Katatonia : Deliberation

_http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-w1ThnxvVI <-- just the song
_http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ow7rqkY-jI <-- song with video

This is one of my favorite songs, by one of my favorite bands. Their lyrics remind me of haiku. So simple, yet full of observation and meaning.

Visions come, visions come, in a sickroom bed
There's something left to learn
Pass them on, let it show
Let the rich meet death
Confront our own concern

See us sleep behind the glass unaware of crime
Will you wake us up before it is time

The red circle holds the only light
Break down my perspective
And notify everyone when the time is right
My mouth remains inactive

See us sleep behind the glass unaware of crime
Will you wake us up before it is time

So when you let me in
You let me justify
My own reward
You put your hands on me
Now I learn the words
I didnt know before

I am ice, I am clear
Let the world be cold
Our deliberation
Pass them on, let it show
Let the words come slow
Your constant incantation

See us sleep behind the glass unaware of crime
Will you wake us up before it is time

So when you let me in
You let me justify
My own reward
You put your hands on me
Now I learn the words
I didnt know before

Repeating cycle of light, no light
There's nothing in the air space
Theres no one in the air space
Repeating cycle
Of love, no love

See us sleep behind the glass unaware of crime
Will you wake us up before it is time

So when you let me in
You let me justify
My own reward
You put your hands on me
Now I learn the words
I didnt know before

Knowledge
In general usage:
1. The state or fact of knowing.
2. Familiarity, awareness, or understanding gained through experience or study.
3. The sum or range of what has been perceived, discovered, or learned.
4. Learning; erudition: teachers of great knowledge.
5. Specific information about something.
6. Carnal knowledge. list end

"Gurdjieff tells us that esoteric knowledge is like a material substance. There is only a certain amount of this substance allotted to the world at each time. If this stuff of knowledge is spread too thin, it does nobody any good. In great condensations, when a large amount is shared between relatively few, knowledge can produce great change and benefit."

In an esoteric context, knowledge as opposed to information means that what is known is known in context and in an applicable form. Knowledge implies having assimilated the information and having made it a part of oneself.

Jennifer Hudson - I'm Changing (DreamGirls)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsERpqjo8C0

Lyrics: :)

Look at me.
Look at me.
I am changing, trying every way I can.
I am changing, I'll be better than I am.
I'm trying to find a way to understand
But I need, I need u, I need a hand.
I am changing, seeing everything so clear.
I am changing, I'm gonna start right now right here.
I'm hoping to work it out, and I know that I can
But I need u, I need a hand.
All of my life, I've been a fool,
Who said I could do it all alone.
How many good friends have I already lost?
And how many dark nights have I known.
Walking down that wrong road,
There was nothing I could find.
All those years of darkness, can make a person blind,
But now I can see, I am changing,
Trying every way I can
I am changing, I'll be better than I am
But I need a friend, to help me start all over again.
Ohhh that would be just fine.
I know it's gonna work out this time.
Cause this time I am, this time I am
I am changing, I'll get my life together now,
I am changing, yes, I know how.
I'm gonna start again, I'm gonna leave, my past behind.
I'll change my life, I make a vow nothings gonna stop, me, now.
 
Singing out loud at this song! :)

Demi Lovato - Skyscraper

(Verse 1)
Skies are crying
I am watching catching teardrops in my hands
Only silence, as it's ending, like we never had a chance
Do you have to make me feel like there's nothing left of me?

(Chorus)
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper

(Verse 2)
As the smoke clears I awaken and untangle you from me
Would it make you feel better to watch me while I bleed?
All my windows still are broken but I'm standing on my feet
(Chorus)
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper

(Bridge)
Go run run run
I'm gonna stay right here
Watch you disappear
Yeah
Go run run run
Yeah it's a long way down but I'm closer to the clouds up here

You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
Ohh
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper

Like a skyscraper

Lovely!

I'm catching up with my Radiohead King of Limbs album at the moment. King Crimson looks like it will be the next thing, Robert Fripp intrigues me.
 
So much great music to listen to. :cool: Thanks everyone.

Last night I accidentally stumbled upon 'L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N' by Noah and the Whale. Kinda pop-y, folk-y and definitely catchy.

''You've got more than money and sense, my friend, you've got HEART and you go in your own way."

Perhaps try some Samuel Barber, Arvo Pärt, Gorecki or Peteris Vasks. They are contemporary.

Thanks for those. I listened to them over a few days. I liked Samuel Barber and Arvo Pärt the most.
 
Dredg - Bug Eyes
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQz_WjTn68U&ob=av2e

Bring back those good ol' days
Nothing feels right
Nothing ever goes my way
I threw my future away
Now I walk alone
Out here in the cold
Wandering astray
Where's my future?
I'm gonna need a home
You'd expect the same, now wouldn't you, wouldn't you?

Your journey back to birth its haunting you it's haunting you
Your departure from the earth, its haunting you, it's haunting you

Only those who accept will find that acceptance in return
We have been trimmed down like hedges,and told just to sit,
And wilt, and spit at each other from a distance
With constant resistance from you
Gonna need a home
You'd expect the same now wouldn't you, wouldn't you?

Your journey back to birth is haunting you, it's haunting you
Your departure from the earth is haunting you, it's haunting you

It's been ten years strong, thats much too long
It's time to do something good for myself
Time to do somethin' good for my health
It's been ten years strong, thats much too long
It's time to do something good for myself
Time to do somethin' good for my health
I've wasted all this time, I've wasted all this time

Your journey back to birth is haunting you, it's haunting you
You departure from the earth is haunting you, it's haunting you

Your journey back to birth is haunting you, it's haunting you
Your departure from the earth is haunting you, it's haunting you

MAX Q (Michael Hutchence) - Way Of The World

http://www.michaelhutchence.org/index.php?page=264


You are born into this world
Looking down the barrel of a gun
And those who hold the gun
Want you to work fast and die young
And if you don't work
If you don't obey
They'll make you live in fear till your dying day
Those who govern hold the gun
To your head
With religions, corporations proud of the blood
They have shed

Whether it's God or the bomb
It's just the same
It's only fear under another name

Whether it's God or the bomb
It's just the same
It's only fear under another name

And the corporate snakes coming in to feed
On that pathetic fact known as human greed
Skin and bone being raked over those hot coals
This dump never seems to give time to human soul

And if all those things that we have learnt
No time for questions you'll just get burnt
(Listen) You'll just get burnt

Whether it's God or the bomb
It's just the same
It's only fear under another name

Whether it's God or the bomb
It's just the same
It's only fear under another name

And those words crush you flat
Like your skulls under a brick
And the fear's so damn strong
That it makes you sick
And you can see right through those eyes
That make you fear, that make you lie

And you're taught to hold high
Yet you wonder why
Dumb values forced upon you by the
Living lie

Whether it's God or the bomb
It's just the same
It's only fear under another name

Whether it's God or the bomb
It's just the same
It's only fear under another name

Whether it's God or the bomb
It's just the same
It's only fear under another name

Whether it's God or the bomb
It's just the same
It's only fear under another name

Whether it's God or the bomb
It's just the same
It's only fear under another name


... good gusto, plus i like viewing the pic of Michael on the webpage
i cannot help thinking that the song played a role in pre-empting the singers demise at the hands of ptb goons
 
David Gray

"Birds Without Wings"

Wishing that something would happen
A change in this place,
'cos I'm tearing off the fancy wrapping
Find an empty package

Take for a while
Your trumpet from your lip
Loosen your hold, loosen your grip
On your old ways
That have fallen out of step
In a changing time
Hoist a new flag
Hoist a new flag

Angry sun burn down
Judging us all
Guilty of neglect and disrespect
And thinking small

And death by boredom
And death by greed
If we can't stop taking
More than we need

But across the fractured landscape
I find the same things
Tired ideas
Birds without wings

Birds without wings
Birds without wings

And these are just thoughts
On lack-lustre times
I've no interest
In excuses you can find

Like you've had a hard day
Now you've too tired to care
Now you're too tired to care
You've had a hard day

Well across the fractured landscape
I see the same things
Tired ideas broken values
Many with the notion
That to share is to lose
A hollow people bound by a lack
Of imagination and too much looking back Without the courage
To give a new thing a chance
Grounded by this ignorance

(and the cat comes)
We're just,

Birds without wings
Birds without wings
Birds without wings
