What are you listening to?


Love this comment someone wrote on the video:

It's amazing what people can do with their lives when they are not distracted by every little shiny electronic thing or tangled up in other people's lives but instead drawing on the powers of the universe that God gave us along with free will to do with our lives as we would to add to the beauty that is life.. Music especially has the ability to inspire one to create beauty in a world filled with it. Music left eases the pain of the ugliness of the world too. These fellows have a gift that they somehow,sometimes make a song even better than the original like Steven Drozd and Maynard James Keenan did with Elton Johns "Rocket Man". Peace....

Sorry it's a bit heavy.

"Wheels Of Confusion / The Straightener"


Long ago I wandered through my mind
In the land of fairy tales and stories
Lost in happiness I knew no fears
Innocence and love was all I knew
It was an illusion

Soon the days were passing into years
Happiness just didn't come so easy
Life was more than fairy tales and daydreams
Innocence was just another word
It was an illusion

Lost in the wheels of confusion
Running through valleys of tears
Eyes full of angry delusion
Hiding in everyday fears

So I found that life is just a game
But you know there's never been a winner
Try your hardest, you'll still be a loser
The world will still be turning when you're gone
Yeah when you're gone!

And one more:

"A National Acrobat"


I am the world that hides
The universal secret of all time
Destruction of the empty spaces
Is my one and only crime
I've lived a thousand times
I found out what it means to be believed
The thoughts and images
The unborn child that never was conceived

When little worlds collide
I'm trapped inside my embryonic cell
And flashing memories
Are cast into the never ending well
The name that scorns the face
The child that never sees the cause of man
The deathly darkness that
Belies the fate of those who never ran

Well I know its hard for you
To know the reason why
And I know you'll understand
More when it's time to die
Don't believe the life you have
Will be the only one
You have to let your body sleep
To let your soul live on

Love has given life to you
And now it's your concern
Unseen eyes of inner life
Will make your soul return
Still I look but not to touch
The seeds of life are sown
Curtain of the future falls
The secret stays unknown

Just remember love is life
And hate is living death
Treat your life for what it's worth
And live for every breath
Looking back I've lived and learned
But now I'm wondering
Here I wait and only guess
What this next life will bring​





 
Hello!

I enjoy listening to a variety of music. I listen to classical, blues, rock, and jazz.

My favourite composer is Fryderyk Chopin. His Mazurkas are fantastic! His music contains the perfect balance of intellect and emotion.

Chopin - Mazurka, Op. 30 No. 3 (Played By Arthur Rubinstein)

Jimi Hendrix - Wild Thing (Live At The Black Pool Opera House)

Syd Barrett - Maisie

T-Bone Walker - You Don't Understand

Working Class Hero -- John Lennon

As soon as your born they make you feel small,
By giving you no time instead of it all,
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all,

A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.

They hurt you at home and they hit you at school,
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool,
Till you're so facking crazy you can't follow their rules,

A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.

When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years,
Then they expect you to pick a career,
When you can't really function you're so full of fear,

A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.

Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV,
And you think you're so clever and classless and free,
But you're still facking peasants as far as I can see,

A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.

There's room at the top they are telling you still,
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill,
If you want to be like the folks on the hill,

A working class hero is something to be.
A working class hero is something to be.

If you want to be a hero well just follow me,
If you want to be a hero well just follow me.

This lyric is awesome, "They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool."

for months this obscure but great song from a band called Colonel Bagshot has been repeating in my head. it's called Six Day War and was recorded in 1971.

listen to this haunting song here: Video by A B

Colonel Bagshot - Six Day War

At the starting of the week
At summit talks you'll hear them speak
It's only Monday
Negotiations breaking down
See those leaders start to frown
It's sword and gun day

Tomorrow never comes until it's too late

You could be sitting taking lunch
The news will hit you like a punch
It's only Tuesday
You never thought we'd go to war
After all the things we saw
It's April Fools day

Tomorrow never comes until it's too late
Tomorrow never comes until it's too late

You hear a whistling overhead
Are you alive or are you dead?
It's only Thursday
You feel a shaking on the ground
A billion candles burn around
Is it your birthday?

Tomorrow never comes until it's too late
Tomorrow never comes until it's too late
Make tomorrow come I think it's too late

The riffs in the song compliment the lyrics perfectly. The music is composed very well!
