“Lemonade… That cool, refreshing drink.”
– Eddie Murphy, Delirious
Since laid out by a fever after work the other day, finally got around to watching Beyoncé’s Lemonade ?. It is a beautifully visualized and a surprisingly relatable film, I must admit. I now have several new favorite quotes thanks to this visual album.
It’s amazing how much destruction occurs when only one out of a mutual promise tries to fulfill said promise. How sad that, “Every promise don’t work out that way.”
In my personal experience, when that tree falls in that forest, it does not make a sound. It only screams in thick silence, for those who should hear do not choose to listen.
“All the loving I’ve been giving goes unnoticed; it’s just floating in the air. Looky there. Are you aware?”
Yeah, I now that one too well. #db
The more personal Beyoncé dove, the more I could relate:
“You are terrifying. And strange. And beautiful.” #tf
“Every promise don’t work out that way.” (Love that song, by the way. ?)
“If we’re gonna heal, let it be Glorious.” #db
“Why do you consider yourself undeserving? Why are you afraid of love? You think it’s not possible for someone like you. But you are the Love of My Life.” #tf
And this one, which only led me down the path of my former married life’s memories:
“God was in the room when the man said to the woman, ‘I love you so much, wrap your legs around me and pull me in, pull me in.'”
Bittersweet nostalgia is all that is left. Remnants of the Glory that once was. Karma is She who listens now. #db
And of course, the instant classic:
“Ashes to ashes. Dust to sidechicks.”
