I want to fly

Can you take me far away

Give me a star to reach for

Tell me what it takes

And I'll go so high

I'll go so high

My feet won't touch the ground

Stitch my wings

And pull the strings

I bought these dreams

That all fall down

                                                             -Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, Wings

Wings is one of my favorite songs by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis from The Heist, and I heard them perform it live in April of 2013.  I took the photo above from the pit during his concert at The Pageant in St. Louis.  You can read an interesting explanation of the lyrics of Wings here.

Spotlight on Swans

Left:  Bjork wearing the infamous "swan" dress to the 73rd Academy Awards in 2001; Right:  Florence Welch wearing a Givenchy S/S '11 dress adorned with swan wing appliques on the bodice and bold tangerine feathers on the back to the 2011 Grammy Awards.  Love or loathe?

"We have to continually be jumping off cliffs and developing our wings on the way down."
