Here's an interesting track. A novelty. A spirit medium's retelling of a session when he came into contact with a disembodied, former African voodoo priestess, whom he tried to console, set her psyche at ease, and help cross over to the other side ... a brief narrative set to synth. Artist: Tim Clement. Album: Waterstation (1990). Track 5: “Beautiful Lady.” | ||

Do you long for a time when romance, instead of utilitarianism, filled the Earth? Me, I'm a romantic at heart. My idea of courting a lady (note: neither “girl” nor “woman”) would be at repose, reclining on a picnic blanket, out in the middle of a warm summery butterflied meadow, reciting poetry and delicately popping strawberries into her mouth, extracting the stems with kisses. Later, I'd help mount the princess atop her beautiful white stallion and lead her through the forest by the reins. At night we'd attend an oceanside ball and gracefully dance the evening away 'neath the moon. I'd drink champagne from her slipper and run my slender fingers through her tresses. An amorous fairyland of ours that knows not of work, stress, or unpolished behavior. If you'd like to share this dream of mine then you must give the group Amazing Blondel a listen. Their minstrel music, although composed a mere decades ago, takes us back in time when the female was feminine, not mannish, and chivalry was very much alive. My kind of world! The lyrical “Pavan” and “Spring Season” are transportingly idyllic; the transitional epic “Fantasia Lindum” numinously cathedral; with the song “To Ye” being my favorite of all, my choice of serenade, beneath her castle window, nosegay in hand, on bended knee. | ||

Normally communal vocals aren't my cup of tea. Take the hootenanny, for example, the audience members so engrossed in the performance that they don't even realize that their heads are moving in pendulumesque lateral obedience as they clap along in rhythm to the beat. The nautical gung-ho chantey and the chain-gang parroted call-and-answer – instances of permissible whistling while one labors. Jingles – commercialized glees deserving of laryngitis. Then you have religious service anthems that promote ethnocentrism, often borrowing unchristian language such as “Forward, Christian soldiers!,” a reprehensible statement not to mention an oxymoron. Worst of all, the martial song and the patriotic flag-hailing musical act of nationalistic allegiance. Though every once in a while the adventurous musicologist chances upon a singular extraordinary exception. Recommended listening is the glorious, uplifting spiritual hymn “Raise Your Voices,” off Secret Garden's 2005 Earthsongs release. This track is so internally stirring and heaven-bound it'll likely give you goose-acne, it's so moving. The harmonization in this song is beautiful. Oh, I just thought of one more exemption ... the Gregorian chant! Love these. One in particular helped me through some very dark times, when it had seemed the world was caving in on me back in my early twenties. “And when it seems you're in a dead-end street, there's no reason to cry / For we have a helping hand, that's always by our side.” Thank-you always, “Prism Of Life” by Enigma. ... Victoria: I read your profile. One thing you and I share in common is our experiences with living in a non-understanding familial environment when it comes to what we've been through. In my case, it has only made me more independent. And for that, I have nothing but gratitude. | ||

God Is Alive Magic Is Afoot Buffy Sainte-Marie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhmeroR20lc Usually I prefer songs w/more of a more rhythmic feel but the words (particularly in light of some of the time and reality discussions going on at the Board in recent times) and the haunting performance (I actually have a difference performance but this one is "prettier") of this unique song have made it a must for my playlist lately. Its repetitive structure make it a good candidate for meditation (imo). "God Is Alive, Magic Is Afoot" Song: Buffy Sainte-Marie Video by gewajega@yahoo.com Lyrics by Leonard Cohen God is alive; Magic is afoot God is alive; Magic is afoot God is afoot; Magic is alive Alive is afoot..... Magic never died. God never sickened; many poor men lied many sick men lied Magic never weakened Magic never hid Magic always ruled God is afoot God never died. God was ruler though his funeral lengthened Though his mourners thickened Magic never fled Though his shrouds were hoisted the naked God did live Though his words were twisted the naked Magic thrived Though his death was published round and round the world the heart did not believe Many hurt men wondered many struck men bled Magic never faltered Magic always led. Many stones were rolled but God would not lie down Many wild men lied many fat men listened Though they offered stones Magic still was fed Though they locked their coffers God was always served. Magic is afoot. God rules. Alive is afoot. Alive is in command. Many weak men hungered Many strong men thrived Though they boasted solitude God was at their side Nor the dreamer in his cell nor the captain on the hill Magic is alive Though his death was pardoned round and round the world the heart did not believe. Though laws were carved in marble they could not shelter men Though altars built in parliaments they could not order men Police arrested Magic and Magic went with them, for Magic loves the hungry. But Magic would not tarry it moves from arm to arm it would not stay with them Magic is afoot it cannot come to harm it rests in an empty palm it spawns in an empty mind but Magic is no instrument Magic is the end. Many men drove Magic but Magic stayed behind Many strong men lied they only passed through Magic and out the other side Many weak men lied they came to God in secret and though they left him nourished they would not say who healed Though mountains danced before them they said that God was dead Though his shrouds were hoisted the naked God did live This I mean to whisper to my mind This I mean to laugh with in my mind This I mean my mind to serve 'til service is but Magic moving through the world and mind itself is Magic coursing through the flesh and flesh itself is Magic dancing on a clock and time itself the magic length of God We are the ones we've been waiting for. Hopi Elders 2001. to be a rock and still to roll . . . | ||

Aldous Huxley, author of one of my favorite novels, Brave New World, once said of the aural art: “After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.” Words rarely do justice in capturing the feelings which certain songs conjure up in one. With that said, in periodic instalments I'd like to go about sharing some of my most cherished and often-played songs (not necessarily by favorite artists) with other music-lovers on this forum, and how each of these hold a special place in my heart and imaginary spot in my overactive mind. “Celebration” Chubby-cheeked Medwyn Goodall's talent is on display with this number. This contemporary multi-instrumentalist (adept at playing 18 varieties) has released countless albums, many of which are thematic in nature. (The prolific Goodall churned out over 20 CDs in the span of two years alone!) Some of these albums evoke the Celtic legend of King Arthur, others Native American culture, and even the myth of Atlantis has been a theme for his music. “Celebration” is found off the mediocre album, Medicine Woman 2, and it is a joyous, cheery, breezy song containing Spanish Guitar, and Bamboo Flute – his signature sound – at the forefront. Between the noticeable bass line and catchy rhythm, you'll be maturely cavorting around your house or apartment in no time flat, and when that fluty bamboo chimes in, why – rejuvenation sets in!, taking your mind back to a pleasant childhood memory of your choice. (Mine: Frolicking as a child without a care in the world.) Running time: 6:43. “The Gift” (Single Version) Found as the last track off Medwyn Goodall's Medicine Woman 2, the artist's choice of guitar sound sends the mind, at least mine, to the beach; with the sun on your face, and the guitar-notes (especially near the end) lifting us upwards into the warm, embracing radiance. Running time: 3:33. “So Step Off” Stressed? Overwhelmed? Feeling uptight? On the verge of maybe even exploding? Desperately in need of some loosening up? Then climb the steps to this magical, allaying stage, and let it slide, do your little subtle funky dance, like Charles Durning did in O Brother, Where Art Thou?; limber them legs, smoothly walk-dance 'cross the floor, shed your suit-jacket if you want, kick off your heels, lose the hair-pin, glide your feet, do a twirl if you like, get down and groovy, but please exit the stage feeling entirely different than how you ascended it. That's a kind order, my brothas and sistas, brought to you by Mouth Music, off their 1993 Mo-Di album. (“So Step Off” is as smooth as fine wine.) Running time: 5:16. (I’m not a huge fan of Mouth Music, but two other songs I like of theirs are “Move On” and “Time,” off the 1995 Shorelife album.) | ||

“Insight” I've come a long ways from listening to bad & dry melancholic recordings, when as your stereotypical internally unwhole teen I sought music that identified with my own inner maelstrom. In my collection at that time was The Cure's wrist-slitting-inducing 1989 Disintegration, one of the most depressing LPs I've ever owned. Depeche Mode was another one of my favorite bands growing up. (Blasphemous rumors, anyone?) Yes, they're equally downbeat. Yes, I styled my hair after Martin Gore and thought him attractive. No, I don't care much for them anymore. Though a handful of songs remain the exception. “Insight,” off their 1997 Ultra release is one of these. Oddly for them, it contains positive consciousness lyrics. Taste it, and you'll find it good & juicy. I guarantee you. You may even find yourself joining in with the song's concluding mantra. Or, then, maybe not. It's one of the hardest ones for people to follow, it seems. Running time: 5:08. “Mama Dit” Recall Bobby McFerrin's felicific “Don't Worry, Be Happy”? It got overdone air-play during its release and there are reports that some are so sick of hearing it they're checking out like the suttee. Here's a song teeming, overlapping with “mouth music.” This is a capella harmony at its most playful. I play it whenever I'm doing sit-ups, as its quite peppy. Zap Mama is a group fronted by Marie Daulne who, unlike Howie Mandel in the movie Walk Like A Man, who was raised by wolves, was instead raised by African pygmies, which you can hear singing on this track, sounding much like Alvin & the Chipmunks. “Mama Dit” is located off Sabsylma (1994). The album also features the downright funky Mr. Brown (you'll be gettin' down in no time), the Middle-Eastern-evoking “India,” (this song's a blast, containing da-da-dings and capped by a whinny) and the title cut, “Furahi,” which reminds us about the POWER OF POSITIVE THINKING. Granted, their music is not for everyone's tastes. Some might regard it quite inaccessible. But no one can ever accuse Zap Mama for being depressing, that's for sure. Running time: 5:51. “Music For The Morning Of The World” For “New Age” and “down-time” scholarly types. It is said there is music for all occasions. Whenever I peruse a book or magazine piece dealing with ancient mysteries, such as the pyramids or lost continents, I pick from out of my collection a complementary album to go with it. As an example, when I read from Michael Cremo's Forbidden Archaeology, for dessert I listen to the album Ancient Mysteries by the adult contemporary artist, Stephen Bacchus. Bacchus studied composition not too far from where I live, at Toronto's York University. He too is interested in exotic, historic knowledge and plays the synthesizer. Ancient Mysteries makes for introspective listening, and I recommend it for all those who take pleasure in studying past civilizations and cultures. My favorite Bacchus recording is the above-titled one, off his solo debut, Pangaea (1991). Was the Earth at one time one giant continent? Meditate upon the notion over this transporting, tropical-evoking instrumental, which contains some beautifully haunting flute by Ron Korb and a hammock with your name on it gently swaying between two royal palms. It's where any Cremo or Hancock book ought to be read. Running time: 7:30. | ||

Foreword: Firstly, the musical selections which I have been recommending are best appreciated on a high-definition stereo, through speakers with at least 12-inch woofers and precision tweeters. Listening to these good & juicy songs over your dinky computer speakers is equivalent to watching Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey on a portable television. If you find yourself saying, Why, this song isn't anything to write home about, the chances are you're sitting next to your desk- or laptop. Secondly, a clarification: Depeche Mode and The Cure played a large part in my life growing up. No, I haven't “moved on” from them. If anything, I'm starting to re-acquire their albums. Music For The Masses is a classic. Many of Depeche Mode's songs remain dateless: “People Are People” is always current. “Everything Counts” is timely too. And so on. This is why, amid growing up, I held a platonic fascination with the group's songwriter. As I still do. ... “What Can I Say?” Are you one who admirably abides by a regimen and is searching for the perfect sound to power-walk or exercise in some other way to? Tired of your over-played techno though? In need of a change? Want something with a beat and yet that has depth? Look no further than the non-vocal Aussie group Outback, whose danceable rhythms do not sound the least bit electronic at all. These musicians are au naturel and fun-loving. Fronted by a didgeridoo, their albums Baka (1991) and Dance The Devil Away (1992) make for great workout music. Notables include: “Buenaventura” off their debut, and their even better follow-up release includes my favorite, “What Can I Say?” This track makes me gestic giddy. Watch me stand in one spot and flap my legs like ZZ Top to this song which inspires eurythmics in its listener. Running time: 8:07. “Rubberbandman” I've harrowed hell; been to the nadir. Touched rock-bottom, went boing! Snapped right back into place 'like that'. No one and nothin' gonna upset ma equilibrium, baby. My spirit as flexible as elastic. Move over Barry White, there's a new basso profundo in town. On the mic, Dieter Meier of Yello, chompin' away the words to this giocoso, neo-jazzy lilt. Now this is whatcha call croonin'. The video, a must-see, for all you anti-wallower, pro-buoyancy beings as resilient as a yo-yo. Kate Bush may be the Rubberband Girl; Meier's the Man. This duo are pushing geriatrics and are still adolescent at heart; they epitomize cool. Can you suavely sing along with this song, mimic the vocalist's manner, as I can? If so, that means you haven't died to adulthood. G.K. Chesterton said it best: “Angels fly because they take themselves lightly.” Be a good sport, try and see if you can karaoke the “Rubberbandman,” off the group's 1991 album. Yeah, it's an acquired taste, most definitely. (P.S. I'm with Yello. My dream gal rides a hexenbesen!  ). Running time: 3:32. “Evita – Don't Cry For Me Argentina” Research has shown that discordant music contributes to stress, a disturbed mentality, if not an unhygienic lifestyle. Whitley has mentioned somewhere in his journals of his love for Classical. I personally can take it or leave it, although there are some pieces that are truly exquisite. I have a yen for particular instruments, the panpipes being among them. Gheorghe Zanfir's rendition of Andrew Lloyd Webber's nostalgia-evoking “Evita” gives me tingles, it's so graceful, empyreal, majestically climactic. The entire album Magic Of The Panpipes (1993) is beau...ti...ful (what an understatement, but what other word can do it justice?), though the 16th track – the topper – is this listener's favorite Classical recording of all time. This specific version, that is. There are others out there less heavenly. Madonna's comes to mind. Not bad in and of itself, but it triggers the image of her riding Willem Dafoe, which kinda defiles “Evita's” purity. Running time: 5:27. | ||

Got this Chopin waltz on my mind cause whenever I played it my Cat, Mini, would put his chin on my foot that worked the pedal....he didn't mind..he would come from wherever he was to be in on this song. Maybe Chopin and Mini will hear this from wherever they are. Dunno if Chopin liked Cats  maybe if I'd named Mini, Chopin, like I named his Brother, Rachmaninoff.  everybody on UC zzzzing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SVW_O5DlQM&feature=rec-LGOUT-exp_stronger_r2-2r- 1-HM I must create a system, or be enslaved by another man's. ~William Blake | ||

“Progress” My musical amassment is eclectic and vast, encompassing recordings seven-decades old, numerous genres, and various mood-altering notational soundscapes, from felicitating tunes to borderline downbeat singles. Still, despite this diversity, siblings and past acquaintances have remarked how my choice of music is “depressing,” on the basis of an admittedly handful of artists which are somewhat cacophonous or moody within my audible library. Besides the fact of these commentators possessing ultra-selective hearing, the truth of the matter is, some discordant music actually can serve a positive purpose despite its on-the-surface displeasing instrumental nature. That is to say, in order for a new world to come into being, occasionally musical wrecking-crews are needed. One of these groups is Midnight Oil, easily the “hardest music” within my collection. Sure they can be nails-on-slate at times, but it is the message contained within many of their socially conscious lyrics that make all their aggression understandable, listenable. Their “Scream In Blue” live album is my favorite. Put this CD on during an intense physical workout, as, say, when toning with the dumbbells. Each word in “Progress” I myself could have written and have committed to memory. It's an anti-modernity rant. This angst-ridden LP of 13 tracks screams indignation at man's injustice to the environment and indigenous peoples of our planet. It ends with “Bernie,” a sombre acoustic-guitar-played deceleration, containing an admirably resolute chorus. Whenever I listen to these particular songs (along with the group's “Earth And Sun And Moon”) the following Daniel Pinchbeck observation comes to mind: “It is an interesting paradox that as science has studied the world, attaining deeper levels of understanding, the technology produced by our scientific knowledge has simultaneously pulled it apart. The biosphere crisis we have unleashed is entirely man-made. We are the ones who have interfered with the Earth's self-regulating systems, releasing pollution, garbage, chlorofluorocarbons, depleted uranium, and other streams of toxic spew.” (2012: The Return Of Quetzacoatl). In the video to “Beds Are Burning,” count me as one among the toe-tapping, head-nodding band-wagon. Running time: 6:16. “Island Of Woods” I know I know, coming off Midnight Oil you're probably reaching for a painkiller. On the tablet is inscribed the name of neo-classical artist, Bill Douglas. This New Age tranquilizer is ineffably peaceful. I cherish this song immensely. It's sublime, soothing, refreshing; evocative of early-morning dew. If you like Secret Garden the chances are you'll like the album “Circle Of Moons.” The other favorite of mine is the 12th track, the equally graceful “Sweet Dancer.” The opening cut “Heaven In A Wild Flower”is a choral set to the same-titled poem of William Blake's. Sure, scoff all you want at New Age music but it has its beneficent rewards, which can't be said about any other genre. So much so that its music “is used in hundreds of hospitals, clinics, mental institutions, and prisons the world over,” writes Patti Jean Birosik, adding: “No other music has had this kind of wide-reaching effect on mental and physical health to date.” No, not even Classical. I would even venture to say that if more people listened to and enjoyed this music, it would facilitate a worldwide shift in human consciousness, making all of Midnight Oil's blaring, accosting wake-up calls worthwhile. Running time: 4:12. “Song Of The Water” / “Song Of Fire” Have you ever listened to an album that has left you in an absolute trance-like state? John Richardson's “Spirit Of The Redman Volume II” does this to me each time. There is something about the chant that alters one's brain waves. For the adventurous, explorative listener I recommend this mesmerizing, spellbinding 2-track CD. Both these extended, indigenously composed communal vocals defy popular categorization, and each segue effortlessly, weaving together mantras that linger in the brain long after the chanting is over. As the CD review describes, the album is “inspired by the music of Native American Indians. Song of the Water depicts a canoe journey where the braves from each canoe build a central chanting theme into a mood of joyous union. Song of Fire leads from a fire lighting ritual into a powerfully inspirational chant.” Grab a blanket and a rocker, close your eyes and snuggle up with this rara avis that is bound to leave you semi-hypnotized by its final fade-out. Running time: 23:50 / 22:21. | ||

Dear Found Goat, I want to say that I always find your posts both good and juicy. They appeal to both sides of my brain. My scholarly left brain finds them fascinating, and my feeling right brain finds them inspiring. The other day I heard a song which was new to me, and I found everything about it so juicy and delicious that I was fairly dancing in the aisle by the pasta section.  Here's a snippet of lyrics: Come On Get Higher Matt Nathanson if I could walk on water,if I could tell you what's next I'd make you believe, I'd make you forget so, come on get higher loosen my lips faith and desire in the swing of your hips just pull me down hard and drown me in love I miss the pull of your heart I taste the sparks of your tongue and I see angels and devils and god when you come on hold on. hold on.love sing sha la la love.sing sha la la love it's all wrong.it's all wrong. it's all right cause everthing works in your arms And the video: Matt Nathanson - Come On Get Higher | ||

The following three recommended songs (the titles in bold face) each have two things in common: Each contain feminine vocals as lovely as you'll ever find, and each song is dreamy, very dreamy, or even very, very dreamy. Yes, I'm in a mellow mood. “North Point” I'm a Mike Oldfield fan. These are some of my often-played songs within his oeuvre: “Moonlight Shadow,” “Foreign Affair,” “Ommadawn,” “Incantations,” “Amarok.” I like to dance to the Scottish influenced “In Dulci Jubilo” and “Portsmouth.” Albums that play best as a whole are Tubular Bells II and The Songs Of Distant Earth, which I like putting on at bedtime and which sends me into outer space. The best song off his 1987 Islands CD is “North Point,” sung by the heavenly-voiced Anita Hegerland. Running time: 3:33. Have you ever been to Northpoint To spend your time and pray The prison walls are dark and cold and grey. “The World Spins” Julee Cruise has the most angelic sounding singing voice I've ever heard. This Eighties' lounge chanteuse is in a class all of her own when it comes to lullabies. I fell in love with her idyllic, dreamy music the instant I heard it; she appears in a scene in director David Lynch's Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me (1992). Lynch wrote the words to each of the songs contained on Cruise's Floating Into The Night album, released in 1986. There isn't music on the face of the Earth more romantic than Julee Cruise's hushabies. The equally mellow melodies were written and performed by Angelo Badalamenti. There are those who think that the more intricate a composition is, or how much of an instrumental wizard a musician is, determines how great music is or isn't. That's a crock of shite. Some of the best music on this planet is minimalistic in nature, whereas Jimi Hendrix going haywire on his electric guitar doesn't move me one iota, no matter how “talented” he and other fellow maestros are said to be. For those who like soft, airy music and are unfamiliar with this artist, you're in for a treat. Each track on this album is wonderfully low-key. “Falling” and “Mysteries Of Love” are used in the aforementioned film. “The World Spins” is my favorite. (Running time: 6:38.) Though I love the lyrics to “Rockin' Back Inside My Heart,” especially the concluding verses, and, in particularly, the way Cruise sings the last line: Do you remember our picnic lunch? We both went up to the lake And then we walked among the pines The birds sang out a song for us We had a fire when we came back And your smile was beautiful You touched my cheek and you kissed me At night we went for a stroll The wind blew our hair The fire made us warm The wind blew the waves Out on the lake We heard the owl in a nearby tree I thought our love would last forever. “Bumblebee” Get out your incense and scented candles. We're heading East. One of the best foreign-language films of the new millenniumm is Pan Nalin's Samsara (2004). Although the soundtrack isn't spectacular – copacetic overall - “Bumblebee” is a standout, an ear-catcher. It seizes one's attention and conjures up the mystical ambiance of an Himalayan oasis. All thanks to the wispy, transportive vocals of the Eastern nightingale, the songstress Dadon, who composed and performs this lilting song of the soul, which magically brings this meditative mountain range right into our homes. (I will post my own review of the film under the Philosophy movie thread.) I've often struggled with the question: Is the road to enlightenment a celibate one? The words are taken from the 6th Dalai Lama (1683-1706 A.D.). One of its stanzas reads: “The Lama's face upon which I try to meditate, Does not appear in my mind. The lover's face upon which I do not meditate, Appears in my mind clear and distinct.” There are ten fetters that bind us to samsara, one of these being kama-raga, or sensuous craving. Running time: 10:57. ... Miaree9: Thanks for those kind words. I'll give Matt Nathanson's "Come On Get Higher" a listen. | ||

And ya know, the song is mainly about the fact that despite how "normal" some people look, even the most outwardly "well put together" and "balanced" have darknesses within themselves....the man in the song had a perfect home a perfect family a perfect yard and a perfect driveway...yet to achieve these things he was no doubt subject to constant stress and pressure "the first and the last time he ever relaxed".... and so forth... just goes to show you shouldnt really waste too much time trying to make others think you are perfect....to hold that facade together destroys the original intention anyway, eventually. God knows i have felt that way a few times. Sonny: Do you think we were all created for a purpose? Id like to think so. [looks at his hand] Denser alloy. My father gave it to me.

Yes, JD. I read "his suicide note" (I hate the "manifesto" label, as well) when I first got online yesterday just after 4 p.m., or so.

It's now been almost 40 hours, and....I identify with this guy. I can't sleep, either. Black and White Unravel me A distant cord On the outside is forgotten A constant need To get along And the animal awakens And all I feel is black and white The road is long The memory slides To the whole of my undoing Put it aside aside I put it away I push it back to get through each day And all I feel is black and white And I'm wound up small and tight And I don't know who I am Everybody loves you when you're easy Everybody hates when you're a bore Everyone is waiting for your entrance  So don't disappoint them Unravel me Untie this chord The very center of our union Is caving in I can't endure I am the archive of our failure And all I feel is black and white And I'm wound up small and tight And I don't know who I am Everybody loves you when you're easy Everybody hates when you're a bore Everyone is waiting for your entrance  So don't disappoint them Everybody loves you when you're easy So don't disappoint them Don't disappoint them...

I ran into an ex-boss (who I have referred to many times here on the board, because of his comments to me about honesty versus deceit), and I made the mistake of giving him my number. His wife was also my boss, as it was their company. She pretended to be my friend in the beginning, and at her invitations, I ended up spending personal time with her, shopping, going out to eat, even being invited over to their house for dinner, to swim, etc.. Family members AND co-workers were telling me I was making a mistake to allow her into my personal life, and to trust her. I did, of course, end up discovering "their true colors", but not before they burned me and hurt me pretty bad. Anyway, a lot of time has passed since then, and I am by nature a friendly person. It is always my first impulse to be friendly, and to trust. So, when I ran into him, and he told me that his wife had tried to find me within the past couple of years, I stupidly gave him my UNLISTED phone number. I had one conversation with her, and it immediately reminded me of what transpired between us all those years ago. It also revealed to me that the old wounds from that time, were not that far under the surface. Even though I told her that, due to my illness, I just don't have the energy for much except surviving every day, she is continuing to call me and leave messages on my machine. This, despite the fact that I have not returned her calls. Now, last night, she called again, and left a rather "accusing" message about "not being able to get me to call her back". Then, she said that she wanted to talk to me about one of the medical conditions that I have. She said, "I wanted to talk to you about (condition), and it's the main reason I had tried to find you......well, I wanted to talk to you, too, and see how you are doing....but I need to talk about (condition). As a result of this, I woke up this morning with a certain song going through my head. It's not the first time I have ever posted this song, but I am posting it again, only this time, I am posting the cover version, done by one of our own board members. He did a really good job, both singing and recording, and with his images. It was appropriate for my sentiments today. Thank you, Paul! You have a great voice! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTTmTydVzMU "In the end, only kindness matters." | ||

Dante's Prayer When the dark wood fell before me And all the paths were overgrown When the priests of pride say there is no other way I tilled the sorrows of stone I did not believe because I could not see Though you came to me in the night When the dawn seemed forever lost You showed me your love in the light of the stars Cast your eyes on the ocean Cast your soul to the sea When the dark night seems endless Please remember me Then the mountain rose before me By the deep well of desire From the fountain of forgiveness Beyond the ice and the fire Cast your eyes on the ocean Cast your soul to the sea When the dark night seems endless Please remember me Though we share this humble path, alone How fragile is the heart Oh give these clay feet wings to fly To touch the face of the stars Breathe life into this feeble heart Lift this mortal veil of fear Take these crumbled hopes, etched with tears We'll rise above these earthly cares Cast your eyes on the ocean Cast your soul to the sea When the dark night seems endless Please remember me... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGFYqiI20Zs I must create a system, or be enslaved by another man's. ~William Blake | ||

Here's my offering. I am the key to the lock in your house That keeps your toys in the basement. And if you get too far inside You'll only see my reflection. It's always best when the candle's out, I am the pick in the ice. Do not cry out or hit the alarm, You know we're friends 'til we die. And either way you turn I'll be there Open up your skull I'll be there Climbing up the walls It's always best when the light is off, It's always better on the outside. Fifteen blows to the back of your head, Fifteen blows to your mind. So lock the kids up safe tonight And shut the eyes in the cupboard. I've got the smell of a local man Who's got the loneliest feeling. That either way he turns - I'll be there Open up your skull - I'll be there Climbing up the walls http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgDPkqiXrjc Sonny: Do you think we were all created for a purpose?

And, so, in that second one....which character am I? WHEW! For some reason, I have not been able to get into Radiohead. I have tried, really I have. And as you know, it's not because I can't appreciate dark and depressing music. Dunno. Now, the lyrics, I identify with, especially yesterday, and lately. They don't scare me that much anymore.
