You're My Flame

Song by Zero 7 (here)

"You make hay when the sun don't shine

You don't need a dollar, you don't need a dime

You burn at both ends yet still you're fine

You're my flame"

Oh I am being seasonal again. *grins* This is the exact state of the maple leaves on the trees right now.  I had been wanting to do this song as an act and then turn it into my theme song, but I was told to keep my current theme song, and I concurred. 

So the costume after my metamorphosis has special significance to me.  I have made this specias of moth, Polyphemus sp., as a costume in RL.  Granted it is no where this sexy! It was made over 10 years ago and still does environmental ed., teaching kids about nocturnal creatures.  

Just playing around...

Catch Me While I Sleep

Song by P!nk (here)

"Why are you constantly believing that I (I) 

I could ever give you what you needed (Ohhhh)

Baby baby please don't put your faith in me

I Don't know what to say

Cuz it's all a dream to me anyways"

This is the act I was avoiding when I switched it for Central Reservation. Sometimes when I am processing rl stuff, it may seem like a good idea to dance it off, but at the same time it may be too fresh.  A little time and space and it was just right.  

It is a beautiful song and very soulful. The angle I took was a cryogenics capsule in space that once I was asleep would put me out in space.  This one of those songs where the choreo just flowed seamlessly, always a good sign.

I could not get the props to work the way I envisioned the act, but I love where it went all the same.  And at the time I did it, it was very cathartic. A good ending to a long chapter in the novel of my life.
