Bound by the Beauty - Jane Siberry

Thanks, Robert.

I'm bound by the fire
I'm bound by the beauty
I'm bound by desire
I'm bound by the duty

I'm coming back in 500 years 
And the first thing I'm gonna do when I get back here
Is to see these things I love
And they'd better be here, better be here, better be here

And first I'm going to find a forest
And stand there in the trees
And kiss the fragrant forest floor
And lie down in the leaves
And listen to the birds sing 
The sweetest sound you'll ever hear

And everything the dappled
Everything the birds
Everything the earthness
Everything the verdant, the verdant, the verdant, the verdant green

I'm bound by the fire
I'm bound by the beauty
I'm bound by desire
I'm bound by the duty

I'm coming back in 500 years 
And the first thing I'm gonna do when I get back here
Is to see these things I love
And they'd better be here, better be here, better be here

And then I'm going to find an open field
And lie down in the flowers
And then I'm going to find a guitar
And play, play, play for hours
And then I'm going to find a river
To see what kind of body in

And everything the granite
Everything the kiss
Everything the earthness
Everything the verdant, the verdant, the verdant, the verdant dream

I'm bound by the beauty
I'm bound by desire
I'm bound to keep returning
I'm bound by the beauty

The Secret Of Kells - Clip 06 - Aisling's Song

A clip from the coolest movie I've found in over a year.

You must go where I can not...
Pangur Ban, Pangur BanWhite lady, white lady,
Níl sa tsaol so ach ceo,This life is not but mist
Is ní bheimíd beoAnd we'll not be alive
Ach seal beag gearr.but a short brief time

The above was taken from the following YouTube Comments:

  • The girl who sings it is named Christen Mooney. The translation of the song is:
    You must go where I can not, Pangur Ban Pangur Ban, In this life is not just fog, We do not live, but a little short spell. Pangur Ban Pangur Ban, In this life is not just fog, We do not live, but a little short spell. Pangur Ban also closely means White Lady

  • Níl sa tsaol so ach ceo (This life is not but mist) Is ní bheimíd beo (And we'll not be alive) Ach seal beag gearr. (but a short brief time)

Here's a longer version, showing part of the movie's action, too.

Joe Cocker - You can leave your hat on!

Ty, Amy

Aerosmith - Sweet Emotion

Gah, the musical intro to this is so hot. Since I was a kid, it's always grabbed my brain and twisted my perception. For decades I've tried to replicate the way it makes me feel WITHOUT listening, but so far no luck.

Paint with Pop

A cool idea here. I suppose you could use other types of soda, too. But won't the ants eat it?

Robert Oppenheimer, who corralled the greatest physicists of the mid-20th century to produce the most horrid weapon to that date at behest of the US government, and who was later persecuted by the US government for his supposed leftist political beliefs after refusing to endorse development of the hydrogen bomb espoused by Teller, here states his views on The Bomb in poetic language. Oppenheimer remains one of my most revered, yet tragic heroes. Stuff ...

Thanks, Curt.

USS Enterprise False Flag alert!


Posted here because it's
  • Sadly, not at all unlikely
  • A nice piece of filmography
A Great FB Comment I saw:

Soroush V-n well, parallel to being quite intriguing and sophisticated, such a scenario is actually quite feasible; the way to think of such assumptions is to ask your self: "would I do that if I was the strategist behind the whole show?" If I was an Israeli-American strategist wishing to trigger something fatally big, YES I would definitely do that. Its practically the best way to do it really. USS Enterprise is as old as hell; the image of it sinking by an 'unprovoked' attack from a 'not-yet-confirmed' enemy would inflame the whole American public opinion, point the finger automatically to a certain direction, as well as paving the way for the rest of the further military arrangements. As the Persian proverb goes: "hitting couple of sparrows with one stone." 40 minutes ago · Like


Not posted on FaceBook because it's
  • Overdramatic and comes off as propaganda
YouTube Comments

I'm a bit reticent to share, too. Can you make a version of this that's "just the facts" without a lot of drama? It really shows your skill, but in this case the artistry hinders the cause. Sincerity is needed. The voice and drama give the feeling of wacko-conspiracy-theorist propaganda. If people are ready to see clearly, they'll know the risk is real. If not, God help us Allah.

Hesperion XXI - Dimitrie Cantemir - The Book of the Science of Music

This is from "a band called Hesperion XXI, which revives old european music (from before 1800s). They released an album in 2009 with songs composed by a romanian prince called Dimitrie Cantemir. Cantemir spent some years in Turkey where he wrote and collected turkish music. His work is so highly regarded there that he is considered a classical turkish composer."

Thanks Ada

Stereo MCs - Elevate My Mind

I wanna go higher
I wanna go higher (higher baby)

If I ever get down in the dumps
Short of a dollar nothin change for months
It seems to rain about every day
And all the news seeme kinda grey
Its no illusion call it reality
So I release more charge from my battery
We can rise death defy gravity
Bring about a sense of personality
So as I walk I look around
See some go up , some go down
There goes the mayor his nose is brown
Guess how he get to wear his crown
But his hands are shaking the walls are breakin
And one day they will all fall down
Sometimes its better that way
Makin space for a some day

We're on the ground floor got lots to learn
Slip to the basement and you burn
First floor and you start to fall
Out the bed clothes answer the door
On the second I comprehend
Positive waves are what I send
Third floor and you start to flow
Tell me now where d'ya wanna go

(higher baby)
I wanna go higher (higher baby)
Were'd you wanna go?
I wanna go higher (higher baby)
I wanna go higher (higher baby)

So tell me baby kinda shakey
We aint been too friendly lately
Things sometimes turn out that way
And that is all that you got to say
Well thats ok cause time can soothe
Like a dentist pulls out a tooth
As each new day will bring a new face
how can I make my rhyme go someplace

First of all she ask for more
I said sure I dont mind at all
The waters deep but I'm walking tall
It dont matter if you're rich or poor
Aint here to score just raise the floor
Maximum vibes what I'm aiming for
I do my war dance back to the wall
Just returning my native call

And thats the way we're getting by ya
Always keeping you on the wire
Takin you higher - call me a liar
But you won't cause you're feeling inspired
Work we're going to , jerk you're all thru
Theres no way you'll stop my breakthru
Two ways to do it , get in or get out
Elevate yourself don't hang about
So wherever lies you'r latitude
Wherever you are we're gaining altitude
In all directions starting to climb
So come on girl - elevate my mind

I wanna go higher (elevate my mind)
I wanna go higher (higher baby)
(Let it reach ya) I wanna go higher (higher baby)
(Elevate my mind) I wanna go higher (higher baby)

I wanna go higher
