What are you listening to?


I heard this song last winter and it touched me w tears but I didn't really notice the lyrics.

The other week I heard it and decided to look up the lyrics!

They focus on a relationship, but I sensed the lyrics/melody more in relation to what's happening in this reality and the precarious state of things- and not being sure of what will happen , but I suppose that is what the C's mean by non-anticipation and the importance of not stopping the work and being complacent. That's why its called the way of the fool :) There is no definite reward, just do as yoda says :)

"Stay Gold"

The sun shone high those few summer days
Left us in a soft, wide-eyed haze
It shone like gold
It shone like gold

But just as the moon it shines straight
So dawn goes down today
No gold can stay
No gold can stay

What if our hard work ends in despair?
What if the road won't take me there?
Oh, I wish, for once, we could stay gold

What if to love and be loved's not enough?
What if I fall and can't bear to get up?
Oh, I wish, for once, we could stay gold
We could stay gold

We're on our way through rugged land
Top of that mountain we wanted to stand
With hearts of gold
With hearts of gold

But there is only forward, no other way
Tomorrow was your hope at the end of the day
And gold turns gray
And gold turns gray

What if our hard work ends in despair?
What if the road won't take me there?
Oh, I wish, for once, we could stay gold

What if to love and be loved's not enough?
What if I fall and can't bear to get up?
Oh, I wish, for once, we could stay gold
We could stay gold

All of my dreams, they fall and form a bridge
Of memories where I can get back
All of my dreams, they fall and form a bridge
Of memories where I can't get back to you

What if our hard work ends in despair?
What if the road won't take me there?
Oh, I wish, for once, we could stay gold

What if to love and be loved's not enough?
What if I fall and can't bear to get up?
Oh, I wish, for once, we could stay gold
We could stay gold

Could stay gold
Stay gold

Thanks for sharing, Lilies and Goyacobol. It's funny, but I've watched this same performance for the first time in my life about three days ago - synchronicity? :D

Celia's got such a charming voice, very beautiful. As for the Russian Voice, she might find a lot in common with this Russian girl, I think ;)

Another beautiful voice, thanks Siberia. I must be in the mood for music today. I listened to another song by the same girl done around December 2014 where the one judge joins in with harmony. I had seen the judge in other videos before and she also has a beautiful voice. This duo has a kind of haunting beautiful melody:

 
One of the best indicators of live in Split, Dalmatia, Croatia. Very cheerful and happy if you feeling sad:

"The Miracle"

Every drop of rain that falls in Sahara Desert says it all,
It's a miracle,
All God's creations great and small, the Golden Gate and the Taj Mahal,
That's a miracle,
Test tube babies being born, mothers, fathers dead and gone,
It's a miracle,
We're having a miracle on earth, mother nature does it all for us,
The wonders of this world go on, the hanging Gardens of Babylon,
Captain Cook and Cain and Able, Jimi Hendrix to the Tower of Babel
It's a miracle, it's a miracle, it's a miracle, it's a miracle,
The one thing we're all waiting for, is peace on earth - an end to war,
It's a miracle we need - the miracle, the miracle we're all waiting for today,
If every leaf on every tree, could tell a story that would be a miracle,
If every child on every street, had clothes to wear and food to eat,
That's a miracle,
If all God's people could be free, to live in perfect harmony,
It's a miracle, we're having a miracle on earth,
Mother nature does it all for us
Open hearts and surgery, Sunday mornings with a cup of tea,
Super powers always fighting,
But Mona Lisa just keeps on smiling,

The wonders of this world go on,
It's a miracle, it's a miracle, it's a miracle, it's a miracle,
The one thing we're all waiting for, is peace on earth and an end to war,
It's a miracle we need, the miracle, the miracle,
Peace on earth and end to war today,
That time will come one day you'll see when we can all be friends,
[repeat ...]

ps. Love your post Dakota ... yep Split style ;)
 
The man who sold the world - David Bowie



"The Man Who Sold The World"

We passed upon the stair, we spoke of was and when
Although I wasn't there, he said I was his friend
Which came as some surprise I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone, a long long time ago

Oh no, not me
I never lost control
You're face to face
With The Man Who Sold The World

I laughed and shook his hand, and made my way back home
I searched for form and land, for years and years I roamed

I gazed a gazely stare at all the millions here
We must have died alone, a long long time ago

Who knows? not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the Man who Sold the World

Amazingly beautiful lullaby, thanks for sharing Ysus. I've never heard this before. I love lullabies very much and this one is very touching. I haven't understood a single word except for "bayu-bai", though. :-[

The description of the video says: "Celtic Folk aus Moldawien", an interesting mix.

Hi Siberia. I don’t understand the text either, so I put it into "google translate" to at least get the drift. Not much to it in verbal terms, it seems, but great at fulfilling its purpose: being a sweet lullaby :)

Idzie idzie sen wieczorem, tonie tonie świat we mgle
Słonko ziewa ponad borem bo jemu spać się chce
a w brzozowym cichym gaju wszystkie listki tez ziewają
baju baju baju baju baju baju baj

Go go sleep in the evening , sinking drowning the world in the fog
Honey yawns than boron because you want him to sleep
in a quiet grove of birch leaves also all yawn
baju baju baju baju baju baju baj
