脆いということ

頑丈なものだと思ってた。
でも違った…脆いんだ。そして個性を持っているから貴重なんだ。
小さくて、なのにその持っている力を知らない。
だから脆いんだ。でも支えてくれる人たちがいるから壊れずにいる。
どうしてなのか神様なら知ってるよ。

storms

the sky is thundering, again, and i can't help wondering everytime i hear the sound of the sky split

"is the world going to end?"

then i remember it's only a storm and the world probably won't end yet.

i still can't help but wondering sometimes, "is this it?"

for the past years now, since i was sixteen, i've been having various nightmares about the worlds end.

every single one of these dreams is the same, only the situations vary. it's rather disturbing.

maybe it means something only on a psycological level? maybe everybody dreams these things? i just wish mine were'nt so real. it's so real that it scares me...and when i think about global warming...the reality of it.... well.... it's more than a nightmere. one that we cannot really wake up from. we are killing ourseslves.

we are in so many messes that we can't seem to get out of right now.

thunderstorms used to make me happy. now they just remind me of everything thats gone wrong. or maybe it's gone right? how should i know. can i think i can know the difference? well sure, i guess, to a certain extent. but when you try and really look at the bigger picture...i just get so lost in it all. there are people who are fighting in ways to make a difference, and that's good. it gives encouragement to the rest of us helpless people wondering "what do we do?" then i beat myself up thinking " i should go tree planting, i should stop shopping,....really i should run into the forest and join a wild pack of wolves and hope they accept me"

wanting to make a difference, and really not knowing whats worth fighting for anymore in this plastic day in age.

yes, "age of stupid".

thunderstorms...

maybe it would be better if my nightmeres came true.

it's just so sad that we can't make a better way. why do our leaders have to be so greedy? why do we still have wars fought in vain. when will the lives of people be worth more than what money can buy?

there are so many things wrong.

why can't the thunderstorm remind me of the good things?

i should stop watching conspiracy theory video's on how fucked up this world is, and the people running it...it just makes me feel helpless and depressed to know the truth.

1984 says it all.

and the sky is yelling at me right now!

i have to stop typing before i just regret that much more of everything i say and do. i just need to vent it out right now, because i'm alone...and i feel a little teeny weeny bit afraid for the state of our world...and our childrens childrens childrens futures.

to my open prison door

it’s not written for them to die before the sunrise
their mark is in the spreading color
see, there on the cusp
they don’t fall
after all wait-wring-starve-struggle-singe
because it comes

we saw it
we saw it overhead

The xx Believe in Angels [MUSIC]

11010954072?profile=original

 

Londoners' The xx have unveiled an ethereal new track titled 'Angels' from their upcoming [post-hell-temperature] Fall release, Coexist. And while that is sound advice for humanity in general--it sure is hard when people are sweating all over you every which-way you turn.

The song provides a dreamy backdrop with which to imagine floating in a refreshing spring or pool [hopefully devoid of city kids pissing all up in it]. Soft vocals and a minimalist approach make this a very soothing musical selection.

 

The album drops Sept. 11th on Young Turks Records.

...I hope Heaven has a soundtrack similar to this

What????

Listen, this may be crazy but every time i listen to Kid A, or In rainbows, I end up just saying to myself..."wait, What???".  This is probably only because i cant wrap my head around what is actually going on.  As much as i say i understand this band or understand the music from within, i still cant put my finger on why it is so...well...out there and different than anything else i have ever heard in my life.  I must say, the best muse before hitting the studio myself is to listen to radiohead.  Any album will hit me the same way.  It's the perfect release.  It's closure to my day, and the buildup in my morning.  THANK YOU!

SUMMERTIME CRUSH PLAYLIST [MUSIC]

11010952067?profile=original

We all know the summer brings promises of love, passion and blah blah blah...Maybe its the 100+ degree weather. Maybe its all the margheritas. Who knows! One thing we can all agree on, is that music just sounds better on a sunny day.

Well now you can swoon your lover-to-be with some fresh beats for the [boiling] streets. Saint Saviour has a nice
interpretation of M83's track 'Midnight City'. And Twin Shadow remixes chillwaves' resident summertime musician Neon Indian and his song 'Hex Girlfriend'--which if you put on said girlfriend, might ruin that romantic evening you had planned.

Also on deck is an anonymous remix of Little Dragon's dreamy, swimmy jam 'Crystal Film.' Full of bass-y dub potential and underwater notes.

Other gems abound. Be sure to check em all out 'dont wait for later...' Cause you know--it'll be too hot to do anything and the mood will be gone.

NYC: it is really raining:Found Elliot Carter 2003 interview. I was thinking about space and sound and moving in space and time."I feel that every note has to speak in some way," he says. "It has to have some reason for being there, in a way that means something to me." Does emotion come into it? "The emotional quality of a piece of music is not something I think about. I'm assuming it must have an emotional quality, otherwise I wouldn't like it."It's not that I sit down and say, 'I'm going to write a piece about joy, sadness or whatever.' I write down what happens to be the mood, I suppose, but it's not that that I'm concerned with. I'm concerned with the notes, how they sound to me. I always start with thinking about how I'd like to hear the instruments sound and what character they could have."

The 40,000 Sons of Radiohead, by Dario Prieto

Bilbao - Spirited and dancing, Thom Yorke's band played through their most famous songs and tracks from their newest album in Bilbao.

"We know that you are having problems in Spain, with more and more financial cutbacks leaving you without any money. I think you should take to the streets, because someone has robbed you." Thom Yorke talks a little. He has a 'lazy eye' and a strange inner world that materializes through his songs, revealing a timid man that has been known to rise above a number of difficulties in order to relate to a strange and dehumanized world by means of music and social conscience.

His band, Radiohead, performed this past Friday on the grasslands of Kobeta Mountain in Bilbao before a gigantic sea of fans, who are capable of following a group that is beyond the good and the bad of a mountain that is difficult to climb (The ascent of packed buses and steep hikes had grown to epic proportions). This is all so they could see the band and what their unique show in Spain would be like. Even the chance of rain, which had finally fallen in the form of a drizzle by the end of the concert, was not an problem for approximately 40,000 people that cheered on a show dedicated to songs from the band's latest album, The King of Limbs, and their most recent works. The set list also featured some of their more popular songs, though none of the songs played that night were too awarding of the term "Greatest Hits". 

Opening with "Bloom", the first track off their newest album, Radiohead gave a concert to the public that was saturated not only in color, but also in music. With a  modest arrangement of lights and panels that highlighted the musicians on stage (Ed O'Brien in his bowler hat, Colin Greenwood below him, the hands of his brother Jonny at the keyboards, Phil Selway's drumsticks, and Thom Yorke wagging a ponytail that sat on top of his head), the band appeared to be spirited at moments and dancing in others. Even the great dancing glory of Thom Yorke grew during these numbers since the music video for "Lotus Flower".
