Lissie - Just Because I Can

This was the first song of Lissie's that I heard. Lana Del Rey posted this picture of her without any explanation. She released this on June 21, 2020 which is Lana's birthday.

From the video description:

June 21st, 2020 marked the 10 year anniversary of my debut album "Catching a Tiger", and to celebrate this special album that gave me a career, I will be releasing songs recorded for "Catching A Tiger" that didn't end up on the album, the first being "Just Because I Can". It will be followed by more songs, content and an eventual re-issue! It's been amazing and so much fun to look through my journals, songwriting books and pictures from that time as well.

"Just Because I Can” was written while I was in the same headspace as “Everywhere I Go” and “Look Away”. Feeling introspective, searching, striving for my purpose, place, peace and identity. There’s an element of spirituality as well, looking to a source higher than myself to carry on and have faith in the unfolding. The song also reflected the hugeness of my emotions & the fear that I had of my own potential, that to this day, I still grapple with. Additionally, I think that this song feels very topical for this moment in history as we are called to not only do what we can with our present circumstances but also choose to speak up and out for what we deem to be right! At its inception as well as present day, there’s a sense of longing for change, personal & collective growth. I hope that you enjoy & take this music to heart!

... and his posterity too? See  On Communication in Linear Time And Hypertext And The Gospel of Sophia . So it looks like El Cielo of the cistine [sic!😂] chapel is not the limit anymore.  I think I just met one of his descendents. A guy called Versailles Toledo who is from Chiapas. That might explain the murals I mention in my recent untitled post , just before the post mentioning this video. I also just took this photo of Rafael Gonzales, born here in Tecate, B.C., who told me about a spring near here called Agua Fría , half way from Tecate to Loma Tova , where, a few decades ago, people used to go to have barbecues and stuff, but now he thinks it may be private land. If someone reading this has a Facebook account, please write a link to this post onto his FB page. To see why I took the photo, look at his T-shirt and the horse-shoes and ponder this: Subscribe to BeatrizER and her video(s?) about mathematical logic, ...

This was in The Guardian: David Turner obituary , only eight days after I posted  David Turner Talking About Sixty Years of Functional Programming History : This talk was given in London in 2017: See  Turner, D. A. "Some History of Functional Programming Languages" also  John Hughes - Why Functional Programming Matters  and David MacQueen's talk at ICFP 2015 in  Numberphile - Sophie Maclean on the Catalan Numbers . At 10:30 This whole discussion abut combinator reduction is especially interesting. I didn't know Arthur Norman had tried building hardware for combinator machines. I'll look that up: maybe start here A.C. Norman  Faster combinator reduction using stock hardware  in LFP '88: Proceedings of the 1988 ACM conference on LISP and functional programming.
