Everybodys free (to wear sunscreen) - Baz Luhrman

Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of ’99 If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience…I will dispense this advice now. Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth; oh nevermind; you will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded. But trust me, in 20 years you’ll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can’t grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked….You’re not as fat as you imagine. Don’t worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday. Do one thing everyday that scares you Sing Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts, don’t put up with people who are reckless with yours. Floss Don’t waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes you’re behind…the race is long, and in the end, it’s only with yourself. Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults; if you succeed in doing this, tell me how. Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements. Stretch Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with your life…the most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don’t. Get plenty of calcium. Be kind to your knees, you’ll miss them when they’re gone. Maybe you’ll marry, maybe you won’t, maybe you’ll have children,maybe you won’t, maybe you’ll divorce at 40, maybe you’ll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary…what ever you do, don’t congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either – your choices are half chance, so are everybody else’s. Enjoy your body, use it every way you can…don’t be afraid of it, or what other people think of it, it’s the greatest instrument you’ll ever own.. Dance…even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room. Read the directions, even if you don’t follow them. Do NOT read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly. Get to know your parents, you never know when they’ll be gone for good. Be nice to your siblings; they are the best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future. Understand that friends come and go,but for the precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle because the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were young. Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard; live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft. Travel. Accept certain inalienable truths, prices will rise, politicians will philander, you too will get old, and when you do you’ll fantasize that when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders. Respect your elders. Don’t expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you have a wealthy spouse; but you never know when either one might run out. Don’t mess too much with your hair, or by the time you're 40, it will look 85. Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it’s worth. But trust me on the sunscreen…

TOTALLY ADDICTED TO BASS


Your base line has got me feeling fine
It’s filling up my mind

I’ve got two pale hands up against the window pane
I’m shaking with the heat of my need again
Starts in my feet, reverbs up to my brain
There’s nothing I can do to revert the gain
I’m looking down to the street below
There’s nothing in the way they move to show
They too know what I know,
They too hunger for the beast below

Listening to the radio I feel so out of place
There’s a certain something missing that the treble can’t erase
I know you can tell just by looking at my face
A word about my weakness
I’m totally addicted to base
a-waowa-ow...
...a-waowa-ow

There’s nothing I can do to be cool
I don’t sleep till I’ve had my fuel
It frustrates if I’m deprived
A hunger that grates from deep inside
Feel like I’m doing time
Imprisoned by dependence on a rhythm sublime
In my mind I must overcome the need to define
Solitary silence of a faceless crime

Standing by the stereo I’m feeling so alone
With my back against the speaker and I’m moving on my own
Surrounded by so many and they’re staring at my face
They’re picking up my problem
I’m totally addicted to base
a-waowa-ow...
...a-waowa-ow

Your base line is shooting up my spine
a-waowa-ow
Your base line has got me feeling fine
It’s filling up my mind

Summer’s at my window, I look down on the street
People I see everywhere are tapping their feet
Suddenly I realise in that look that I was wrong
Everybody’s grooving to their own song

Down at the scene below
There’s something in the way they move to show
They too know what I know
They too hunger for the beast below

Rhythm’s running over me to wash away my fears
The back beat of humanity it sweetens my tears
There's something that's connected us down throughout the years
There’s no need to feel so lonely
Everyone’s addicted to base
