Now

When there’s no way out there’s still a way through
So don’t give up whatever you do
Surrender to moments and things as they are
From the gaps in your catch-22’s
When there’s no way out there’s still a way through

Cause Now’s all there is
So peaceful and still
In Now you don’t worry ‘bout what’s happened or what will
Cause Now never ends
And Now’s never been
And all of your answers are waiting for you here Now

When your world stands tough and weighin’ you down
And you’ve had enough of this merry-go-round
End your resistance to walls you won’t move
And runnin’ through old déjà vu’s
When there’s no way out there’s still a way through

Cause Now’s all there is
So peaceful and still
In Now you don’t worry ‘bout what’s happened or what will
Cause Now never ends
And Now’s never been
And all of your answers are waiting for you here Now

And when you don’t understand
How things got so far away from all you planned
And your life it feels so hard
In your fragile house of cards
Turn to your cornerstone when you’re tired and feel alone
To find your way through

Cause Now’s all there is
So peaceful and still
In Now you don’t worry ‘bout what’s happened or what will
Cause Now never ends
And Now’s never been
And all of your answers are waiting for you here Now

Enjoy, music for the Soul. This video featured in our column.

The Rain

You say you love me
But then you turn and walk away
All for love
Not even born yesterday
I see you on the streets
And you just pass me by
You think I got no feelings
Think I’m living high
But let me tell ya
I could be on the TV
I could be in them magazines
But it’s never enough
When you felt the touch
Of an angel that’s rocking your soul

When the rain comes down
You’re never around
But when the sun comes up
You always steal the fire
And rain comes down
On this side of town
But people have no feelings
They just run around

They just, they just
We keep chasing dollars
It’s making me holler
I just don’t know
I don’t need a check
I need some respect
So people you know
And the war
And the babies crying
And the car
And the house
And the rings
And the things that don’t mean nothing
You could try to hate
‘Cause if I am right your right down
But I’m here to elevate
I’ll be floating in outer space now

When the rain comes down
Will you be around?
When the sun comes up
Will you always steal my fire?
And rain comes down
On this side of town
But people have no feelings
People

Hallelujah

I walk down these city streets
Just a lonely man inspired
Hoping God will send me water down
To quench this burning fire
If i left here for the mountain
A monastery man
Things will stay the same so I’ll remain
And show just who I am
Seeing things around me
Bonnie and Clyde
Graffiti with no message
Doctors, medicines, or pride
But it doesn’t really matter
They’re blowin’ in the wind
On the cover of a magazine

Hallelujah
Babylon is falling
Babylon is falling

I try to wash my dirty hands
But they won’t come off the water
Hopin’ truth will make me clean and then
Redeem my sons and daughters
Though they’re not yet on the very highway
Pass along below
That’s why I left my memories far behind the lazy road
Seems so simple
Future’s the past
The present all the things we holdin’ on to make them last
But it doesn’t really maeeaahhh (matter)
Blow eeeahh (blowin in the wind)
Couuhaaahhh (with they’re head high)

Hallelujah
Babylon is falling
Babylon is falling

Ahhhhh…

Hallelujah

Man I used to be

I tried it, I couldn’t find it
Now I just wanna get back to me
ohh baby, hoo hoo
Back into the man I used to be

Things that I said I wouldn’t do, I did ‘em
Secrets below the service of truth I hid ‘em
This man kind is past, but can he erase
The tears of a million years is human race
Of animals, that talk and walk upright
Then slave all day and fall in a trance at night
Flowing the planet, trying to find missing links
Like the men we used to be and always suppose to think
Mysteries, maybe not
It’s getting hot, we better configure the plot, but
I hold a pen with the grip so tight
That’a squeeze the ink out’ta the page, and write a song for the people
Came up from the underground, now I write above on a hovercraft sound
This microphone, like an an amphetamine
Keeping me clean, speaking in dreams
So nature can intervene, just for a scene

I walk along this path alone, my feet hurt
Lost some friends along the way, I did dirt
I went to church, I tried everything
From leaving my body, to watching the birds sing
For hours, so I could feel heavenly powers
Had been across the universe and inside of flowers
But what is it worth, i’m still just a man on the earth
Rappers are acting like man tan
Can I be candid, I can’t stand it
Rap bandit, got heaven acting frantic
I wanna swing my sword decapitate

But what is a man if he acts like an ape
So I sit back, planning my great escape
Load up my EPS and peruse my record crate
The man I used to be, I can only see by looking beyond me
So what is reality, I don’t know

I tried it, I couldn’t find it
Now I just wanna get back to me
ohh baby, hoo hoo
Back into the man I used to be

wrong song
You know what
I woke up in the morning
I took a trip to the corner store
That’s when I heard my calling
But i’d never heard the voice of truth before
So I kept on walking
Pretended I didn’t see
Walked by a window and my reflection said to me
You could try all the same
But you’ll never know this mystery
There’s no pilot on your plane
So you’re not the man you used to be
Try all the game, but you’ll never know this mystery
When your pilot has no plane
Said you’re the man you used to be seen
Holla and ya holla, you folla you fall
Ya holler and ya holla, you folla you fall
Ya holler and ya holla, you folla you fall
Ya holler and ya holla, you folla you fall
Ya holler and ya holla, you folla you fall
Ya holler and ya holla, you folla you fall
Yo, microphones get ripped holding us back
K dash rocking it out, rocking the cold style
Making it up, go along singing my song
Woke up, in the early morn didn’t know what was going on
Whatever, I don’t really know
Flows like an immaculate goat what up, whatever

Check out Sunday Morning

Heaven bend to take my hand
And lead me through the fire
Be the long awaited answer
To a long and painful fight

Truth be told I’ve tried my best
But somewhere along the way
I got caught up in all there was to offer
And the cost was so much more than I could bear

Though I’ve tried, I’ve fallen…
I have sunk so low
I messed up
Better I should know
So don’t come round here
And tell me I told you so…

We all begin with good intent
Love was raw and young
We believed that we could change ourselves
The past could be undone
But we carry on our backs the burden
Time always reveals
In the lonely light of morning
In the wound that would not heal
It’s the bitter taste of losing everything
That I’ve held so dear.

I’ve fallen…
I have sunk so low
I messed up
Better I should know
So don’t come round here
And tell me I told you so…

Heaven bend to take my hand
Nowhere left to turn
I’m lost to those I thought were friends
To everyone I know
Oh they turn their heads embarrassed
Pretend that they don’t see
But it’s one missed step
One slip before you know it
And there doesn’t seem a way to be redeemed

Though I’ve tried, I’ve fallen…
I have sunk so low
I messed up
Better I should know
So don’t come round here
And tell me I told you so…

Metropolis is a classic German film by Fritz Lang made in 1927, depicting life in 2026. This film is considered well ahead of it’s time, much like 1984 was considered to be.

Many modern interprations are credited to Metropolis in the ideology of the human being turning bionic.  We can see in Christina Aguilera’s new album Bi-on-ic, this theme continues to be prevalent in the music industry.  Beyonce and Kylie Minogue also have donned appearances as bionic, transformed women. Lady Gaga’s stage name is rumored to be from Queen’s Radio Ga Ga which features portions of Metropolis. Conspiracy theorists do point to a underlying message in the music industry revealing a higher echelon working behind the scenes with the desire to turn humans into part human part robot tapped into the system by microchips.

Christina Aguilera Bionic

Beyonce Robot Metropolis

Is there something to it? As we get further into the future we are depending on electronics immensely for nearly all activities in our civilization.   Without them, could we survive?

Are we becoming too dependent on technology?

The film depicts the wealthy and privileged living off the underclass.

Metropolis is an absolute must see Silent film (with musical score), storyline and plot conveyed mainly through visual display and dramatic music.  This film has non-English subtitles but is understood through it’s visual depictions.

Watch the Review Here

Fritz Lang’s science fiction epic Metropolis was made in Germany in 1927, when German cinema was among the world’s finest.

The story takes place in a city of the future – the year is 2026 – when workers slave and live underground while, above them in a modern city, the wealthy literally feed off them.

A film that has influenced science fiction movies ever since, Metropolis has invariably been seen in less than pristine copies that have been edited and shortened for a variety of reasons (a few years ago there was the Giorgio Moroder version).

But now the original 124 minute version has been restored by the German Murnau Foundation, and it’s possible to see this milestone of cinema in the best conditions possible. If you’ve never seen it, you’re in for a remarkable experience; if you’ve only ever seen truncated versions, it will be like seeing it for the first time ~ by David Stratton.  SBS Films.

Enjoy the Movie.

Designed for controversy, these subjects have been a part of life and life’s taboo’s since the beginning of civilization.

Designed for sales.  Lady Gaga knows how to sell and parallels Madonna in many ways throughout by taking risks in demonstrating art through these archetypal subjects. She continues the one eye open, the other covered motif displayed in other videos many allude to conveying Horus eye symbolism. It appears a disheveled red heart is being carried with an A resembling a cross on it.

Smart marketing by touching on the most primal subjects we all can relate to.  It’s all been done before, it’s just now, with a little more money, and refinement in art and video, it looks a little more upscale.

Where there’s dark, there’s mystery and mystery makes you think and desire to know more.  Mystery = controversy = sales.

Primal, animal, occult, ritual, gothic. Gaga’s cloak reminds one of The Golden Dawn, Catholic or related ritual garments.

It is art. Reinventions of universal archetypal subject matter.

Upside-down Cross. Coffin. Phallic Symbol.

Religion. Death. Sex.

Primal battle between these subjects timeless interconnectedness symbolized by War – Military.

Enjoy.

City and Colour – Waiting…

Lyrics

A coma might feel better than this,
attempting to discover where to begin.
You’re weighed down, you’re full of something.
Of sickness, and desertion.
You’re weighed down, you’re full of something,
you’re underneath it all.

So say goodbye to love,
and hold your head up high.
There’s no need to rush
we’re all just waiting, waiting to die.

Hoping a better place is all I need,
with moments of innocence and mystery.
Oh, it’s the little things you miss.
Like waking up all alone.
Oh, it’s the little things you miss,
when you’re underneath it all.

So say goodbye to love,
and hold your head up high.
There’s no need to rush
we’re all just waiting, waiting to die.

All your friends seem like enemies
when you’re broken down and empty.
All your friends seem like enemies
when you’re broken down and empty.

So say goodbye to love,
and hold your head up high.
There’s no need to rush
we’re all just waiting, waiting to die.
