Well you say I’m crazy cause I can’t make up my mind
But I wont let it faze me instead I'll leave all these thoughts behind
Cause you say that you got some one who’s wasting your time
Well that’s alright cause I got someone who’s wasting mine...
....It aint my fault I’m falling
Cause you got what it takes
Earthquakes couldn’t shake this
Foundation that were building off of
but a long time I waited but I never lose faith
I meet someone like you yea I’m crazy,
people beg, always searching for balance
sometimes I choose right or wrong
you know its just a challenge but gemini if we try
you and I,
we will find all the time we wasted
just trying to find each other
Yea
Peanut butter jelly, bread and butter
It’s in the way you move
Baby what you’re doing to me
I can’t stand it I can’t hold back
Every time I see you get beautiful, beautiful
It’s in the way you do
Baby what you’re doing to me
The way you shine, strum your cords, the way you're mine
The way you sing your words...
*sigh* love this one for so many reasons.
"I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"
I will be there for you if it all crumbles down
And I will be there for you when your feet touch the ground
I'll clear the earth for you if you need the stars to dream
And I'll make a flame for you to keep your spirit clean
My Angel, My Mystery Angel
You were there for me when I couldn't find myself
Opened a door for me when there seemed no way out
And you were there with me when I was too young to see
Bringing music through with your wisdom and peace
My Angel, My Mystery Angel
Looking back now I don't think I'll ever understand
Universe offers balance on many different hands
Take some time just to sit with each one just to see
Patiently the right one will hold on 'till you're free
My Angel, My Mystery Angel
"I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"
See the curtains hangin' in the window, in the evenin' on a Friday night.
A little light a-shinin' through the window, lets me know everything is alright.
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind.
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind.
See the paper layin' on the sidewalk, a little music from the house next door.
So I walked on up to the doorstep, through the screen and across the floor.
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind.
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind.
Sweet days of summer, the jasmine's in bloom. July is dressed up and playing her tune.
And I come home from a hard day's work, and you're waiting there, not a care in the world.
See the smile a-waitin' in the kitchen, food cookin' and the plates for two.
Feel the arms that reach out to hold me, in the evening when the day is through.
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind.
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind...
Look out of any window
any morning, any evening, any day
Maybe the sun is shining
birds are singing, no rain is falling from a heavy sky
What do you want me to do
to do for you to see you through?
For this is all a dream we dreamed
one afternoon, long ago
Walk out of any doorway
feel your way, feel your way, like the day before
Maybe you'll find direction
Around some corner where it's been waiting to meet you
What do you want me to do
to watch for you while you are sleeping?
then please don't be surprised
when you find me dreaming too
Look into any eyes
you find by you, you can see clear to another day
maybe been seen before
through other eyes on other days while going home
What do you want me to do
to do for you to see you through?
It's all a dream we dreamed
one afternoon, long ago
Walk into splintered sunlight
Inch your way through dead dreams to another land
Maybe you're tired and broken
Your tongue is twisted with words half spoken and thoughts unclear
What do you want me to do
to do for you to see you through?
A box of rain will ease the pain
and love will see you through
Just a box of rain
wind and water
Believe it if you need it
if you don't, just pass it on
Sun and shower
wind and rain
In and out the window
like a moth before a flame
And it's just a box of rain
I don't know who put it there
believe it if you need it
or leave it if you dare
And it's
just a box of rain
or a ribbon for your hair
Such a long long time to be gone
and a short time to be there
I knew a girl
Her name was truth
She was a horrible liar.
She couldn't spend one day alone
But she couldn't be satisfied.
When you have everything,
You have everything to lose.
She made herself
A bed of nails
And she's plannin' on puttin' it to use.
Cause she had diamonds on the inside
She had diamonds on the inside
She had diamonds on the inside
Diamonds
A candle throws its light into the darkness
In a nasty world,so shines the good deed
Make sure the fortune, that you seek
Is the fortune you need.
So tell me why,the first to ask,is the last to give, every time
What you say and do not mean
Follow too close behind
Cause she had diamonds on the inside
She had diamonds on the inside
She wore diamonds on the inside
Diamonds
Like a soldier standing long under fire
Any change comes as a relief.
Let the giver's name remain unspoken
For she is just a generous thief.
But she had diamonds on the inside
Cause she had diamonds on the inside
She wore diamonds on the inside
She wore diamonds
Oh diamonds
She had diamonds
She wore diamonds
Diamonds
“There should be a place where only the things you want to happen, happen”
I've cried 1000 oceans
And if it seems
I'm floating in the darkness
Well, I can't believe that I would keep
Keep you from flying
And I would cry 1000 more
If that's what it takes
To sail you home
Sail you home
Sail you home.....
Joy to the world, your arms kept me warm
Night after night, in such a cold world
Hear the bell strike, old pictures instead
Tell me the past is filling my head
You said then
"I just want to spend a silent night with you"
With you
A silent night with you ....
Netflix is great! Last night I watched two music documentaries. One about Glenn Gould, and one about Wilco. Here's a Wilco song.
"Side With The Seeds"
Tires type black
Where the blacktop cracks
Weeds spark through
Dark green enough to be blue
When the mysteries we believe in
Aren't dreamed enough to be true
Some side with the leaves
Some side with the seeds
The treetops nod
the rain applauds
The park grows dark
And the swings all slowly die
But you and I will be undefeated
by agreeing to disagree
No one wins but the thieves
so why side with anything
The streetlights glow
Comes and goes
When the sun comes back
As we all can plainly see
Embracing the situation
Is our only chance to be free
I'll side with you
If you side with me
Who can guess the secret of the sea?
Who can guess the secret of the sea?
If you can guess the secret of my love for you
Then we both could know the secret of the sea
Tell me could you ever tell the secret of the sea?
These high rolling waves along the shore
The footprints of the lovers that come here to love
By the tides washed away forever more
Who can guess the secret of the sea?
Who can guess the secret of the sea?
If you can guess the secret of my love for you
Then we both could know the secret of the sea
You claim to know the secret of a kiss and a hug
The secret of the grass and of the trees
If you can tell the secret of a warm friend's hand
Then we all would feel the secrets of the sea
Who can guess the secret of the sea?
Who can guess the secret of the sea?
If you can guess the secret of my love for you
Then we both could know the secret of the sea
We both could know the secret of the sea
If you feel like singing a song
And you want other people to sing along
Just sing what you feel
Don't let anyone say it's wrong
And if you're trying to paint a picture
But you're not sure which colors belong
Just paint what you see
Don't let anyone say it's wrong
And if you're strung out like a kite
Or stung awake in the night
It's alright to be frightened
When there's a light (what light)
There's a light (one light)
There's a light (white light)
Inside of you
If you think you might need somebody
To pick you up when you drag
Don't loose sight of yourself
Don't let anyone change your bag
And if the whole world's singing your songs
And all of your paintings have been hung
Just remember what was yours is everyone's from now on
And that's not wrong or right
But you can struggle with it all you like
You'll only get uptight
Because there's a light (what light)
There's a light (one light)
There's a light (white light)
There's a light (what light)
There's a light (one light)
There's a light (white light)
There's a light (what light)
There's a light (one light)
There's a light (white light)
There's a light (what light)
There's a light (one light)
There's a light (white light)
Inside of you
And each day I learn just a little bit more
I don't know why but I do know what for
If we're all going somewhere let's get there soon
Oh this song's got no title just words and a tune
On the bank of the river
Stood Running Bear
Young Indian brave
On the other side of the river
Stood his lovely Indian maid
Little White Dove was her name
Such a lovely sight to see
But their tribes fought with each other
So their love could never be
Running Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love big as the sky
Running Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love that couldn't die
He couldn't swim the raging river
'Cause the river was too wide
He couldn't reach the Little White Dove
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight he could see her
Throwing kisses 'cross the waves
Her little heart was beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave
Running Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love big as the sky
Running Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love that couldn't die
Running Bear dove in the water
Little White Dove did the same
And they swam out to each other
Through the swirling stream they came
As their hands touched and their lips met
The raging river pulled them down
Now they'll always be together
In their happy hunting ground
If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics
I would tell you that sometimes it’s easier to desire
and pursue the attention and admiration of 100 strangers
than it is to accept the love and loyalty
of those closest to me
And I would tell you that sometimes
I prefer to look at myself
through someone else’s eyes
Eyes that aren’t clouded with the tears of knowing
what an asshole I can be, as yours are.
If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics
I might be able to listen in silence to your concerns
rather than hearing everything as an accusation
or an indictment against me
I would tell you that sometimes
I use sex to avoid communication
it’s the best escape when we’re down on our luck
But I can express more emotions than laughter, anger, and let’s fuck.....

If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics
I would tell you that I pooped in my own dog dish
And sometimes I would rather face not eating
than face licking it clean
And admitting when I’m selfish
And I’d tell you that I’m suffering
from the worst type of loneliness
The loneliness of being misunderstood,
or more poignantly
the loneliness of being afraid
to allow myself to be understood
If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics
I would tell you that the personal revolution
is far more difficult
and is the first step in any revolution
If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics
If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics
If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics
If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics
I would tell you that music is the expression of emotion
And that politics is merely the decoy of perception.
That's exactly what politics is a mere decoy of our perceptions.

Wasn't I good to you?
Didn't I show it?
And if I ever hurt you,
I didn't know it
if you think I don't care
Then you're mistaken
My love was always there
But now my heart's breakin'
Oh, baby
oh, what a cryin' shame http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aS-oiFwS ... re=related
To let it all slip away
And call it yesterday
Oh, baby
my life would be so blue
My heart would break in two
Oh, what a cryin' shame
'Cause I believed in you
From the beginning
I thought our love was true
But now it's all ending
Oh, baby
oh, what a cryin' shame
To let it all slip away
And call it yesterday
Oh, baby
my life would be so blue
My heart would break in two
Oh, what a cryin' shame
I'm not gonna beg you for nothing
I'm not gonna beg you for your love
Straight talk, give me the straight talk
Tell me what's on your mind if it ain't love
I'm not gonna beg you for nothing
I'm not gonna beg you for your love
Scared now, what are you scared of?
Afraid I might fall on my knees and break down?
I'm not gonna beg you for nothing
I'm not gonna beg you for your love
Don't you think you can take me for a pretty little ride
I know "once upon a time" and "ever after" is a lie
I'm not gonna beg
I'm not gonna beg
I'm not gonna beg you for nothing at all
There's nothing I want from you
Nothing you can say or do
There is nothing I want for you say anyway
I'm not gonna beg you for nothing
I'm not gonna beg you for your love
woke up in a ditch with a bitches grin
to the sound of the present tense
how many soundchecks can a man ignore
til he turns into a shadow of himself?
ive got nothing left but an autograph
and the strangest sense of doubt
i think the name belongs ot me
but someone else is living with it
i am the least of your problems
but i dont mind
- i am the least of your problems
future of the left
I can see very well
There's a boat on the reef with a broken back
And I can see it very well
There's a joke and I know it very well
It's one of those that I told you long ago
Take my word I'm a madman don't you know
Once a fool had a good part in the play
If it's so would I still be here today
It's quite peculiar in a funny sort of way
They think it's very funny everything I say
Get a load of him, he's so insane
You better get your coat dear
It looks like rain
We'll come again next Thursday afternoon
The In-laws hope they'll see you very soon
But is it in your conscience that you're after
Another glimpse of the madman across the water
I can see very well
There's a boat on the reef with a broken back
And I can see it very well
There's a joke and I know it very well
It's one of those that I told you long ago
Take my word I'm a madman don't you know
The ground's a long way down but I need more
Is the nightmare black
or are the windows painted
Will they come again next week
Can my mind really take it
Comments
But I wont let it faze me instead I'll leave all these thoughts behind
Cause you say that you got some one who’s wasting your time
Well that’s alright cause I got someone who’s wasting mine...
....It aint my fault I’m falling
Cause you got what it takes
Earthquakes couldn’t shake this
Foundation that were building off of
but a long time I waited but I never lose faith
I meet someone like you yea I’m crazy,
people beg, always searching for balance
sometimes I choose right or wrong
you know its just a challenge but gemini if we try
you and I,
we will find all the time we wasted
just trying to find each other
Yea
Peanut butter jelly, bread and butter
It’s in the way you move
Baby what you’re doing to me
I can’t stand it I can’t hold back
Every time I see you get beautiful, beautiful
It’s in the way you do
Baby what you’re doing to me
The way you shine, strum your cords, the way you're mine
The way you sing your words...
*sigh* love this one for so many reasons.
And I will be there for you when your feet touch the ground
I'll clear the earth for you if you need the stars to dream
And I'll make a flame for you to keep your spirit clean

"The Prettiest Thing"
The prettiest thing
I ever did see
Was lightening from the top of a cloud
Moving through the dark a million miles an hour
With somewhere to be
So why does it seem
Like a picture
Hanging up on someone else's wall
Lately I haven't been myself at all
It's heavy on my mind
I'm dreaming again
Like I've always been
And way down low
I know
The prettiest thing
I ever did see
Was dusty as the handle on the door
Rusty as a nail stuck in the old pine floor
Looks like home to me
I'm dreaming again
Like I've always been
And way down low
I'm thinkin' of the prettiest thing
A little light a-shinin' through the window, lets me know everything is alright.
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind.
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind.
See the paper layin' on the sidewalk, a little music from the house next door.
So I walked on up to the doorstep, through the screen and across the floor.

And I come home from a hard day's work, and you're waiting there, not a care in the world.

Feel the arms that reach out to hold me, in the evening when the day is through.

But she had diamonds on the inside
Cause she had diamonds on the inside
She wore diamonds on the inside
She wore diamonds
Oh diamonds
She had diamonds
She wore diamonds
Diamonds
That you touched me before
All the trembling sweetness
I loved and adored?
Your face saving promises
Whispered like prayers
I don't need them
No, I don't need them
O, I need
The darkness
The sweetness
The sadness
The weakness
I need this
I need
A lullaby
A kiss goodnight
The angel sweet
Love of my life
I need this
Is it dark enough?
Can you see me?
Do you want me?
Can you reach me?
Or I'm leaving
You better shut your mouth
Hold your breath
Kiss me now you'll catch my death
O, I mean it ....
No one can see
The smoke from the sweet grass
Covers me
I am drawn
I am drawn to her
Like a moth to flame
She leads me down
Unbound
I am lost
I am lost
Has anybody seen me
I am lost
Oh nothing is forgotten
Only left behind
Wherever I am
She leads me down
Unbound
No borders
No fences
No walls
No borders
No fences
Unbound
Oh, listen for the night chant
Oh, listen for the night chant
Like a moth to flame
She leads me down
Unbound
No borders
No fences
Unbound
No borders
No fences
Unbound
Unbound
And if it seems
I'm floating in the darkness
Well, I can't believe that I would keep
Keep you from flying
And I would cry 1000 more
If that's what it takes
To sail you home
Sail you home
Sail you home.....
on my back door some day
Night after night, in such a cold world
Hear the bell strike, old pictures instead
Tell me the past is filling my head
You said then
"I just want to spend a silent night with you"
With you
A silent night with you ....
And My Time To Stand It Free
This is Myself, This is My day
In a world that's never safe
It's Ok, It's Ok...
You Know I love You AnyWay
It's Ok, It's Ok...
you don't Have to run and Hide Away
"Side With The Seeds"
Tires type black
Where the blacktop cracks
Weeds spark through
Dark green enough to be blue
When the mysteries we believe in
Aren't dreamed enough to be true
Some side with the leaves
Some side with the seeds
The treetops nod
the rain applauds
The park grows dark
And the swings all slowly die
But you and I will be undefeated
by agreeing to disagree
No one wins but the thieves
so why side with anything
The streetlights glow
Comes and goes
When the sun comes back
As we all can plainly see
Embracing the situation
Is our only chance to be free
I'll side with you
If you side with me
"Secrets Of The Sea"
Who can guess the secret of the sea?
Who can guess the secret of the sea?
If you can guess the secret of my love for you
Then we both could know the secret of the sea
Tell me could you ever tell the secret of the sea?
These high rolling waves along the shore
The footprints of the lovers that come here to love
By the tides washed away forever more
Who can guess the secret of the sea?
Who can guess the secret of the sea?
If you can guess the secret of my love for you
Then we both could know the secret of the sea
You claim to know the secret of a kiss and a hug
The secret of the grass and of the trees
If you can tell the secret of a warm friend's hand
Then we all would feel the secrets of the sea
Who can guess the secret of the sea?
Who can guess the secret of the sea?
If you can guess the secret of my love for you
Then we both could know the secret of the sea
We both could know the secret of the sea
before you let my deal go down
"What Light"
If you feel like singing a song
And you want other people to sing along
Just sing what you feel
Don't let anyone say it's wrong
And if you're trying to paint a picture
But you're not sure which colors belong
Just paint what you see
Don't let anyone say it's wrong
And if you're strung out like a kite
Or stung awake in the night
It's alright to be frightened
When there's a light (what light)
There's a light (one light)
There's a light (white light)
Inside of you
If you think you might need somebody
To pick you up when you drag
Don't loose sight of yourself
Don't let anyone change your bag
And if the whole world's singing your songs
And all of your paintings have been hung
Just remember what was yours is everyone's from now on
And that's not wrong or right
But you can struggle with it all you like
You'll only get uptight
Because there's a light (what light)
There's a light (one light)
There's a light (white light)
There's a light (what light)
There's a light (one light)
There's a light (white light)
There's a light (what light)
There's a light (one light)
There's a light (white light)
There's a light (what light)
There's a light (one light)
There's a light (white light)
Inside of you
running off the rails I'll sail you through the rogue waves of your brain
If I could bring a light to shine upon the dark and disobeying
night so young but I still say we're too old for cliches
Oh I can only dream of the dreams we'd share if you were so inclined
I would love to be the one to open up your mind
I don't know why but I do know what for
If we're all going somewhere let's get there soon
Oh this song's got no title just words and a tune
Stood Running Bear
Young Indian brave
On the other side of the river
Stood his lovely Indian maid
Little White Dove was her name
Such a lovely sight to see
But their tribes fought with each other
So their love could never be
Running Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love big as the sky
Running Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love that couldn't die
He couldn't swim the raging river
'Cause the river was too wide
He couldn't reach the Little White Dove
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight he could see her
Throwing kisses 'cross the waves
Her little heart was beating faster
Waiting for her Indian brave
Running Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love big as the sky
Running Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love that couldn't die
Running Bear dove in the water
Little White Dove did the same
And they swam out to each other
Through the swirling stream they came
As their hands touched and their lips met
The raging river pulled them down
Now they'll always be together
In their happy hunting ground
Light is dancing like a flame
Let's go waltzing on the water
Let's go under again
i'm like a tab
I will give you what
you're not 'sposed to have

Michael Franti with The Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy, 1992

*MUSIC IS the expression of EMOTION.....and that POLITICS IS merely the DECOY of PERCEPTION*
.....song_Music & Politics....Michael Franti
*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)
I would tell you that I pooped in my own dog dish
And sometimes I would rather face not eating
than face licking it clean
And admitting when I’m selfish
And I’d tell you that I’m suffering
from the worst type of loneliness
The loneliness of being misunderstood,
or more poignantly
the loneliness of being afraid
to allow myself to be understood
If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics
I would tell you that the personal revolution
is far more difficult
and is the first step in any revolution
If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics
If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics
If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics
If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics
I would tell you that music is the expression of emotion
And that politics is merely the decoy of perception.
That's exactly what politics is a mere decoy of our perceptions.

Gonna take a dip in the lake
Oh, I'm at a crossroads with myself
I don't got no one else
And possibilities at the door
I won't be needing them anymore
Oh, is this the first time in your life?
It's hard just to get by
But oh, my love, don't you even know?
And oh, my love, are you really gone?
Ooooh
And can you see the world through a window?
Are you having troubles in droves?
Oh, it ain't the worst thing I could do
Is get back home to you
I put a bullet in my Kia Lorenzo
A kitchen knife up to my face
Throw me in the deep of Jenner Lake
Believe me when I say
That oh, my love, you don't even call
And oh, my love, is that you on the phone?
Ooooh
...
And oh, my love, you don't even know
That oh, my love, are you really gone?
Ooooh
Didn't I show it?
And if I ever hurt you,
I didn't know it
if you think I don't care
Then you're mistaken
My love was always there
But now my heart's breakin'
Oh, baby
oh, what a cryin' shame http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aS-oiFwS ... re=related
To let it all slip away
And call it yesterday
Oh, baby
my life would be so blue
My heart would break in two
Oh, what a cryin' shame
'Cause I believed in you
From the beginning
I thought our love was true
But now it's all ending
Oh, baby
oh, what a cryin' shame
To let it all slip away
And call it yesterday
Oh, baby
my life would be so blue
My heart would break in two
Oh, what a cryin' shame
Oh, what a cryin' shame
Oh, what a cryin' shame
I'm not gonna beg you for nothing
I'm not gonna beg you for your love
Straight talk, give me the straight talk
Tell me what's on your mind if it ain't love
I'm not gonna beg you for nothing
I'm not gonna beg you for your love
Scared now, what are you scared of?
Afraid I might fall on my knees and break down?
I'm not gonna beg you for nothing
I'm not gonna beg you for your love
Don't you think you can take me for a pretty little ride
I know "once upon a time" and "ever after" is a lie
I'm not gonna beg
I'm not gonna beg
I'm not gonna beg you for nothing at all
There's nothing I want from you
Nothing you can say or do
There is nothing I want for you say anyway
I'm not gonna beg you for nothing
I'm not gonna beg you for your love
to the sound of the present tense
how many soundchecks can a man ignore
til he turns into a shadow of himself?
ive got nothing left but an autograph
and the strangest sense of doubt
i think the name belongs ot me
but someone else is living with it
i am the least of your problems
but i dont mind
- i am the least of your problems
future of the left

take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
There's a boat on the reef with a broken back
And I can see it very well
There's a joke and I know it very well
It's one of those that I told you long ago
Take my word I'm a madman don't you know
Once a fool had a good part in the play
If it's so would I still be here today
It's quite peculiar in a funny sort of way
They think it's very funny everything I say
Get a load of him, he's so insane
You better get your coat dear
It looks like rain
We'll come again next Thursday afternoon
The In-laws hope they'll see you very soon
But is it in your conscience that you're after
Another glimpse of the madman across the water
I can see very well
There's a boat on the reef with a broken back
And I can see it very well
There's a joke and I know it very well
It's one of those that I told you long ago
Take my word I'm a madman don't you know
The ground's a long way down but I need more
Is the nightmare black
or are the windows painted
Will they come again next week
Can my mind really take it
I don't need to fight
To prove I'm right
I don't need to be forgiven.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
