Some lyrics I find interesting:
I'ma wade, I'ma wave through the waters
Tell the tide, "Don't move"
I'ma wade, I'ma wave through your shallow love
Tell the deep I'm new
But mama don't cry for me, ride for me
Try for me, live for me
Breathe for me, sing for me
Honestly guidin' me
I could be more than I gotta be
Stole from me, lied to me, nation hypocrisy
I missed the American Ballet Theatre performance of Woolf-Works
Lucky for me, there are youtube videos of some of the performances.

TRIGGER WARNING, Talks of suicide
Tuesday
Grand and elegiac, The Waves (1931) is Woolf’s most experimental novel, conceived in response to her own childlessness and the contrasting fierce maternity of her sister Vanessa. In the novel, the voices of six people growing from childhood to old age are punctuated by symbols of natural decay and renewal, the most important of which is the ever-returning sea. Responding to Woolf’s unique fascination with underwater imagery in all her writing, “Tuesday” merges themes of The Waves with a portrayal of the writer’s suicide by drowning. As Woolf counts her steps towards the river Ouse and her final journey, so too the world of her novel moves towards abstraction and silence.
Tell the deep I'm new, painting things blue.
To me, Beyoncé is fighting on. The blue is external**. It is nothing similar to the trigger warning above.
I am not a scholar. I am just trying to keep up with history as it unfolds in front of me.
All the talk of the blue wave, Beyoncé painting white walls blue, brings up a memory I have about seeing Renoir's Two Sisters (On the Terrace) in Chicago.

The colors have to be seen in person. The painting stuck with me, so I did some research, for a few hours.
Red is the color of here and now.
Blue is the color of the eternal**. The woman is wearing a blue dress, a woman's body is external because it brings forth life.
The white, I am not sure. It might be about what color it might be painted in the future?
