werewolf

Now I should really being doing this analysis on my song, natural mystic by bob marley, or I am doing the right thing I am not really sure. BUT I have complete confidence in what I am about to tell you! Werewolf by cocorosie is a pretty dam good song. It does not only sound good it feels good to. I've been listening to it now for the past day and a half or so with little exception and it's incredible. Its very rare to come across a sound that can't be put into some type of box by the listener. Maybe it's because my box store dosnt have a wide enough selection but the big box stores wouldn't do much better. (it's a table). The group is very interesting as well, the beats are done by a beatboxer not a machine, the lead is a rapper somehow, and the vocalist has the voice of an angle. Did I mention that they are from France? So unless they're fluent enough in English to write the song itself they lose some points for having a song writen for them but kanye does it so how bad could it really be. Eh but no way am I going to complain, the song is just extremely powerful and forceful in a subtle. Powerful in how it changes your mood while listening I can't imagine listening to the song and feeling some type connection into the story of the song. It uses extremely strong imagery that are at times disturbing but provocative lending another level. It just can't be put in a box extreme big ups to Lauren for finding this group.

On the reservation...

Living on a reservation would really suck. It seems to me that it's like your living your life as a dead end job. There is no way to have success on a reservation there are no busineses that are stimulating the small economy and even if there was there is no money to sustain it. It's just a continuous circle of depression heavy drinking and fry bread. If the movie is my only window into reservation life it would lead me to believe that no one that lives on a reservation seems to contribute anything to the larger community. I completely understood the motivation to just uproot and leave it all behind, what could your motivation be to stay in such a place besides for the obligation of living out your days with the people you call your family.
These reservation have been put in a box of what they can do. No matter what they cannot be independent of the goverment because unless the group is fortunate to have a good location and can open a casino and reak havoc on the white man who put you there by running their pockets and crunching their coin purses on the coin slots there is next to no chance of prosperity of anyform.
