Marvin Gaye - Distant Lover

---------------Surprise, surprise, Marvin Gaye is responsible for more than just one song that makes girls scream so loud their vocal chords blister and snap. Gaye could very well be responsible for half of the procreation of the seventies with his hits. But why would today, a random August morning, be a day to recognize his music?

I saw an editorial in Elle magazine featuring Justin Beiber on holiday with a slightly older woman, a.k.a. Kim Kardashian. And while Gaye wasn't a small teenager when he made his name in the biz, the shrieks from his audience and Beiber's are one in the same, just different generations.

"Distant Lover" is a quintessential romantic slow-dance. Gaye croons and swoons over the woman that probably doesn't know he exists, and honestly, what better way to connect with the socially insecure thoughts of a teenage girl than nonexistence? The Beibs and Gaye totally get the ladies, no matter how old or young they may be.

More new things coming soon! I'll be getting into more concerts this fall and the drought of concert photography will be quenched soon.
