A long-time fav PJ Harvey is out with a new wonderful album - Let England Shake. She`s telling it like it is.


_http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2Qlb0qFLFE
The West's asleep. Let England shake,
weighted down with silent dead.
I fear our blood won't rise again.

England's dancing days are done.
Another day, Bobby, for you to come home
& tell me indifference won.

Smile, smile Bobby, with your lovely mouth.
Pack up your troubles, let's head out
to the fountain of death

splash about, swim back and forth
laugh out loud,

until the day is ending,
the birds are silent in the branches,
the insects are courting in the bushes,
by the shores of lovely lakes
heavy stones are falling

Jonsi - Go Do

Go sing too loud
Make your voice break - Sing it out
Go scream do shout
Make an earthquake...

You wish fire would die and turn colder
You wish your love could see you grow older
We should always know that we can do anything

Go drum do go out
Make your hands ache - Play it out
Go march through crowds
Make your day break...

You wish silence released noise in tremors
You wish I know it surrender to summers
We should always know that we can do everything

Go do you´ll know how to
Just let yourself fall into landslide

Go do you´ll know how to
Just let yourself give into low tide

Go do!

Tie strings to clouds
Make your own lake - Let it flow
Throw seeds to sprout
Make your own break - Let them grow

Let them grow (Endless summers)
Let them grow (Endless summers)

(Go do endless summers)

You will survive we´ll never stop wonders
You and sunrise will never fall under

You will survive we´ll never stop wonders
You and sunrise will never fall under
We should always know that we can do anything

Go do!

Al Stewart

The year of the cat.


on a morning from a bogart movie.

in a country where they turn back time

you go stralling through the crowd

like peter lorre contemplating a crime

she comes out of the sun in a silk dress

running like a watercolor in the rain

don't bother asking for explanation

she'll just tell you that she came

in the year of the cat.

she doesn't give you time for questions
as she locks up your arm in hers
and you follow 'till your sense of which direction completely dissapear

by the blue tiled walls near the market stalls

there's a hidden door she leads you to
these days, she says, I feel my life just like a river running through

the year of the cat.
she looks at you so coolley

and her eyes shine like the moon

in the sea she comes in incense and patchoule

so you take her to find what's waiting inside

the year of the cat.

one morning comes and you're still with her

and the bus and the tourists are gone

and you've thrown away your choise and lost your ticket

so you have to stay on

but the drumbeat strains of the night remain

in the rythm of the new born day

you know sometimes you're bounds to leave her

but for now you're going to stay

in the year of the cat

the year of the cat.

Catch 22

Novel by Joseph Heller published in 1961 in the United States and 1964 in France, Catch-22 tells the story of a squadron of aviators based on the small island Italian to Pianosa during the Second World War .

Cult book pacifists opposed the Vietnam War , Catch 22 is a ferocious satire of the military hierarchy and the Second World War and tells the epic burlesque of Captain Yossarian, a navigator-bomber B-25 bomber , tragi-comic hero, who tries at all costs to save his skin by simulating insanity in a world that has lost reason. But Article 22 of Regulation within the base provides that "Whoever wants to avoid going to the fire is not really crazy. .

Drawing on his experience, Joseph Heller portrayed through a gallery of wacky characters and a percussive style and caustic confused and absurd universe where the war between Americans and Germans less than Americans among them. The success of this novel was such that its title has entered the common language English and now refers to a lose-lose situation, or, by extension, a situation Kafkaesque

A word of caution, there are a graphic scenes.

"Sunlounger feat. Zara - Lost (Chill) [HQ]"

_http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buQclf6SymA&feature=related

Forget the peace inside
You’ve given way to the gods of destruction
Full of desire
You feel afraid that there’s nothing left

Oh oh, oh no
Oh oh, oh no

The ocean is dry
Do you feel hollow?
Nowhere to hide
And nothing to swallow

And when you can’t recognize
Anything solid
Where do you turn?
When you can’t buy it?

What can you believe in now
With no love to follow?
Now that you have lost yourself
Oh, can anything help you now?

Just let your fears go
You might find your way back home
Let your fears go
You might find that you’re not lost

Just let your fears go
You might find your way back home
Let your fears go
You might find that you’re not lost

What did you learn?
What was it worth?
What did you yearn for?
Everything’s lost now

And not alone and not alone
And not alone and not alone
And not alone and not alone
And not alone and not alone

Just let your fears go
You might find your way back home
Let your fears go
You might find that you’re not lost

Just let your fears go
You might find your way back home
Let your fears go
You might find that you’re not lost
 
I found on you Tube an old song of Donovan : Catch the Wind .The melody and the text are beautiful

In the chilly hours and minutes
Of uncertainty, I want to be,
In the warm hold of your loving mind.

To feel you all around me,
And to take your hand, along the sand,
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind.

When sundown pales the sky,
I wanna hide a while, behind your smile,
And everywhere I'd look, your eyes I'd find.

For me to love you now,
Would be the sweetest thing, 'twould make me sing,
Ah, but I may as well, try and catch the wind.

When rain has hung the leaves with tears,
I want you near, to kill my fears
To help me to leave all my blues behind.

For standin' in your heart,
Is where I want to be, and I long to be,
Ah, but I may as well, try and catch the wind.

Nice Donovan tune, fille des bois, by coincidence I just listened to it yesterday after not hearing it for a while.

Also listening to:

Cold Days of February
by Robin Williamson (Incredible String Band)

As I beside some winter's fire
Sat writing words strange and steady
Amongst my own internal choir
Came voices to my mind unready
Of those who died on either side
While friends cry o're their bones unburied
Go sighing through the north east winds
These cold days of February

Some clerk with papers and his pen
Some banker with his poison pity
Some captain careless of his men
These fan the flames that maim the cities
And bigots in the name of Christ
By thorny paths obscure and muddy
Can fear to roam through years of cold
Bewailing how their hands are bloody

Whether they were from here or there
Their race and place I would not be heeding
The men who caused such bitterness
If hearts they have let their hearts be bleeding
Who neither for age nor the young child
Would turn the shot of the arms they carried
Go bear the guilt a weary ways
For the cold days of February
