What are you listening to?

For those that like progressive rock, with a really languid and almost drone/meditative quality, i recommend Jesu - Every Day I Get Closer To The Light From Which I Came. One of those cases, went because of the title, stayed for the music.
 

If the sun vaporized one day
And the moon just faded away
Would we still, keep going on
At this pit of the mining pace.
Should the birds fall to the ground
And the fish die of thirst
Would we still keep on living
The way it's always been.
Now if the air could burn my lungs
And the earth were only rocks
Would it make us stop and realize
That we rot, that we can't go on like this.
Devil, oh, devil.
Why don't you tell me why
I'm a slave in these desperate times.
In this time that we could almost choose
The color of our children's eyes.
Can we still, keep going on living
When the monster turns on us
Before the sun doesn't rise one day, huh
And the moon just dies away.
There is one thing (what?)
One thing what, uh
That we'll never change
Is that we're only learning to survive.
Devil, oh, devil.
Why don't you tell me why
I'm a slave in these desperate times.

Grateful Dead’s Touch Of Grey (live at Orchard Park, NY 1989).


It must be getting early, clocks are running late
Paint-by-number morning sky looks so phony
Dawn is breaking everywhere, light a candle, curse the glare
Draw the curtains, I don't care 'cause it's alright
I will get by
I will get by
I will get by
I will survive
I see you've got your list out, say your piece and get out
Guess I get the gist of it, but it's alright
Sorry that you feel that way, the only thing there is to say
Every silver lining's got a touch of grey
I will get by
I will get by
I will get by
I will survive
It's a lesson to me
The Ables and the Bakers and the C's
The ABC's we all must face
Try to keep a little grace
It's a lesson to me
The Deltas and the East and the Freeze
The ABC's we all think of
And try to wean a little love
I know the rent is in arrears, the dog has not been fed in years
It's even worse than it appears, but it's alright
Cow is giving kerosene, kid can't read at seventeen
The words he knows are all obscene, but it's alright
I will get by
I will get by
I will get by
I will survive
The shoe is on the hand it fits, there's really nothing much to it
Whistle through your teeth and spit 'cause it's alright
Oh well, a touch of grey kinda suits you anyway
And that was all I had to say and it's alright
I will get by
I will get by
I will get by
I will survive
We will get by
We will get by
We will get by
We will survive
We will get by
We will get by
We will get by
