GRACE UNDER PRESSURE

John Everett Millais   

Art. Pre-Raphaelites. Shakespeare. Indie/Guitar/Rock/Classical Music. Taylor Swift.

'I think about what I’d think of my decisions when I’m 80 looking back, and it helps me make sound, responsible choices.' - Taylor Swift

(If you are a band following me in the hopes I will check out your music, I'm sorry but I probably won't. I don't mean to be rude. I usually find new music through NME Radio.)

Sang froid and Equanimity. Grace under pressure.

'Fill the unforgiving minute...'.

'Oh, Maya says I'm lacking in depth,
I will do my best' - The Strokes

'You're all Chrome' - Heads Will Roll - Yeah Yeah Yeahs

'The ballad of a dove. Go with peace and love.' - The Band Perry

'Excuse me if I spoke too soon
My eyes have always followed you around the room' - NGHFB

'Take my hand, knot your fingers through mine / And we'll walk from this dark room for the last time' - Open Your Eyes - SP

'Shut your eyes, I spin the big chair / And you'll feel dizzy, light, and free / And falling gently on the cushion / You can come and sing to me' - Shut Your Eyes - SP

'Come to me. Just in a dream. Come on and rescue me' - Madness - Muse

Desire leads to SUFFERING.

'The whole of life becomes an act of letting go but what always hurts the most is not taking a moment to say goodbye.' - Life of Pi

Dave Grohl Interview - 18 April 2011

His inner-strength, he acknowledges, had been forged early on. And, in a way, out of necessity. “I stopped doing drugs when I was 20. I was finished with drugs before Nirvana even started. And I didn’t do hard drugs. I saw it as something that would make everything a little more difficult.

“I also know myself well enough to keep out of that. As soon as I get my face in a pile of coke, it’s game over – teeth out, money gone. You see the way I drink coffee! It’d be all over!” he laughs.

“Plus, I’ve seen it before – before I was in Nirvana I knew people who had OD’d. I love to play music. So why endanger that with something like drugs?”
