“Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.”
― William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night's Dream

“The course of true love never did run smooth.”
― William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night's Dream

This was played at The Landing for their annual Midsummer's Daydream event. It is an ecstatic dance, and contains explicit lyrics in the Outkast track. It's spiced with sensual tracks and will fit an outdoor dance at the peak of summer well. Photo Credit to David Block.
