What are you listening to?

This came up on FB today -
On this day in 1975, Pink Floyd released their album Wish You Were Here in the UK. The album, through the music and the album artwork, explores themes of absence, the music business, and former band-mate Syd Barrett.
Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" Live.


So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell, blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

Did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
Did you exchange
A walk-on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.
 

I want to make the biggest mistake in the world and sail from Miami to Havana in a kayak. I want to have a cup of coffee looking at the Mediterranean and wake up in Tulum chasing a star. I want to tell Jesus that if he's

there, he should show up and that they cut off my light to light a candle and dream. I want to give a flower to the love of my wound. I want to start again and change my name. I want to stone the hallway of lost causes and see daddy come out convincing my mother. I want to hear you say what your eyes scream. I want to lose the courage I gained by being afraid. And I want to run around while I climb a kite And lift up the skirt of the fat girl in the neighborhood. I want to live without a script or the same recipe. I want to invent another letter to the alphabet. I want to forget about you. I want to know that it's for me. That I want and I can't want as long as I keep on wanting. It's useless to believe that wanting is to be able to forget you. I want to find another love and lose it right away, To forget you for the rest of my life. I want to whistle "Let it be" in the moonlight. I want to wash in the sea what is not future. And I want to run around while climbing a kite and lift the skirt of the fat girl in the neighborhood. I want to live without a script or the same recipe. I want to invent another letter to the alphabet. I want to forget about you. I want to know it's for me. I want to play alchemy and search in Tibet for some answer. I want to escape from me, to be neither from here nor from anywhere. To lose myself in anthropology, to dedicate my life to philanthropy in order to forget you, in order to erase you. And I want to run around while climbing a kite. And lift up the skirt of the fat lady in the neighborhood. I want to stand up in Iraq and send a greeting To the mother of the world's biggest idiot. I want to forget about you I want to know it's for me. I want to give a flower to the love of my wound.
 
Just heard this.. New World by Prince, 1996


New world [x4]
When the sharpest vibration
Saves U from obliteration
The intelligence of your bed reacts
Covering U head 2 toe with an air-filled sack

When the lines blur every boy and girl
How we gonna make it in this brave new world?
Love 4 one another - New world
Love 4 one another - New world

When U wanna find some isolation
But the tracker U got from vaccination (Keeps playin')
Keeps playin' - "U'll never walk alone" (Over and over)
They're always listening, especially on the phone

When the lines blur every boy and girl
How we gonna make it in this brave new world?
Love 4 one another - New world
Love 4 one another - New world

Wait a minute
New world

Did U hear about the new pill? It feels like sex!
Guaranteed 2 thrill with no ill side-effects
A pill that will stop the wrinkles, a pill that will stop the pain
A pill that will make a baby never seek political gain
What's it all 4 when U can alter biology?
Who or what, then my friend, will U and I be? [x2]

When the sharpest vibration
Saves U from obliteration
When the melting pot stirs, how U gonna take it?
When U can't tell him from her, how U gonna fake it?

When the lines blur every boy and girl
How U gonna make it in this brave new world?
Love 4 one another - New world
Love 4 one another (How U gonna take it?)
(How U gonna fake it?)
Love 4 one another (How U gonna take it?)
(New world) New world

New world
 
I find Devin Townsend one of the most extensive artists on a musical and literary level. I share with you this topic that, personally, gives a sense of hope. ideal to start the day :-)

lyrics: As we're born to ride alone
Never to return
Cry unfair if you want
So we grow in the ways we were, ...
To the way we are
Fallout.
You're on your own
You're all, you're always home
And we fall now.
As we live to right the wrongs
Never to return, then the truth hits you hard.
So we've grown from the ways we were, to the ways we are
Fallout. You're on your own
You're all, you're always home
And we fall now.
If you could say, anything you wanted...
What would you say?
I'd tell you all:
We are young, at the end of this cycle.
And there may be no rest even when we are done.
That's when you're feeling empowered
You'll trade your fear in for power
If we knew what came tomorrow
There'd be no time for the sorrow.
Throttle!
As we're born to ride alone, never to return
Cry unfair if you want
So you've grown in the ways we were ...
To the way we are
Fallout.
You're on your own
You're all, you're always home
And we fall now.
If you could say anything you wanted...what would you say?

 
yeah I don't mind a bit of Dev, he's an enigma for sure..

my fav track of his

So they say, you'll be OK
But words are not enough
Nobody remembered me
The words were not enough

Calm yourself down
Don't you remember when we were young?
Don't you remember who I am?
We're strong enough!

Dues to pay
Towards the way
Towards my friend, towards
Two must play
The foolish game
To war my friend to war!

So they rise: The fear and pain, but this isn't how I am
Don't you forget that you are loved!
Don't you forget that you are them,
It's hard enough

Remember the flame in your heart burns strong
Remember and the spirit will collide

Remember! Together!

Remember in the end that death is not the end

So we rise!
Receive the pain, but this isn't where this ends
Don't you forget that you are perfect
Don't you forget just who we are
We're strong enough!

Wherever the flame in your heart burns strong,
We may not be brave so let's start
Remember and the spirits will collide!

Remember! Together!
Remember! Together!
Remember! Together!
Remember! Together!
 
And then, they have this amazing way to try to awake some people, he use a "ironic" way an direct to say things.....i think, this guy see the forum :-P
He make a story through him music, is about a 4 "dimension" beign who comes to the earth finding the best coffe (energy?) and go to starbucks. Maybe the music not like to all, but for what i feel, depending the emotionality in lyrics he amplified that feeling doing a song more heavy. And i love that when one hear a full album of this guy.

People of earth!
We are your poozonian overlords!
You cannot run
Resistance is futile!
Hand over your coffee!
And all I'll need to see is all you knell and cry
You stand before them now, and now's the you die
Threw away your number!
Threw away your name
Half a word of warning you're conforming all the same!
And now I see you running for your fetid lives
You've been the ones before and now you stand behind!
Half of you are eating
Half of you abstain!
Tear away your motive throw your goddess on the flame!
Half of you are evil
Half of you divine!
So now submit to us and all of you in line
Don't reach out, no refunds everybody takes!
Show me your own resource, intergalactic shake!
No returns, no answers, everybody pays!
Show me your own resource, intergalactic deathray!
Poozers take aim and fire!
All for their queens desire!
Hallowed be thy number
Guaranteed we die!
Everyone if fearing it but no one wants to say
Half the world is sleeping
The other half's away
Welcome to the show, my friends
Taste of her deathray!
Don't reach out, no refunds everybody takes!
Show me your own resource, intergalactic shake!
No returns, no answers, everybody pays!
Show me your own resource, intergalactic deathray!
Yea, humans do you feel the groove?
Infinite void of infinite parallels, into your mind!
No returns, no answers, everybody pays!
Show me your own resource, intergalactic deathray!

Gregorian - Moment of Peace Extended​


Came across this song while at work today. Got home and played it in the background while working out for about 20 minutes (the extended track is about 19 minutes) :lol:
In a moment of peace
Come now, come by our side
Fireplace where you can hide
We are the sunshine
Rest your soul here and you'll find
We are the energy
We give the world to thee
Hold up your heart now
We will ease pain from your brow
In a world without dangers
When destruction is near
You can come with us here
When the people are strangers
You will rest here with me
In a moment of peace
In a world without dangers
When destruction is near
You can come with us here
When the people are strangers
You will rest here with me
In a moment of peace
Light up the dark below
See through the stars
Reach to the earth's flow
Drift into the joy of our hearts
Unleash the energy
Taste of the wine
Drink as a soul that
Knows now the power divine
In a world without dangers
When destruction is near
You can come with us here
When the people are strangers
You will rest here with me
In a moment of peace
In a world without dangers
When destruction is near
You can come with us here
When the people are strangers
You will rest here with me
In a moment of peace
In a moment of peace

This is good too, especially the first track:
