Joan as Police Woman – How Come You're So Solid Gold Lyrics 15 years ago
quotes from joan
How Come You’re So Solid Gold?
“Start now”
I have learned that you must relieve yourself from any secrets. If anyone tells you to keep something hidden, you can very easily be manipulated. Do not fool yourself into thinking that you are exempt.

Game of Life
“Will I fall into the arms that cannot hold me or will I hit the target and fall into the arms of you?”
The red giant is the last fiery phase of a star before it explodes and dies. I was heading straight for this apocalyptic end. I realized I could not look for arms to catch me if I fall. I have to be prepared for the fall and be able to get up myself. I had to form my own fate. There was a time, though, that I let the concept of fate hold me back.

quotes from joan

This is an attempt to recover the song in the reed, how it bends to become you”
Move from the closed eye of darkness into the open eye of light and potential. Rumi, the most famous of the Sufi poets, deals with this concept frequently. He describes the wild-growing reed as a potential flute full of songs and melodies. Everything, he feels, has every potential if one is open to it. The world is a constantly growing garden this way. The most mundane object becomes the most exciting. I marry romance and dedicate my life and death to it.

“I want everything”
“..staring at my face again” is a response to all the women who recount stories about men who talk to their tits rather than their faces. I say that sucks but stop being a victim and letting it hurt you. “I know my tits are hot but I just need you to fix my faucet” might work. Hold yourself like someone who should be respected and you will receive it most of the time. Trust yourself to the extent that preconceptions (Farrakhan) are able to be eradicated.

quotes from joan

“I will bend in the ocean and spread the sky”
I had recently experienced massive personal trauma and change. I sensed this movement unfinished. My band The Dambuilders would break up in a few months. As a child, one experiences life with wonderment. I knew I had to access this magical, holy and safe place to survive the tumult that would ensue.
