Eroticism

I'm still watching her...I've been sitting here, listening watching...its been 35 minutes of fluidity..of velvet, of honeyed cream...I just want to kiss her arms...
 
Eroticism and its suggestiveness pulls me, attracts me more than the revelation. The moment before is most alluring because it reeks of possibility. The moment after is mere certainty.

Eroticism by its very nature is suggestive, lacking manifest clarity for the unperceptive. Eroticism demands a slow-down critical view.

Therefore, at first blush, that potentiality will always be greater than "mere certainty' (i.e., fruition) since the mind accepts Possibility, which is often more than the realization.

Nice, critical thoughts, softbird. :heart:

You’re kind to day that.. thank you! But it’s the thrill, the gorgeous dance .. I thrive on such things!!

Eroticism is a gorgeous dance! It's momentary, it's ephemeral .... miss it and it's gone ... but be watchful because something like it, may return (as with these words and your images) :heart:
 
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!
View attachment 2564145

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!
View attachment 2564149

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)

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! 💋
 
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.
Where are you going? For how long?
 
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.
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?

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

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.
 
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.
