I've Given Up Trying To Understand What

Rastafarianism And Reggae Music Have Always Kind Of Resonated With Me. Those Ideas Of Redemption, Liberation And Overcoming Oppression Through Music, Weed And Community. Fighting Evil Through Love And Music, I Think It's Just A Really Powerful Idea.

I Know A Girl Who Cries When She Practices Violin Because Each Note Sounds So Pure It Just Cuts Into Her, And Then The Melody Comes Pouring Out Her Eyes. Now, To Me, Everything Else Just Sounds Like A Lie.

Once You Realize That Everyone Is In The Same Boat, That Everyone Is Just As Insecure And Childlike As Everyone Else, That All These Jokers In D.c. Ruining Our World Are Just Greedy Kids Grabbing For Marbles - I Think That Realization Means You're An Adult.

The Idea Of Forever Is Kind Of Ridiculous, Which Is Unfortunate Because Its Kind Of A Nice Thing To Say, You Know. I Think It Softens The Blow Of Mortality And Having To Say Goodbye To Everything You Know And Everyone You Love And All That Kind Of Thing.

You Could Be Happy, The Minute You Try. Why Won't You Try? Oh Won't You Try?
