The first song.

This is just a personal one.  When i first started down the road to recovery I could not listen to music, I would become over emotional and crash.  I can tell you my life was very empty without it.

Then one afternoon down the strand watching people run by a car pulled up playing the song below, and I could listen without the emotional overload.  So this song though most of you will have never seen or heard it before, brought me back to the joy of music.  So please look listen and enjoy.


Crowded House "Dont dream its over"

Lyrics

There is freedom within, there is freedom without 
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup 
There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost 
But you'll never see the end of the road 
While you're traveling with me 

Hey now, hey now, don't dream it's over 
Hey now, hey now, when the world comes in 
They come, they come to build a wall between us 
We know they won't win 
Now I'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roof 

My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof 
In the paper today tales of war and of waste 
But you turn right over to the T.V. page 
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/c/crowded+house/dont+dream+its+over_20034394.html ] 
Hey now, hey now, don't dream it's over 
Hey now, hey now, when the world comes in 
They come, they come to build a wall between us 
We know they won't win 

Now I'm walking again to the beat of a drum 
And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart 
Only the shadows ahead barely clearing the roof 
Get to know the feeling of liberation and relief 

Hey now, hey now, don't dream it's over 
Hey now, hey now, when the world comes in 
They come, they come to build a wall between us 
We know they won't win 

Don't let them win 
Hey now, hey now 
Hey now 
Hey now, hey now 
Don't let them win 
Hey now, hey now 
Don't let them win 
Hey now, hey now

    I love Crowded House, and I love that this song is the one that helped you to listen to music again. Glad you can, music does soothe the soul.

    My favourite Crowded House song is Pineapple Head. A rare case of when the melody music and general vibe win out for me over lyrics

    p.s thanks for stopping by my Insanity post, I can only HOPE to drop as many kgs as you did, my calves are aching but other than that I am Ok

    Yeah I love Crowded House. I find as I am getting older that my music tastes are changing but the old stuff is still the best. Lots of good memories.

    As for the insanity post, just look after yourself, no need to kick yourself in the head if you dont have to. I find small goals are easy to achieve and keeps you going. Best of luck

How do Dragons Die

Image
Dragons have an endless fascination for me.  So I wondered how long does a Dragon live and how do they die. I found out the following THE GREAT WYRMS If a dragon lives past the age of 900 years, they are considered a Great Wyrm, and an Elder of the dragon community. All dragons will hold a great meeting to admit the new Great Wyrm to the society of dragons. Great Wyrms are highly regarded for their knowledge, their magical ability, and their prime wisdom. Elders are responsible for the teaching of past history of dragon kind, history of the world, and magic to the adult dragons. If there is an emergency that includes the dragon community, the Elders will call a grand-meeting to discuss the problem and what to do about it. These are the only two times in a dragon's life that they will see so many of their kind in one area. END OF THE LIFE-CYCLE A dragon rarely lives past 1,500. When the time comes, the dragon realizes his life-cycle has come t...

To see into the darkness.

Image
This is going to be one of those meandering posts I have from time to time. I went and saw my psychiatrist today, him and I get on very well.  Our conversations often cross over into mental health theory and treatments.  I recently watched an interview on the ABC about torture and how it effects people.  I ended up coming home with several periodicals and photocopies from reference materials. Its quite funny but i know should he and I ever sit down outside the office we would have the most amazing discussions. So how does this relate to the title of the post.  John made a comment of seeing the damage war and torture do.  We discussed a tipping point, a single event that before that people were normal and after that point are forever damaged.  I made the comment then comes the blackness. For the first time in 4 years I actually started to cry in his office.  Without realizing it I had unsettled myself.  You see...

Song has new meaning

Image
Isn't it amazing how sometimes old songs can take on new meanings, sometimes decades after they were written.  Some of you probably realize that I am a bit of a Hard Rock/Metal fan.  Couple of days ago I stumbled across a 100 video Megadeth playlist, and spent the next day and a half headbanging like I had long hair.  Any way I thought the lyrics for their song Foreclosure of a Dream Have included the video below. Lyrics as follows Rise so high, yet so far to fall A plan of dignity and balance for all Political breakthrough, euphoria's high More borrowed money, more borrowed time Backed in a corner, caught up in the race Means to an end ended in disgrace Perspective is lost in the spirit of the chase Chorus Foreclosure of a dream Those visions never seen Until all is lost Personal Holocaust Foreclosure of a dream Barren land that once filled a need Are worthless now, dead without a deed Slipping away from an iron grip Nature's scales are forced to tip The heartla...
