If it does, tell 'em 'Some weirdo named FA sent them' (and skip to song #4; wait, isn't that,....).

 

THE ORIGINAL


THE EMERGENCE

THE EMERGENCE

Pretty sure I posted the second one already, but oh well. You're listening to YEARS of quantum entrainment. ^_~

Would it?

 

We all got the bullet coming...just hit's some of us sooner

 

How was I to know?

 

A fucking great gig & one of the all time greats to me!

 

And yet, nothing beats the original (the difference is in the background at 1:00)

how fitting!

smmileee

it seems we have
survived the apocalypse

or apocali

if such an event
could be plural

i counted four
that came and went
this past week

the most prevalent
of which
knocked at the door yesterday

the lunar eclipse
the blood moon

but failed doomsday predictions
are nothing new

they have a peculiar way
of appearing conveniently
when the sun or moon eclipses
or when small numbers
match up
with larger numbers

and even more so
when both scenarios
occur simultaneously

but today
is a special day
for the part of the audience
that doesn't cringe
when the actor
messes up his monologue

a simple web search
will lead one to
a plethora of gurus
who have made their god's decision
for him

and now have
to talk themselves
back to relevance

we cannot forget
either
the gurus who have done this before
and know better now

so they
show their support
in more subtle ways

they "like" a certain post
on their forum

they post a link to a particular video

they interview
someone with bizarre claims
who they can conveniently
throw under the bus
once the failed event has passed
and the ratings have leveled

easy enough to walk from
or later modify

all of these

but i consider again
then

are they talking themselves
into relevance
following a failed prediction

or is this
an overproduced
story of redemption
and changing characters
that the audience has no clue
is going on
as the seats are emptied
and filled
by a generally non committed fan base
that does not desire
to think longitudinally?

why do you
buy your water?

Here's a due of musical talent. Pearl Jam & the Finn brothers, Tim & Neil (from Split Endz & Crowded House) performing "I got you" live with verses exchanged between Vedder and Neil Finn and Pearl Jam as the backing band...great song and awesome performance!

 

I was fortunate to see Midnight Oil for the first time on their Diesel and Dust tour in 86. One of the most powerful live acts I have ever seen.
This performance from 1982 captures their intensity imo:

 

These lyrics are brilliant and the song is fucking magic!
Just listen!

 

i came across this song again today

this used to be
one of the something's
i'd listen to
when driving about
with whomever i was in love with
at the time

being 16
or 17
or whatever

and we'd dream
out loud
driving fast
in hardly drivable vehicles
about how our lives together
would be
and how anything before
we met each other
was less than real

how graduating high school
would mean everything
to everyone

but more so us
because we were special
of course
because we had it figured out


yes
we were going to collect
all the dusty books in the world
and i would travel about
as a musician
or a romantic
we were never quite sure
and each time i would return
and embrace her
above the threshold
of our cheap apartment
i would have the stories
of a lifetime to share
and everything
would be as magical
as christmas morning
at a moderately wealthy
family's home....

but they all became
the ones that got away
at some point

and later
they would become
the one that came back

and even later
we'd become
"the ones
who mutually decided
to part ways"

it's funny how
actions become fewer
but words
become more

i watch
the friends i had
at that time
slowly fade
into a poorer version
of their parents

in both assets
and experiences

things to reminisce about
when all you can recall
is how that kiss
made you feel

or how playing that guitar
in front of all those strangers
made you smile
more than anything before

i sometimes find myself wondering
what happened
to these poor acquaintances

or maybe what never happened
to them

yeah.....
maybe that is more apt

did they never
receive an invite
to step outside
the slow waters?

did they never ask?

were they chasing something
they were destined
not to ever catch
because
it is one of those things
where enough
is never enough?

i observed a good friend
at the time
chase a paycheck
with those two zeros
on the other side
of the decimal

he pursued it
so deeply
that even if he ever caught it
he would have nothing left
to do
but look for another of such
with even more zeroes

of course then
he'd be driving a faster vehicle
to repeat the process
a little more quickly

but would he still drive
with the windows down?

would he still listen to
that old song
he used to when
he was 16
or 17
or whatever

when he drove around
with the love of his life

dreaming aloud
of what they
would do
with all of eternity
before their feet?

i wonder now
if that is all he
and all the others
ever wanted

to have the freedom
to pack a lunch
with the love of their life
any day of the week
and drive across the state
in any kind of vehicle
so long as it has a radio
and windows that roll down
so they could dream
together
about everything
they have the ability to do
and will do
should they desire to

driving
onto a highway
that blends into the horizon

and not asking

where does
this road end up?

i wonder
if this pursuit of money

or this passion
for the knowledge
of the trivial

is an escaping desire
to recapture
the freedoms
they set aside
to acquire
the means
to later reacquire
the freedoms
they set aside
in the first place.

selling a hat
only to buy it back
a month later
for twice the price

and you then remember
after exchanging the cash
that it'll be
autumn again anyway
in another week.

 

This is another song by the great Midnight Oil. Released in 1990 - The lyrics for this song I think are growing more and more relevant! This band tackles realistic subject matter in their songs as appose to just the self expression of neurotic feelings. I have massive respect for the ability to write these kinds of songs. Catchy, great passionate music with passionate lyrics that apply to us all!
I really hope you enjoy this one and any feedback on what it did for you when you listened to it would be great!!
ENJOY!
Midnight Oil - Blue Sky Mine

 

This is a great song that addresses real problems within a society (Australia's treatment of Aboriginals). This is so clever and brave in my opinion to put your circumstantial privilege (white skin in the western world) & ideals out there over just capitalizing on your own career/talent for your own gain.
Enjoy!
