Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeMFqkcPYcg

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree
I travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something

Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree
I travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something

Hold your head up, keep your head up, movin' on
Hold your head up, movin' on, keep your head up, movin' on
Hold your head up, movin' on, keep your head up, movin' on
Hold your head up, movin' on, keep your head up

Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused

Hold your head up, keep your head up, movin' on
Hold your head up, movin' on, keep your head up, movin' on
Hold your head up, movin' on, keep your head up, movin' on
Hold your head up, movin' on, keep your head up

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree
I travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree
I travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree
I travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree
I travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something




Seira Kagami - Never
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbIsfq5C8qA

Eyes still closed Sunshine showed
Through the curtains and the noise

I awoke to your voice
Thinking you'll be by my side

You and I lay close in heart
Please save us from being apart
Time ran too fast to feel
your warmth and love

Never too long or harsh
Always, Beside you
that's all I wished for
Never too sad or hard
Can't bear, loosing, my everything

Walking down flight of stairs
Leaving path of footsteps

Sitting down on a chair
Leaving shadow to share

Standing still with nothing new
Staring down at my shoe in tears
Want to follow what you left behind for me?

Never too short or cold
Always, Beside you
That's all I wished for
Never too sad or hard
Apart from today, you have gone away

Never too long or harsh
Always, Beside you
that's all I wished for
Never too sad or hard
Can't bear, loosing, my everything

Very nice, I've never heard them before.

Reading Laura's excellent article today Global Pathocracy, Authoritarian Followers and the Hope of the World , it is ended with Revelation 19:17-21 - the "Supper of God". Thereafter reading this quote, was reminded of an old song by the group Genesis, with Peter Gabriel; vocals and theatrics. This rendition is with Phil Collins on drums from 1974 and it is called "Suppers Ready". The lyrics are, to say the least, very strange-biblical/prophetic/apocalyptic with the mark of the beast and much more (it's a 24 min. song and a wee bit dated).

Just happened across this one:
Louisa John-Krol – Which Of These Worlds


https://youtu.be/-6P-AF-hWEM

Lyrics:
And here's a world in which I can fly,
and here's a lake I skim like a mermaid,
here's a world where I'm imprisoned,
here's a pentagram of spells
that take a shape and burn like fire,
and here's a world where I beg for my life,
and here's a pleasure screamed with delight,
and here's a street I stalk as a vampire,
here's a world where I am a queen,
and here's a world where love reigns supreme,
and here's a world where I cannot walk.

And which of these worlds will I cry for?
And which of these worlds will I yearn for?
And which world did I choose?
And which of these was I thrown into?

and here's a lever lowering a bridge
that's leads to castles far in the wood,
and here's a carriage in which I ride
to my demise, my execution,
here I dance with daggers of steel
and here I run with wolves to the sea,
and here's a plate where poison is placed,
a gun to end the life of a rebel
here is snow where a life did expire,
and here's a banquet filled with mirth,
and here's an edict that would make
a billion people into slaves,
and here's a hole that leads to my freedom,
here's a shroud concealing a grail,
and here's a flag, and here's a sail
to take me to the next galaxy.
 
Shakespeare's Sister was on the Sunday morning music channel last week with their song Stay
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZF3-mHk5jJE
I'd never heard it like that before because I was just a kid in the 90's,
I got all excited when the dark lady started singing :)
The film clip is something else too, it starts off with the moon and shooting star, then here's a guy on life support being begged to STAY.. Stay coz you're our life support system and if you go home we won't survive.
 
This is a fun one from the perspective of someone who has gotten fed up with the inhumanity of only socializing through social media:

by Placebo - "Too Many Friends"

https://youtu.be/x_xaZ8dQnRE

The following seems sort of a feel good/ "power of love" type song, but I found the lyrics sort of interesting if the lyrics are interpreted using more "esoteric" definitions of the words. I also found the the imagery of "people in robots" in the video to be humorously appropriate, although the fighting seems disconnected from the meaning of the lyrics.

by KOKIA - "Fate"

https://youtu.be/RX4X0bVjwpE?list=PL5576AB7A87661AFF
 
I used to be an Incubus fan when I was a teenager... recently I accidentally came across their music again and remembered their nice lyrics. :)

One of my favourites: When it comes - Incubus


https://youtu.be/vya0zRN_q04?list=PLA0759461A8D0DE0C

It's coming around again
They're letting it out again, again
It's coming around again
They're letting it out again, again
It's coming around again
They're letting it out again, again
It's coming around again
They're letting it out again
When it comes, it comes abrupt
And it feels, it feels like trading brains with an imbecile
For real
Yes I feel emphatic about not being static
And not buying philosophies that are sold to me, no, at a steal
Just when you thought, it was safe to think
In comes mental piracy, and no
What I'm looking for (for)
Can not be sold to me
I wish they all would stop trying
Cuz what I want, and what I need, is and will always be free
It's coming around again
They're letting it out again, again
It's coming around again
They're letting it out again
When it comes, it comes unannounced
And it feels like a matador is taunting me with his reddest red cloth
And I am the bull
Yes I feel emphatic about not being static
And not eating the bullshit that's being fed to me
Cuz now I'm full
Just when you thought, it was safe to think
In comes mental piracy, and no
What I'm looking for (for)
Can not be sold to me
I wish they all would stop trying
Cuz what I want, and what I need, is and will always be free
It's coming around again
They're letting it out again, again
