Eroticism

[softbird]

This would delight @Coconutty70 , and since I’ve found these pictures…

I have to say, in my mind, I picture the perfect woman - she isn’t glamorous, but she must have intelligence in her eyes, and a smile that’s earthy..

Oh look at you, trying to trap me into doing nothing else this morning but fall in love! I have packing and travelling to do…I will use some discipline and save it for later when I get to my hotel room. G O R G E O U S! Both you and her.

Oh gosh.. Ma.. the Japanese concept of the spaces between things, turns the moment before into an act in itself, a kind of spiritual ascendance that celebrates each second that gives birth to the va final moment! And as they kid, they treasure this moment as if it will never again recur - ichigo ichie. This was precious, thank you!

Beautiful. I imagine softly walking up behind her and placing a kiss on her neck, to make her smile while she plays.

Hania Rani in her studio. You spoil me.

Today I’m helping my daughter move up to Bath City for her final year of university studies. It’s always a slightly bitter sweet day. I’ll stay for a couple of nights so I get a full day in Bath… it’s such a beautiful city.

 

[NivKay]

That’s sweet!!

 

[NivKay]

Sweeter still is the thought of an artist in her studio

Bath City.. was this where you saw beauty in every face? Or was that somewhere else?

At least you’ll have a lovely couple of days !! Have you read Alain de Bottom’s Art of Travel?

Ok, this might require quite a few photos… but I think it would be good to revisit the eroticism of the female musician. I know, I have kind of been here before, but I think I’d like to list *some* of my favourites (it could honestly be a HUGE list!)

1. Debbie Harry, because… well… I was a teenage boy once! She’s an icon and oh, so erotic!

2. Dua Lipa, because I don’t just admire her body, but she is so intelligent… and I find that much more attractive

3. Marianne Faithful, because “Why D’ya Do It?”. Uh!

4. Poppy Ackroyd, because her music stirs me so much!

5. Marianne Crebassa, because of her voice, and for her sophistication. Pop over to YouTube and watch her sing Duo des Fluers with Sabine Devieilhe, and you’ll see what I mean
View attachment 2564147

6. Sonah Jobarteh, because she is strikingly talented, and the fact that she is such a pioneer. She has such beauty when she plays!

7. Imelda May, because she’s an inner city Dublin girl, who knows her sh*t, loves her family and sings her heart out. When I watched her live, I was totally in awe of her voice and her charisma, and the dancing was fine!

8. Sophie Alloway, because I’ve never seen a percussionist play such complex rhythms whilst staying so calm… and because when she smiles (which she always does when she plays) it’s so infectious!

9. Lola Young, because she tells it how it is! The world needs her. Watch her sing the “Messy” (live for Like a Version) recorded at triplej studios. She’s the real deal, pure authenticity.

10. Bjork, just because I’m in love with artists… and she is truly an artist.

I’m only allowed ten attached images!

11. Nataly Dawn (Pomplamoose), because… Look… just go to the Pomplamoose YouTube channel and fall in love. Honestly, her voice is gorgeous and the way she expresses and moves when she sings will give you delight! Yum!

12. Sina Doering. I am a percussionist. I love female percussionists. Sina is ridiculously talented and the way she gets lost in the rhythms, and how she moves when she plays makes me want to watch her play forever!

There are more, but I won’t go further so i don’t labour it. I can’t really put into words how much I adore experiencing female musicality. Does it belong in a thread about eroticism? I think so, yes. This is not just admiration… the thought of being in the company of such artistry, talent, sensitivity and emotional intelligence makes me feel something tangible, somehow… and the erotic is certainly this elusive desire.

Finally, my number one is Hania Rani. When I watched the recording of her live performance at Invalides, Paris, my heart completely melted. She is possibly one of the most beautiful people on Earth in my humble opinion. Erotic! OMG yes! YES! The way she touches the piano. The way she sings. Her movement… the way she physically engages with the music! The way she stays in contact with her band. The way she goes into a state of flow when she is in the music… so in the present moment, bringing us along with her! The sophistication of it. The sheer beauty of her music! The feeling that she puts into it. The technical skill. I’m gushing, aren’t I? Yeah… She’s special.

If you want an instant hit of what I’m talking about, head straight to her performance of “Buka” at 32 mins in, watch her get lost in it, smiling, having a joyous, beautiful moment right in front of us. And watch through Ghosts which comes afterwards. You see? Do you see what I see? *sigh*

Long post, eh? Sorry! (not sorry)

Pomplamoose looks interesting.. great music recommendations! Thanks a bunch!!

 

[softbird]

I hope this isn’t crossing the line or anything.. but I’m sensing some heat here .. I mean it’s all good.. but.. just saying..I think it’s actually quite sweet.. won’t mention names.. bit cryptic.. I’ll shut up.. If music be the food of love, play on!

Erm..

Yes, This is the ultimate place for people watching and I do notice myself seeing so much beauty here. I’ve had a few “wow!” moments today.

I haven’t read it, but it’s just gone onto “The List”. Thanks.

Longing is birdsong in the gloom, in a forest of unheeding hearts. But longing is also what one remembers when love dies, and all one has are the memories of those moments of excruciating desire.
Longing is a wound, a flower beautiful and blossoming in the desert.

It so is and I’ve been a few times. And will be more as my son is starting there next week.

The perfect woman? She must have an intelligence and lightness in her eyes; her lips reflecting her humor and readiness to laugh. . For me, that’s perfection.

I love the dark gold/bronze colours. And so seductive... I love the mouth on her neck! Her fingers are going to move... seeking to where we think they will, surely.

Congratulations!

Sometimes, we just want to be wrapped up in another person. @softbird talks about longing, and I think of yearning too. For me the yearning comes from so many barriers! Perhaps it is the hurtful, cold eyes of another, who sits in front of us, but which makes us feel unable to approach, despite seeing a need in them, and feeling our own needs. Perhaps it is the indifference that familiarity brings, and the taking for granted of us that makes us feel like a distant afterthought. It might be physical distance… we are often so far away from each other that we are beyond reach… but we want to be reached and touched with such intensity! It may be something which is taboo or illicit, and then the barriers show up as the need for secrecy and the longing for a chance opportunity! Sometimes we notice another but they haven’t noticed us… and this can create an impassible crevasse. Maybe sometimes circumstances of life just collude against us. And yet the desire to be with each other doesn’t fade; the erotic desire within us sees the impossibility of the moment and whispers to us in our ear that if we can’t have this, then we must surely just need to want it more, and then it will happen. The yearning!

What do you yearn for? The softness of arms wrapped completely around you, the erotic sensation of their touch, as they slide a hand under your top just to feel your warm skin against their hand. The unsaid intent of a hand placed on your thigh, subtly pulling you closer to let you know that they want you.

To bury your head into their neck and shoulder, as if to hide away from everyone and everything but them, placing your open lips on their neck and leaving them there, like you’re claiming them for yourself; smothered in them; immersing yourself in them. To feel so entangled with them, and so tightly held that you feel like you have become one!

I long for her hands on me; her arms around me; her lips against mine, and to be wrapped up in her! Enveloped in her mind and body! This is the deep, erotic, impossible yearning I have felt.

What does one yearn for? For the world, for the vastness of sensation, but also for the small things those perfect days which fall like an invisible rhythm. One yearns for … understanding.. even love is nothing without it. When one loves without understanding, then it is as if you’ve kissed the empty shell of an egg, brittle.

To be seen, some would say. But more than this, to be felt, not in terms of touch alone, but sensed. Because everything begins with sense, with the awareness of something, a connection, trust, a tethering that does not hinge upon explanation, nor celebration- it is as true as life is true.

Awareness, then. Here are some simplicities I yearn for.

Ooohh all the simplicities, I've yearned for ... the touchstones of a perfect partnership (in order of the images):

a soulful kiss
a closeness, with simple contact as its own reward
sharing a silent moment, within a common pursuit
an unexpected kiss, non-amorous ... all the same ... wonderful
the comfort of sleeping together
surrendering to each other in mutual exhaustion ... the surrender is blissful

This could be turned into a poem!
