Southern change gonna come at last

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  No more exams!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Free at last!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Now I just need to wait for the marks... WHY MUST IT TAKE SO LONG TO CORRECT A DEPARTMENTAL EXAM!!!!!!!!! At least I only have one... I don't need to wait long for my other courses...

I'm also very excited for being able to take Traditional Photography again!!!!!  Photography and music are two of my favourite things!!!!!!  If I knew how to copyright my pictures I'd post them, but I don't and I don"t want them to be stolen...

Ah yes, music!  Song for today... I know!  Sourthern Man by Neil Young.


Southern man
better keep your head
Don't forget
what your good book said
Southern change
gonna come at last
Now your crosses
are burning fast
Southern man

I saw cotton
and I saw black
Tall white mansions
and little shacks.
Southern man
when will you
pay them back?
I heard screamin'
and bullwhips cracking
How long? How long?

Southern man
better keep your head
Don't forget
what your good book said
Southern change
gonna come at last
Now your crosses
are burning fast
Southern man

Lily Belle,
your hair is golden brown
I've seen your black man
comin' round
Swear by God
I'm gonna cut him down!
I heard screamin'
and bullwhips cracking
How long? How long?


Some people tend not to like Neil Young because of his voice, but he was able to write his music around his voice to make it sound good.  A true gift, he is also an amazing song writer.  It's the lyrics in his songs that captivates the audience.  The instrumental parts may all not be as interesting, but the story is what keeps you listening.  Take his album Greendale, for the most part I am bored with the instrumental part, but I am intrigued by his lyrics.  If you have a chance, listen to some of his music.  Focus on the lyrics.
