What are you listening to?

You Learn, by Alanis Morissette.
The end of the video was a surprise and got me crying a little....like a friend said once - "looks like she may have made 33".

Enjoy!

I recommend getting your heart trampled on to anyone
I recommend walking around naked in your living room
Swallow it down (what a jagged little pill)
It feels so good (swimming in your stomach)
Wait until the dust settles

You live you learn
You love you learn
You cry you learn
You lose you learn
You bleed you learn
You scream you learn

I recommend biting off more then you can chew to anyone
I certainly do
I recommend sticking your foot in your mouth at any time
Feel free
Throw it down (the caution blocks you from the wind)
Hold it up (to the rays)
You wait and see when the smoke clears

You live you learn
You love you learn
You cry you learn
You lose you learn
You bleed you learn
You scream you learn

Wear it out (the way a three-year-old would do)
Melt it down (you're gonna have to eventually anyway)
The fire trucks are coming up around the bend

You live you learn
You love you learn
You cry you learn
You lose you learn
You bleed you learn
You scream you learn

You grieve you learn
You choke you learn
You laugh you learn
You choose you learn
You pray you learn
You ask you learn
You live you learn

Love Song - K-os

I really like this song a lot. K-os is one of my favourite Canadian Artists.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyRB00Xe5-E

Contrary to popular belief, know what yo
This is not a lovesong
It's a sonnett
Damn if feels good to have people up on it but
I'm just a fool playing with the masters tools
Learning how to break the rules of this record company tool
Hallucination - I see with my eyes
But my heart's telling me lies
Why do I fantisize?
Why am I telling lies to the people from the stage
Pretending it's all good when inside it's fire and rage
Cuz I can't understand how a man lives off the life of another man
Tryin to pimp the universe - that's a joke
I stay rockin the boat down on my last note
It's murder she wrote
Assassination vocabulary
I see your termination is heavily necessary
I should have known - they do it for Forbes alone
I do it to break the walls if I fall off then let me know people

CHORUS
It's funny how life can go
First you ride high then you might lay low
Don't get high off your own supply
Someone said first before a fall comes pride
This is my message to the world
Just tryin to reach every boy and girl
Not tryin to say if it's right or wrong
This is just a love song

Lyrical optometrists with 20/20 vision
Are serving rhymes like my granny used to serve provisions
Chaotical amneotical fluid
The rap druid is fluent in the art of onomatopoeia
Metaphysical microscopic topic dropper
When I was a kid I wanted rollerskates and a bike chopper
But alas, pop, pop never thought to keep me in style
Thats why I'm schizophrenic now
So God bless the child that has his own
The harvest we reap is what we sow
Chrome microphone - shoot it
Towards a dome of computer digital clones that mimic philosopher stones
Sayin a style's their own when they bite like Mike Furounsville
The sounds ill
Relationship is a mirror
That you see yourself up in and the picture is clearer
Thats why I'm on the scene with a mike like Ernesto Guevara
Why I may exploit with lights like Geraldo Rivera, they just.

CHORUS(again)

It's easy not to care what people say
It's harder to pretend and try
Cuz they can only love you from yesterday
I'm looking at them now they pose high
I'm just a man who's walking
They stand around and keep talking
They tried to clip my wings
But wisdom fills so many things
Say it again
I'm just a man who's walking
They stand around and keep talking
They tried to clip my wings
But wisdom fills so many things

It's funny how life can go
Dont get high off your own supply
This is my message to the world...
 
A repost (TF posted it before) but it is so apt:


Limelight

Living on a lighted stage
Approaches the unreal
For those who think and feel
In touch with some reality
Beyond the gilded cage

Cast in this unlikely role,
Ill-equipped to act
With insufficient tact
One must put up barriers
To keep oneself intact

Living in the limelight
The universal dream
For those who wish to seem

Those who wish to be
Must put aside the alienation
Get on with the fascination
The real relation
The underlying theme

Living in a fisheye lens
Caught in the camera eye
I have no heart to lie
I can't pretend a stranger
Is a long-awaited friend

All the worlds indeed a stage
And we are merely players
Performers and portrayers
Each another's audience
Outside the gilded cage
 
A Song to celebrate a New World

Cirque Du Soleil - Allegria

Allegria

Come un lampo di vita

Allegria

Come un pazzo gridar

Allegria

Del delittuoso grido
Bella ruggente pena,
Seren
Come la rabbia di amar

Allegria

Come un assalto di gioia

Allegria

I see a spark of life shining

Allegria

I hear a young minstrel sing

Allegria

Beautiful roaring scream
Of joy and sorrow,
So extreme
There is a love in me raging

Allegria

A joyous,
Magical feeling

***musical bridge***

Allegria

Come un lampo di vita

Allegria

Come un pazzo gridar

Allegria

Del delittuoso grido
Bella ruggente pena,
Seren
Come la rabbia di amar

Allegria

Come un assalto di gioia
Del delittuoso grido
Bella ruggente pena,
Seren
Come la rabbia di amar

Allegria
Come un assalto di gioia

Allegria

Como la luz de la vida

Allegria

Como un payaso que grita

Allegria

Del estupendo grito
De la tristeza loca
Serena
Como la rabia de amar

Allegria

Como un asalto de felicidad
Del estupendo grito
De la tristeza loca
Serena
Como la rabia de amar

Allegria

Como un asalto de felicidad
There is a love in me raging

Allegria

A joyous,
Magical feeling
 
Daneil S- I love that song, and also K-OS as well. He's one of my favorite artist. I wish he would come out with a new album soon :-[

Anyway this is the song I'm listening to currently. It was a song recommended to me by a friend, and even though I don't usually listen to rock- the lyrics of this song really spoke to me.
To me, this song is about losing your soul, which to me is a fate worse than death.


So here it is... I've bolded my favorite lines

_http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yLj7OE7U7s

Sacred Line
Sung by Mary Elizabeth Mcglynn

Is it me?
This time...
Am I too far?

Did I cross...
That line...
Getting hard to tell...

Different day, and another war...
Orders shifts, stumbles down...

Standing strong, with your sacred line...
With your cold, sacred line...

Genocide... Unfolds...
I forgive all...

Ring of thorned...
It shines... I refuse to fall.

Standing still, in this rocky boat...
Chase my mind, takes it's toll...

Something lost...
Is now found again...
I return to my soul...

This line, that can't be broken...
This line, never will be crossed again.

Inside, will be forgiven...
This light, affected by the innocent.

Opposite of what you hear...
Dying is the least of fears...

Can't give up!
We have come to far to ever turn away!
We have fear to swallow!

Can't let go!
Be prepared for any thing...
There's something wrong!

And the worst is yet to come.

This line, that can't be broken...
This line, that never will be crossed again.

Inside, will be forgiven...
This light, affected by the innocent.

This line, that can't be broken...
This line, that never will be crossed again.

Inside, will be forgiven...
This light, affected by the innocent.

Runnin' by another line....
When you cross the sacred line.

Azur, thanks for posting that, with the lyrics. Cirque Du Soleil - Allegria is my all time favorite performance by them.

I've listened to the song by itself, many, many times. I'm about to enjoy it again!
 
Right at the moment I am listening to Alanis Morissette and her song 'Utopia' from her Album 'Under Rug Swept'. I love the intensity of the lyrics and the way she writes down what a lot of people think unbelievably easily and witty. I love them. And I love her voice on this song, because it sounds so vulnerable and emotional.

UTOPIA
we'd gather around all in a room fasten our belts engage in dialogue
we'd all slow down rest without guilt not lie without fear disagree sans judgement

we would stay and respond and expand and include and allow and forgive and
enjoy and evolve and discern and inquire and accept and admit and divulge and
open and reach out and speak up

This is utopia this is my utopia
This is my ideal my end in sight
Utopia this is my utopia
This is my nirvana
My ultimate

we'd open our arms we'd all jump in we'd all coast down into safety nets

we would share and listen and support and welcome be propelled by passion not
invest in outcomes we would breathe and be charmed and amused by difference
be gentle and make room for every emotion

we'd provide forums we'd all speak out we'd all be heard we'd all feel seen

we'd rise post-obstacle more defined more grateful we would heal be humbled
and be unstoppable we'd hold close and let go and know when to do which we'd
release and disarm and stand up and feel safe

this is utopia this is my utopia
this is my ideal my end in sight
utopia this is my utopia
this is my nirvana
my ultimate
 
Just a nice feel-good song.

DOO BE DOO - FRESHLY GROUND

Did you hear the news on the radio today?
People have agreed to give their love away
I can't wait to be there in line!

Politicians have agreed to honour and obey
They’ll come down and listen to what the people say
I can't wait to be there in line, no no!

Children will play in the streets
Loving everyone they meet
Open hearts will be the rhythm of the day

Neighbours will greet each other
Sisters and the brothers
Even enemies will come to be friends

I can't wait to be there in line
If you are ready
Feel free to come around

If you are ready
Vem ca amigo, irei levar-te la
If you are ready...

Say you want to live and grow in kindness every day
Say you know the meaning of love
See every person that you meet

As every you and every me
And then I'll know you feel the rhythm of love!
I can't wait to be there in line, no no!

Isis - In fiction

Through fiction we saw the birth
Of futures yet to come
Yet in fiction lay the bones
Ugly in their nakedness

Yet under this mortal sun
We cannot hide ourselves

_http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWTAkBRe6aI

Isis - Holy tears

He was patient
Slow descent, chills the bones
His wait maybe long
Still he carries on
Always reaching for her
Always breathing for her
Lifting his hand to the sky
Slow change might bring
Holy tears
Upon his battered skull

Holy tears
Holy tears

Her form transformed, from ash to golden throne

(there is one part of the video at around 4:40 that could impress younger audience)

Foo fighter - The best of you

I've got another confession to make
I'm your fool
Everyone's got their chains to break
Holdin' you

Were you born to resist or be abused?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?

Are you gone and onto someone new?
I needed somewhere to hang my head
Without your noose
You gave me something that I didn't have
But had no use
I was too weak to give in
Too strong to lose
My heart is under arrest again
But I break loose
My head is giving me life or death
But I can't choose
I swear I'll never give in
I refuse

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Has someone taken your faith?
Its real, the pain you feel
You trust, you must
Confess
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Oh...

Oh...Oh...Oh...Oh...

Has someone taken your faith?
Its real, the pain you feel
The life, the love
You die to heal
The hope that starts
The broken hearts
You trust, you must
Confess

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?

I've got another confession my friend
I'm no fool
I'm getting tired of starting again
Somewhere new

Were you born to resist or be abused?
I swear I'll never give in
I refuse

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Has someone taken your faith?
Its real, the pain you feel
You trust, you must
Confess
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Oh...

A song from the Irish movie Waking Ned Devine, it is called The Parting Glass by Shaun Davey.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDB87o-njFQ&feature=related

"Forever In Your Debt"
With thanks to those who blew the wind,
And those who sailed the ship,
We sailed it tight against the tide,
And I shall be forever in your debt.

All the money that e'er I had
I spent it in good company
And all the harm I've ever done
Alas, it was to none but me
And all I've done for want of wit
To memory now, I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be to you all!

Fill to me the parting glass
And drink a health whate'er befalls
Then gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all!

Of all the comrades that e'er I had
They're sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that e'er I had
They'd wish me one more day to stay.

Since it fell into my lot
that I should rise,and you should not
I'll gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all!

But since it fell into my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I'll gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all!

So fill to me the parting glass
And drink a health whate'er befalls
Then gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all!

The Earth is a beautiful crucible, when all is said and done....

A Spiral Architect

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qoI6Q2-I_A&feature=related


Sorcerers of madness
Selling deep insight
Child of God sitting in the sun
Giving peace of mind
Fictional seduction
On a black snow sky
Sadness kills the superman
Even fathers cry

Of all the things I value most of all
I look inside myself and see
My world and know that it is good
You know that I should

Superstitious century
Didn't time go slow
Separating sanity
Watching children grow
Synchronated undertaker
Spiral skies
Silver ships on plastic oceans
In disquise

Of all the things I value most in life
I see my memories and feel their warmth
And know that they are good
You know that I should

Watching eyes of celluloid
Tell you how to live
Metaphoric motor-replay
Give, give, give!
Laughter kissing love
Is showing me the way
Spiral city architect
I build, you pay

Of all the things I value most of all
I look upon my earth and feel the warmth
And know that it is good
