Strange Young Girls

I was searching Mamas and Papas videos on youtube (nothing out of the ordinary), and I happened to stumble across this gem.

The words are so beautiful and the harmonies are lovely(just as you'd imagine from a Mamas and Papas song.)

Strange Young Girls Lyrics:

Strange young girls
Covered with sadness;
Eyes of innocence
Hiding their madness.
Walking the strip--
Sweet,soft,and placid---
Offering their youth 
On the altar of acid.

Thinking these gifts
Were sent by the dove;
Off on a trip
Accompanied by love.

Gentle young girls, 
Holding hands walking;
Wisdom flows childlike
While softly talking.
Colors surround them
Bejewling their hair;
Visions astound them, 
Demanding their share.

Children of Orpheus
Called by the dove
Off on a trip 
Accompanied by love.

Thinking these gifts 
Were sent by the dove
Off on a trip

Accompanied by love.

What I'm diggin' right now #1

William-Adolphe Bouguereau

So, the other day I watched a documentary on mermaids. That documentary led to me looking at different mermaid related things, then on to looking at water nymph related things. While looking at water nymphs I ran across a painting that I really liked, titled Nymphs and Satyr. I absolutely loved the look of it, so I looked more into the artist and fell in love with more of his work. Here are some of my favorites.

Nymphs and Satyr

La Nymphee

Femme Au Coquillage

Laurore

Biblis

There are so many other gorgeous Bouguereau paintings, but these are a few of my favorites.
