Re: The Music Thread

Another song I've re-found is "Immortality" by Pearl Jam.  The lyrics (to which I can seriously relate) and EV's honest delivery make this one a classic for me:

MP3: www.expositus.net/music/13Immortality.mp3

Eddie Vedder, in "Immortality", wrote:

Vacate is the word...vengeance has no place on me or her
Cannot find the comfort in this world
Artificial tear...vessel stabbed...next up, volunteers
Vulnerable, wisdom can't adhere...
A truant finds home...and a wish to hold on...
But there's a trapdoor in the sun...

Immortality...

As privileged as a whore...victims in demand for public show
Swept out through the cracks beneath the door
Holier than thou, how?
Surrendered...executed anyhow
Scrawl dissolved, cigar box on the floor...
A truant finds home...and a wish to hold on too...
He saw the trapdoor in the sun...

I cannot stop the thought...I'm running in the dark...
Coming up a which way sign...all good truants must decide...
Oh, stripped and sold, mom...auctioned forearm...
And whiskers in the sink...
Truants move on...cannot stay long
Some die just to live...
Ohh...

Re: The Music Thread

From Dark Side Of The Moon by Pink Floyd, Brain Damage/Eclipse.
Check out the symbology in this video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzBc04PA24g

Brain Damage

The lunatic is on the grass.
The lunatic is on the grass.
Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs.
Got to keep the loonies on the path.

The lunatic is in the hall.
The lunatics are in my hall.
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor
And every day the paper boy brings more.

And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon.

The lunatic is in my head.
The lunatic is in my head
You raise the blade, you make the change
You re-arrange me 'til I'm sane.
You lock the door
And throw away the key
There's someone in my head but it's not me.

And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear
You shout and no one seems to hear.
And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon.

"I can't think of anything to say except...
I think it's marvelous! HaHaHa!"


Eclipse

All that you touch
All that you see
All that you taste
All you feel.
All that you love
All that you hate
All you distrust
All you save.
All that you give
All that you deal
All that you buy,
beg, borrow or steal.
All you create
All you destroy
All that you do
All that you say.
All that you eat
And everyone you meet
All that you slight
And everyone you fight.
All that is now
All that is gone
All that's to come
and everything under the sun is in tune
but the sun is eclipsed by the moon.

"There is no dark side of the moon really. Matter of fact it's all dark."

Its not like we are fractions of the whole but rather versions of the whole.

It is of prime importance to recognize that just about everything we've been taught to expect as "normal" in our lives is the stuff of fairy tales and unrealistic dreams.

Re: The Music Thread

Something else to suggest that you check out. My friend just introduced me to a band called "R ¶yksopp". I don't know if this has been on television or is really mainstream or not... But I thought their song+video called "What Else Is There?" was kind of haunting/epic/neato. You can view the video by going to their site:

http://www.royksopp.com/

I had to have javascript enabled for this site, click their logo, and a window popped up, and then I could select videos from the menu. I had to actually launch WMP to play it, but there is a realplayer link also (I have the real alternative installed as part of k-lite codec pack and it kept saying it couldn't render the files)...

If you have trouble understanding the lyrics, I found a copy here.

I just found it and haven't put enough thought into what the lyrics are trying to convey... Anyways, something about this song jumps out at me as being more interesting or better than anything else I've heard come out in a while. Sort of reminiscent of Bjork too IMO...

BTW plasticportal: I'm listening now to the 1st mix from that FinRG site. I like it. Sounds like regular trance sped up (not the cheese-mo epic trance crap, but the cool trance that got played at some raves). I'm into this now, so I'm gonna get all those mixes, thanks for the tip.

Re: The Music Thread

category of music (i wouldn't categorize it, but): "other / indie / healing & easy listening", the band name is: "WomanMachine" ... i'm really feelin' "SunDial Demo" & "Math Students" ...

edit: oops - forgot to source it: http://www.myspace.com/womanmachine

For any metal fans I'm listening to a band called Kreator and they are sounding good in the first 3 songs i've listened to.

Re: The Music Thread

I have to say WOW!!

Ok, previously I wrote many times rock - especially progressive and symphonic rock - is the best music and hip-hop, rap, clubbin etc sucks enormously. But I was not ready for this (sorry if it's meant before on NR);

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9fX9qeLMUM

So the group is Jedi Mind Tricks which I've not heard before and here's the lyrics, really reaaally good.


"Perhaps you will believe the million feet of film that's been taken above...
uh... Mexico City, and various other places
If you think that you are alone in this universe
or that you are the guardians of this universe, then you are rudely mistaken"

[El Eloh from Lost Children of Babylon]

Took a physical odyssey
To the fathers of Shabazz
With the shamans of the Cherokees
Arrived in Nevada, 10 miles away from NASA
Met the farmer, in which he revealed to me the
Ohioan crop circles that linked all the star constellations
To 19th galaxy... The metaphysists
That quote the Roswell
New Mexican deserts of death valley
Will he be, extraterrestrial biological entity
discovering extraordinary memories
Glided across Glassland
Suddenly seeing illuminations from the seven heavens circle of sand
Of Area 51 and 57, separate the schoolkid and reveal the reptilian

I seen the CIA transform into the species of Greys
The Sabbath seven adding up to seven levels of the Majestic 12
Neoclassic traveller
I Travel the Twilight Zone with Einstein and Nikola Tesla
Walk through the wilderness of Ibilis
as the flying disc, of Ezekiel
the pope stands upon the podium
Becomes a Zeta Reticulian
behold the arrival of the Elohim ..."


[IKon the Verbal Hologram]

...Beware the prophecies of the Tarots!
Alien Spacecraft flying away like Sparrows!
Study the lost prophetic books of the bible
That recites Fallen body energies: spiritual survival
Flying discs seen in Ezekiel 1:3
Granted Kingu a tablet of destinies
Seviates spoke the word of the Bavarian illuminati
I bring forth harmonics of Hiroshima and Nagasaki!

Annunaki planted the seed where I dwell
either vortex turbines pulling me to hell
awareness upon my savannah as omni dimensional
great species has a common memory complex of the social
liquid crystal colloidal membranes responding
to the spectrum of the universal intelligence matrix...

the basis is that extraterrestrials created Christ
and have a device
that recorded all of Earth's history
and can display it in the form of a hologram precise;

Construction of synthetic humanoids is among us
You have entered the Land Of Nod now, face the deafening thunders
And the spiritual wonders
because the harvest now is coming

Beware the world-wide ancient tunnel system
the government is running
Hectic! Verbal slaughter of the Judeo-Christian Ethic!


[El Eloh]

The world has turned on its last spin
The coming of Tan- That is when ya learn! (x2)


[El Eloh]

Fled with the 5, led through a European wooded ravine
And seen Stone henge connect and bring upon the Annunaki
The Highest kabbalah mystic chants by Elohim
And looks to the sky for prophecy
Was abducted in Nebraska
Then taken back to the laboratory, experiment performed before me
Non earthly alien autopsy!
Psycho social biological and electro-
-Magnetic manipulation of human consciousness
The Vulcan walks about the abyss!


[IKon the Verbal Hologram]

The Verbal Hologram: Wordal killer like Shark eyes
Speak Babylonian and Hebrew genesis like the Star Gods
Blessed by Biaviians like the French theologians
Anti-Christ is coming in the form of a powerful Roman!
Development of Aid’s was funded in 1969
For the seven (G-7)
and injected into 100 million Africans in ‘77
Cuneiform inscriptions in Western Asia of the Nabu
Dwell in hell, celestial bodies : twelve like Kathabu
But I can rob you of your spirit soul like Xenu
Elders imprisoned, negative Para-physical beings we knew
Function outside the time-track like Ississani
I chose to be enclosed and I fold too, like Origami
Comprehend the theory of reflection like Paromatma
In the epic Sanskrit history of the world like Mahabharata
Praise to His Divine Grace AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada


[Chorus]


[Riley Martin]

"If you stood above the stratosphere and downloaded 7 gigawatts of negative ions
into the turbines would this not disrupt the..electromagnetic flow?"

C'mon people! You make hip-hop! You have to talk about money & fame & sex & chicks only! As morningsun said on some other thread "it's against my principles to believe" hip-hop can say these.

Re: The Music Thread

I stumbled across this girl on Myspace.  Her and the other girl in the songs have the most beautiful voices, but the music is very forlorn.  Grey Teeth, and Born to Die are the most Melodic, listen for the harmony between the two female voices.

Re: The Music Thread

I woke up to Radio 1 this morning to hear Starz in their eyes by Just Jack and it made my day. So I myseriously find his album Overtones on the net and my day gets even better. I think you can listen to the first 30 seconds of each song on amazon.co.uk

And November Rain by Guns n Roses has that not been mentioned?

Re: The Music Thread

Since I'm new, Hello everyone...

Anyway, I'm really impressed by this french band "Alcest"
Which blend rough underground "romanticized" Black Metal.
Don't be afraid to give it a listen if you detest the genre, it's like nothing you've ever heard.
Great music, and VERY original.
There are only 2 samples you can listen to here.
