[Possibility of Being]

20 years ago to a day, two explosions in the Russian nuclear submarine Kursk resulted in the sinking of the vessel in the Barents Sea. All 118 crew died, most of them directly in the explosions, but 23 were locked for several long hours in sealed compartments.

In memory of the sailors.

The Kursk
It's cold I'm afraid
It's been like this for a day
The water is rising and slowly we're dying
We won't see a light again
We won't see our wives again

This is Dancers by Warp Records veterans Plaid. They are Bjork's favourite band apparently, and they make very ornate, counterpoint-laden electronica. All the music they make is done on software on a computer, absolutely no actual synthesizers. I've been an avid follower of their music since the mid-90's, they always seem to sound about a decade ahead of their time.

This is another track by Plaid, called Eyen. I love this piece. Long may they continue to innovate with software, one of the UK's best cult bands.

One last Plaid track I'm enjoying now, called New Family. The way this builds up to a euphoric crescendo is a thing of wonder.

Being one of those grains of sand
I get blown all around the world
And what I make of it
Oh I don't know
What's the meaning of it
Oh I don't know ....

Hi solarmind, it's really funny i came across this memory of my grandfather:
"Let your pain growing
watch your pain growing
accept your pain
like a future seed of a beautiful flower".

 

[Bluegazer]

Today is:

The useless me is falling apart
The heart is covered with wounds, hidden tears are stinging
Everyone is like that in the beginning
But you can't give up, make sure you come along

I can't have any self-confidence at all
My heart starts beating and I can't be relied on
I close my eyes as if praying FIRE (FIRE) FIRE (FIRE)
Now my life will burn brightly!

*Without stopping love, I will continue to run
Until the light I embrace in my heart starts to shine
RIDE ON (RIDE ON) RIDE ON (RIDE ON) RIDE ON (RIDE ON)
RIDE ON (RIDE ON) RIDE ON (RIDE ON) RIDE ON (RIDE ON)

Because the dream I see is too far
I breathe a sigh, but I won't lose, I'll do my best
I don't need a dream that's good enough
That I can catch easily, without any effort. Isn't that right?

The earnest feelings will surely come true
Believe in yourself, to the end of the universe
The endless journey that begins now HIGHER (HIGHER) HIGHER (HIGHER)
Now aim for the top

*repeat x3
