What are you listening to?

Have been woke up to this song ... it some how happen to be my first reading this morning so decided to share with You, here at this beautiful place where I feel understood ... :flowers:

VICTORY DANCE
Should I close my eyes and prophesize
Hoping maybe some day come
Should I wet the ground with my own tears
Crying over what's been done
Should I lift the dirt and plant the seed
Even though I'll never grow
Should I wet the ground with the sweat from my brow
And believe in my good work
My good work
My good work
My good work
Hey there, I'm flying up above
Looking down on the tired earth
And I can see, I can see potential
Speaking through you, speaking to you
From all of heaven's possibilities
Power, hey do you know how it works
Hey do you know that the meek,
They shall inherit the earth
You should work, you should work
For the self and family
Should I hit the water or stay on dry land
Even though I've never swam
Take machete into the brush
Though at first there is no path
Taste the war paint on my tongue
As it's dripping with my sweat
Place my gaze in the future's path
Seeing things that ain't come yet
Hope to watch the victory dance
After whole day's work is done
Hope to watch the victory dance
In the evening's setting sun
Hope to watch the victory dance
Over many lives to come
Hope to watch the victory dance
In the evening's setting sun
Setting sun
Setting sun
Setting sun
Hope to dance the victory dance
After whole day's work is done
Hope to dance the victory dance
In the evening's setting sun
Hope to dance the victory dance
Over many lives to come
Hope to dance the victory dance
In the evening's setting sun

Shijing, I liked the words and the music kind of grows on me. Very fast and driving but kind of works with the words which describe the struggle I think.

Thanks

The Winery Dogs - We Are One said:
Deep in this fight to survive
Always hurting
Alone in the dark with no light
Always searching
Keep us lost in our devices
Blinded, broken and deceived
Time has come to be the righteous
Stand up and fight the power
There's no way they can stop us now
We're the stars tonight and we are one
There's nobody that can bring us down
We're united and they don't want us to be
Come to this day
Where our lives can't be broken
Now here we are
With our future wide open
Time has come for us to rise
From the depths of their disease
There's no hope if we divide
Stand up and fight the power
There's no way they can stop us now
We're the stars tonight and we are one
There's nobody that can bring us down
We're united and they don't want us to be
We are one and won't be shaken
It's our prophecy
And the light is on for the taking
Stand up and fight the power
There's no way they can stop us now
We're the stars tonight and we are one
There's nobody that can bring us down
We're united and they don't want us to be
They wanna keep you on the ground
With a foot on your neck
Make you feel like you're defeated

Twenty years ago: Living in the Wasteland of the Free

“I realized that “Wasteland of the Free” could get me killed – and I ain’t ready to go yet. People aren’t used to hearing things like that [the ‘We kill for oil’ line] in public…I had to ask myself if I was up for hate mail…But you know, I think the odd thing is that a lot of people have thought those words. So I guess the main reason I had to put it on there [on the album] is because that’s around-the-kitchen-table talk, and if I have the courage to say it around the kitchen table, and I don’t have the courage to say it out in public, then I’m not as much of a person as I like to think of myself as being.”

Then the rainstorm came over me
And I felt my spirit break
I had lost all of my belief, you see
And realized my mistake
But time threw a prayer to me
And all around me became still

I need love, love's divine
Please forgive me, now I see that I've been blind
Give me love, love is what I need to help me know my name

Through the rainstorm came sanctuary
And I felt my spirit fly
I had found all of my reality
I realize what it takes

'Cause I need love, love's divine
Please forgive me, now I see that I've been blind
Give me love, love is what I need to help me know my name

Oh I, don't bend (don't bend), don't break (don't break)
Show me how to live and promise me you won't forsake
'Cause love can help me know my name

Well, I try to say there's nothing wrong
But inside I felt me lying all along
But the message here was plain to see
Believe me

'Cause I need love, love's divine
Please forgive me, now I see that I've been blind
Give me love, love is what I need to help me know my name

Oh I, don't bend (don't bend), don't break (don't break)
Show me how to live and promise me you won't forsake
'Cause love can help me know my name

Love can help me know my name

:hug2:
 
... to let my self goooooo ...


https://youtu.be/a0GLPMq8k5o

To let myself go
To let myself flow
Is the only way of being
There's no use telling me
There's no use taking a step back
A step back for me

.. and dearest Cass family ... thank you for existing with me in this time and space! :cool2:

Yesterday I was watching this series, which I really liked so far and recommend if anyone is interested :) And the soundtrack is pretty lovely:

I agree, the opening song is beautiful, and so were the first few episodes I watched. But then it kept getting really graphic in regards to sex and violence scenes (of all types), that I stopped watching. It is based on a series of books by Diana Gabaldon that were very popular when I used to work at a bookstore, and I was always curious about the story, but about half-way or towards the end of the 1st season, it gets from bad to worse, I had to shut it down and walk out the room. It is unfortunate that they can't present a good story on tv without excessive physical and sexual violence anymore.

I agree with you Alana, I was telling my sister in law, that it's quite annoying to see so much sex scenes and violence, the idea is good, but i tend to fastforward when that happens hehe. Im still in the first season, not gotten into the worst parts.. Thanks for mentioning it :) And I agree, this crazy sex things in series specially on netflix, happened to me also with Sense8, such a great idea but the sex scenes are just waay over the board :( We can get something good out of it, the lovely music hehe.

I've watched seasons 1 and 2, and towards the end of season 1, it only gets worse as far as violence is concerned. A brutal rape is shown in a most graphic way. One could argue that it serves a purpose (to show the psychopathy of one of the characters) and therefore "it's not gratuitous". It's certainly off-putting, unless one is severely mentally disturbed. I would definitely turn my head and not view that kind of scene. The depiction of the British psychopath is quite good though, and I like the storyline, the beautiful Scottish landscape, and the fantastic music. In Season 2, there's less violence/sex, but it's still OTT.
