Dear God – XTC

I was reading an article about some letters written by Mother Theresa which address the trouble she sometimes had in maintaining her faith. "What do I labor for?" she asked in one letter. "If there be no God, there can be no soul. If there be no soul then, Jesus, You also are not true."

It is easy to feel this way. I thought of this song by XTC called Dear God.

My Chemical Romance - I don’t love you

My Chemical Romance I don’t love you






Janet put together a very nice video.

Here is what she had to say,

"This is a furuba video. I don't know why I decided to make it sad but I did. The video is about Hatori, Kana, tohru, Kyo, and Some parts have Akito in them."






Song by: My Chemical Romance
Song Title: I Don't Love You

Here are the lyrics for your viewing pleasure:

Well, when you go
Don't ever think I'll make you try to stay
And maybe when you get back
I'll be off to find another way

And after all this time that you still owe
You're still the good-for-nothing I don't know
So take your gloves and get out
Better get out
While you can

When you go
Would you even turn to say
"I don't love you
Like I did
Yesterday"

Sometimes I cry so hard from pleading
So sick and tired of all the needless beating
But baby when they knock you
Down and out
It's where you oughta stay

And after all the blood that you still owe
Another dollar's just another blow
So fix your eyes and get up
Better get up
While you can
Whoa, whooa

When you go
Would you even turn to say
"I don't love you
Like I did
Yesterday"

Well come on, come on

When you go
Would you have the guts to say
"I don't love you
Like I loved you
Yesterday"

I don't love you
Like I loved you
Yesterday

I don't love you
Like I loved you
Yesterday




I am learning to play piano. I really like this piano version.

Led Zeppelin - Black Dog

Awesome photo collection on the bands website.

Jon Anderson

John Roy Anderson hails from Lancashire England and was born way back in 1944. I saw him live back during the 90125 tour. I always felt a kinship with him as he aligns himself with the elf culture and meditates with crystals and dream catchers. This first clip is a collaboration with Greek musician Vangelis. It’s a classic to me, one you never hear on the radio.

Another Yes favorite of mine is “Wonderous Stories”. It captures the things I most enjoy about a multidimensional reality.


Yes Wonderous Stories





Jon has a website but it is rather disappointing. I didn’t find any music there, only links to buy music at amazon.com. A lot of the links didn’t work and the whole site seemed slow. The one cool thing is Jon’s artwork. It's worth a visit just to see his watercolors. You can find it here.


I went also to his myspace page. At least there was a few songs. Again, links that do not work. Come on Jon, get your act together.

His art work is there as well along with a dead link to "The Teachings of Don Juan" which is a favorite book of mine.

Rumor has it that Jon is working on a rap opera.

Kraftwerk - Autobahn

Kraftwerk - Autobahn


This post is quite a bit different from the last one by Uriah Heep. This song, by the German group Kraftwerk, is one of my favorite driving songs. It might take a bit of commitment to watch it as a video post, but on the open road, look out!

Autobahn



Here were some comments from the post:

Now ish ze time on Sprockets ven ve dance.
You have disturbed me almost to the point of insanity...There. I am insane now.
Would you like to touch my monkey? Touch him! Touch my monkey!


There was a cement hiway to Frankfurt on Oder and also from Berlin to Breslau (now known as Wroclaw, in Poland) They were built by Hitler in the 1930's. I live in the south of Poland and drove on them many times. They have recently been totaly rebuilt into modern freeways just like in the USA.



Here is another Kraftwerk song set to Lost In Space footage.

The Robots





The band website is absolutely awesome!

Uriah Heep - The Wizard

Uriah Heep has been around since the late 1960’s and they are still on tour these days. I always liked their sound and this song is one of my favorites.

The Wizard



If you want to know more about the band go to the Official Uriah Heep website.

This is funny. I don't care who you are. You have to laugh at this.
