The Brain Does Its Business.

 

What is a Santa Ana wind?

Brains are independent, if somewhat unpredictable and frustrating. This three-pound organ controls the entire body. But does it really?

Yes, of course it does. The brain somehow managed to give Beethoven his music, and Georgia O'Keefe her art. So what in the world was Toby Turner's brain doing??

YouTube, 3 minutes long. Watch it a 2nd time. Why not?

My own brain has been rebelling. These are "dark room days" for me, as the Santa Ana Winds hit our area. It is 84 degrees in Murrieta, California, with the hot winds blowing.  So, I will listen to this song a few times with shades over my eyes. My brain then might start smiling.

There is one delightful part of the verses, where Toby says "Cold Play", but I am certain he says "Cornflakes". Oh well.

Here are the lyrics, since I can almost guarantee you'll want to read along. 

Lyrics: Dramatic Song
Toby Turner

This song sounds dramatic
But I'm bad at writing words
If you don't speak English
This probably sounds pretty good

You'd probably think I'm singing
'Bout some pretty serious stuff
But in reality I'm singing 'bout
The lack of stuff

I'm singing 'bout
This part's intense
And emotional
As long as you don't understand it
Your foreign grandma
Would love this song

Please send it to her
And she'll probably tell her
Foreign friends about the song her
Grandson or daughter sent her today

This song might hit the charts in her country
If parts sounded like Coldplay
If the chorus sounds like Coldplay
Then I put some La-La-La's in there
La la la la la
La la la la la la la la (Coldplay)

Hopefully your foreign grandma
Listens to this song everyday
And if she asked you to translate…
