    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.

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

    Bill Callahan eid ma clack shaw

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ghP3DD2t6s

    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)
    fuck 'em if they can't take a joke

    "what a long, strange trip it's been"

    Dreaming Me


    liberate the conscious

    release the subconscious

    free to be all of me



    with one mind

    to embrace the space

    the endless journey

    for whole thought



    a bigger spirit

    a stronger soul

    to be more

    than before

    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.

    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

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

    the coming of longer nights

    and cool daytime naps 8-)
