What song best desribes your life at the moment?

So much good music in this post I can't help myself. This band has been speaking my life lately, or maybe more where I would like to be. I have posted their lyrics on another thread so at the risk of being redundant I give you a part of myself they framed perfectly.



I have a home
Longing to roam
I have to find you
I have to meet you

Signs of your face
Slowing your pace
I need your guidance
I need to seek my, innervision
Innervision

My pupils dance
Lost in a trance
Your sacred silence
Losing all violence

Stars in their place
Mirror your face
I have to find you
I have to seek my, innervision
Innervision.

It's never too late to reinvent the bicycle
A smile brings forth energy or life
Giving your force

It's never too late to reinvent the bicycle
A smile brings forth energy or life
Giving your force
Vision

There is only one true path to life
The road that leads to all, leads to one
(innervision, innervision)
There is only one true path to life
The road that leads to one.
Innervision.

Your sacred silence,
Losing all violence.



System of a Down- Innervision

Hamal, you're back and with more haunting lyrics of what "speaks your life".......................................................................................

Drinking it in, my friend.

Hi Letty! Haunting is a great word to describe this. I mean I hear this song and it's like the basic fundamentals of my being are going to just break apart, as if I am going to evolve right there in the moment, change and make life happen. I have had music inspire me, but I just can't seem to get enough of this. Very glad to share it.

Hamal, you really need to structure that response into a poem. It's a lovely analysis of one's life through verse, both musically and metaphorically.

You flatter me Letty! I will take your advise and work on it a bit. If I come up with something good i'll go ahead post it - in the right forum course.

No flattery intended, my friend. Just an honest observation.

WHEN YOU KNOW by Shawn Colvin

When You Know
That you know
Who you love
You cant deny it
Or go back
Or give up
Or pretend
That you dont buy it

When its clear this time
Youve found the one
You never let him go
Cause you know
And you know
That you know

When you feel
In your skin
In your bones
And the hollows
Of your heart
Theres no way
You can wait
Till tomorrow

When there isnt any
Doubt about it
Once you come this close
Cause you know
And you know
That you know

You can feel
Loves around you
Like the sky
Round the moon
This is how
Love has found you
Now you know
What to do

When you know
That you know
Who you need
You cant deny it
Or go back
Or give up
Or pretend
That you dont buy it

When its clear this time
Youve found the one
You never let him go
Cause you know
And you know
That you know

And its time
You come in
From the cold

And you know
That you know

Its just one line from slipknots duality

'You cannot kill what you did not create' and that is for the hunters and people who hate others.

In your eyes-Ben Harper version

love I get so lost, sometimes
days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
when I want to run away
I drive off in my car
but whichever way I go
I come back to the place you are

all my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

in your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
the heat I see in your eyes

love, I don't like to see so much pain
so much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away
I get so tired of working so hard for out survival
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive

and all my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

in your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light,
the heat I see in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes

Guy Davis:

Can anybody tell me where the road is /
I'm just tryin to find my way back home




(about to burst into tears)

Talking Heads...Take Me To The River....I have to shower and I need to pee.......

nimh, what's wrong, my friend?

Hey nimh, I'm worried, too. What is it?

msolga, tears are cleansing....................................................

It's when we have no tears to shed, that is when the world ends, not with a bang but a whimper. T.S. Eliot knew something that we don't know. Aren't you glad?

Letty

I have been known to use this tried & true cleansing process, myself, from time to time

Well, my Aussie friend, I do remember the songs that you, and Walter, and I sang so long ago.

The Watch on the Rhine............

and this one:

If you get back, if you do get back.
You'll hear the Yankees cry,
Atta boy, Jack,
And when you return,
Remember to bring,
Some little gift that you get from the king,
And drop me a line from Germany,
To Yankee doodle do,
If you get back,
And you will get back,
There's a whole world waiting for you.

What a crock, my friend, but I can't help singing.

I also remember Walter's thread on "Literality" and waving my arms wildly.

thought about Lorna and this thread tonight as I was driving home - knowing that I was gonna give the lad a call








hope everything's going well Lorna and that you're sleeping easily

The Spirit


The sun and moon every day
Day and night mark my play
See the future in the past
Try to change or make it last
Go for broke don't regret
Get your hands dirty get you feet wet
Take your place use me well
I'm in your hands so make me tell
A broken dream seems unkind
But I can help for I am time

I can heal you
It's not a matter of slight
Only of sound
Let me... feel for you
Feel for yourself
The love all around
I can... lead you
Is you soul afraid
Of what you've made
Do you know the way
the spirit goes

All around on the wind
Distant whispers of what I bring
In the day in the night
Locked in the words of lovers delight
If I'm lost or mislaid
Just keep looking don't be afraid
In the eye on the mind
I'm everything and yours to find
I'm not far just discover
I'm in you for I am love

I can heal you
It's not a matter of slight
Only of sound
Let me... feel for you
Feel for yourself
The love all around
I can... lead you
Is you soul afraid
Of what you've made
Do you know the way
the spirit goes

Hazy Shade Of Winter


Time, time, time, see what's become of me
While I looked around
For my possibilities
I was so hard to please
But look around, leaves are brown
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

Hear the salvation army band
Down by the riverside, it's bound to be a better ride
Than what you've got planned
Carry your cup in your hand
And look around, leaves are brown now
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

Hang on to your hopes, my friend
That's an easy thing to say, but if your hopes should pass away
Simply pretend
That you can build them again
Look around, the grass is high
The fields are ripe, it's the springtime of my life

Ahhh, seasons change with the scenery
Weaving time in a tapestry
Won't you stop and remember me
At any convenient time
Funny how my memory slips while looking over manuscripts
Of unpublished rhyme
Drinking my vodka and lime

But look around, leaves are brown now
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

Look around, leaves are brown
There's a patch of snow on the ground...

When I was young
I never needed anyone
And making love was just for fun
Those days are gone
Livin' alone
I think of all the friends I've known
When I dial the telephone
Nobody's home

All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore

Hard to be sure
Sometimes I feel so insecure
And loves so distant and obscure
Remains the cure

All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
All by myself
Don't wanna live
All by myself
Anymore

When I was young
I never needed anyone
Making love was just for fun
Those days are gone

All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
All by myself
Don't wanna live
Oh
Don't wanna live
By myself, by myself
Anymore
By myself
Anymore
Oh
All by myself
Don't wanna live
I never, never, never
Needed anyone

Listened to that song with variations by Rachmaninoff.
Celine Dion.
