🌾 Tightened Love
Meanwhile in the outskirts of Beltimore... 😘
Down in the valley where the wildflowers grow,
Lives a young man with a secret show,
He's got a tight belt that makes folks stare,
And a wasp waist that just ain't fair.
He walks down the road with a swagger and strut,
With his Levi jeans tucked in his boots,
Got a heart full of gold and eyes full of fire,
A true country boy from head to tire.
Now the ladies all gather 'round,
To get a glimpse of that magical sound,
They fall for his charm and his honeyed voice,
But most of all, they love his fashion choice.
He don't care what folks say,
About how he wears his belt today,
For him, it's about feeling free,
"Showing off the body God gave to me."
Now the preacher man says, "It ain't right,"
His sermon filled with fear and fright,
"Young man, you gotta change your ways,"
But the lad just smiles and laughs away.
That young man with the wasp waist,
Ain't nobody gonna take his place,
He wears his belts tight without a trace
Of worry or concern on his face.
What do you think? 😄
Is that wire? It's hard.
I must admit, your idea really strikes a chord with me! I was thinking delicate twigs, but wire would add an element of artistic intrigue that really complements the atmosphere of the scene!
Your talent is beyond dispute, but I just wish there were more natural depictions of the human body in your work. Rather than placing so much emphasis on contortion and extreme constriction of the torso, could you possibly allow your subjects to "just be" without such manipulation and contrivance. In the past it seems you made more allowance for this, but recently such renderings have been very few and far between. That said, this fellow has a captivating visage and lovely hair; I'm also very fond of the simple attire. Without the "wasp waste," it would have been truly immaculate. Incidentally, you are an excellent writer and poet, which gives so much more dimension and context to the visual representations.
Ever since you mentioned the term "just be", this phrase has been weighing heavily on my mind. It seems like people are learning the meaning of "homophobic", "transphobic", "sexist", "racist", "misogynic", one word at a time, without even understanding the underlying principle that connects all of these terms.
Over the last few years, you've strived to be a good citizen and have received a lot of training from the government on how to avoid making common mistakes, yet one key principle seems to have eluded you. Your objective of wanting people to "just be" is admirable, but if you really mean for them to "just be themselves", you should allow them to live their lives without imposing your own desires or expectations, otherwise it turns into "just be yourself - as long as it's how I want".
Now, we have this fictional world I've crafted over the years, which appears to have developed a unique, yet fascinating cultural tradition revolving around tight belts, well-crafted cinchers, and a fascination with contortionism. This is a world where people take pride in wearing their belts so tightly fastened; it's seen as a style, a sign of strength or even a kind of traditional practice that reflects a lot about the society's customs and lore. And then here comes you, standing tall amidst the place like it belongs to you and asking, "Why can't you folks just be! What the hell is wrong with all these tight belts and contortionist tricks!"
Nowadays, it takes a while for people to understand and capture the very principle that your norms aren't universal standards for everyone, no one needs to follow the rules you set, you might want to follow them, but nobody else is obligated to dance to your favorite tune.
So if you still don't see how your comment is related to sexism, racism, homophobia, and transphobia - yes, it doesn't deal with sex, race or gender, but it does have a commonality with the exact same form of offense. Everyone has a right to live their life the way they choose to do so - that's the underlying principle that all the above mentioned principles share in common.

Outstanding!
This part has very high quality not only in text (as whole lyrics is great) but in musical part too! It is real country and realistic photo goes so well with it.

Iam very tired so I hope Iam making sense, wanted to say this right away as Iam genuinely happy with this song!
ps: instead of "eyes full of fire" I hear "ass full of fire" Iam hopeless X-D

Thanks for your kind words, Shifty! No need to apologize, we all have our slip-ups every now and then - it's just part of being human. And besides, every little hiccup can teach us something valuable. So, let's embrace those hiccups and learn from them! Haha.
About the lyrics, the song is about an attractive and confident young man with a unique fashion style, who seems quite content with himself despite being judged by others (eye twitch at the previous comment). He is young, stylish, with a confident and charismatic demeanor. His outfit is also reminiscent of classic country wear, which complements the theme of the song. The use of rhyming couplets and repetitive phrases helps convey the message clearly. I always try to combine good lyrics with an appealing picture to help set the mood for the songs.
The tight belt is something that many people associate with country boys, especially those who work on ranches or farms, so I thought it would be a fitting detail for this character. The wasp waist is another important aspect of his appearance, as it highlights his slender physique.
As for your confusion over "eyes full of fire", don't worry too much about it. Sometimes it can be easy to get a little muddled up while looking at a hot fella like him XD Maybe try to avoid listening to "Get Lucky" by Daft Punk while feeling sleepy - you may hear something funny at the beginning! XD
Anyhow, I'm so glad you enjoyed the song and found the picture fitting! Thank you once again for sharing your thoughts and ideas with me! :D

mmmmmmmh ribs....
Oh, those ribs... so delicate they can make a mouth water just looking at them! The deep, tight waistline seems to pull you in closer... and then, the flawlessly sculpted belly, morphing into a mesmerizing curve of surreal beauty - another element of intrigue and allure to this heavenly panorama... Maybe it's good you don't catch a glimpse of his legs, or they would swiftly wrap around you in a passionate embrace, pulling you away to the golden fields of wheat where time seems to stand still...
He's gorgeous, even the wasped version. The unwasped version, however, I just want to worship that belly. He's absolutely delicious. The song is awesome as well! I really like that Folk/Country sound and it works perfectly with the picture.
