Toujours la pour servir les autres, surtout si à la fin cela sert ses propres intérêts.

Healer

Take the fun

I am ashamed of danger

Release the bite

Life is forever

Kick the dirt

Strike down

No sacred

Field of our carnage

Our word

Will not fool

The pain it encountered

Shave your pill to dust

Inhaler

Hear ground rumble

Train derailed

Shadow of the neighbor

TORCHE-REVERSE INVERTED

Torche, "Healer"

[littlepawz]

“When she applied to run in the Boston Marathon in 1966 they rejected her saying: “Women are not physiologically able to run a marathon, and we can’t take the liability.” Then exactly 50 years ago today, on the day of the marathon, Bobbi Gibb hid in the bushes and waited for the race to begin. When about half of the runners had gone past she jumped in. She wore her brother’s Bermuda shorts, a pair of boy’s sneakers, a bathing suit, and a sweatshirt. As she took off into the swarm of runners, Gibb started to feel overheated, but she didn’t remove her hoodie. “I knew if they saw me, they were going to try to stop me,” she said. “I even thought I might be arrested.” It didn’t take long for male runners in Gibb’s vicinity to realize that she was not another man. Gibb expected them to shoulder her off the road, or call out to the police. Instead, the other runners told her that if anyone tried to interfere with her race, they would put a stop to it. Finally feeling secure and assured, Gibb took off her sweatshirt. As soon as it became clear that there was a woman running in the marathon, the crowd erupted—not with anger or righteousness, but with pure joy, she recalled. Men cheered. Women cried. By the time she reached Wellesley College, the news of her run had spread, and the female students were waiting for her, jumping and screaming. The governor of Massachusetts met her at the finish line and shook her hand. The first woman to ever run the marathon had finished in the top third.”

Wednesday, November 29: Floor, "War Party"

Torche was so beloved after the monumental one-two punch of Meanderthal and Harmonicraft that the few who knew that Steve Brooks was previously in a different band had mostly forgotten that fact.  But apparently Brooks had enough juice at that point to briefly resurrect Floor, putting out Oblation a decade after their breakup.  And for the many who weren’t aware of the frontman’s history, “War Party” was all the more confusing because as storming, catchy and fun as it was, it didn’t feel the slightest bit different from Torche’s (admittedly very awesome) discography.  Floor’s back catalogue was a touch doomier and slower, but this track was a barnburner full of Brooks’ soaring hollering, pummeling drums and riffing that was both slamming and cavernous.  It ended up making Oblation pretty much a Torche album by another name, even with the otherwise different lineup.  Of course, that still meant “War Party” totally ruled, even if it was basically an extension of Torche’s hot streak.
