God Is In The House by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4f6wzGpFKUQ)

We've laid the cables and the wires
We've split the wood and stoked the fires
We've lit our town so there is no
Place for crime to hide
Our little church is painted white
And in the safety of the night
We all go quiet as a mouse
For the word is out
God is in the house
God is in the house
God is in the house
No cause for worry now
God is in the house

Moral sneaks in the White House
Computer geeks in the school house
Drug freaks in the crack house
We don't have that stuff here
We got a tiny little Force
But we need them of course
For the kittens in the trees
And at night we are on our knees
As quiet as a mouse
For God is in the house
God is in the house
God is in the house
And no one's left in doubt
God is in the house

Homos roaming the streets in packs
Queer bashers with tyre-jacks
Lesbian counter-attacks
That stuff is for the big cities
Our town is very pretty
We have a pretty little square
We have a woman for a mayor
Our policy is firm but fair
Now that God is in the house
God is in the house
God is in the house
Any day now He'll come out
God is in the house

Well-meaning little therapists
Goose-stepping twelve-stepping Tetotalitarianists
The tipsy, the reeling and the drop down pissed
We got no time for that stuff here
Zero crime and no fear
We've bred all our kittens white
So you can see them in the night
And at night we're on our knees
As quiet as a mouse
Since the word got out
From the North down to the South
For no-one's left in doubt
There's no fear about
If we all hold hands and very quietly shout
Hallelujah
God is in the house
God is in the house
Oh I wish He would come out
God is in the house
 
Killing joke - Majestic (from Hosannas from the basement of hell - 2006)

Initiate wakey - wakey!

Accelerated eco - meltdown, no-one gives a damn
keep everyone in debt while the big banks own their land
Orwellian, Machiavellian, Hegelian dialectic
world management has come, and it's to be expected

You cannot tell the people(But some of us have guessed it)
every day is a blessing, i feel the best yet
majestic yes i feel fantastic

War of the worlds again, a necessary lie
psychological operations show they were right
religious institutions and the general status quo
economy and infrastructure - all of it will go

You cannot tell the people(But some of us have guessed it)
every day is a blessing, i feel the best yet
majestic yes i feel fantastic

Black triangles flashing red white and blue
aliens(or disinformation) yes it is true
contacts been established with critters from the stars
the surface of the earth will soon resemble mars

You cannot tell the people(But some of us have guessed it)
every day is a blessing, i feel the best yet
majestic yes i feel fantastic
just like magick
yes i feel fantastic
 
This is truly a song that, to me, encapsulates SOTT's spirit. Taking in the spiritually wounded, the lost and wandering, and reminding them that they are the Singer and can all sing in the face of this psychopathic World.

Dry Your Eyes
Words and Music by Neil Diamond and J.R. Robertson

Dry your eyes and take your song out, it's a newborn afternoon.
And if you can't recall the singer you can still recall the tune.
Dry your eyes and play it slowly like you're marching off to war;
sing it like you know he'd want it, like we sang it once before.
And from the center of the circle to the midst of the waiting crowd,
if it ever be forgotten sing it long and sing it loud and come dry your eyes.

And he taught us more about giving than we ever cared to know,
but we came to find the secret and we never let it go.
And it was more than being holy and it was less than being free,
and if you can't recall the reason can you hear the people sing.
Right through the lightning and the thunder to the dark side of the moon,
to that distant falling angel that descended much too soon
and come dry your eyes.

Come dry your eyes.
 
Gimme Shelter - The Rolling Stones

(VERY doom laden music and lyrics - seem appropriate for the present state of the world.)

Oh, a storm is threatning
My very life today
If I don't get some shelter
Oh yeah, I'm gonna fade away

War, children, its just a shot away
Its just a shot away
War, children, its just a shot away
Its just a shot away

Ooh, see the fire is sweeping
Our very street today
Burns like a red coal carpet
Mad bull lost its way

War,children, its just a shot away
Its just a shot away
War,children, its just a shot away
Its just ashot away

Rape, murder!
Its just a shot away
Its just a shot away

Rape, murder!
Its just a shot away
Its just a shot away

The floods is threatning
My very life today
Gimme, gimme shelter
Or I'm gonna fade away

War, children is just a shot away
Its just a shot away
Its just a shot away
Its just a shot away
Its just a shot away
I tell you love, sister, its just a kiss away
Its just a kiss away
Its just a kiss away
Its just a kiss away
Its just a kiss away
Kiss away, kiss away

I remember when I got 40 licks I first heard it and thought it was their best song never played. It was a Stones song that they never seem to include on the "Clasic Rock" stations.

Martin Scorcese uses it often in his films. The Stones joked that "Shine a Light", the doco of one of their concerts made by Scorcese was the only film of his that didn't have it. They left it off the setlist.
 
Open Up Your Eyes - by Evan Brightly
http://www.myspace.com/evanbrightly

I’m up before the sun can’t seem
to sleep well

Guess I’ll have an
early morning jog

Guess I’ll have
some breakfast

Guess I’ll go to
school and study Tegmark’s Quantum
Physics

I’m leaving building C
and noticing all of the people
walking

When suddenly they’re in
slow motion

And subtly they seem
to say

Open up your eyes to see
that life is something beautiful

And happiness depends on just
how well you see it

A leaf is
falling in slow motion and
suddenly it hits me that
all

Falling leaves bring light to
places that were once in in
shadow

How good it is to live
when leaves are falling all around
you

How good it is to die and
shed some light on those who love
you

So maybe when they’re walking
through a schoolyard

They can
hear you say

Open up your eyes
to see that life is something beautiful

And happiness depends
on just how well you see it

Open
up your ears and listen

Until
the silence sings aloud and then
you’ll realize

Life is what you
want to make it

Open up your mind
to see that life is something
beautiful

And happiness is paid
for by the trials

We all believe
in something

But surely you’d
conceive of something better if
you’d

Open up your eyes to see
that life is something beautiful

And happiness depends on just
how well you see it

Maybe it’s
me but I can’t seem to see any
difference

Between what you see
and the way that you come to
believe

Open up your mind to
see that life is something
beautiful

And happiness is paid
for by the trials

We all believe
in something

I’m sure that you’d
conceive of something better

But
you only see your eyelids when
they’re closed.

I find this CD to be SUPER helpful for reading. I found my copy at my local Walmart.
 
Who'll Stop the Rain - Creedence Clearwater Revival

Long as I remember The rain been coming down.
Clouds of myst'ry pouring Confusion on the ground.
Good men through the ages, Trying to find the sun;
And I wonder, still I wonder, Who'll stop the rain.

I went down to Virginia, Seeking shelter from the storm.
Caught up in the fable, I watched the tower grow.
Five year plans and new deals,
Wrapped in golden chains.
And I wonder, Still I wonder Who'll stop the rain.

Heard the singers playing, How we cheered for more.
The crowd had rushed together,
Trying to keep warm.
Still the rain kept pouring, Falling on my ears.
And still I wonder, Still I wonder Who'll stop the rain.
 
Sum 41 - march of the dogs


[Spoken:]
Ladies and gentlemen of the underclass,
The president of the United States of America,
Is Dead! [end Spoken]

I don't believe in the politics,
Of chosen fools and hypocrites,
Who walk a line that stretched so fine,
Is this what death or glory had in mind?

And here we go,
I guess the resolution,
No one knows,
Who'll lead this revolution, now,
As tension grows,
The way to a conclusion,

It's too late there's no time (it's too late there's no time)
All for none, none for one, two, three, four

March of the dogs,
To a beat of disillusion
Sworn under god,
Breeding panic and confusion,
The white flag is down,
Send in the clowns,
The carnival of sins is now going to begin,

It may be I'm a pessimist,
But I say we need an exorcist,
The root of all evil standing tall,
Under god and above us all,

And here we go,
Again in desperation,
All we know,
Is confusion and frustration,
As tension grows,
No vision of salvation

It's too late there's no time (it's too late there's no time)
All for none, none for one, two, three, four

March of the dogs,
To a beat of disillusion
Sworn under God,
Breeding panic and confusion,
The white flag is down,
Send in the clowns,
The carnival of sins is now going to begin,

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
A-one, two, three, four

Another president dead,
Because they blew off his head,
No more neck to be red,
Yes to heaven he fled,
Was it something he said,
Because of who's in his bed,
By who will we be led?
From whose hand will we be fed?
All the lies by the lying liars who said
We'll be fine,
It's OK,
Hey look mom no head



Sum 41 The Jester

A jester of sorts
You stand holding your court
Over minions of capital hill
In a bath full of blood
I'm alone, standing still
Under God, you can fire at will

And when
The devil's angels come
Take your life and lead you
To the flames beneath
Your head stone reads here
Lies the dead who was,
Hung by his head beneath us,
Laying in their graves,
To a nation free for all

A prodigal son
Can't undo what he's done
A figure head of capital crime
With a light shining down
As you fall to your knees
To repent would be nothing but lies!!

And when (when! )
The devil's angels come
Take your life and lead you
To the flames beneath
Your head stone reads here
Lies the dead who was,
Hung by his head beneath us,
Laying in their graves,
To a nation free for all

La la la la la la la la la la la (hey! ) (hey! )...

Dead beat
Six feet
Dead underground

An eye for an eye
Only leaves us all blind
Going once twice there goes your life

And when (when! )
The devil's angels come
Take your life and lead you
To the flames beneath
Your head stone reads now
Here lies the dead who was,
Hung by his head beneath us,
Laying in their graves,
To a nation free for all



NOFX Idiots Are Taking Over

it's not the right time to be sober
now the idiots have taken over
spreading like a social cancer, is there an answer?

Mensa membership conceding
tell me why and how are all the stupid people breeding
Watson, it's really elementary
the industrial revolution
has flipped the bitch on evolution
the benevolent and wise are being thwarted, ostracized, what a bummer
the world keeps getting dumber
insensitivity is standard and faith is being fancied over reason

darwin's rollin over in his coffin
the fittest are surviving much less often
now everything seems to be reversing, and it's worsening
someone flopped a steamer in the gene pool
now angry mob mentality's no longer the exception, it's the rule
and im startin to feel a lot like charlton heston
stranded on a primate planet
apes and orangutans that ran it to the ground
with generals and the armies that obeyed them
followers following fables
philosophies that enable them to rule without regard

there's no point for democracy when ignorance is celebrated
political scientists get the same one vote as some Arkansas inbred
majority rule, don't work in mental institutions
sometimes the smallest softest voice carries the grand biggest solutions

what are we left with?
a nation of god-fearing pregnant nationalists
who feel it's their duty to populate the homeland
pass on traditions
how to get ahead religions
And prosperity via simpleton culture

the idiots are takin over [x8]
 
Mint Royale : "Show Me".

There's a wonderful sample of an a song Sesiya Hamba (Siyahamba) from the African musical soundtrack Ipi Tombi which is the best use of sample I've heard.

Uplifting!

Sorry i had first posted this in "my song", but it may be better here...

For two years I have lived without electricity, so I got rid of 'artificial music' 'addiction'. The result is that when I hear it, I feel like dancing, I fully react to it. How music work in our 'body'? Maybe thru the linked water contained in it...
Anyway, I share these two songs with you...
reggae (which is not the only thing I listen to) is a sacred audio-active music...
Furthermore it seems that the Marley's DNA is very strong :). These two songs have not been managed by the record industry...

Love Is My Religion
Ziggy Marley

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heUVrcYWqOc


Love is my religion, Love is my religion, Love is my religion
I'll take you to the temple tonight

All my days I've been searching, to find out what this life is worth
through the books and bibles of time I've made up my mind
I don't condemn, I don't convert, this is a calling have you heard
bring all the lovers to the fold, cause no one is gonna lose their soul

Love is my religion, Love is my religion, Love is my religion
hey you can take it or leave it, and you don't have to believe it

I don't want to fight, hey let's go fly a kite
there's nothing that we can't cure, and I'll keep you in my arms for sure
so don't let nobody stop us, free spirits have to soar
with you I share the gift, the gift that we now know oh oh oh

( Chorus )

Well I'm done searching now, I found out what this life is worth
not in the books that I find, but by searching my mind
I don't condemn, I don't convert
this is the calling have you heard, bring all the lovers to the fold
no one is gonna lose their soul



Ibn Arabi

“My heart is able to take any shape.
A meadow for gazelles,
a convent for monks,
a temple for idols,
a Ka’ba for pilgrims,
the tablets of the Torah,
the Book of the Quran.
I profess the religion of Love,
and whichever way his steed should take,
Love be my religion and my faith.”
 
Tegan and Sara - Back In Your Head (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlyav8Lq5i4)

Build a wall of books between us in our bed
Repeat, repeat the words that I know we both said
Relax into the need
We get so comfortable
Remember when I was so strange and likeable
I just want back in your head
I just want back in your head
I'm not unfaithful
But I'll stray
When I get a little scared
When I get a little scared
When I get a little
When I jerk away from holding hands with you
I know these habits hurt important parts of you
Remember when I was sweet and unexplainable
Nothing like this person, unlovable
I just want back in your head
I just want back in your head
I'm not unfaithful
But I'll stray
When I get a little scared
When I get a little scared
When I get a little scared
When I get a little
Run, run, run
Run
Run, run, run
Run
I just want back in your head
I just want back in your head
I'm not unfaithful
But I'll stray
 
E Muzeki-

"The group's primary instrumental blend includes acoustic guitar with either Gypsy or Celtic violin, or the Greek bouzouki as the melodic lead, and vast array of percussion. Often, however, the musicians will shift voices introducing the indian sitar or sitara, Flamenco guitar, accordion, penny whistle, and rauschphife, creating rich and exuberant musical textures rarely experienced by western ears.

Drawing from Gypsy, Greek, Spanish, and Celtic traditions while not being bound by them, the group has developed a unique and captivating style. Whether playing actual folk repertoire, or one of their original compositions, E Muzeki brings fresh emotion to ancient musical tradition, drawing listeners of all ages and from every walk of life." http://www.emuzeki.com/emuzeki.html
