    You don't get something for nothing
    You can't have freedom for free.
    You won't get wise
    With the sleep still in your eyes
    No matter what your dream might be.
    -- Something for Nothing (1976)    .....Neil Peart

    *The scientists of today think deeply instead of clearly. One must be sane to think clearly, but one can think deeply and be quite INSANE*....Nikola Tesla(a man who shaped our world of electricity with his futuristic inventions)

    yes.
    i think it reaches much farther -
    i actually thought of myself as soon as i read it. Wondering how often do i actually "listen" just to understand and hear the person speaking to me.

    thanks.

    i saw that somewhere and i am trying to work a bastardization of that line into a song i am working on. i think it is a good theme for art because it is true. but if i really want to use it i am finding that i am gonna blow up the whole song and change the arrangement, or create something else.

    the quote is a very simple view of a complex emotion. and i like things like that. as people can tell from my posts, i am not great at being concise so i like concise statements like that.

    I agree with you. The idea could be used in a lot of ways.

    Put your songs up when they're done! :)

    You may as well put them up, gimme. You know what a relentless crowd we are. :lol:
    Besides, I'm guessing you are your own worst critic. ;)
