Infinite Playlist: Chapter 4 Cloud 9—Limited Vacancy
Cloud 9—there’s a map to find this utopian place but once you go to list out directions you suddenly suffer from a quick spat of amnesia. You look to the sky and paint what your Cloud 9 will be like when you reach it. Cloud 9 isn’t a place where it is all gravy though. Instead, the bad is greatly outweighed by the good. A goal/dream/desire has been reached and you check into Cloud 9. You sit from your perch and realize you have accomplished the proverbial “IT.” With all things good, Cloud 9 is a temporary state that requires you to keep working rather than get comfortable. Comfort abates laziness, which will make you fall right through Cloud 9 and onto your head serving as a wake up call. Stay on your grind. Stay fokused! B.o.B – Airplanes feat. Hayley from Paramore (The Adventures of Bobby Ray) “I could use a dream or a genie or a wish / To go back to a place much simpler than this / ’Cause after all the partying and smashing and crashing / And all the glitz and glam and the fashion / And all the pandemonium and all the madness / There comes a time when you fade to the blackness / And you staring at that phone in your lap / And you hoping but those people never call you back / But that just how the story unfolds / You get another hand soon after you fold” Dl Patio – Watagatapitusberry feat. Pitbull, Sensato & Lil’ Jon Seriously... 40 | INSIGHT
