Introducing... The Cosmic Drummer



"We all march to the cadence of this cosmic drummer—our planetary heartbeat, which
sets the tempo for health and well-being."

"This universal motion carries us all onwards to a future beyond our imagination; the first breath of babies pulsates because of the universal rhythm; so does the earth in its seasonal changes and successions. The sun also expands and contracts, i.e. "breathes," according to the latest scientific discovery reports, and no doubt our home galaxy or Milky Way flows outward and returns inward to a center in so large a sweep of time that it may seem motionless to us. But the tiniest subparticle making up an atom of our physical body also must move to the beat of the cosmic drummer, as do all of us together."

And finally

Did you come up with this about the cosmic drummer? I can't find anything except the videos on YouTube.

I really started taking this seriously when I read "breathes" in quotations, especially since your post was written in August and this is now the cover of the "Just Breathe" single.

Wow. I never thought about its relation to 'just breathe'. Good one!
These are the links where those quotes were taken from.

Hope you find what you are looking for. I drove myself nuts until I finally uncovered the postcard reference Tom Tomorrow used to illustrate the astronaut. Ahh memories... Still my favorite of the nine illustrations. Got the T-shirt, too!!!

Thank you! I've got plenty to read now. Hope I'm smart enough to get some of it!

So. As far as I can figure out, No-one here has come up with the answer to the Red Dress.

I still think its from " The Who's song ' Pictures of Lilly '.

you know....."pictures of Lilly " is in reference to young mens masturbation.......I know this maybe crass, but that is what I'm thinking in ref to never knowing the" warmth and lingering ". She never gets her gear off even for bedtime,.....I reckon it's a racey poster of some classy woman.

Wow, in one way it feels like much longer than 4 years ago but in another it feels like just the other day. Such is life I guess.

Sharp observation... So maybe it was on the original tracklist, but just with the other songs they disregard sometimes: it didn't fit?

Just found this thread on the Pearl Jam subreddit. Very cool read.

Was the train thing solved? I lose track in this thread!

I always thought the train came from the Polar Express. And I thought it all related to the Fixer:

"When signals cross..." and "When somethings cold, let me put a little fire on it". Maybe why it's on fire?

Plus, with the Backspacer train, the big light is on. Well in the film the crew are all trying to repair the headlight. Fixing it!:

"When somethings dark, let me shed a little light on it"







Probably not though!

It's linked a few posts above yours - 'The Most Beautiful Suicide.' Google image search it, it's the exact same pic on Backspacer.
