Dream A Little Dream With Me

pandora

I dreamed last night you wanted to change me...

that Love wasn't strong enough to hold.

As clear as here, I walked and ran, watching the time tick away.

I was strong again, moved with flight, leaving the old bones behind.

Tears they dried, I returned, found you by my side.

Found our Love by my side...

strong enough to hold.

Powerful and lovely - a rare combination

Bill Callahan ..."show me the way to shake a memory"

Bill Callahan eid ma clack shaw

Working through death's pain

Last night I swear I felt your touch
Gentle and warm
The hair stood on my arms
How, how, how?

Show me the way, show me the way, show me the way
To shake a memory

I flipped my forelock, I twitched my withers, I reared and bucked
I could not put my rider aground
All these fine memories are fuckin' me down

I dreamed it was a dream that you were gone
I woke up feeling so ripped by reality
Love is the king of the beasts
And when it gets hungry it must kill to eat
Love is the king of the beasts
A lion walking down city streets

I fell back asleep some time later on
And I dreamed the perfect song
It held all the answers, like hands laid on

I woke halfway and scribbled it down
And in the morning what I wrote I read
It was hard to read at first but here's what it said

Eid ma clack shaw
Zupoven del ba
Mertepy ven seinur
Cofally ragdah

Show me the way, show me the way, show me the way
To shake a memory


A great interpretation...


Eid Ma Clack Shaw, as I hear it, is split into two parts. The narrator has two separate but equally important dreams. In the first dream, he has a dream in which his departed lover — by death or other means — visits him. That dream shakes the narrator, in such a profound manner that he is awakened. He wishes that there were a way to rid himself of such painful memories.

That dream leads into the second part of the song. The narrator falls back asleep and is suddenly inspired to compose the most perfect song. This song, he says, contains all the answers — perhaps how to rid himself of memories. He then somewhat awakens and manages to write down the lyrics to this song that he has written in the dream — but then when he fully awakens, he has scribbled the following:

Eid ma clack shaw
Zupoven del ba
Mertepy ven seinur
Cofally ragdah

He ends the song by repeating his desire to be able to rid himself of memories and he reminds us of the song that he wrote in his dream.

What can we do with knowledge that we learn in dreams?

Can we ever hope to take the knowledge outside of the dreams?

Or is it just that there is nothing really new in our dreams since they are created by our own brains and we should be able to find the knowledge if we can but delve into our own mindspace somehow?

In an interview with Uncut magazine, Mr. Callahan was asked about writing songs in dreams.

Have you ever “dreamed the perfect song”?

"I have dreamed melodies that made my heart weep and I have dreamed lyrics that would shatter the world. When I wake they run back into the woods."




What are your thoughts on the song and capturing dreams?

The ocean came to me last night.
You ask why....

I had to wash away.

It came powerful, ceaseless.

Loud, too loud, rushing in my ears.
It drowned the cries of the birds,
my birds.

Water filled the streets, taking the sunset.
Gathering my life and moving it away,
far and away.

The sun rose on my new day,
peaceful, lovely, quiet.

I see a hummingbird sitting at the feeder,
so tiny yet so tough.
And my feeders need to be filled,
before the Deluge.

this is my absolute favorite of this dream epic

(and ditto dearest pandora on your "love you guys" post)

Love awaits tonight,
in that dream, never elusive as the others.

Time and again,
it returns to ease my heavy heart, warm and safe.

And when I awake, I smile, I laugh.
The pain of yesterday gone, for now, for today.

And the hope to dream again, remains.

Yeah man

pandora

the days tick down

until i won't see you again

life is like a raffle

love is too

sometimes you win

sometimes you don't

sometimes you win someone else's want

and they in turn claim what you need

sometimes you never even buy a ticket....

this your fate and the game plays on

Stoned Spider


startled awake

only minutes passed

where is it I went?

nasty not so little

stoned spider

on the patio

choosen spot to hide

in the open

flat like a rock

marbled in a two tone

nasty little stoned spider

so the battle begins

legs extended

all eyes

on me

you are quick

you can fly

I can not

I don't want to

play God

and squash you

I wouldn't want

God

to do that to me

but I am not a threat

to God

or am I?



Are we all?



The welt on my leg festers

I swallowed

something

in my morning coffee

it is stuck

in my throat....

nasty little stoned spider

is here to stay

for the day

Rumour....Table of Ten


Rumour....Table of Ten




echos in the space,

a small room, a big table

a table for Ten

whispers loud, eyes many, lips wet with lies

the stench of Rumour hangs in the air


hearts bleed red against a white tablecloth

Death by word of mouth

Injustice the final burial

Am liking these last two a lot!

Godfather.

forever comes a day
forever face the love that I feel
forever just to live behind your smile
forever just to touch the sun.

thanks!

I guess it is a sleepy time of the year...
the coming of longer nights

and cool daytime naps

my waking dislikes make into my dreams
