Amelia Lalala Human Steps



Found on [info]l3antha.

I keep playing it over and over again... That first running and catching scene... the sound she makes when he catches her.



I'm waiting for my man
Got 26 dollars in my hand
Up to Lexington 125
feelin' sick and dirty
Huh, I'm waiting for my man

Hey white boy, what you doin' uptown
Hey white boy, you chasin' my women around
Pardon me sir, it's furthest from my mind
I'm just waitin' for a dear-dear friend of mine
I'm waiting for my man, come on

Here he comes, he's all dressed in black
PR shoes and a big straw hat
He's never early, he's always late
first thing you learn is that you always gotta wait
I'm waiting for my man

Up to a brownstone, up three flights of stairs
Everybody's pinned you and nobody cares
He's got the works, gives you sweet taste
then you gotta split because you got no time to waste
I'm waiting for my man

Hey baby, don't you holler, don't you ball and shout
I'm feeling good, I'm gonna work it on out
I'm feeling good, feeling so fine
until tomorrow, but that's just some other time
I'm waiting for my man
I'm waiting for my man
I'm waiting for my man
man-man-man-man-man-man-man



wow, and that's the original version. Such a complete change in what I 'see' in my head.

The whole production is just very well put together... *watches it again*

I really need to dig out my violin again.

Thank you very much for pointing this out! I liked this so much I ripped the audiotrack from it, because I would like to listen to it sometimes when I can't spare my eyes for the pretty, pretty dancing.

as a dance major i appreciate this entirely. i dream of the day that i am able to dance like that, and find a partner that dependable.
the image is nearly primitive, that's what i love most about dance. the ability to express the innermost emotions of humans, and making them beautiful.

cheers on the post
