These lyrics are from the song, Land of Confusion by the band Genesis. It was recorded in 1986, but it still feels pretty relevant. I want to post the rest of the lyrics below just so you get a better sense of the power behind the lyrics on the billboard.
And getting political really isn't my bag. I don't want to push any kind of agenda onto you. There's no pressure here, but I do want to include some links that'll help you out when it comes to knowing when early voting starts in your area, and how to vote by mail. If you're unhappy with something, you can change it by voting. And if you like how everything is, you can keep it that way also by voting. Vote By Mail - https://www.vote.org/absentee-ballot/ Early Voting Calendar - https://www.vote.org/early-voting-calendar/ Land of Confusion I must've dreamed a thousand dreams Been haunted by a million screams But I can hear the marching feet They're moving into the street Now did you read the news today They say the danger's gone away But I can see the fire's still alight There burning into the night There's too many men Too many people Making too many problems And not much love to go round Can't you see This is a land of confusion This is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given Use them and let's start trying To make it a place worth living in Ooh Superman where are you now When everything's gone wrong somehow The men of steel, the men of power Are losing control by the hour This is the time This is the place So we look for the future But there's not much love to go round Tell me why, this is a land of confusion This is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given Use them and let's start trying To make it a place worth living in I remember long ago Ooh when the sun was shining Yes and the stars were bright All through the night And the sound of your laughter As I held you tight So long ago I won't be coming home tonight My generation will put it right We're not just making promises That we know, we'll never keep Too many men There's too many people Making too many problems And not much love to go round Can't you see this is a land of confusion? Love was changing the minds of pretenders
While chasing the clouds away Our hearts were ringing In the key that our souls were singing! As we danced in the night Remember how the stars stole the night away... Pure poetry! I hope you get to get up and dance to this song today! It may not technically be fall yet, but it's never too early to get into the cozy SZN mood. I asked you guys earlier this week what movies give you all those ~Fall Feels~, so let's dive right in! 1. Stepmom - 1998 Julia Roberts tries to be stepmom to Susan Sarandon's kids. A little bit of a tear jerker, but you can’t miss out on the fall foliage. It’s breathtaking. 2. Remember the Titans - 2000 Based on the true story of the integration of T.C. Williams High School and their football team. Who doesn’t love a good underdog story? 3. St. Elmo's Fire - 1985 People really sleep on this movie! A coming-of-age story about 7 friends trying to figure out the real world after graduating from Georgetown University. It will make you want to wear baggy sweaters, and be in the Brat Pack. When Harry Met Sally... - 1989 THE ultimate Rom-Com. Set in New York, Harry and Sally find out if men and women can really just be friends. SPOILER ALERT! No, just kidding, I won’t spoil it for you. 5. Mystic Pizza - 1988 A sweet story set in Mystic, Connecticut about 2 sisters, their best friend, and a pizza place. Rotten Tomatoes describes it as this, “Mystic Pizza is like its namesake food: it's cheesy, topped with romance, and rises to the occasion.” (Also, if anyone can tell me how to download that song that's playing during the pool scene, that'd be great.) Honorable MentionedLegally Blonde - 2001 Yes, the beginning of the movie has Reese Witherspoon floating in a pool wearing a bikini, but the rest of the movie takes place in autumn at Harvard, and it’s gorgeous. Dead Poet's Society - 1989 Almost TOO sad to even suggest, but how can you resist autumn in Vermont? Even the movie poster has beautiful fall foliage. Did your favorite cozy time movie make the list? Let me know in the comments.
