Fashion Music

Okay… what really bugged you about that music?

It’s too depressing. Maybe 5 years ago I would’ve vibed with it. But this year, I’m SO happy and optimistic about us! I wanna stay all warm and fluffy and excited about you and me inside. I don’t want any of the vibrations of that song. It just makes me feel like I’m gonna regress backwards if I allow myself to wallow in that song...

Yeah… I don’t feel that way about that song but I can see how it might affect you that way…

I was just trying to ignore it the whole time…

Yeah, and just focus on the beat?

Yes. I would’ve rathered they just use the beat and removed the singing part of the song. Just leave the instrumentals. I think that would’ve been a better show. I didn’t know how to say it to their faces, “are you sure you want these lyrics for your fashion show?!”

Oh… it’s GOOD that you DID NOT…

You think so?

Babe… westerners are honest but not that honest. Either!

Not in a work situation like that.

There are the same corporate hierarchies. The same levels of respect is established. It’s not a cultural difference at all. It’s much much better that you didn’t say anything at all!

Plus — NOBODY ELSE FEELS THAT WAY ABOUT THAT SONG…

They don’t?

No… it was definitely just a you problem… because you’re still in the pursuit of me… we’re still on our journey… we’re almost at where we want to be but we’re not fully there yet… so you’re still slightly uneasy…

It’s just you that found the song triggering… most people aren’t even thinking about those lyrics that deep or at all. It’s just a beat.

Hmmm…

You don’t like seeing edits of Fernando walking to that song, do you?

No… I much prefer the edits where they’re using MY songs…

Yeah…
