Animal Collective - Lion in a coma

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_42Sighttk


When all this mess will get me down I will depart from Chinatown
Weaving in and out of line, the sidewalk's full of merchandise
My nervous tick has got to quit, my cheeks are chewed down to the bit
Up on the roof they're still around the hustling crowds still reach down
I go up there and light a leaf and wish our turn was not so brief
I'm paler than a summer blouse that's packed inside a haunted house
I pack my bags and feel the family here is cropped by many hands
That dig and plant me for the spring, come dig me out my lucid brain

this wilderness up in my head,
this rhythm that's up in my head,
this rhythm it needs to get right out of my clothes and get into my bedroom.

Is there no reason it can't be the way it was, music and me?
My three best friends so casually just letting go so joyfully
But if I let my wrist get tired, but if I let my spirit cry out
There'll always be that fear of dying or is it just trying to divide?
It makes me think my dearest things are not what they're supposed to be
I trick myself when it is hard, I've got to keep up, oh my god
And hope that I will not be wrong and keep my faith inside a song
And we'll make up 'morrow, which reminds me not to leave them back inside

this rhythm that's up in my head,
this wilderness up in my head,
this rhythm it needs to get right out of my clothes and get into my bedroom.

lion in a coma, lion in a coma
lion in a coma, lion in a coma

sometimes the sun will shine, yes I am just doin fine.
sometimes i'm not aware where I am or what I care
sometimes i'm well-to-do but I don't know what to do
sometimes I don't agree with my thoughts on being free

please don't leave me
things that feel good,
I've been lucky
trying to feel good

sometimes the sun will shine, yes I am just doin' fine.
sometimes i'm not aware where I am or what i care
sometimes i'm well-to-do but I don't know what to do
sometimes i don't agree with my thoughts on being free.

please don't leave me
things that feel good,
I've been lucky
trying to feel good

lion in a coma, lion in a coma
who wants to smell the fine aroma,
lion in a coma, lion in a coma
who wants to run but cannot roam
a lion in a coma, lion in a coma
who wants to use his aching bones
a lion in a coma, lion in a coma
don't keep a lion in a coma

lion in a coma, lion in a coma
who wants to smell the fine aroma,
lion in a coma, lion in a coma
who wants to use his aching bones
a lion in a coma, lion in a coma
who wants to run but cannot roam
a lion in a coma, lion in a coma
don't keep a lion in a coma
 
Soft kill - Death in the family
_http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdvt8kZhQDA


I see myself in a valley
Losing sight of the ocean
No grasp at the progress
I need to get by

Like a death in the family
Lose a piece to the void
Regain trust slowly
I carry you wherever I go

See The Women
by John Trudell

She has a young face
An old face
She carries herself well
In all ages
She survives all man has done

In some tribes she is free
In some religions
She is under man
In some societies
She’s worth what she consumes

In some nations
She is delicate strength
In some states
She is told she is weak
In some classes
She is property owned

In all instances
She is sister to earth
In all conditions
She is life bringer
In all life she is our necessity

See the woman eyes
Flowers swaying
On scattered hills
Sundancing calling in the bees

See the woman heart
Lavender butterflies
Fronting blue sky
Misty rain falling
On soft wild roses

See the woman beauty
Lightning streaking
Dark summer nights
Forests of pines mating
With new winter snow

See the woman spirit
Daily serving courage
With laughter
Her breath a dream
And a prayer
 
To Build A Home - Cinematic Orchestra

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjjc59FgUpg#start=0:00;end=5:35;autoreplay=true;showoptions=false

There is a house built out of stone
Wooden floors, walls and window sills
Tables and chairs worn by all of the dust
This is a place where I don't feel alone
This is a place where I call my home

And, I built a home
for you
for me

Until it disappeared
from me
from you

And now, it's time to leave and turn to dust...

Out in the garden where we planted the seeds
There is a tree as old as me
Branches were sewn by the color of green
Ground had arose and passed it's knees

By the cracks of the skin I climbed to the top
I climbed the tree to see the world
When the gusts came around to blow me down
I held on as tightly as you held onto me
I held on as tightly as you held onto me...

And, I built a home
for you
for me

Until it disappeared
from you
from me

And now, it's time to leave and turn to dust...
 
SIX FEET UNDER


Amerika The Brutal



I'd rather died than to live in this fu**ed world
Mr. President I'm not here to do your dirty work
Alone, I think I'm fighting a losing battle
Worth dying not for oil
NO WAR Amerika the brutal
Listen it's a f**king joke and they make you believe it on the TV
That's how they deceive you-
I watch and I listen and I question their reasons
You know what, I don't fuckin believe em
NO WAR Amerika the brutal
When I want to know the future I look into the past
I think of my best friend and his stories of Vietnam
And now I got a cousin fighting in Iraq, and I want her coming back
I'm not afraid to speak my own mind
I don't use the first amendment to hide behind
I'm guaranteed that freedom, I'm born with that right
And for that I'm ready to fight
I'd rather die than to live in this fucked world
Fake president, I'm not here to do your dirty work
Alone I think I'm fighting this losing battle- worth dying?
NO WAR Amerika the brutal
 
Oh yes, definitely Zaz! :D
When I become too tired from STS brainwashing, which has become openly aggressive in the last few days. Almost like I woke up in a different world after a period of headaches, drowsiness and fatigue.
Her music... her voice... she's comfort to me. :halo: :-[
And... her song "Trop sensible" -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q77aTlWHKeU
I don't understand French. So, I looked for the translation.
Here is the English translation that I found. So, what do you think?

Too Sensitive

Refrain

You're too sensitive, it's true
The others don't see who you are,
Too sensitive, I know
It almost killed me too.

You worry, you panic, you're in crisis,
when you http://lyricstranslate.com get too emotional
without being able to explain right away
It's too strong, it would be scary.
Alone in your world,
You sing to the stars and cuddle the earth
You feel our mother rumbling, exhausted,
but unable to keep quiet anymore.
You feel the sufferance like a bomb,
the tick tock muted,
The powerful ones who not only lead us to the grave
but make fun of our lot too,
I would like to tell you that this weak world
will end by waking up
But I'm scared it's only holding on by a string
but don't worry,
you'll be saved.

Refrain

With your little angel face,
You make our colorful masks black
All these people who believe you're innocent,
but you, you travel in obscurity.
With your little angel face
you just let them believe
that in your head, there are flowers,
smiles, butterflies,
and vanilla sugar.

I feel your pain,
I see it, I hear it
To be furious and disappointed is normal,
but it's not the only way.
It's up to you to express your beauty,
to light up your eyes,
If nothing shines around you,
it's up to you to be strong and believe it for them.

In this world swarming with ghosts,
they'll try to trip you up.
Look for that light inside of you,
in the heart of an angel-
Man is much more beautiful
than he appears to be.
Don't let ignorance fool you
Don't believe their lies.
They give you what they can,
what they have-
There is much more in you
than what they have instilled.

Refrain
 
Excuse me, I wanted to quote:

Friends recommended to me: Strange boat by Waterboys, and this song really hit me right in the heart, beautiful song :)

Strange boat Lyrics

We're sailing in a strange boat
heading for a strange shore
We're sailing in a strange boat
heading for a strange shore
Carrying the strangest cargo
that was ever hauled aboard

We're sailing on a strange sea
blown by a strange wind
We're sailing on a strange sea
blown by a strange wind
Carrying the strangest crew
that ever sinned

We're riding in a strange car
we're followin' a strange star
We're climbing on the strangest ladder
that was ever there to climb

We're living in a strange time
working for a strange goal
We're living in a strange time
working for a strange goal
We're turning flesh and body
into soul

:thup:

Pendulum 'Witchcraft'

Pendulum has a lot of good songs on that CD. I haven't listened to it in a while because of what was said about listening to music in the transcripts. They are quite popular and have a lot of electronic sounds in their songs.

I've been trying to listen to classical music, but I can't even force myself to like it, maybe like 10% of the songs I like. So I'm listening to international stuff and am currently hooked on Chinese music.

I was listening to a song called "Eternity" by Nanjing Dynasty Orchestra when I saw this thread, and I was like, "I'm in heaven" :P. There's no youtube video of it, but here's the site that I heard it on.

I think it's just a matter of finding pieces that resonates with you for the moment.
I listen to a lot of classical music on the radio and I don't enjoy all of the pieces either, I don't think that the whole of classical music is all good anyway, but sometimes there is one piece that demands all my attention.
For what it's worth maybe you'd enjoy more cinematic pieces but I don't know much about classical music or the names of such composers, only Stravinsky comes to mind.
Perhaps try some Samuel Barber, Arvo Pärt, Gorecki or Peteris Vasks. They are contemporary.

My two cents.
