What are you listening to?

Every time I look at this thread, I see the avatar of Mary there, and wonder what happened to her/him?
The thread has inspired 2800 replies, and was begun way back in 2007, and yet Mary has only posted 52 times.
The artwork on the avatar is beautifully done.

Where are you, Mary?

Some humans ain't human
Some people ain't kind
You open up their hearts
And here's what you'll find
A few frozen pizzas
Some ice cubes with hair
A broken Popsicle
You don't want to go there

Some humans ain't human
Though they walk like we do
They live and they breathe
Just to turn the old screw
They screw you when you're sleeping
They try to screw you blind
Some humans ain't human
Some people ain't kind

You might go to church
And sit down in a pew
Those humans who ain't human
Could be sittin' right next to you
They talk about your family
They talk about your clothes
When they don't know their own ass
From their own elbows

Jealousy and stupidity
Don't equal harmony
Jealousy and stupidity
Don't equal harmony

Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm

[Spoken:]
Have you ever noticed
When you're feeling really good
There's always a pigeon
That'll come shit on your hood

Or you're feeling your freedom
And the world's off your back
Some cowboy from Texas
Starts his own war in Iraq

Some humans ain't human
Some people ain't kind
They lie through their teeth
With their head up their behind
You open up their hearts
And here's what you'll find
Some humans ain't human
Some people ain't kind

Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm
 
I'm not a fan of Eurovision, but just wanted to share this new video with you: this is our Russian singer Polina Gagarina. The song is simple, but I like the message, the voice and the video, hope you also enjoy it.


The video has already been viewed almost 5.5 million times, and most of the comments are of political nature, because she is Russian. But who knows, maybe she can break this wall of prejudice, as many commenters actually support her. :flowers:

Yes! I saw this video this morning and thought her voice was brilliant! I watched a few of the other entries as well; http://www.eurovision.tv/page/timeline
 

"Never Learn"

Let all them hounds off of their leashes,
Gave all that money to the rich,
They're gonna hand you down now that short handed shovel and direct you directly to the ditch.

Now just hear them talkin tongues child,
Though you know not what they mean,
Ain't gonna make no kind of difference,
Just keep your eyes focused on the screen.

Yes I guess I see,
They ain't doin nothin here but leechin off of you and me, well
Yes I guess I know,
There ain't no place left on this earth that I can call my own, and
Yes I hope I see
The day we all wake up and stop them ships upon the sea, well
Hallelujah,
Let it all just burn,
Cause they ain't the type for listenin and they sure ain't never gonna learn.

You can watch them as they circle,
Like them vultures in the sky,
Waitin now just so patiently for every breathin soul to die.
Yes they feed off of your blood child,
As it flows out of your veins,
Ain't about what you have lost now,
Only what they have gained.

Yes I guess I see,
They ain't doin nothin here but livin' off of you and me, well
Yes I guess I know,
There ain't no place left on this earth that I can call my own, and
Yes I hope I see
The day we all wake up and stop them ships upon the sea, well
Hallelujah,
Let it all just burn,
Cause they ain't the type for listenin and they sure ain't never gonna learn.

You can feel them as they watch you,
A thousand eyes now filled with pain,
I'll just sit back and relax now,
As your heart disconnects from your brain.

Yes I guess I see,
They ain't doin nothin here but livin' off of you and me, well
Yes I guess I know,
There ain't no place left on this earth that you can call your own, and
Yes I hope I see
The day we all wake up and get up off our bended knees, well
Hallelujah,
Let it all just burn,
Cause they ain't the type for listenin and they sure ain't never gonna learn.
 
Nine Inch Nails - Right Where it Belongs


"Right Where It Belongs"

See the animal in his cage that you built
Are you sure what side you're on?
Better not look him too closely in the eye
Are you sure what side of the glass you are on?
See the safety of the life you have built
Everything where it belongs
Feel the hollowness inside of your heart
And it's all
Right where it belongs

[Chorus:]
What if everything around you
Isn't quite as it seems?
What if all the world you think you know
Is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection
Is it all you want it to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks?
Would you find yourself
Find yourself afraid to see?

What if all the world's inside of your head
Just creations of your own?
Your devils and your gods
All the living and the dead
And you're really all alone?
You can live in this illusion
You can choose to believe
You keep looking but you can't find the woods
While you're hiding in the trees

[Chorus:]
What if everything around you
Isn't quite as it seems?
What if all the world you used to know
Is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection
Is it all you want it to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks
Would you find yourself
Find yourself afraid to see?
