What are you listening to?

John Lennon

Imagine

Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine ALL THE PEOPLE
Living life IN PEACE

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live AS ONE

Beautiful Boy

Close your eyes
Have no fear
The monster's gone
He's on the run and your daddy's here

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy

Before you go to sleep
Say a little prayer
Every day in every way
It's getting better and better

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy

Out on the ocean sailing away
I can hardly wait
To see you come of age
But I guess we'll both just have to be patient
'Cause it's a long way to go
A hard row to hoe
Yes it's a long way to go
But in the meantime

Before you cross the street
Take my hand
Life is what happens to you
While you're busy making other plans

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy

Before you go to sleep
Say a little prayer
Every day in every way
It's getting better and better

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Darling, darling, darling

Hello, :)


Here my two favorite songs;

First one are "Krieger" from Die fantastischen Vier

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEn1YqfADuw&feature=related

I tried to translate that pretty interesting songtext from "Krieger" :-[ hope you like it.

the krieger awakes he over night the krieger was made
makes itself ready imagined
we spent the longest time time with to wait
time with words spent it us comfortably made
but timelessness makes itself broad now
awaked to that and is ready
and liberating from the area it lives in the vision
through-oh-rides your dream in secret mission
and it fights for the others from its dream to wake
because it white that in them many small krieger are
and it says nevertheless does not come with me
he asks for your dream asks why is you here
it has makes for the magic in the river of the time becomes clear it
it takes with all its reflects its future was
extends now by his consciousness and fulfills from the instant
it does not go to the next walked and knows returns it now
because it is awake now on nevertheless its dream goes to far because the charm works
it wildet up and its dream goes far because being charm works
it is awake on its dream still continues as the charms works
it wakes up and knows it
it is awake on from the dream that collectively dreams
with his old conceptions finally cleared up
replaces the isolation and sets to their places
the vision which we one are on one waves
because is a river that lives to flow must lets it flow
and the krieger says decided it time you will decide
who you are where you go on which side you stand
it becomes time that you understands that you at the wheel of the time turns
we lead one fight the meissten deliver it secretly
only the result pours from them out
and it can do it longs as a krieger feels it is existent
it the secret knows now there feels it in
rhythm the charm of the monotony
and energy like ever does not replace the theory
and it becomes clearly harmony brings the strength
its dream created truely it
now it is awake on nevertheless its dream goes to far because the charm works
it is awake on nevertheless its dream goes far because being charm works
it is awake on its dream still continues as the charms works
it wakes up
it is awake on nevertheless its dream goes to far because the charm works
it is awake on nevertheless its dream goes far because being charm works
it is awake on its dream continues much as the charms works
it wakes up and knows it
the charm of the music gives also you the strength
go to the next walked then dus created
the krieger shows you a piece free country a place
in your head which he found and its hand gives you
which you affect and you feel it are one it happen
you have the same vision now see you which it sees
and to her see krieger everywhere and all are you admits
each face each history is related to you
they fight for live krieger are therefore here
live for the dream and all this are part on you and give you
a feeling like a sign you missed it for a long time
so for a long time you do not fight you alone are
steps into the circle and makes true which you know
and the realization brings the strength with which you frees itself
and freely solved from fear completely
released which in you
because then grow up you and your dream goes far because your charm works
you grow on nevertheless your dream goes to far because the charm works
you grow on nevertheless continues your dream as the charms works
wachat you up and knows it
you grow up and your dream goes to far because the charm works
you grow up and your dream goes to far because the charm works
you grow on nevertheless continues your dream as the charms works
grow up you and know it

Band of Horses; The Funeral

I'm coming up only to hold you under
I'm coming up only to show you wrong
And to know you is hard and we wonder
To know you all wrong, we were

Really too late to call, so we wait for
Morning to wake you; it's all we got
To know me as hardly golden
Is to know me all wrong, they were

At every occasion I'll be ready for the funeral
At every occasion once more is called the funeral
Every occasion I'm ready for the funeral
At every occasion one billion day funeral

I'm coming up only to show you down for
I'm coming up only to show you wrong
To the outside, the dead leaves, they all blow
For they died had trees to hang their hope

At every occasion I'll be ready for the funeral
At every occasion once more is called the funeral
At every occasion I'm ready for the funeral
At every occasion one billion day funeral


Pretty neat vid for those interested, called "Inspired Bicycles" featuring Danny MacAskill. Found it to be an inspiring display of lack of fear, effort, flow, and balance.

Enjoy!

I just came back from smoking my lunch. I was watching clouds as usual, but thinking of Pepperfritz/Victoria, thinking about what the Cs said about her "being" there, and my own mortality. Then... the song below pops in my head and will not go away...

The Doors - Break on Through (to the Other Side) Lyrics

You know the day destroys the night
Night divides the day
Tried to run
Tried to hide
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side, yeah

We chased our pleasures here
Dug our treasures there
But can you still recall
The time we cried
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side

Yeah!
C'mon, yeah

I found an island in your arms
Country in your eyes
Arms that chain
Eyes that lie
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Break on through, oww!
Oh, yeah!

Made the scene
Week to week
Day to day
Hour to hour
The gate is straight
Deep and wide
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Break on through
Break on through
Break on through
Break on through
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
 
St. Vincent - Apocalypse Song

http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=CA&hl=en&v=68rXwBtNsy8

Wait
I'll be swifter
Than the speed of light
Carbon
All my body
A billion years of time

You'll wake
With the stitches
Over both your eyes
And deny
Me my body
And all earthly delights

It's time
You are light
I guess you are afraid of
What everyone is made of
Time and light
I guess you are afraid of
What everyone is made of

All of your praying
Amounts to just one breath
Please keep your victory
But give me little death

It's time
You are light
I guess you are afraid of
What everyone is made of
Time and light
I guess you are afraid of
What everyone is made of

It's time
You are light
I guess you are afraid of
What everyone is made of
Time and light
I guess you are afraid of
What everyone is made of
Everyone is made of

So take
To the streets with
Apocalypse refrain
Your devotion has the look of
A lunatic's gaze
 
David Gilmour in Royal Albert Hall

Coming Back To Life

Where were you when I was burned and broken
While the days slipped by from my window watching
Where were you when I was hurt and helpless
Because the things you say and the things you do surround me
While you were hanging yourself on someone else's words
Dying to believe in what you heard
I was staring straight into the shining sun

Lost in thought and lost in time
While the seeds of lifeand the seeds of change were planted
Outside the rain fell dark and slow
While I pondered on this dangerous but irresistible pastime
I took a heavenly ride through our silence
I knew the moment had arrived
For killing the past and coming back to life

I took a heavenly ride through our silence
I knew the waiting had begun
And headed straight..into the shining sun

The Editors: Escape the Nest

Incredibly powerful song this one, gives me goosebumps everytime I listen to it. One to put on full blast and jump round your bedroom to. :cool:

Lyrics:

Buildings in clouds here
Our time and our place dear
Theres life in us yet love
These walls we will climb above

We really our ants now
Escape the nest somehow
I ache for a feeling
You came and you poured it in, it in.

Buildings in clouds here
Our time and our place dear
Theres life in us yet love
These walls we will climb above, above.

Look up
Through the trees to feel as small as you can,
You hear the clocks counting down,
The nights are longer now than ever before,
But now you see the lights from the town.

Im drained and im empty
Ive still got love in me
Theres eyes in the sky tonight
Watching us lose the fight

We really are ants now
Escape the nest somehow
I ache for a feeling
You came and you poured it in, it in.

Look up
Through the trees to feel as small as you can,
You hear the clocks counting down,
The nights are longer now than ever before,
But now you see the lights from the town.

Look up
Through the trees to feel as small as you can,
You hear the clocks counting down,
The nights are longer now than ever before,
But now you see the lights of the town
 
Jack Johnson
Good People

You win it's your show now
So what's it going to be?
Because people will tune in
How many train wrecks do we need to see?
Before we lose touch
And we thought this was low
Well it's bad, getting worse….

Where'd all the good people go?
I've been changing channels and I don't see them on the tv shows
Where'd all the good people go?
We've got heaps and heaps of what we sow

They got this and that with a rattle a tat
Testing, one, two, man whatcha gonna do
Bad news misused, got too much to lose
Give me some truth now, who's side are we on
Whatever you say
Turn on the boob tube, I'm in the mood to obey
So lead me astray
And by the way now…

Where'd all the good people go?
I've been changing channels and I don't see them on the tv shows
Where'd all the good people go?
We've got heaps and heaps of what we sow

Sitting around feeling far away
So far away but I can feel the debris, can you feel it?
You interrupt me from a friendly conversation
To tell me how great it's all going to be
You might notice some hesitation
Because its important to you, it's not important to me
But way down by the edge of your reason
It's beginning to show and I really want to know is…

Where'd all the good people go?
I've been changing channels and I don't see them on the tv shows
Where'd all the good people go?
We got heaps and heaps of what we sow

They got this and that with a rattle a tat
Testing one, two man whatcha gonna do
Bad news misused give me some truth
You got too much to lose
Whose side are we on today, anyway
Okay, whatever you say
Wrong and resolute but in the mood to obey
Station to station desensitizing the nation
Going, going, gone

I think music is like the soundtrack to life :halo: When you think back to all those happy and not-so moments when hearing an old song for the first time in ages.

This particular song is quite new to me but still brings back good memories:

Robert Wyatt: Free Will and Testament

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Q7gSzJquW8

Given free will but within certain limitations,
I cannot will myself to limitless mutations,
I cannot know what I would be if I were not me,
I can only guess me.

So when I say that I know me, how can I know that?
What kind of spider understands arachnophobia?
I have my senses and my sense of having senses.
Do I guide them? Or they me?

The weight of dust exceeds the weight of settled objects.
What can it mean, such gravity without a centre?
Is there freedom to un-be?
Is there freedom from will-to-be?

Sheer momentum makes us act this way or that way.
We just invent or just assume a motivation.
I would disperse, be disconnected. Is this possible?
What are soldiers without a foe?

Be in the air, but not be air, be in the no air.
Be on the loose, neither compacted nor suspended.
Neither born nor left to die.

Had I been free, I could have chosen not to be me.
Demented forces push me madly round a treadmill.
Demented forces push me madly round a treadmill.
Let me off please, I am so tired.
Let me off please, I am so very tired.

This is one of two songs by Michael Jackson that I've enjoyed listening to.

Michael Jackson: Earth Song

Lyrics:

What about sunrise
What about rain
What about all the things
That you said we were to gain...
What about killing fields
Is there a time?

What about all the things
That you said was yours and mine...
Did you ever stop to notice
All the blood we've shed before?
Did you ever stop to notice
The crying Earth the weeping shores?

Aaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaah

What have we done to the world
Look what we've done
What about all the peace
That you pledge your only son...

What about flowering fields
Is there a time
What about all the dreams
That you said was yours and mine...

Did you ever stop to notice
All the children dead from war
Did you ever stop to notice
The crying Earth the weeping shores

Aaaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaaah

I used to dream...
I used to glance beyond the stars
Now I don't know where we are
Although I know we've drifted far

Aaaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaaaah

Hey, what about yesterday
(What about us)
What about the seas
(What about us)
The heavens are falling down
(What about us)
I can't even breathe
(What about us)

What about the bleeding Earth
(What about us)
Can't we feel its wounds
(What about us)
What about nature's worth
(ooo,ooo)
It's our planet's womb!
(What about us)

What about animals
(What about it)
We've turned kingdoms to dust
(What about us)
What about elephants
(What about us)

Have we lost their trust
(What about us)
What about crying whales
(What about us)
We're ravaging the seas
(What about us)
What about forest trails
(ooo, ooo)

Burnt despite our pleas
(What about us)
What about the holy land
(What about it)
Torn apart by creed
(What about us)
What about the common man
(What about us)
Can't we set him free
(What about us)

What about children dying
(What about us)
Can't you hear them cry
(What about us)
Where did we go wrong
(ooo, ooo)

Someone tell me why
(What about us)
What about babies
(What about it)
What about the days
(What about us)
What about all their joy
(What about us)

What about the man
(What about us)
What about the crying man
(What about us)
What about Abraham
(What was us)
What about death again
(ooo, ooo)

Do we give a damn?
 
Pretty cool trio :cool2:

Was listening to Machine Head, by Bush. Thought it was a neat tune as it brings some things to mind, and I have inserted links to C'pedia in the lyrics. Was fun!

Breathe in breathe out
Tied to a Wheel
Fingers got to Feel
Bleeding through a tourniquet smile
I Spin on a Whim
Slide to the Right
I felt you like Electric Light
For our Love
For our Fear
For our Rise against the years and years and years

Got a machinehead
It's better than the rest
Green to Red
Machine Head
I walk from my machine
I walk from my machine

Deaf dumb and thirty
Starting to deserve this
Leaning on my
Conscience Wall
Blood is like wine
Unconscious all the Time
If I had it all again
I'd change it all
