and make these three statements. So I […]
I always feel just a little bit sorry for k.d. when she is put on the “Buddhism” Hot Seat like she was at Royce Hall June 20, 2015. While it is true that she is a practicing Buddhist, talking about her own spiritual journey is not something she seems to really enjoy. Of course, I […]
Say What? Not Focus On k.d.’s Voice? It may sound odd for me to ask you to stop focusing on k.d. lang’s voice. But this is what I am going to ask you to do for this blog post. The reason I am asking you to humor me on this is: I want to argue […]
No doubt love is the single most inspiring force in life. In our modern lives, we throw the term around as if we have clarity about what it is and means. We say we want it, have it, miss it, did it, hope for it and more; just add any verb. But here […]
This is part two of a series. Here is Part One if you have not read it. So as an example of the entire album of Ingenue being about one seeing the limits of the Ego and trying to let go, I’ll start with Still Thrives This Love. Now, I know there are many other interpretations of this song […]
This weekend I drove to Tehachapi, CA (about 2.5 hours north of Los Angeles) to experience what I thought was going to be a retreat; or at least, a “retreat” according to my newbie Buddhist mind. Indeed, it was a retreat, but the term is used very differently here in the land of the Nyingma Tibetan […]
Meditation is important to k.d. not only in her own life, but also in her efforts to make it more accessible to others worldwide. For many, it is a difficult habit to begin and maintain. If you are lucky and already happen to be ultra self-disciplined, this article may not help you much. Yet, if […]
k.d. lang is an artist. This is my primary tenet and the one I feel is not attributed to k.d. enough. And while I am preaching to her fan base here, perhaps a stray “muggler” will read this and be swayed to understand the true artistic gift we have in k.d. lang. A second tenet, […]
Can we talk about Watershed? No one ever seems to want to talk about it. They talk about “Crying” or “Constant Craving” or swap photo’s of k.d. from 30 years ago, but no one seems to remember or want to mention it. Am I missing something or is Watershed the first album where k.d. has a […]
