Music is language without words

Conor Oberst
Danny Callahan lyrics

Green world, love the chloroform.
Front porch in the thunderstorm.
Controlled chaos, confused energy.

So stop reading the weather charts.
Stop counting the playing cards.
There's no system, there's no guarantee
That the love you feel and carry inside can be passed.
But you try, I know you do you still talk
To your plans.
Ask how are you getting on alone?

Some wander the wilderness,
Some drink cosmopolitans.
Some cold science, some glean astroplanes.
I can't tell where the canvas stops,
Homesick as an astronaut.
Just keep drifting, but still can't explain.
How the love we feel we carry inside can be passed.
See a brother in the gutter you reach out your hand.
Ask how are you getting on alone?

What gauge measures miracles?
And whose heartbeat's electrical?
We feign sickness with our modern joy.
But even Western medicine,
It couldn't save Danny Callahan.
Bad bone marrow, a bald little boy.
But the love he feels he carries inside can be passed.
He lay still,
His mother kissed him goodbye, said 'comeback.'
Where are you going to alone?
Where are you going all alone?

KT Tunstall, Universe & You


A fire burns
Water comes
You cool me down
When I'm cold inside
You are warm and bright
You know you are so good for me,yeah
With your child's eyes
You are more than you seem
You see into space
I see in your face
The places you've been
The things you have learned
They sit with you so beautifully

You know there's no need to hide away
You know I tell the truth
We are just the same
I can feel everything you do
Hear everything you say
Even when you're miles away
Cause I am me, the universe and you

And just like stars burning bright
Making holes in the night
We are building bridges

You know there's no need to hide away
You know I tell the truth
We are just the same
I can feel everything you do
Hear everything you say
Even when you're miles away
Cause I am me, the universe and you
I'm the universe and you

When you're on your own
I'll send you a sign
Just so you know
I am me, the universe and you
The universe and you
The universe and you
I am the universe and you

Great idea Orion morris - I'll give this some thought and be back!

[HaveBlue]

The wisdom of Larry the cable guy......

1. A day without sunshine is like night.

2. On the other hand, you have different fingers.

3 42.7 percent of all statistics are made up on the spot.

4. 99 percent of lawyers give the rest a bad name.

5. Remember, half the people you know are below average.

6. He who laughs last, thinks slowest.

7. Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.

8. The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese in the trap

9. Support bacteria. They're the only culture some people have.

10. A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.

11. Change is inevitable, except from vending machines.

12. If you think nobody cares, try missing a couple of payments.

13. How many of you believe in psycho-kinesis? Raise my hand.

14 OK, so what's the speed of dark?

15. When everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.

16. Hard work pays off in the future. Laziness pays off now.

17. How much deeper would the ocean be without sponges?

18. Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.

19. What happens if you get scared half to death, twice?

20. Why do psychics have to ask you your name?

21. Inside every older person is a younger person wondering, 'What the hell happened?'

22. Light travels faster than sound. That's why some people appear bright until you hear them speak

[Don'tPanic]

Don't Panic - Coldplay (screen names inspiration )

Bones, sinking like stones, all that we've fought for.
Homes, places we've grown, all of us are done for

We live in a beautiful world, yeah we do, yeah we do
We live in a beatiful world

Bones, sinking like stones all that we've fought for
Homes, places we've grown, all of us are done for.

We live in a beautiful world, yeah we do, yeah we do
We live in a beautiful world

Oh, all that I know
Theres nothing here to run from
And yeah, everybody heres got somebody to lean on.

'God! Show Me Magic' by the North Wales Band - Super Furry Animals


I had a soul transplant operation
Coz my bypass didn't function
So now I'm keeping on my toes
'Til I see your one man show

Show me magic
Show me magic
Show me magic
Show me mad

Wouldn't it be nice to know
What the paper doesn't show
What the TV doesn't say
And what my hamster's ate today?

Show me magic
Show me magic
Show me magic
Show me mad

God! Show me magic
God! Show me magic
God! Show me magic
God! Show me mad

Show me magic
Show me magic
Show me magic
Show me magic

[ForsakenFalcon]

O Fortuna
velut luna
statu variabilis,
semper crescis
aut decrescis;
vita detestabilis
nunc obdurat
et tunc curat
ludo mentis aciem,
egestatem,
potestatem
dissolvit ut glaciem.

Sors immanis
et inanis,
rota tu volubilis,
status malus,
vana salus
semper dissolubilis,
obumbrata
et velata
michi quoque niteris;
nunc per ludum
dorsum nudum
fero tui sceleris.

Sors salutis
et virtutis
michi nunc contraria,
est affectus
et defectus
semper in angaria.
Hac in hora
sine mora
corde pulsum tangite;
quod per sortem
sternit fortem,
mecum omnes plangite!


Translation =O

O Fortune,
like the moon
you are constantly changing,
ever waxing
and waning;
hateful life
now oppresses
and then soothes
as fancy takes it;
poverty
and power
it melts them like ice.

Fate - monstrous
and empty,
you whirling wheel,
you are malevolent,
well-being is vain
and always fades to nothing,
shadowed
and veiled
you plague me too;
now through the game
I bring my bare back
to your villainy.

Fate, in health
and virtue,
is against me
driven on
and weighted down,
always enslaved.
So at this hour
without delay
pluck the vibrating strings;
since Fate
strikes down the strong man,
everyone weep with me!

My American prayer

http://www.myamericanprayer.com/video.html

[Kahunamahalo]

Frank Zappa

Dreamed I was an Eskimo
Frozen wind began to blow
Under my boots and around my toes
The frost that bit the ground below
It was a hundred degrees below zero...

And my mama cried
And my mama cried
Nanook, a-no-no
Nanook, a-no-no
Don't be a naughty Eskimo
Save your money, don't go to the show

Well I turned around and I said "Oh, oh" Oh
Well I turned around and I said "Oh, oh" Oh
Well I turned around and I said "Ho, Ho"
And the northern lights commenced to glow
And she said, with a tear in her eye
"Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow"
"Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow"

Always brings a tear to my eye...

[bakseat]

<asigniture in my mind thats what u are

EPIPHANY

If all men are truly one
As it's taught by every Buddha, every Christ,
Then I am each and every person,
And everyone is me.

If, then, I bear all the hurt, all the anger,
Every sin and all the blame,
I claim as well the exhilaration
Of each of history's finest hours.

Where then is the level of unity?
Do I end with my hands, or my enemy's?

The world, the universe, the mind of God,
The surge and tuck of magnetic time;
All Truth is born in this numinous matrix.
I follow the road chanting:

SO THIS IS THEE!

Heaven is a Place on Earth - Sung By - Belinda Carlisle



R. Nowels/E. Shipley)
When the night falls down
I wait for you
And you come around
And the world's alive
With the sound of kids
On the street outside

When you walk into the room
You pull me close and we start to move
And we're spinning with the stars above
And you lift me up in a wave of love...

Ooh, baby, do you know what that's worth?
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
They say in heaven love comes first
We'll make heaven a place on earth
Ooh heaven is a place on earth

When I feel alone
I reach for you
And you bring me home
When I'm lost at sea
I hear your voice
And it carries me

In this world we're just beginning
To understand the miracle of living
Baby I was afraid before
But I'm not afraid anymore

Ooh, baby, do you know what that's worth?
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
They say in heaven love comes first
We'll make heaven a place on earth
Ooh heaven is a place on earth

[purereality]

purereality is what you see

in the alchemy of your mind

there's no mistake

all paths we take

in the odyssey of mankind

the children of the law of one

shall over come

when judgement comes

the sons of belial

who all beguile

will be condemned to a long trip down the nile

ooh child!

this is not the time to be sinning

because the angel of death will come grinning

when will you learn no life shall be forsaken

the more you love the more you live

the more you hate the more will be taken

so pay attention to the life you live

cause when comes the day

when all will pay

it all depends on the way

the scale will sway

release your your mind

we've all been blind

open your third eye mankind

why cant you see

this alchemy that we all see

will always be my purereality

[Wellerite]

Paul Weller - Porcelain God


Beware false prophets - take a stand!
My fortune cookie cracked up in my hand,
More advice to fill up your head
More empty words from the living dead-
Who seek to explain what can't really be said-
And how disappointed I was
To turn out after all -
Just a porcelain God -
that shatters when it falls-
Too much will kill you - too little ain't enough
You shout my name but I'll call your bluff
Most who see me - see me not for real
We fake & fawn - play games 'til dawn
But I could see what you can see
And I hate too what you hate in me -
And how disappointed I am
To find me part of no plan -
Just a porcelain God -
that shatters when it falls

I shake it off and start again
"Don't lose control" - I tell myself,
Life can take many things away -
Some people will try - and take it all
They'll pick off pieces as they watch you crawl
And how disappointed I was
To turn out after all -
Just a porcelain God -
that shatters when it falls-
That shatters when it falls.

[yikes!]

Waiting for The End of The World - Elvis Costello

The man from the television crawled into the train.
I wonder who he's gonna stick it in this time.
Everyone was looking for a little entertainment,
So they'll probably pull his hands off when they find out his name.
And then they shut down the power all along the line,
And we got stuck in the tunnel where no lights shine.
They got to touchin' all the girls were to scared to call out.
Nobody was saying anything at all.

We were waiting for the end of the world,
Waiting for the end of the world,
Waiting for the end of the world.
Dear Lord I sincerely hope you're coming
'Cause you really started something.

Things got back to normal as the train began to roll again.
We got to the station about twenty minutes later.
The legendary hitchhiker says that he knows where it's at.
Now he'd like to go to Spain or somewhere like that,
With his two-tone Bible and his funny cigarettes,
His suntan lotion and his castanets.

He was waiting for the end of the world,
Waiting for the end of the world,
Waiting for the end of the world.
Dear Lord I sincerely hope you're coming
'Cause you really started something.

And then the bride, the groom, the congregation and the priest
All got onto the train when we were three stations east, yeah.
Hiding from a scandal in the national press,
They had been trying to get married since they stole the wedding dress.
You may see them drowning as you stroll along the beach,
But don't throw out the lifeline till they're clean out of reach.

Waiting for the end of the world. (repeat and fade)


LIFE DURING WARTIME
by The Talking Heads

Heard of a van that is loaded with weapons
packed up and ready to go
Heard of some gravesites, out by the highway
a place where nobody knows
The sound of gunfire, off in the distance
I'm getting used to it now
Lived in a brownstone, lived in the ghetto
I've lived all over this town

This ain't no party, this ain't no disco
this ain't no fooling around
No time for dancing, or lovey dovey
I ain't got time for that now

Transmit the message, to the receiver
hope for an answer some day
I got three passports, couple of visas
don't even know my real name
High on a hillside, trucks are loading
everything's ready to roll
I sleep in the daytime, I work in the nightime
I might not ever get home

This ain't no party, this ain't no disco
this ain't no fooling around
This ain't no mudd club, or C. B. G. B.
I ain't got time for that now

Heard about Houston? Heard about Detroit?
Heard about Pittsburgh, PA?
You oughta know not to stand by the window
somebody might see you up there
I got some groceries, some peanut butter
to last a couple of days
But I ain't got no speakers
ain't got no headphones
ain't got no records to play

Why stay in college? Why go to night school?
Gonna be different this time?
Can't write a letter, can't send a postcard
I can't write nothing at all
This ain't no party, this ain't no disco
this ain't no fooling around
I'd love you hold you, I'd like to kiss you
I ain't got no time for that now

Trouble in transit, got through the roadblock
we blended in with the crowd
We got computers, we're tapping phone lines
I know that ain't allowed
We dress like students, we dress like housewives
or in a suit and a tie
I changed my hairstyle so many times now
don't know what I look like!
You make me shiver, I feel so tender
we make a pretty good team
Don't get exhausted, I'll do some driving
you ought to get you some sleep
Get you instructions, follow directions
then you should change your address
Maybe tomorrow, maybe the next day
whatever you think is best
Burned all my notebooks, what good are notebooks?
They won't help me survive
My chest is aching, burns like a furnace
the burning keeps me alive
Try to stay healthy, physical fitness
don't want to catch no disease
Try to be careful, don't take no chances
you better watch what you say

[Consciousness]

C. Dion - If that's what it takes

..........................

When the storm rises up, when the shadows descend

every beat of my heart, every day without end

I will stand like a rock, I will bend till I break

Till there's no more to give, if that's what it takes

I will risk everything, I will fight, I will bleed

I will lay down my life, if that's what you need

Every second I live, that's the promise I make

Baby, that's what I'll give, if that's what it takes.


Through the wind and the rain, through the smoke and the fire

When the fear rises up, when the wave's ever higher

I will lay down my heart, my body, my soul

I will hold on all night and never let go

Every second I live, that's the promise I make

Baby, that's what I'll give, if that's what it takes

...........................

Brings a (happy) tear to my eye believing one can love another selflessly as much as the above lyrics imply.

[TranceAm]

There is a poet in North Carolina, His name is Javan.
Maybe you want to review this next piece from 1984:

I'm not very good
At this game called Life

For I've not learned to see children crying
Without feeling pain
For I've not learned to watch animals destroyed
Without wondering why

For I've not yet met a king or celebrity
That I would bow down to
Or a man so insignificant
That I would use for a stepping stone
For I've no learned to be a "yes man"
To narrow minded bosses
Who quote rules without reason

And I've not learned to manipulate
The feelings of others
To be used for my own advantages
Then cast aside as I see fit

No, I'm not very good
At this game called live
And if everything goes well
Maybe I never will be

Javan

LIKE HUMANS DO!!!! Yes!!!! One of my favorites. Listen to what he says in the beginning of this video!
"To love human beings despite their failings" WOW!!! Is this relevant or what?!?!?! Enjoy friends!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzmZXYKmTt0

For millions of years, In millions of homes
A man loved a woman, A child it was born
It learned how to hurt and it learned how to cry
Like Humans Do
I'm breathin in
I'm breathin out
So slip inside this funky house
Dishes in the sink
The TV's in repair
Don't look at the floor
Don't go up the stairs

I'm achin
I'm shakin
I'm breakin
Like Humans Do

I work & I sleep & I dance & I'm dead
I'm eatin, I'm laughin & I'm lovin myself
We're eatin off plates & and we kiss with our tongue
Like Humans Do

I'm breathin in
I'm breathin out
So slip inside this funky house
Dishes in the sink
The TV's in repair
Don't look at the floor
Don't go up the stairs

I'm achin
I'm shakin
I'm breakin
Like Humans Do

I'm breathin in
I'm breathin out
So slip Inside this funky house
Wiggle while you work
Anybody can
The rain is pourin' in on a woman & a man

I'm achin
I'm shakin
I'm breakin
Like Humans Do
I'm breathin in
I'm breathin out

When you sing
of a joy only love can bring

Heaven knows
it's in my heart, and my soul

We're caught in a world
full of tears

So many sad times
and fears

So while there's a chance
and you're near


Well, lets dance

Let's dance


There's a world
far away from the one we see

There's a dream
I will never let go

One thing is certainly

This moment's for me
and for you

And while there's not a thing that we can do


Let's dance

Let's dance


Chris Rea, "Let's Dance"

Translation

Still absent, still unseen
Escaped from within my grasp
As large as a little finger's nail
A fluff, a flower
With no sign that it'll be there tomorrow

Round, round
A world of happiness
Here where my companions fell
Somewhere distant far from here
A song I though I heard yesterday

Watching from a tiny window
Calling out from a tiny window

The Ragnarok from long ago.

[JesterTerrestrial]

I AM music

"I AM music, most ancient of the arts.
I am more than ancient:
I am eternal.
Even before life commenced upon this earth,
I was here - in the winds and the waves.
When the first trees and flowers and grasses appeared,
I was among them.

And when humanity came,
I at once became the most delicate, most subtle,
and most powerful medium for the expression of their emotions.
When they were little better than beasts,
I influenced them for their good.

In all ages I have inspired humanity with hope,
kindled their love,
given a voice to their joys,
cheered them on to valorous deeds,
and soothed them in times of despair.

I have played a great part in the drama of Life,
whose end and purpose
is the complete perfection of humanity's nature.
Through my influence
human nature has been uplifted,
sweetened and refined.

A long line of the brightest minds
have devoted themselves to the perfection of instruments
through which they may utilize my powers
and enjoy my charms.

I have myriads of voices and instruments.
I am in the hearts of all peoples and on their tongues,
in all lands and among all cultures:
the ignorant and unlettered know me,
not less than the rich and learned.

For I speak to all peoples,
in a language that all understand.
Even the deaf hear me,
if they but listen to the voices of their own souls.

I am the food of love.
I have taught humanity gentleness and peace:
and I have led them onward to heroic deeds.
I comfort the lonely,
and I harmonize the discord of crowds.
I am a necessary luxury to all.
I AM music."

- Allen Inman

[Circlewerk]

The Healing Room, Sinead O'Connor (Beautiful song, I recommend hearing it)

I have a universe inside me
Where I can go, an spirit guides me
There I can ask oh any question
I get the answers if I listen

I have a healing room inside me
The loving healers there they feed me
They make me happy with their laughter
They kiss and tell me I'm their daughter
I'm their daughter

(Me love you lots of lots of lots)

You have a little voice inside you
It doesn't matter who you think you may be
You're not free if you don't know me

See I'm not the lie that lives outside you
And it doesn't matter what you think you believe
You're not free if you don't know me
If you don't know me

See I am the universe inside you
You come to me and I will guide you
And make you happy with my laughter
I joy in seeing you're my daughter
You're my daughter
So believe you're not free if you don't know me
if you don't know me
if you don't know me
if you don't know me
if you don't know me
if you don't know me
if you don't know
