*dumbfounded*

never realised that dj shadow's "six days" that ive been gushing about is actually about (cue drumroll) WAR.. or rather the state of the world as it relates to wars being raged. heck, interpret it for yourself.

DJ Shadow feat. Mos Def- Six Days
from the album Private Press

At the starting of the week
At summit talks you'll hear them speak
It's only Monday
Negotiations breaking down
See those leaders start to frown
It's sword and gun day

Tomorrow never comes until it's too late

You could be sitting taking lunch
The news will hit you like a punch
It's only Tuesday
You never thought we'd go to war
After all the things we saw
It's April Fools' day

Tomorrow never comes until it's too late
Tomorrow never comes until it's too late

You hear a whistling overhead
Are you alive or are you dead?
It's only Thursday
You feel a shaking on the ground
A billion candles burn around
Is it your birthday?

Tomorrow never comes until it's too late
Tomorrow never comes until it's too late
Make tomorrow come I think it's too late

gotta love artistes who come up with thotful stuff for songs instead of the formulaic boy/girlband stuff. not that i dont appreciate that, but theres a time and space (ho ho injoke) for each.. now's the time for thotprovoking stuff (if only to make up for the lack of it in prose on this blog).

incidentally, mos def is so cool! geddit? mos def? sheer ingenuity.
