Sorry. I’ll be back through MI soon. I really do love it there.
Baz Luhrmann - “Everybody’s Free (To Wear Sunscreen)”
Here’s the exact song my new tattoo represents. Like I mentioned, if you’ve never heard this, take a few minutes to sit down and really listen.
I’ve got a lot of questions about it, so I figured I’d go ahead and let you all know the simple explanation of the meaning behind my new tattoo.
The text of it says, “de tous libre”, which is French (a language I have yet to learn, but I really want to, and plan to, soon.) The rough translation is “of all free”. However, that’s supposed to represent a song title, “Everybody’s Free”, (which, the song’s actual full title is “Everybody’s Free (To Wear Sunscreen)”.)
To put it simply, the tattoo represents that “song” in full. The song was actually derived by a guy named Baz Luhrmann. He got the words from an essay that was originally written for an essay in the Chicago Tribune, back in 1997. Every word in the essay/song is something I look to live by. Every single time I listen to it, I literally get chills multiple times. I’ve personally never heard or read anything more simply beautiful than “Everybody’s Free.”
So, that’s that :)
I’ll be posting a photo of the tattoo right above this post,
then the entire song just above that, for those of you that haven’t heard it.
Please be sure to listen to it if you haven’t before, I promise you won’t be let down.
I welcome you to the first minute of what will begin the greatest year of my life.
This “greatest year” won’t begin until July 14th,… however, July is already here.I decided a long time ago, for no apparent reason, that my 23rd year on this planet was going to be one of the best I will ever see. So, to put it lightly, I’m actually super stoked for my own birthday for once.
Things are changing around me in exciting ways.
I’m seeing close friends gain huge success, and it’s weird to know my own upcoming plans too (that are yet unannounced), that will allow us all to see what we can make of ourselves in this wonderful chaos we call life.I’m excited, to say the least.
I hope this day has treated you well.
If you happen to follow my music, or my writing, I’ll be updating you on the ridiculous (in a good way) things in store very very very soon.
Just thought I’d re-state the bold part ;)
The Now You Know Tour has officially come to an end.
I’ve got about a 6 hour drive back to TN tomorrow,
but after I’m settled back in on Wednesday I’ll be sure to post a nice update on how fun the tour was, as well as some future plans I have coming up.
Hopefully you’re all still doing well in Tumblrland.
I’m looking forward to catching back up with you all!
:)
I can be quite undecisive.
Here’s an example:
This isn’t huge amazing news at all, but I’ve decided to move my main Twitter back to twitter.com/backseatgoodbye. Having two Twitters basically became useless and a bit awkward. So, now the only Twitter I’ll be posting on from here on out is @backseatgoodbye
:)
You have changed my life in so many ways. Thank you thank you thank you. :)
Thanks, I’m quite glad to hear that. And, you’re very welcome :)
