akira's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- a night out You know I swear to god when I was 10, 11, 12, and 13, I had no idea in hell just how bizzarre Duran Duran was. Ok now I was one of the teen bop girls that thoughts Nick Rhodes was the shit, I'll admit it. I'm not afraid. Ok so ya he was a flamer, with that pink lipstick, and the AMAZING eyeshadow any woman was jealous over, but to me he was a UK GOD!!! So my roommate and I went out to this goth club, YA LADIES AKIRA HAS FINALLY GOTTEN TO GO OUT!!! NOTIFY THE PRESS!!!, any so we got out to this club that I've been dying to go out to for what 5 years? So ya we go. Mostly I go to those clubs to people watch. The "Ritual Dancing Boy", the.."I'm making up my own music in my head as I dance girl", people of that nature. I love those clubs because people don't judge, people don't give a shit how old you are, now that I'm 30 things like this enter my mind often. I had a point here I swear I did...Oh ya Duran Duran. Ok anyway we're there, we're old, and then outta nowhere I hear this music start playing over the sound system...and I realize it's Duran Duran's "The Chauffer", my MOST favorite song of theirs ever in life, and no one, and I mean no one is dancing! Now I realize that I probably was totally over reacting, but I'm thinking "OK PEOPLE WHAT THE FUCK!!! THIS IS DURAN DURAN! THE VERY REASON FOR MOST OF YOUR EXSISTANCE!" I mean really do you have ANY idea how many children were concieved to that song???? Anyway, I start dancing and singing, then as the song progresses on I see more people out on the dance floor. Craziness I tell you sheer craziness! So ok from that point I've been obsessed with this song, just like my typical behaviour with music that means anything to me. So I obsess so much that I look it up online and download it. This is where I figure out that those boys in D2 were just a little off, either that or their drugs were REALLY REALLY good. Now I"ve known the words to this song, well I SANG the words to this song, but I never really listened to what I was singing, I just loved the music and the way the words flowed with the music, and the swirring sounds and such, but as I sat there singing, much like I'm doing right now, I'm thinking....WHAT????? WHAT???????? WHAT??????? So I look up the words on the internet because you can find anything in life on there, and after finding several things to enhance my penis size I found the site that I was looking for, under..duranduran.com.uk. go fig. I read the lyrics, then read the lyrics WITH the music, at which point I was even more confused then I was before. No matter really because I still love the song, and the music, only now I realize WHY my mom was always bitching at me to turn it down, or to shut my door/window because the neighboors must have thought I was on some really fucking out there drugs to listen to a song that really didn't make any sense!! haha I think most of the reason I love this song so much, actually to be honest it is the whole reason I love Duran Duran's music period, it reminds me of my mom. Now I know that's really odd because my mom didn't listen to them or even like them much, but I did, I had over 1000 pictures of them up on my walls when I was a kid, I had every one of their albums that I had either saved up to buy or she had gotten me, whenever we had the money she would buy me the magazines they were in, and she never once told me that I could listen to them as loud as I wanted, she rented their home videos when we would go to rent movies, even though I had rented it so often the guy had finally just said "keep it, I've made my money back triple times because of you already" plus I was the only person outside of my best friend that rented it anyway. So anything that has to do with them always remind me of my mom. It's just those odd things that do it. I mean really how many people can say that Duran Duran (before their break up) reminds them of their mother? Well I'm sure theirs a few but still. Out on the tar planes the glides are moving all looking for a new place to drive )O(Ave Akira - August 6th ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
