If you're feeling low...do this!

[Natasha~]

If you're feeling low these days, as I have, oh geez, do the following--if you have it available to you, I'm pretty sure most of you have this.

1) Go get your Special Edition of Scarlet's Walk
2) Remove the DVD
3) Play in DVD Player or computer
4) Choose 'Audio Options' and turn on Tori's Commentary
5) In Main Menu choose play all.
6) Sit back and soak in the "It's all going to be okay in the end" feeling.

Watching this seriously made me feel like, "wow, life is so positive." I loved the commentary on Gold Dust the best.
I you all!

Love,
Nattie~

Ah, I wish I had Special Edition of SW. Well, at least I *have* the album, 'cause it would be lonely without it. Tori's music is special, that's for sure.
Well, I have The Beekeeper with DVD tho.

What Tori says about Gold Dust then? It's one of my favourite songs from SW.

Well, here are the videos:

A Sorta Fairytale: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bu1m_HFrs5U

Some of the commentary over both songs:

Gold Dust:
"Gold Dust is very much about being other people and feeling how they feel and feeling how you felt at another time when you've been another place. And it really isn't your past because somehow these frames are written on your body and they've made you what you are. Nothing is gone... it's just, on your body map. And this project has been very much about finding, I guess, my body map. I think if you're going to um, really write a work about a road trip and about America and who she is, then you have to go see her in, um, all her glory and all her uh... bad fast-food joints and good truck stops and everything in between. You know, you can't just go to the coast and then fly, do the fly-over-country trip. You really have to experience it. And the crazy thing about it is, the gold that we found, you find it so much when you're not even thinking that you're in it. And you turn around and you see this pair of eyes and somebody puts a bowl of chili in front of you and... it's Heaven, it doesn't get any better than that."

A Sorta Fairytale:
"I think that there is a place where she realizes that people come in and out of your life, sometimes for one day, sometimes for longer, and all of them make you what you are. You can't separate these people out of you. They form who you are, even the ones that you kind of say, "Well, you know, I don't know if I wanna be formed by them anymore." But you are in some way... you are, that's why maybe you don't have to look at them so harshly because they have affected you. At the end, though, you know, it's... us as individuals... with our... hmm... with our love for the land, for something untangible that, when soulmates come and go, you're never alone even when you're standing just you and your shoes, because she carry them with you. "

Oh, thanks a lot! It's nice to hear/read Tori's thoughts. ^^

I haven't done it yet, but I will. Thanks for posting this, Nat.

I actually have ideas about stress relievers, too. It's connected to your tea question that I have been trying to answer to you for days. lol But I have to modify it now because I think essential oil steam inhalations are better than Kava tea. Oh well! I'll post something about it soon.

[Natasha~]

Ooh, I've been thinking about a health section, what do you think?

Thanks so much for posting that. I've been, well, not exactly down lately, but I've been working with a very difficult issue, and it seems as if Tori's words were spoken from my own heart. Or maybe it's just the common humanity we all share...

Anyway, this was the perfect thing to read right now. I'm really glad you posted it, hun ♥

[Natasha~]

No problem Jay. I could see that many people are struggling right now and I thought this would help. I'm glad it did.
