Communication Breakdown...it's always the same.

One of my ultimate favorite songs because of the lyrics. I think they are beautifully presented, and the music, well, very creative. The wonderful loooong thread of beat in the composition mixed in with JaaaZZY style. Haha. Love it. Tell us one of your favorite songs or lyrical compositions and why. (I hope this post belongs in here, hehehe!)



King Crimson

"Elephant Talk"

Talk, it�s only talk
Arguments, agreements, advice, answers,
Articulate announcements
It�s only talk

Talk, it�s only talk
Babble, burble, banter, bicker bicker bicker
Brouhaha, boulderdash, ballyhoo
It�s only talk
Back talk

Talk talk talk, it�s only talk
Comments, cliches, commentary, controversy
Chatter, chit-chat, chit-chat, chit-chat,
Conversation, contradiction, criticism
It�s only talk
Cheap talk

Talk, talk, it�s only talk
Debates, discussions
These are words with a d this time
Dialogue, dualogue, diatribe,
Dissention, declamation
Double talk, double talk

Talk, talk, it�s all talk
Too much talk
Small talk
Talk that trash
Expressions, editorials, expugnations, exclamations, enfadulations
It�s all talk
Elephant talk, elephant talk, elephant talk

Dust in the Wind.....so true every single word.

All we are is dust in the wind.

Kansas

"Dust in Wind Lyrics"

I close my eyes, only for a moment, and the moment's gone
All my dreams, pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind.
Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do, crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see

Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind

[Now] Don't hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away, and all your money won't another minute buy.

Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind
Dust in the wind, everything is dust in the wind.

Why I thought of Pink Floyd "Wish You Were Here, and "Shine on you crazy Diamonds"
when I saw this song...I don't know.



Hey! Now I can say what that dream was I had last night. Hehehe, thank-you. It was about a drop of water. Invisible. Like in that Alien movie. Except this was only one beautiful drop slow mo going down onto the waters surface.

Every drop is part of the ocean. Everyone is part of the all.

Silent All These Years ~ Tori Amos
Little Earthquakes

Excuse me but can I be you for a while
My DOG won't bite if you sit real still
I got the anti-Christ in the kitchen yellin' at me again
Yeah I can hear that
Been saved again by the garbage truck
I got something to say you know but NOTHING comes
Yes I know what you think of me you never shut up
Yeah I can hear that

But what if I'm a mermaid
In these jeans of his with her name still on it
Hey but I don't care
Cause sometimes I said sometimes I hear my voice and it's been
HERE silent all these years


So you found a girl who thinks really Deep Thoughts
What's so amazing about really Deep Thoughts
Boy you best pray that I bleed real soon
How's that thought for you
My scream got lost in a paper cup
You think there's a heaven where some screams have gone
I got 25 bucks and a cracker do you think it's enough
To get us there


But what if I'm a mermaid
In these jeans of his with her name still on it
Hey but I don't care
Cause sometimes I said sometimes I hear my voice and it's been
HERE silent all these


Years go by will I still be waiting
For somebody else to understand
Years go by if I'm stripped of my beauty
And the orange clouds raining in my head
Years go by will I choke on my tears
Till finally there is nothing left
One more casualty
You know we're to EASY easy easy


Well I love the way we communicate
Your eyes focus on my funny lip shape
Let's hear what you think of me now but baby don't look up
The sky is falling
Your MOTHER shows up in a nasty dress
It's your turn now to stand where I stand
Everybody lookin' at you here take hold of my hand
Yeah I can hear them


But what if I'm a mermaid
In these jeans of his with her name still on it
Hey but I don't care
Cause sometimes I said sometimes I hear my voice
I hear my voice
I hear my voice
And it's been HERE silent all these years
I've been here silent all these years
Silent all these
Silent all these years
