"The Show Starts Now"

The physicist and the mystic say there's no such thing as time.
If God is now and everywhere, why's it so hard to find?
I wanna be the guy who lives in the moment, not so lost in my mind.
So I guess my show starts now. My show starts now


Grandma said it don't matter where we go to or come from.
She said, "Worry about what you're made to do not what you're made of."
They say we're made of chaos. I say we're made of love.
And that's why our show starts now. Our show starts now.

Hold your breath for a better day, and you'll never learn how to breathe.
You're afraid of the dark, but that's where you learn to see.
Your no good to the living if you're too afraid to bleed.

And that's why your show starts now Your show starts now.

Divide By Zero,

That song makes me want to say "Let the show begin"! Thanks for sharing! :thup: I am just getting in a musical mood I guess. :)
 
Song I recently re-discovered. Thought the singer was from Antony and the Johnsons, apparently not:

The Irrepressibles, In This Shirt (Royksopp Remix):

Yas, the song, When It Comes by Incubus takes me back to my high school days. Pretty sure I still have that album somewhere.

A favorite of mine from that same album was Pardon Me:

Incubus - When It Comes


It's coming around again
They're letting it out again, again X4

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 X2

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

:headbanger:

It was one of my favourite songs during my teenage years :love:

Yas, I see why you re-remember this song. It is amazing how music brings to our remembrance those things that have meaning for us. I know you have been through some tough times recently and I hope you continue to share your thoughts and experiences with us. Thanks for expressing how you feel through music. The Cs say "Music is Good". I don't know why I have been slow to pick up on their thoughts but I do see that there are messages and support in music that can not come home to us quite as clear as other mediums. Yes, they are letting it out again but this time so are we, and NO. May you freely find the support you need on the forum. :) :thup: :headbanger:

Cleo,

Wow, what an education for an old "Fa_t" I wish I had been paying more attention to some of the newer music (in my case decades). Yes, I see what you are trying to relate to. I know this is a crazy time to be born. I think if you can hang in there maybe some of us old "far_s" will catch up.

Pardon me while I burst
Pardon me while I burst

A decade ago I never thought I would be a twenty-three
On the verge of spontaneous combustion, woe is me
But I guess that it comes with the territory
An ominous landscape of never ending calamity

I need you to hear, I need you to see
That I have had all I can take
And exploding seems like a definite possibility to me

So pardon me while I burst into flames
I've had enough of the world and its people's mindless games
So pardon me while I burn and rise above the flame
Pardon me, pardon me, I'll never be the same

Not two days ago I was having a look in a book
And I saw a picture of a guy fried up above his knees
I said I can relate 'cause lately I've been thinking of combustication
As a welcomed vacation

From the burdens of the planet earth
Like gravity, hypocrisy and the perils of being in 3-D
But thinking so much differently

Pardon me while I burst into flames
I've had enough of the world and its people's mindless games
So pardon me while I burn and rise above the flame
Pardon me, pardon me, I'll never be the same, never be the same

Pardon me while I burst into flames
Pardon me, pardon me, pardon me

So pardon me while I burst into flames
I've had enough of the world and its people's mindless games
So pardon me while I burn and rise above the flame
Pardon me, pardon me, I'll never be the same
Pardon me, I'll never be the same

I kind of remember when I was 23 but I can only imagine what it has been like for some of the younger members of the forum. Maybe you can help the ones who are closer to your age to relate to understand what is "going on", "mindless games" and all. :) Now I think will just go and "burst into flames". :(
 
Pardon Me is one of those songs that I heard during my depression and I wrote off liking it due to my mood at the time.

But even now it is very pertinent.

From the burdens of the planet earth
Like gravity, hypocrisy and the perils of being in 3-D

This part stands out to me in light of what the C's have said about the limitations of this reality.
 
Really like Incubus' Make Yourself album as well, and their songs Privilege, Pardon me, Drive and the DJ Jam"Battlestar Scralatchtica" - my other favourite song is New Skin from their first album S.C.I.E.N.C.E...lyrics below

At first I see an open wound
infected and disastrous
It breathes chaotic catastrophe
it cries to be renewed
Its tears are the color of anger,
they dry to form a scab
To the touch, its stiff and resilient,
underneath, the new skin breathes
As outwardly cliche as it may seem,
yes, something under the surface says,
"C'est la vie"
It is a circle, there is a plan
dead skin will atrophy itself to start again
Look closely at the open wound
see past what covers the surface
Underneath chaotic catastrophe,
creation takes stage.
Its all been saved
with exception for the right parts
When will we be new skin?
Its all been seen with exception for what could be
When will we be new skin?
Fallacious cognitions
spewed from televisions
do mold our decisions.
So stop and take a look,
and you'll see what I see now



Haven't heard them in a while, and this definitely brought back memories of high school days :)
 
We're Ready

I'm ready for more
The feelin' now that I'm beside you
We'll open the door
Do anything that we decide to
And I know that there's something that's just out of sight
And I feel like I'm finally seeing the light
Holdin' on girl I know it's right
I know it's right
We're ready!

You and I
We'll find a reason
To simplify a change of season
And I feel like it's time we were off on our way
We can go so much farther than we've come today
Holdin' on girl and come what may
Come what may
We're ready! C'mon
We can find a way

We're ready now
Catchin' a wave to ride on
Steady now
headin' where we decide on
And I know that there's something that's just out of sight
And I feel like we're trying to do something right
Come on make it if we hold on tight
Hold on tight
We're Ready! C'mon We're ready
We're ready

We're ready, 1...2...3...4...

We can find a way. We're ready now, oooh we're ready now.

We're ready now.

Thanks for Afion - Slavuj solarmind. I like the slow building and layering. The guitar and flute go well together I think. Wish I could understand the words but I still like the jazz quality they have. :)

Thanks Thaigrr, for the link to a brave and talented Ukrainian pianist. She and her family could use our support in these dark rainy days. :(
