Organic reactions - Soca Classics

Friday, December 14, 2007 clivia 6 Comments

That's all I can call it...
An Organic reaction...
When you're a soca lover....and maybe this is just because I am a Born Trinidadian...
Some songs produce a physical reaction in you ...sometimes without you being aware of it..
Im sure that music in GENERAL does that to everyone...
it produces a physical response...
But..
Maybe it's just me..
and feel free to refer to the disclaimer on my page...

I notice that most times its a Lavway...lol... that pace..you know??
Not too fast ..not too slow...
But something in the Chords..
In the song structure...[hmm...most of them have a minor key in it??]
Or a transition into a bridge ...
Must talk to spiritual advisor about that....


But I know....
I KNOW..
that there are songs...Calypso/Soca/Kaiso....
that produce an organic reaction in me...
ORGANIC...
my eyes water...
my taste buds wake up...
and I have to swallow...
the hairs on the back of my neck standup...
my arm pits tingle...
i tighten my stomach...and um other muscles..[the uhm...urine control ones??? BWAHAHAHAHAH]
I have this flight urge....or maybe it's a run urge???
Cause I need space...
I feel like i should be running...or moving ...or going somewhere..
Most times I end up jus running in circles...but the URGE Is there...

I would imagine that my facial expression is hilarious..
Because I want to tell somebody.....

do you Hear that??
do you? ..do you?
..do you feel that too?
It's in my chest... can you feel that too?
Am I crazy??
It's doing something to my body?
Should I worry?
I can't worry??
What if it breaks me??
Something's happening?
I don't know what it is...
Do I laugh?? Or Cry?? or Scream??
I'm Crazy right?
Oh Gorm it happening...
allyuh,....it happening...
and then...


HERE!!!

Random Convo In Traffic with Jamaican Male

Wednesday, December 12, 2007 clivia 3 Comments

THE SCENE:
Clivia: In car cursing at the traffic light...glancing out the window…
Next to me in the other car, a Jamaican male of indeterminable age...[you may ask how the hell can I tell he's jamaican?] Driving a random sleek car with Rims and impeccable detail job...with Movado Squeeze Breast playing at 9AM!!! HE JAMAICAN!!!
THE CONVO
Random Jamaican:
Mornin' Sweetness...dat cyar fit you...gimme yuh numba..

Clivia:
Oh thanks…I like it too....sorry I can't do that I don't Know you...I don't give my number to strangers..


Random Jamaican:
Bloood Cl$%&^t.....you have a sweet space in your teeth....and you Trini..so you could wine..and sing.Tek mi numba ...let me take you to the cluurb....[club... I assume??].

Clivia:
Sorry I don't feel comfortable with that
[He now pulls out of his lane...a LEFT turning lane actually...in between cars that are in the straight moving lane and pulls up mid-Lane next to me. There are now THREE , count'em THREE cars in a TWO car Lane....but i digress...
RJ:
You don't want friends? We can just be friends... pull the car over so I could see the rest of that body. Me sure seh it tight...

After which he begins to lick his lips...and Grin at me through the window...
Clivia:
[silence].
...light changes…….screech of tires and horns......as I speed off ....

I Swear..[Thanks Soca 919]

Wednesday, December 05, 2007 clivia 1 Comments

Listening to Soca 919 while at work..kinda lulls me into this calm, pleasant state.
I think its cause I hear these voices that sound like mine...
Instead of the Yankee nasal that I hear constantly...
I feel completely surrounded by it..and I hope my co-workers can understand me for the rest of the day!!
HAHAHA....
usually when I'm around my people i go "ISLAND" on them...and I have to repeat everything..

It reminds me of those saturday mornings I spoke about before...

I realized this morning that I'm working quietly with a half smile...
Cause I feel like I'm home...
Everybody sounding like my cousin...or my mother...
sigh..
Simple things..
Thanks Soca 919
