Pantera - Rise

We've got no time to lose
Your news is old news
Hate this, hate me, hate this
Right approach for the wrong
It's time to spread the word
Let the voice be heard
All of us, one of us, all of us
Dominate and take the motherfucking world

Mass prediction, unification
Breathing life into out lungs
EVERY creed and EVERY kind
To give us depth for strength

Taught when we're young to hate one another
It's time to have a new reign of power
Make pride universal so no one gives in
Turn our backs on those who oppose
Then when confronted we ask them the question
That's wrong with their mind?
What's wrong with your mind?

(Chorus) It's time to RISE

We've lived with past mistakes
Can we live with our own
Forgive, forget forgive
Be a man, not a child
There are no tears for peace
Of the common sympathies
Educate, reinstate, educate
A thing of past
The trouble in the states

It's time to rise

Evelyn Glennie: Como ouvir musica com "o corpo todo"



Nesta maravilhosa apresentação, a percussionista surda Evelyn Glennie guia a audiência numa viagem ao mundo da musica, não como notas numa pauta, mas como uma expressão da experiencia humana. Com uma enorme sensibilidade e possuindo uma ligação espiritual profunda com mundo do som, ela fala da musica para além das ondas sonoras que chegam ao ouvido humano. Fala da Vida como uma experiência que evolui quando começamos a ouvir-nos a nós próprios, onde se incluem as emoções e as intenções, relacionando estes conceitos com a importância dos espaços fisicos onde o som navega - instrumento, auditório e mesmo os ossos e cavidades do corpo tanto do musico que se expressa, como do ouvinte que recebe a mensagem.

Afinal para ouvir não são precisos ouvidos.
Só é preciso silêncio!

Thank U - Alanis Morissete

how bout getting off these antibiotics
how bout stopping eating when I'm full up
how bout them transparent dangling carrots
how bout that ever elusive kudo

thank you india
thank you terror
thank you disillusionment
thank you frailty
thank you consequence
thank you thank you silence

how bout me not blaming you for everything
how bout me enjoying the moment for once
how bout how good it feels to finally forgive you
how bout grieving it all one at a time

thank you india
thank you terror
thank you disillusionment
thank you frailty
thank you consequence
thank you thank you silence

the moment I let go of it was the moment
I got more than I could handle
the moment I jumped off of it
was the moment I touched down


how bout no longer being masochistic
how bout remembering your divinity
how bout unabashedly bawling your eyes out
how bout not equating death with stopping

thank you india
thank you providence
thank you disillusionment
thank you nothingness
thank you clarity
thank you thank you silence

The Flower Kings - The Truth Will Set You Free

I - Lonely Road

If you walk down that lonely road
realizing how little we know
I can see the strain in your face
just assuming we all join the race
hold on - the truth will set you free

No one asking "how does it feel"
in a world with no room for your needs
putting words to the grief and the pain
disapearing like tears in the rain
hold out - you will see, the truth will set you free
rain keep on falling like the first morning

II - Primal Instincts

Who invented the slow burning fire
the unforgettable high
who put the moon and the stars in the skies
the kaleidoscope inside your eyes

Rising higher from the primal cries
like a spiral up to the moon
day by day this ambitious grind
search for a new state of mind

Restless spieces, all of Africa
running for water and food
flowers and trees & wild, wild weeds
colours and shapes of our tribes

The Truth will you free
we will stand up to the lie
with this heart bigger than America
we will fight fire with fire
no more kiss will seal the lies

Listen close you can hear a song
a stream that run through your soul
simple and clear, seeking it's mate
just randomly out of control

Far away from the primal instinct
the song seems to fade away
the river get wider between your thoughts
and the things we do and say

The Truth will you free
we will stand up to the lie
with this heart bigger than America
no more kiss will seal the lies

III - From The Source

Now straight from the heart
your dreams will tell you where you will begin
It's straight from the source
the image from a long forgotten dream

Look into the flow
your thoughts will dance into the evening sun
as good as it gets
we all remember days of future spent

IV - Uphill

Move on uphill thru the smokescreens
rise up we're learning to fly
the bigger the sail the bigger scam
we're all gonna fall down and cry

Troubled times, go thru the motions
when leaders excel in their lies
while they squeeze the flower they took as a loan
until it fade out and die

The Truth will set you free
we will stand up to the lie
with this heart bigger than America
no more kiss will seal the lies

The Truth will set you free
we will stand up to the lie
with this heart bigger than America
no more kiss will seal the lies

V - The Stars the Sun the Moon

Rest your legs by the appletree
see the alternate realities
how you customize the journey, still
you've been here before
now you know the drill

And so the wind will cry the words of love
and you'll design the day you're thinking of
Now so much closer so much more in tune
We'll take the Stars, the Sun but first the Moon .

Rest your mind by the dawn of time
see the scene florish in it's prime
Roll away, away in the big, big blue
I'll explode, explain inside of you

And so the wind will cry the words of love
and you'll design the day you're thinking of
Now so much closer so much more in tune
We'll take the Stars, the Sun but first the Moon
