The only positive thing about that is that you can still listen to folk and hazy pop like the one that Being Dead, a Texas-based trio, has graced us with on their latest and first full-length album, <em>When Horses Would Run<\/em>. A trip through a hazy desert filled with televisions and wild horses.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Livin&#039; Easy\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/68c-Y-snQBU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<!--more CLICK FOR MORE-->\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>I have lived ten thousand lives<br>I&#8217;ve watched all my children die<br>When death comes to rest my eyes<br>From the shrine, I take my rise<br>[&#8230;]<br>Livin&#8217; is easy<br>Livin&#8217; is easy<br>Livin&#8217; is easy<br>Livin&#8217; is easy<br>Livin&#8217; is easy<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">The delivery of these first few lines and the little synth sequence that comes directly after are a perfect way to start this song that constantly dances on the line between soft and not so soft ( as well as dark and not so dark). Changes in tones are always interesting when it comes to lyrics; I don&#8217;t like things to stay too serious for too long. That&#8217;s why I included in the little box above the lyrics of the second half of the song, which is just a very long repetition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">&#8220;Livin&#8217; is easy&#8221;, it&#8217;s almost believable if you listen to the last part of the song. Rewind a bit, and this repetition will feel like it&#8217;s mocking you. I like songs that are in motion, and this one definitely is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For my little prompt, I&#8217;d like to ask you to write something inspired by the name of the album, <em>When Horses Would Run<\/em>. Horses are very inspiring animals, so I believe you won&#8217;t have any difficulty answering this&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Answer Below<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s the first week of September, and it&#8217;s still unbelievably warm in the world.
