Providence & Innocence

The mind is a fragile labryinth; the garden of eden.

Every thought is a creation, a deliveration to a new nation, and the ability to reclaim what's been lost.

Providence and innocence is a heavy price to pay, the soul dragging on day by day, and a million weeping resolutions have been sought.

My body's a fragile fawn, my eyes perceiving naught but dawn, and the day settles long before I wake.

To life I've given more than I should've gave. Dr. Pepper and long summer nights are great, but they're not enough to pave my way to ecstasy.

I hear them calling me, the angels, a chorus as I rise to become my name, the only thing I know, my right-hand ticket to fame, and what do I gain?

Nothing.

Cause life is a game.

Life is a game.

Life is a game.

Life is a game.

And a lamb only wants for the things she cannot take.

A wolf in the shadows leaves her life at stake.

I wanted what I got, but I can't handle what I gave away.

Everything is slowly coming to an end. I wish I could just be a silly teenage girl forever. I wish I could just stay in school and continue to do the same things everyday. I wish I didn’t have to fear growing up. I wish everything wasn’t changing.

Why do these eyes of mine cry?

Don't they know it's the end of the world?

Now entering 1963, we're the sound of the decade start to solidify. Many future heavy-hitters of the decade made their debuts in the Billboard Year-End 100 this year. This is still before the popularity of Motown Records in the mainstream (although, the label was founded in 1958), but we're already seeing acts reminiscent of their 60's sound. I should also mention that this top ten isn't the list that was published in the December 1963 edition of Billboard Magazine. Rather, I'm using a later list that was compiled using additional data. That feels too vague for my liking and I'm currently working on finding the details (I'll update this post if I find anything). But this seems to be the generally-agreed upon list, so that's the one I'm going with. My apologies for robbing Surfin' U.S.A. of its number 1 spot. This also won't be the last time we deal with these "updated lists."
