In recent years, there's been a lot of pop acts singing about being beautiful or someone or something being beautiful. Now, i know this ain't a new thing but it just feels as if these people dont really know what beauty is and by bandying it around so often it starts to loose all meaning and worth. You see, "beauty" and "beautiful" are powerful words.
The above is the intro to a song called Tommy C by Dan le Sac vs Scroobius Pip. If you don't know the song, it goes on to describe what they consider to be the most beautiful thing ever:
On April 5th, 1984, the London Pallaium was the scene of Tommy's show once more. It was a full house and he had the crowd eating out of his hand once more everything, as usual, seemed completely unplanned and in what seemed like a finale Tommy dropped to the floor causing the room to erupt into laughter and rapturous applause. The curtain closed, lights went up and there was no encore, everybody left their seats and headed for the door. Unbeknownst to them they had witnessed Tommy Cooper's death. He had given his all until he had nothing left. Now, please note that at the moment that this entertainer died, even with a room full of people, not one tear was cried. Much less, they rose to their feet as they lauged and clapped. Now tell me one fucking thing that's more beautiful than that. 'Cause im sure i cant think of one.
Tell me, 'scapists, what is the most beautiful thing you've ever seen?
What makes you stop in your tracks and just think "wow"?
