morning yerba | manasto: Empire State of Mind (feat Alicia Keys)...

{Title}</morning yerba> </head> <body> <p> welcome to my tumblog, a sort of mixed media baby blog. my interests lie in documentary film, photography, yoga, art history, non-profit causes and coconuts. i blog about stuff that inspires me, but mostly, stuff that's funny, and stuff that really matters. friends usually share yerba mate by passing around a hollow gourd of deliciously hot steeped tea. this is my gourd that i share with you of my daily thoughts, expressions and moments. have a browse at my flickr photostream above. say hi at morningyerba(at)gmail(dot)com or follow me if you like what i post. </p> </body> </html></p> </div> <div id="clearfix"></div> </div> </div> <div id="content"> <div id="perma_nav"> <div class="newer"><a href="http://morningyerba.tumblr.com/post/232783237">Newer</a></div> <div class="older"><a href="http://morningyerba.tumblr.com/post/221655777">Older</a></div> <div id="clearfix"></div> </div> <ul> <li class="posts"> <div class="extAudio">Plays: 253</div> <div class="player"><script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="http://assets.tumblr.com/javascript/tumblelog.js?13"></script><span id="audio_player_232655775">[<a href="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" target="_blank">Flash 9</a> is required to listen to audio.]</span><script type="text/javascript">replaceIfFlash(9,"audio_player_232655775",'<div class="audio_player"><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://morningyerba.tumblr.com/swf/audio_player_black.swf?audio_file=http://www.tumblr.com/audio_file/232655775/tumblr_kskl09ulJP1qza3yv&color=FFFFFF" height="27" width="207" quality="best"></embed></div>')</script></div> <div class="caption"><p><a href="http://manasto.tumblr.com/post/232596401/empire-state-of-mind-feat-alicia-keys-by-jay-z" target="_blank">manasto</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><i>Empire State of Mind (feat Alicia Keys)</i> by Jay Z</p> <ol> <li>Umm… how late am I to this song?</li> <li>How fucking awesome is this song?</li> </ol> <p>I usually hate the idea that New York (among other cities) is one of the only places where a human being can live and actually be worth anything to the rest of the world, but this song is just about the first time I realized that my ideas of being happier in a bigger, more lively city are actually good ideas.</p> <p>What I mean is, this song evokes something… and it’s 100% the beat and Alicia Keys’ chorus. Not that Jay-Z is terrible in this song, because he’s on point, but those other two things really make the song.</p> <p><i>Also, for the record, this is the first time in a long, long time I’ve heard a song for the first time and could not go a day without listening to it, humming it, introducing or introducing it to friends (please note: my friends are J5 hippies).</i></p> </blockquote></div>
