What are you listening to?

"The Wizard"

Misty morning, clouds in the sky
Without warning, the wizard walks by
Casting his shadow, weaving his spell
Funny clothes, tinkling bell

Never talking
Just keeps walking
spreading his magic

Evil power disappears
Demons worry when the wizard is near
He turns tears into joy
Everyone's happy when the wizard walks by

Never talking
Just keeps walking
spreading his magic

Sun is shining, clouds have gone by
All the people give a happy sigh
He has passed by, giving his sign
Left all the people feeling so fine

Never talking
Just keeps walking
spreading his magic
 
Spring is here again (yay!) in in honor of this I'm listening to Beethoven's 'Spring' sonata. (By the way the best performance of this is Augustin Dumay/Maria Joao Pires 'Beethoven Complete Violin Sonatas')
 
ahmm :) - just stumbled upon these lyrics by accident, it will be interesting to hear the song


Conscious Love by Gerry Rafferty
Money won't fix it, power won't fix it
Sex won't fix it, drugs won't fix it
Fame won't fix it, lies won't fix it
Your life won't fix it, nobody can fix it

This sleeping sickness is a very strange disease
You can't wake up until you're brought down to your knees

Time won't heal you, medicine won't heal you
Potions won't heal you, your doctor can't heal you
Your husband can't heal you, your wife can't heal you
Your friends can't heal you, nobody can heal you

You realise that you've been living in a dream
You see reality and wake up with a scream (Aaaaah!)

Science won't save you, religion won't save you
Art won't save you, I can't save you

Got your desires and you do just what you please
This sleeping sickness is a very strange disease
You can't wake up until you're brought down to your knees

Love can heal you, knowledge can heal you
Understanding can heal you, faith can heal you
Service can heal you, humility can heal you
Love can heal you, conscious love can heal you

Conscious love
Conscious love
Conscious love
Conscious love

Abraham and Moses
And the sweet Lord Jesus,
Blessed Mohammed,
Buddha, Krishna,
Gurdjieff, Ouspensky,
Socrates and Plato,
Rembrandt, Rilke,
Leonardo da Vinci,
Rumi, Hafiz,
And Ibn' Arabi,
Marcus Aurelius,
and Johann Sebastian Bach

Conscious love
Conscious love
Conscious love
Conscious love
 
Lucky Town
Bruce Springsteen

House got too crowded clothes got too tight
And I don't know just where I'm going tonight
Out where the sky's been cleared by a good hard rain
There's somebody callin' my secret name

I'm going down to Lucky Town
Going down to Lucky Town
I wanna lose these blues I've found
Down in Lucky Town
Down in Lucky Town

Had a coat of fine leather and snakeskin boots
But that coat always had a thread hangin' loose
Well I pulled it one night and to my surprise
It led me right past your house and on over the rise

I'm going down to Lucky Town
Down to Lucky Town
I'm gonna lose these blues I've found
Down in Lucky Town
Down in Lucky Town

I had some victory that was just failure in deceit
Now the joke's comin' up through the soles of my feet
I been a long time walking on fortune's cane
Tonight I'm steppin' lightly and feelin' no pain

Well here's to your good looks baby now here's to my health
Here's to the loaded places that we take ourselves
When it comes to luck we make our own
Tonight I got dirt on my hands but I'm building me a new home

Down in Lucky Town
Down in Lucky Town
I'm gonna lose these blues I've found
 
I've heard this song as far as I can remember, but just now it strikes me as different.

A warning of losing focus to those aspirants of the 4th Way who are starting out.

Music by elton john
Lyrics by bernie taupin
Available on the album honky château

She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Zero hour nine a.m.
And I’m gonna be high as a kite by then
I miss the earth so much I miss my wife
It’s lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight

And I think it’s gonna be a long long time
Till touch down brings me round again to find
I’m not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I’m a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone


Mars ain’t the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact it’s cold as hell
And there’s no one there to raise them if you did
And all this science I don’t understand
It’s just my job five days a week
A rocket man, a rocket man


And I think it’s gonna be a long long time...
 
Artist: Sniff 'N' the Tears
Song: Driver's Seat

Doing alright
A little jiving on a Saturday night
And come what may
Gonna dance the day away

Jenny was sweet
Show a smile for the people she needs
I'm trouble, let's drive,
I don't know the way you came alive

News is blue (the news is blue)
Has its own way to get to you
What can I do (what can I do)
When I remember my time with you

Pick up your feet
Got to move to the trick of the beat
There is no lead
Just take your place in the driver's seat

Driver's seat, oohoo, driver's seat, yeah

Doing alright
A little jiving on a Saturday night
And come what may
Gonna dance the day away

Driver's seat, oohoo, driver's seat, yeah

Jenny was sweet
There is no lead
Pick up your feet, pick up, pick up
Pick up your feet, gonna dance the day away

Driver's seat, oohoo, driver's seat, yeah
Driver's seat, oohoo, driver's seat, yeah
Driver's seat...
 
Manic Street Preachers

Album: Generation Terrorists, 1991

Song: Spectators of Suicide

Obedience to the law is free desire
Under curfew from neon barbed wire
Wasting away this country, wearing like a born dead
Free heroin shots for those who never beg

Spectators of suicide
Exploding in society's eye
Democracy is an empty lie
Dead like our yesterdays tonight

The only free choice is refusal to pay
Life reduced to suicidal pain
Cigarettes a life-line, it's safety in death
Choking on the billboards, advertised and fed

Spectators of suicide
Exploding in society's eye
Democracy is an empty lie
Dead like our yesterdays tonight

You're gonna shoot us dead with decadence
You're gonna shoot us dead with decadence

I have posted this entry before, and now, in this recent time of weirdness it bears a repost.

This creation has helped me out of very dark times in the past, when there seemed to be nothing more to this existence then the shrinking back into oneself that was happening.

A situation where you'd even forget that a spark existed. This creation helped me find it again in those dark moments. Every time.

I just now found some entries on youtube, and the visuals explain what I was hearing in the music and feeling in the singing.

Beautifully symbolic, dressed in white, creative (feminine) energy taking it's place and walking past the elements and actors of the stifling force. [Post edit: Notice the "angel" shown climbing down the ladder during the show, and at the very end offering to the expressor the phonograph to play the music of the Heavens! ]

Alegria


Come un lampo di vita
Alegria
Come un pazzo gridare
Alegria
Del delittuoso grido
Bella ruggente pena,
Seren
Come la rabbia di amar
Alegria
Come un assalto di gioia

Alegria
I see a spark of life shining
Alegria
I hear a young minstrel sing
Alegria
Beautiful roaring scream
Of joy and sorrow,
So extreme
There is a love in me raging
Alegria
A joyous,
Magical feeling

Alegria
Come un lampo di vita
Alegria
Come un pazzo gridare

Del delittuoso grido
Bella ruggente pena,

Del delittuoso grido
Bella ruggente pena,
Seren
Come la rabbia di amar
Alegria
Come un assalto di gioia

Alegria
Como la luz de la vida

Como un payaso que grita
Alegria
Del estupendo grito
De la tristeza loca
Serena
Como la rabia de amar
Alegria
Como un asalto de felicidad

Del estupendo grito
De la tristeza loca

Siouxsie & the Banshees - Dazzle - Hyena (1984)

swallowing diamonds
a cutting throat
your teeth when you grin
reflecting beams on tombstones

a jamboree of surprises
playing russian roulette
or the lucky clip
a clenched fist to your heart
coal dust on your lungs

a silver tongue for the chosen one
heavy magnum in your side or a bloody thorn

skating bullets on angel dust
in a dead sea of fluid mercury
baby piano cries
under your heavy index and thumb
pull some strings -- let them sing

the stars that shine and the stars that shrink
in the face of stagnation the water runs
before your eyes
dazzle
it's a glittering prize
 
One Tin Soldier (The Legend of Billy Jack)
by Lambert-Potter, sung by Coven

Listen, children, to a story
That was written long ago,
'Bout a kingdom on a mountain
And the valley-folk below.

On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath the stone,
And the valley-people swore
They'd have it for their very own.

Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
Go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the name of Heaven,
You can justify it in the end.
There won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day,
On the bloody morning after....
One tin soldier rides away.

So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill,
Asking for the buried treasure,
Tons of gold for which they'd kill.

Came an answer from the kingdom,
"With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of our mountain,
All the riches buried there."

Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
Go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the name of Heaven,
You can justify it in the end.
There won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day,
On the bloody morning after....
One tin soldier rides away.

Now the valley cried with anger,
"Mount your horses! Draw your sword!"
And they killed the mountain-people,
So they won their just reward.

Now they stood beside the treasure,
On the mountain, dark and red.
Turned the stone and looked beneath it...
"Peace on Earth" was all it said.

Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
Go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the name of Heaven,
You can justify it in the end.
There won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day,
On the bloody morning after....
One tin soldier rides away.

Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
Go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the name of Heaven,
You can justify it in the end.
There won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day,
On the bloody morning after....
One tin soldier rides away.
 
Buffalo Springfield

Stop, hey what's that sound.

there's something happening here
what it is ain't exactly clear
there's a man with a gun over there
telling me i got to beware

i think it's time we stop, children
what's that sound
everybody look what's goin down

there's battle lines being drawn
nobody's right if everybody's wrong
young people speaking their minds
getting so much resistance far behind

it's time we stop,
hey what's that sound
everybody look what's goin down

what a field day for the heat
a thousand people in the street
singin songs that they carry inside
mostly say hurray for our side

it's time we stop,
hey what's that sound
everybody look what's goin down

there are lawyer strikes deep
into your life it will creep
it starts when you're always afraid
step out of line the man come and take you away

you better stop
hey what's that sound
everybody look what's going down x4
