Here comes the sun, here comes the sun...♫ And I say, never go away...
Waiting is the hardest thing (It's strange I feel like I've known you before) I tell myself that if I believe in you (And I want to understand you) In the dream of you (More and more) With all my heart and all my soul (When I'm with you) That by sheer force of will (I feel like a magical child) I will raise you from the ground (Everything strange) And without a sound you'll appear (Everything wild) And surrender to me, to love...
(It starts with) One thing, I don’t know why It doesn’t even matter how hard you try Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme to explain in due time All I know...♫ time is a valuable thing Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings Watch it count down to the end of the day The clock ticks life away It’s so unreal Didn’t look out below Watch the time go right out the window Trying to hold on but didn’t even know Wasted it all just to Watch you go...♫ I kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when I tried so hard and got so far...♫ But in the end it doesn't even matter I had to fall to lose it all But in the end it doesn't even matter...♫ One thing, I don’t know why It doesn’t even matter how hard you try Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme to remind myself how I tried so hard...♫ In spite of the way you were mocking me, acting like I was part of your property Remembering all the times you fought with me I’m surprised it got so (far) Things aren’t the way they were before You wouldn’t even recognize me anymore Not that you knew me back then, but it all comes back to me In the end...♫ You kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when I tried so hard And got so far But in the end It doesn’t even matter...♫ I had to fall To lose it all But in the end It doesn’t even matter...♫ I've put my trust in you Pushed as far as I can go For all this There’s only one thing you should know I've put my trust in you...♫ Pushed as far as I can go For all this There’s only one thing you should know...♫ I tried so hard And got so far But in the end It doesn’t even matter I had to fall To lose it all But in the end It doesn’t even matter...♫
thanks SO much, Xeia, for re-posting the Final Fantasy video ... SO lovely! i'll tell Shane when he gets home today. also listened to Linkin Park & David Bowie ... LOVE the saxes in brother bowie's Modern Love ... he's SUCH a good entertainer!
Somebody told me, "Boy, everything she wants is everything she sees..." I guess I must have loved you... 'Cause I said you were the perfect girl for me, Baby... But now we're six months older... And everything you want and everything you see, Is out of reach...not good enough... I don't know what the hell you want from me oooohh...
Uh huh huh... Oh...oh... Uh huh huh... Doo doo doo... La la la la...
Somebody tell me, Won't you tell me... Why I work so hard for you? All to give you money All to give you money...
Some people work for a living, Some people work for fun, Girl, I just work for you... They told me marriage was a give and take, Well, show me you can take you've got some giving to do... And now you tell me that you're having my baby...♫ I'll tell you that I'm happy if you want me to... But one step further and my back will break, If my best isn't good enough, Than how can it be good enough for two? I can't work any harder than I do...
Somebody tell me, Won't you tell me... Why I work so hard for you? All to give you money, All to give you money...
Oh... Why do I do the things I do? I'd tell you if I knew... My God! I don't even think that I love you...♫ Won't you tell me... Tell me...tell me...tell me...
How could you settle for a boy like me? When all I could see was the end of the week...♫ All the things we sign... And the things we buy... Ain't gonna keep us together...♫ It's just a matter of time!
My situation...♫ Never changes.... Walking in and out of that door! Like a stranger...♫ But with wages... I give you all you say you want more!
And all I can see is the end of the week... All the things we sign...♫ And the things we buy...♫ Ain't gonna keep us together... Girl, it's just a matter of time!
There was a time when we were cradled one on one And now I find that all creation is undone I'm throwing out all of these thoughts that are not mine I'm building up you're coming down i'm losing time
And now i've found some solid ground I thought i'd drowned but now i'm found And on the lips of life I kiss I find I'm here this place of bliss
It's better now you'll find that life is on your side And you know of glory days the vibe you cannot hide I'm giving you the chance to make it all alright Baby come on walk with me I know the futures bright
When you dream of themes that drive you to feel insincere Think again you know that all those feelings are just fear When you're trilled by ego hits you think you're on a high You should know deep down inside it never satisfies
WHEW ! can't stand still to THAT one ! i LIKE it ... sort of a cross between Native American and Robot LOL ! thanks for that LOVELY meditation, 4Rivers ! and oh...btw...which rivers ARE they again?!
Yes Inanna... when you are MOVED by the music it is hard to stay still... glad you liked it. Awesome to meditate in resonance of music - where the heart moves the stones.
4Rivers = North-East-West-South = NEWS = A day in the life
WHOA !!! that was a THRILL ... i must have NEEDED that ! like a Catharsis, that ending ... THANKS 4Rivers ... GREAT "bridge" into the Beatles' tune btw ... and ANOTHER "btw" i thought of during the video was that i JUST LAST WEEK on John's birthday listened to some tapes done by a Rolling Stone Journalist during the months before John died. i think his LAST tape was done the very WEEK John died ! on the tapes we could hear John discussing stuff like...for example...that "bridge"in the "(i read the) News (Today)" ditty ... "i love to tu-ur-ur-urn yu-u-u-u on-o-o-o-o-on..." and "how come" IT became the bridge between the other 2 "different songs" ... it was FASCINATING ... and SO MAGICAL to hear his voice again after "all this time" !
so anyway ... thanks for another TERIFFIC meditation !
WOW ... LOVED the Dancing ... i'm a "Dancin Fool" at heart, i am ! and those women certainly ARE Gorgeous ... that's not Christina A. there, is it, sister sui ?!? is/was SHE a "PussyCat Doll" ??? i'm so NOT "in the know" ... but WHOMEVER ... she's Good ! just a FEW things could have made the video BETTER imo ... 1) the addition of some MALE dancers (the "gayer" the better!), and 2) the inclusion of some more AHEM "mature" women and their more AHEM "mature" bodies ... with sagging boobies and bulging bellies galore! and i am DEAD SERIOUS about this, my peeps ! WHERE is Shirley McLaine and her grey-haired-slave-boys when you NEED THEM ?!?!
LUV ya, my sweet sister ! (BOY! that's SO MUCH EASIER to say en anglais!)

ROFL!!!!!!!! Oh...maybe they should've add this gal to the video!! hehe...
I'm gonna make believe I did not read that last paragraph!!
Meanwhile back in the year One, when you belonged to no-one, you didn't stand a chance son, if your pants were undone. 'Cause you were bred for humanity and sold to society one day you'll wake up in the Present Day a million generations removed from expectations of being who you really want to be.
So as you push off from the shore, won't you turn your head once more and make your peace with everyone? For those who choose to stay, will live just one more day to do the things they should have done. And as you cross the wilderness, spinning in your emptiness: you feel you have to pray. Looking for a sign that the Universal Mind has written you into the Passion Play.
And as you cross the circle line, the ice-wall creaks behind you're a rabbit on the run. And the silver splinters fly in the corner of your eye shining in the setting sun. Well, do you ever get the feeling that the story's too damn real and in the present tense? Or that everybody's on the stage, and it seems like you're the only person sitting in the audience? skating away on the thin ice of the New Day. Skating away, skating away , skating away
Spare a little candle, save some light for me figures up ahead, moving in the trees......♫ White skin in linen, perfume on my wrist...♫ And the full moon that hangs over, these dreams in the mist...♫
Darkness on the edge, Shadows where I stand...♫ I search for the time on a watch with no hands I want to see you clearly, come closer than this But all I remember, are the dreams in the mist...♫
These dreams go on when I close my eyes..♫ Every second of the night I live another life These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away...♫
Is it cloak 'n dagger, could it be spring or fall ...♫ I walk without a cut, through a stained glass wall... Weaker in my eyesight, the candle in my grip And words that have no form, are falling from my lips..♫...♫
These dreams go on when I close my eyes..♫ Every second of the night I live another life...♫ These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside... Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away...♫
There's something out there... I can't resist, I need to hide away from the pain..♫ There's something out there I can't resist...♫
The sweetest song is silence that I've ever heard.. Funny how your feet in dreams never touch the earth...♫ In a wood full of princes...freedom is a kiss! But the prince hides his face, from dreams in the mist...♫
These dreams go on when I close my eyes...♫ Every second of the night I live another life These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside...♫ Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away...♫
THANK You, 4Rivers ... i LOVED it! i've seen them in concert ... back in the day ... doing "Thick As a Brick" ... another FANTASTIC album imo ! i've never heard either this tune or album, though, so i REALLY appreciate your "turnin me on" to it ... THANKS, bro!
think i'm gonna have to share this on FaceBook ... and spread the Good News !
OOPS ... guess my last post CROSSED your's in the little "internet tubies" sister Xeia! so, i'll DEFINITELY go back and listen to "Heart" (my sister and i recently were TRYING to find some of their stuff!) but i guess you realized that the concert i mentioned having seen was Jethro Tull and NOT Heart ... LOL ... and i think i FORGOT to mention in my note to 4Rivers that i absolutely LOVE ian anderson's skills as a lyricist ... he's so GIFTED imo !
and -- before i depart for my Heart concert -- i want to leave ya'll with the artist whom i thought of IMMEDIATELY ... after hearing that Jethro Tull tune ... one of my very FIRST "true loves" !
ENJOY, dragon babies!
love, hippihill
p.s. hope this doesn't sound like BRAGGIN ... since i said this about Jethro Tull too ... but i'm pretty sure i DID see this concert also ... i mean ... i know i saw him about this same YEAR ... and he DID have a similar kind of white shirt on during it (till he changed midway!) ... and his hair was the same ... LOL ! over 30 years ago ... Knoxville, Tennessee ... my 36 year-old son was 2 then ... my 31 year old daughter not yet Incarnated!
and Just ONE More ... i LOVE these lyrics ! only thing ... guess i've turned into a "dirty old woman" in the intervening years since i first "knew & loved" this tune ... cause NOW when he sings that line, "Well i can't keep it in" ... my mind keeps dropping into the GUTTER ... and then i wanna start LAUGHING instead of appreciating the Music ! guess that's just part of being an OLD DragonLady, eh?! LOL
WOW ... i WISH i HAD seen Heart in concert ... that LAST video especially was OUTSTANDING ... they ROCK ! i've always really liked their music ... but not "growing up" in the MTV generation ... guess it was Easy to miss their videos. and i did NOT realize what SERIOUS "rockers" these women ARE ... OMG ... GO, sisters! Sui ... do you know anything about them CURRENTLY ... and i'm wondering about Ian Anderson too ... is he still Working, do any of ya'll know?? i think we ALL know about Cat/Yusuf ... so i don't have to "go there" ... some of the NEWER stuff of his i heard sounded Good ... has anyone else heard any of his really RECENT stuff?? just curious.
