Deep in my heart how the presence of you shines, in a light to last a whole life through.

No one knows how powerful technology is.

My mission is to communicate, to wake people up, to give them my energy and accept theirs. We're all in it together, and I respond emotionally as a worker, a mother, an artist, and a human being with a voice. We all have a voice. We have the responsibility to exercise it, to use it.

We lay in each other's arms, still awkward but happy, exchanging breathless kisses into sleep.

Rock n' roll is dream soup, what's your brand?
