This video has it.  This music is so inspiring, and holds the listener in a place of being understood.  This is why I love art.

 

 

You are so right, artistic friend of mine.

Yeah! I love MUSE! :)

You know, I have had some funny thoughts lately. This song (below) really brough them into focus for me.

They have another neat one at youtube called Butterflies and Hurricanes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kL77M3SSMQM In the middle of the it, the lead singer (who sounds something like bono to me) breaks into Rachmaninov on the PIANO?! That is no easy feat. Their music interests me a good deal. I like the message in this second song, but it has a weird cadence...
Anyhoo, back to the weird thoughts.

I think I will do it this way:

MUSE LYRICS

"Starlight"

Far away
This ship is taking me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die

(I drove past friends old places, it was weird, they aren't there anymore but my heart is )

(I feel further away from people than ever-I am little understood and can't understand)


Starlight
I will be chasing the starlight
Until the end of my life
I don't know if it's worth it anymore


(I have been a dreamer, a drifter away from the shores of reality always)


Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms


(I wanted to be with a like soul, those loves I had were star crossed)


My life
You electrify my life
Let's conspire to re-ignite
All the souls that would die just to feel alive


(Inspiriation neccessitates contact with another...If one has no one to share it with "I don't know if its worth it anymore" you are just adrift in a sea of grey facelessness)


But I'll never let you go
If you promised not to fade away
Never fade away


(I am fiercely loyal, and I am incapable of understanding why people fade away-they can change but I will always love them, even if they are gone from me, but I miss them, its such a void-)


Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations


(Hopes-revelations - waking dreams Expectations, hoping so hard you believ

The existence of an observer O may be considered to be the origin of a coordinate plane representing the emotional and intellectual awareness of the observer. The measure of the development of the observer may be represented by a measure r as the radius of a circle drawn about O, with the area R bounded by this circle representing the emotional and intellectual awareness of the observer. For this reason, the plane may be called the plane of awareness.

The relationship of O to another entity O’ may be represented by locating O’ at a point on the plane of awareness, with the length of the line d drawn between O and O’ representing the perceived distance between the entities. The awareness of O’ is similarly represented by a circle drawn about O’ of radius r’ and area R’ likewise representing development and awareness respectively.

In any relationship of O and O’, the circles may intersect at no points, at a single point, or at two points. The case of congruent circles overlapping at infinitely many points can happen only when both O and O’ represent the same individual, which is considered a degenerate case, the discussion of which is beyond the scope of this exercise.

In situations where there is intersection between O and O’, a lens shaped area C is formed by the overlapping area bounded by the intersecting perimeters of O and O’. The measure of this area represents the emotional and intellectual bond between O and O’, and will vary with the distance d between individuals, as well as the relative radii rFriday, January 5th 2007 @ 9:31 PM
