wow

Go to http://youtube.com/watch?v=5cpSv2mNhhc, see what this song says to you, then read what i thinkbelow the lyrics.


where are we?what the hell is going on?the dust has only just begun to fallcrop circles in the carpetsinking feeling
spin me round againand rub my eyes,this can't be happeningwhen busy streets a mess with peoplewould stop to hold their heads - heavy
hide and seektrains and sewing machinesall those yearsthey were here first
oily marks appear on wallswhere pleasure moments hung before the takeover,the sweeping insensitivity of this still life
hide and seektrains and sewing machines (oh, you won't catch me around here)blood and tears (hearts)they were here first
Mmmm whacha say,Mmmm that you only meant well?well of course you didMmmm whacha say,Mmmm that its all for the best?Because it isMmmm whacha say?Mmmm that it's just what we needyou decided thiswhacha say?Mmmm what did she say?
ransom notes keep falling out your mouthmid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut outsspeak no feeling no i don't believe youyou don't care a bit, you don't care a bit
(hide and seek)ransom notes keep falling out your mouthmid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut outs
(hide and seek)speak no feeling no i don't believe youyou don't care a bit,you don't care a (you don't care a) bit
(hide and seek)oh no, you don't care a bitoh no, you don't care a bit
(hide and seek)oh no, you don't care a bityou don't care a bityou don't care a bit.

This song was so beutifull, it totally speaks every single emotion of the human heart to me, all at the same time, the hurt of life and love, the discovery of new. The lose of family and the birth of new life. The hate the world has, and the complexity of the lifes we men and women lead, the lyrics speak alot, but the music is the killer and passer on of the meaning of the peice.

The complexity, of it all is amazing, and to think that we listen to music that only has one or two ideas or meanings to them, and then hearing this, wow. im in awe of the power of music once again

A song to sing, a life to live

This is something i wrote on sunday,

A song to sing, but what words to say.
a life to live, but what steps to take.
A single breath, but so much more.
My life has been turned upside down.
the hands i grab so often turn away.
but new ones are there,
The world is bearing down, it chokes and burns,
the life we live is so useless in its big picture.
No one cares, no one listens,
How did we come to this.

Depressed, angry,mad sad strong.
happy, confused, and then the choice.
What do i do, how shall i live,
you need the answer, but it just dosent come.
i used to be sure, on top of my game, but so much has changed.
its harder more, confusible, i get lost, and the lights go away.
But you always bring them back, you always are there, usually never left.
I can be so dumb at times.
Confusion ahhhhhhhhh, curse the feeling, it only drives me tward an end,
I must finesh, and with your help i will.
