Fans, Here are some pics of k.d.. Best to view full screen and the highest HD your device will allow. k.d is very gracious about photos. She probably saw me clicking away for 2 hours and just let it be. Technically, these images were taken on private property. And technically, k.d. had a (legal) […]
k.d. lang is awesome at singing songs about love; especially love that is not quite fulfilled. Truly, it is one of her better talents. Not only the smooth and creamy vocals we have come to expect, but the sultry emotion that k.d. is able to make leap out of the mic and into our veins. […]
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 […]
Nothing like an intense self-portrait by a woman artist and song by k.d. lang to get one’s intellectual juices flowing. At least, this is what happens to me when I look at this portrait. I examine it and the whole experience is so intensely raw and gutting that I think immediately of its melodic “self-portrait” […]
One of the things I like about music and art, is that one can fuse the older with the more modern. In doing this, new ideas and facets of both emerge. In this post, I want to juxtapose this painting by Gericault with k.d. lang’s Season of Hollow Soul. For die hard followers of this blog, […]
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 […]
If you were to drive down this typical Portland street, you would never guess that 8 hours from the time this shot was taken, two of the most awesome musical artists would be taking the house down in one of the modest structures that line the curbs. The Secret Society is well hidden and easy to […]
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 […]
When someone is talented, courageous, or even just off their rocker, the proverbial inflated Ego comes with it. And although Egos come without any guarantee, it’s rare that they fade too soon. Let’s face facts. All Egos are die hards, and they hang in until the bitter end. In fact, for some, Egos succeed them […]
