Radiohead - Street Spirit (Fade Out)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCJblaUkkfc

Rows of houses, all bearing down on me
I can feel their blue hands touching me
All these things into position
All these things we'll one day swallow whole
And fade out again and fade out

This machine will, will not communicate
These thoughts and the strain I am under
Be a world child, form a circle
Before we all go under
And fade out again and fade out again

Cracked eggs, dead birds
Scream as they fight for life
I can feel death, can see its beady eyes
All these things into position
All these things we'll one day swallow whole
And fade out again and fade out again

Immerse your soul in love
IMMERSE YOUR SOUL IN LOVE​
 
"Here and Heaven"

With a hammer and nails and a fear of failure we are building a shed
Between here and heaven between the wait and the wedding for as long as we both shall be dead
To the world beyond the boys and the girls trying to keep us calm
We can practice our lines 'til we're deaf and blind to ourselves to each other
Where it's fall not winter spring not summer cool not cold
And it's warm not hot have we all forgotten that we're getting old

With an arrow and bow and some seeds left to sow we are staking our claim
On ground so fertile we forget who we've hurt along the way and reach out
For a strange hand to hold someone strong but not bold enough to tear down the wall
'Cause we aint lost enough to find the stars aren't crossed why align them why fall hard not soft
Into fall not winter spring not summer cool not cold
Where it's warm not hot have we all forgotten that we're getting old

And it's fall not winter spring not summer cool not cold
And it's warm not hot has everyone forgotten that we're getting old
And it's fall not winter spring not summer cool not cold
And it's warm not hot have we all forgotten that we're getting old​

I hate to take up space but "Dang!" that was cool! :thup:
 
Frustrated people reaching out....

As with all existential awakenings, there's the fury'd burst, then the contempt, rationalization; and then it's up to you....



Oh sunshine
The loving beauty
Pass me by
Should I waste my time
In your valley
Beneath your sky?

Aah, aah, aah, aah
I am home

You move your own mountain
The trees have grown
The trees have grown
Now it's over
Now it's over and I'm coming home

Aah, aah, aah, aah
I am home

Numbered!


Ah, we are numbered,
We are numb, we are not alone.
Ah, we are numbered.
We are numb, we are numb...
All the world's been waiting for a photograph.
All the time we've waited for a sign.
It'll soon be over, all I want is honesty.
It'll soon be over, all we've got is time.
Ah, we are numbered, we are numb, we are not alone!
Ah, we are numbered, we are numb, we are numb.
So we search for home
Only God knows God.
I'm alright to fly!
Only we both know we never once were right...
But we tried.
Say it!
Ah, we are numbered, we are numb, we are not alone!
Ah, we are numbered, we are numb, we are numb.

I love this thread - like windows into everyone's lives. This is me these days, or at least what i'm aiming for:

No lyrics, just solid, well meaning feels. "Arovane & Hior Chronik - After Tomorrow"

Zin,

Are you sure you are not "Zen":

[urlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zen]Zen[/url]
Zen emphasizes rigorous meditation-practice, insight into Buddha-nature, and the personal expression of this insight in daily life, especially for the benefit of others

Anyway, I feel some of the same vibes.

May we all rise together!

Thanks Azur and Heimdallr,

I feel much more balanced now. I guess we need both despair and hope to observe reality right and left. I found some "truth" in both songs.
 
Just heard this song on Radio now, and moved me ... simple every day song but actualy touching the wounded heart of the earth ... and I am singing it loud just now ... and i feel love that embrace us all


https://youtu.be/RtGfjmDBErU

Cell phone rings, they found a Mr. Jaffery
The corner of the street two buildings down
Wailing in a wheelchair, in the pouring rain
I’m all alone
I’m all alone

Tommy has a plan to marry Liz
But all guys in the block don't think he's right
Liz doesn’t think too much, she’s with her Bob and James
Oh, she’s so wild
Oh, she’s so wild

But you say you’ll never give up on me
You know think that I never knew
Time is helping my eyes to see
Your love which it is true

Kinsli and Papinda live in Africa
In a little town since 1969
But roses in the garden don’t impress them much
Because they’re blind
Completely blind

The world around is full of broken hearts
But how to find the way to fix them all again
And where to find this perfect medicine
To cure our pain
To cure our pain

But you say you’ll never give up on me
You know think that I never knew
Time is helping my eyes to see
Your love which it is true

But you say you’ll never give up on me
You know think that I never knew
Time is helping my eyes to see
Your love which it is true
