greetings campers!

old threads never go away, they just get stored on dw's hard drive somewhere, something like 44 pages now, just under the general discussions heading; so rather than start a new one, thought i'd revive an "oldie" from last year, (page 42 or so) and make this a place where we can all share some good rockin', soul-stirrin' music and such. this might save some storage space, and give us all a place to share some good tunes, for those times when ya just might need one.

oh, and as a response to the above posting, jan did make the trip, and spent a week with the rest of us space cadets traveling around the state of michigan in a 31ft. magic bus last summer, stopping off at a big hotel for a few days, but that's another story you'll never hear, 'cus the thread got closed! yeah, i'm over it...

so let's start this concert off with hope that it never ends... (moderators welcome too)

thanks, bob - you got me going on an odyssey of tear jerkin' oldies - first i played one, then along came another one, and on and on into the night. i used up a whole box of tissues (not really, but almost). that's why i tend to stay away from the music, it brings on floods of tears and emotions, i don't know, is that good?

i was taken to a korean neal diamond type concert, didn't understand a word, but music's international . when i read in some spiritual book that music was an actual language, i really really felt the truth of that.

the john lennon video was proof how music can be a force in the spiritual revolution, the establishment was terrified of him - i didn't realize all that stuff happened, having run away to another country and stopped watching tv and listening to news.

so, i'm out of touch, is there anybody out there to take his place? or is it just the aging dylans, diamonds etc.? loved that "talking about my generation," what a giggle.

[VarenHokalos]

you're welcome, larissa- it's always nice to "give water" for a good cause, eh? as long as we can store it, share it, keep the "good stuff" alive and crankin', it's/he/them and their message are never really dead.

you can be sure tptb saw john lennon's power- and now-a-days, just listen to all the mind-numbing, hate-filled crap being pushed on the masses to see where they've taken it. but that's all a part of the big game going down right now, and we can always change the channel.

but, and here's a little secret: yes, music can and does affect your emotions- both through the lyrics and the melodies. and this can affect/ raise your consciousness level, even bring you to tears, so rather than drowning in the effect, channel it by whatever means works for you. use it to create a thought-form, like a giant 50-giga-ton sub-atomic love bomb, and drop it on some person/place that really deserves it! or something. change the rules- often. sooner, or later, we may all figure a way off this prison planet- and i'd rather go off singing, and smilin', than in chains...

here's an example: watch celine dion, accompanied by joe walsh (nice couple, eh?) and imagine that she is singing to her/your higher-self, or version of the highest ideal of god/christ consciousness, or whatever works for you, and see where it takes ya...

fantastic !!!!!!!!
i love them all!
thank you guys!

[Gideleb]

i'm a fan of enigma.....i feel we all need to learn to "return to innocence".

here's another song i love by them, which i'm listening to right now. i can't find the original video, but the song itself is so soothing:

[pipitous]

here is one of my fav's. please watch it to the end. u2 always had a surrender flag. when i first saw them in 1983 march at chapel hill where i went to college i got up and shook bono's hand on stage., the police ran me off, but well worth it.
years later in panama, an irishman at the bar i ran into each of us knew him and he knew him personally and we drank all night and listened to u2. co-incindeces do not happen.

sit down by james

i sing myself to sleep
a song from the darkest hour
secrets i can’t keep
inside of the day
swing from high to deep
extremes of sweet and sour
hope that god exists
i hope i pray

drawn by the undertow
my life is out of control
i believe this wave will bear my weight
so let it flow

oh sit down
oh sit down
oh sit down
sit down next to me
sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down, down
in sympathy

now i’m relieved to hear
that you’ve been to some far out places
it’s hard to carry on
when you feel all alone
now i’ve swung back down again
it’s worse than it was before
if i hadn’t seen such riches
i could live with being poor

oh sit down
oh sit down
oh sit down
sit down next to me
sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down, down
in sympathy

those who feel the breath of sadness
sit down next to me
those who find they’re touched by madness
sit down next to me
those who find themselves ridiculous
sit down next to me
in love, in fear, in hate, in tears
in love, in fear, in hate, in tears
in love, in fear, in hate, in tears
in love, in fear, in hate

down
down

oh sit down
oh sit down
oh sit down
sit down next to me
sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down, down
in sympathy

oh sit down
oh sit down
oh sit down
sit down next to me
sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down, down
in sympathy

down

hello robert. thanks for the retro visit to some of the music that came out in the 60"s.as someone raised in the 60"s and was part of that generation which exploded with creativity, i am still up for rocking in the new century. music is an integral part of my every day life and i am broad spectrum in my choices of music, as long as they are uplifting and inspirational to the human spirit. we are music and music is us. hope you will continue to follow your creativity, whereever it leads you.cheers bud!

[gettoblaster]

bob ---it took me on another all night woodstock orgy is what it did, this time no tears just strong emotion - stop! enough already. that was a nice notion about planting a love bomb, but doesn't work for me. at least not like that.

like being told to send light to the planet to wherever it needs it, close your eyes, concentrate, let goooooooo........ok, ho hum, now what?

i hate meditation! and i hate exercises and all that kind of stuff. been there, done that, no more, i'm off to something different.

i love what you say about getting off this prison planet. reminds me of a time i got my mind blown during this healing with crystals course i was on years ago. i got handed a book chanelling the crystal skull, started reading it, then read this bit about this planet being the dumping ground for the galaxy's criminals and assorted riff raff, and now they were freaked out because this criminal population was about to blow everybody up so they had to send lots of light workers to try to stop the destruction. my world stopped for about 10 minutes, i couldn't move.

i just knew it was the truth. something deep inside got really affected. in this same book it talked about music being a language. that resonated as well. that book really did me in.

so in that sense, yes this planet is a prison, and we are either the criminal riff raff or lightworkers, take your pick. oh, yah, another thing it said is that artists like j joplin, hendrix, morrison, and probably lennon, were sent to speak to the earth inhabitants through the music language, to balance out the energies or whatever, and that they had difficulty with the heavy atmosphere here, and had to leave early because they couldn't handle it. too right!

and that information doesn't conflict at all with the info that's going around now, in fact, it ties neatly in, i think. most everything i read or hear has a part to play in the whole picture, "take what you like and leave the rest" and the pieces of the puzzle are fitting in, bit by bit. a bit of mixed metaphoring...

anyway, thanks bob, you're a gem. love, larissa

[JMLot]

hey, born 23eb thanks for sharing your thoughts. old rockers never die, they just loose some of their hearing, and maybe a little hair, but that fire inside still burns brightly. the great white north has contributed, greatly to this endeavor-

emily- it's really cool to put the lyrics up with the song- you can even sing along, if ya like- good show...

larissa- ok, i'll stop. not. hey, now- we all hear a different drummer, from time to time- just keep tappin' whatever you like. and how 'bout them tibetans? they got any good tunes?

some artists have learned the magic of combining visual and sound- this man's one of the best....

nah, there's definately some great music out these days! hehe i do agree with what you said, with regards to rap music. however, there is a lot of modern music with a positive message, though you have to look primarily in alternative and electronic music to find it.

this is a great song with a powerful music video, i think:

nickelback - if everyone cared
http://youtube.com/watch?v=_jesg4-jg3q

this song also has a powerful music video. it's about how we must learn to forgive what humanity/ourselves have done (as a whole).

linkin park - what i've done
http://youtube.com/watch?v=8sgycukafqq

this one, is more on the electronic music side, which appeals to my young ears i guess. but really, it does have quite beautiful, spiritual lyrics. (note: i did not make the video)

[and you can search for this one too]
delerium - truly

i hope these are a treat to everyone's ears

i love music but apart from playing recorder and violin in elementary school and a few attempts at spoons at parties i have never been all that musically inclined.

yesterday while listening to music i was just in awe of what some of these artists can produce and was thinking about what it must be like to be an amazing musician, or artist. i think many of them have a direct link to the creator so to speak.

anyways, i came home and last night read this (from a book on david's reading list) speaking about the "future".

human individuals will not function in such cumbersome fashion as they do today. they will go about their tasks with the grace of dancers, performing to a music that each will hear on his or her own channel, the music of his or her own soul. through melodies, god will sustain each of his contextual identities in supreme fullfillment. specific melodies will change with each environment, with each movement, with each task.yet a consistent overall pattern of musical relationship will constitute the new identity of mankind. the song of the moment , will be what each individual is in that moment,translated into an ever changing musical score.

music will be the informational medium through which the totality of consciousness informs each individual cell of its specific functional duties within the totality. individuals will participate in this music as well as listen to it. all humanity will be involved in conscious creation, immensely fulfilled in the capacities they serve. when an individual is not required in a functional capacity, he or she will be free to compose the score that will specify a route of musical travel within the body of creation so i may get the chance to experience what it's like to be a great composer. sounds like it could be fun.

[thomaskkk]

ok, i surrender, i will watch all the videos posted, they're all good. don't get me started about tibetan music, listening to the monks chant, or the nuns sing, takes you to another planet. isn't rock and roll, but there's room for all sorts.

[GentlieGant]

there comes a time
when we head a certain call
when the world must come together as one
there are people dying
and it's time to lend a hand to life
the greatest gift of all

we can't go on
pretending day by day
that someone, somewhere will soon make a change
we are all a part of
god's great big family
and the truth, you know love is all we need

[chorus]
we are the world
we are the children
we are the ones who make a brighter day
so let's start giving
there's a choice we're making
we're saving our own lives
it's true we'll make a better day
just you and me

send them your heart
so they'll know that someone cares
and their lives will be stronger and free
as god has shown us by turning stone to bread
so we all must lend a helping hand

[chorus]
we are the world
we are the children
we are the ones who make a brighter day
so let's start giving
there's a choice we're making
we're saving our own lives
it's true we'll make a better day
just you and me

when you're down and out
there seems no hope at all
but if you just believe
there's no way we can fall
well, well, well, well, let us realize
that a change will only come
when we stand together as one

[chorus]
we are the world
we are the children
we are the ones who make a brighter day
so let's start giving
there's a choice we're making
we're saving our own lives
it's true we'll make a better day
just you and me

hey everybody — a bit off-topic, i know, but nine inch nails released a free album today and i want to share the love. i've always felt that trent was a wanderer, and derive some amount of spiritual support from his instrumentals. the website is www.nin.com.

i can remember when this song first came out( the black & white cameras should be a clue), and it was just so out-there at the time-
