Today for me its Some B52s.

 

the lyrics are so deep and meaningful.

 

Planet Claire has pink air
All the trees are red
No one ever dies there
No one has a head

 

 

 

 

Love this group for something alternative to my normal playlist.

The lyrics remind me of the red forest in 12 monkeys, the tv series.

 

very creative use of a walkie talkie ?

Today im going to be doing that pesky housework thats been needed to be done since last week.

 

I do love to wiggle my backside and get down to something with a bit of life while running the vac round and exorcising the demons of dirt and dust.

 

Therefore along with other special and specific tracks.

Music is one of the very few things that can break through my walls and truly let me feel.  I have music playing as often as I can. 

 

This thread is one I look forward to daily. I’ve discovered new music and rediscovered some music I had not listened to in quite some time. 

 

At work, I’ve switched to instrumental, I find I can’t concentrate as well with lyrics  pulling my attention. I’ve really been enjoying Ludovico Einaudi’s piano pieces.  Really anything melodic that builds up to a good crescendo then eases me back out, I’ve been crushing on and queuing up. 
 

Now back  to the soundtrack of my life. I hope you all have a great day and enjoy your playlists. 
 

*hugs*

Me too!   You're right that there is so much good music to be discovered.  

 

I also find that music with sung lyrics can be a distraction if I was working as I would be listening too intently and be lose my focus on the task at hand.  I love instrumental music.

We just got home from an Emmylou Harris concert, and it was outstanding!  I've loved her music since the late 70's.  Her voice still rings like a bell and her band was great.  I'm so glad that she is still around to perform, and I'm still around to hear her.

Thanks MaryMary. I enjoyed the music. My French is not very strong, but enough that I understood the general premise of the song.

Today i have been really Nostagic.

 

There is a story to this song if i may indulge you for a few minutes of your time.

 

Maybe about 5 years ago and some. I had an online freind.

This pal of mine was in the Navy During the Vietnam war. he use to spot for the ships guns which would sometimes mean going ashore to seek out the enemy emplacements. Some of the storys he told me were quite horrific

He indroduced me to this song. As when they was heading back to the states this was the song they always use to play over the loudspeakers and it stuck in his mind. because of this i got indroduced to it and it always stuck with me and it is also an awesome track.

I lost touch with my freind. I do not know if he is now still alive or gone. I think he had some issues that the war in vietnam gave him and he never really recoved. I have tryed to get back in touch but never had any luck.

 

Therefore This is for you P if your still of this world or even if you have gone. I miss you and im sorry we fell out of touch.

I love it!  So many songs that burned their way into my mind as this hippie sniffed the tear gas in anti war demonstrations.  FM radio was just finding an audience as most were listening to AM.  Somehow music brings those days back like nothing else.  "The times are still a'changing".  May dawn come soon.

somewhat enigmatic but really striking lyrics. It speaks about futility of trying to keep things the same.

Wait a while

We’ll figure out our lives 

Hold your breath

The wolves are in disguise 

Don’t need your dirty hands 

Don’t need to take a chance 

Go stand in behind the fence 

Can you feel that bleeding neck 

Can you feel that now 

 

Close the door 

Take a walk around 

Hold your breath 

In these rivers you might drown 

All alone you live inside 

It’s alone you came and went 

In the shadows the bounty rides

A love that makes no sense 

It makes no sense...

 

You could beat a cat in the rain 

Losing all that you gain

Working hard but you know 

All things will change 

 

The world it’ll spin and stand trial 

While they spit and draw blood 

from your smile 

We’ll all make it back to the stars 

But it’s ours for a little while 

 

Oo oo ooo ooo ooooo

Oo oo ooo ooo ooooo

 

Brace your heart 

In this rich and colored plinth 

Hold your breath 

It’s a key and a killer in your hands

All I want is bells and whistles 

All I want is fancy dreams 

And you live and learn 

And soon discern

Nothing’s ever what it seems 

Never what it seems 

 

Beat a cat in the rain 

Losing all that you gain

Working hard but you know 

All things will change 

 

The world it’ll spin and stand trial 

While they spit and draw blood 

from your smile 

We’ll all make it back to the stars 

But it’s ours for a little while 

 

Oo oo ooo ooo ooooo

Oo oo ooo ooo ooooo

      You probably remember the Target PR fiasco.  I remember reading an account from a woman who shopped there.  She went into a stall and did her business, and someone came into the bathroom and began swinging stall doors open, and when she came to her stall, the woman peeked at her through the crack. "What are you doing?" "Checking for perverts." The writer was so stunned by the absurdity that she finished up ASAP and got out of there, while the other woman entered a stall and locked it, made sure it was locked, and locked it again.

      Nothing about eradicating TG folk. 
    • Ivy
      If 9 out of 10 parts are ok, that doesn't mean I need to accept the bad parts (that are aimed directly at me).  That seems suicidal.
    • Ivy
      True, most of it has nothing to do directly with us.  It's the parts that do that are the problem.   I see the  few problematic statements as being a big problem.  Just because a lot of it may be okay, doesn't change that. Even supposing the rest of it might be good for the country, it doesn't help me if I'm being "eradicated".  I suppose I should be good with that, because it's for the "greater good".  If me being gone would please a number of people, then it's my civic duty to disappear, and vote to implement that.
    • Ivy
      Yeah.  There are already laws against assault.  I don't think the overwhelming majority of trans women have any desire to harass cis women.  Speaking for myself, if I go into a women's washroom, it's because my eyeballs are already floating - not for kicks.  And I worry about getting clocked and assaulted by some guy being a "hero."
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Only three, maybe four, sections even mention transgender.  Most is a conservative agenda I have no problem with.   In the sections that mention transgender, there are very few lines.  Those lines ARE problematic, in every case. Unequivocally.  I can't see some of them standing up in court.  In one case a recommended policy goes against a court decision, which strongly suggests the implementation of that policy would be stopped in court.    Anyone maintaining that this is written simply to support Trump, to support him becoming a dictator, to crush transgender people is feeding you a line.  Nor is it an attempt to erase transgender people.   People will have to decide if the overall goals are worth the few problematic statements.  Overall, I support it.  Of course, I have some reservations.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      It is unfamiliar, therefore threatening.   For 90% or so of the population, gender id can be simply and quickly determined by a quick anatomical observation.  They have no understanding and cannot imagine what it would mean to have a body different from the id.  It is unimaginable.  Therefore, wrong.   So there is this strong headwind.   I haven't entered this discussion, but here is a script: A: I can't imagine what it must be to have TG. B: You're a man, right? A: Well, of course. "amused" B: Imagine you were required by law and custom to wear women's clothing all the time. A: It wouldn't happen. B: Okay, but for the sake of the argument... A: That would be disgusting.  I would be very uncomfortable. B: You have it.  That is what TG people go through all the time. 24-7-365. A: Really? B: And then they are told they are perverts for having those feelings.  The same you just described. A: I see. B: And someone comes along and tells you you need conversion therapy so you will be comfortable wearing women's clothing all the time. A: I think I would break his nose. B: You understand transgender folk better than you think.

      I have found some people correlate TG = child predator ... just as some have correlated homosexual = child predator...    I am baffled by the TG = unsafe connection ... my wife tends to think this way, that this is all about sexual deviancy ... I try to ask how my preference for wearing frilly socks with embroidered flowers and a comfortable camisole under my lavender T-shirts is sexually deviant (or sexual anything) but I don't get very far...

      Best wishes to you as you take this step ... many blessings to you!

      Not sure.  The perp is a minor.  The problem here is NOT transgender, the problem here is incompetent and criminal administration.  See https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/family-of-loudoun-co-student-sexually-assaulted-ineptitude-of-all-involved-is-staggering/3231725/ It is more than annoying that people think the problem here is TG and that other people think the solution is some stupid statewide law.  Like an appendectomy to deal with an ingrown toe nail.    Since Loudon, I recall a boy was asked not to use the girl's restroom at a high school by one of the girls.  He, overwhelming her with height and weight,  assaulted her, claiming he had a right to be there.   Later I think eight girls beat him severely in another girl's restroom.  Again the problem is not transgender, the problem is assaults in restrooms and common courtesy.  TG is used as a smokescreen and it seems to paralyze thought among administrators who do not want to do anything to provoke controversy.

      Time to get with your Primary Care doctor and be referred to a neurologist or an orthopedist.  It could be many things, too many for any of us here to guess at.

      Other than the Boy Scout motto, oath, and law. I use two:   When asked how I'm doing? In all honesty I reply. I would have to make something up to complain. If asked to explain further: I reply. I know someone is having a tougher time than I am, and I pray God blesses them.   I also recite this quote that I have tagged in my signature: Courage, doesn't always roar. Sometimes it's the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow."-Unknown    Saying these things daily keep me motivated.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      If this goes on, I am conceding the real possibility of being stopped in WM or somewhere by a concerned citizen who tells me, "Lady, God made you female.  I don't think you should be trying to look like a man. You need to return to your true gender and be comfortable living your life out as a woman."   Begin odd and awkward conversation.  I have been thinking about this this morning.
