Peter Gabriel - In Your Eyes (Live)

via youtube.com

Accepting all I've done and said I want to stand and stare again 'Til there's nothing left out, oh whoa whoa It remains there in your eyes Whatever comes and goes I will hear your silent call And I will touch this tender wall 'Til I know I'm home again, oh  (In your eyes) In your eyes (In your eyes) In your eyes (In your eyes) In your eyes  Love, I get so lost, sometimes Days pass and this emptiness fills my heart When I want to run away I drive off in my car But whichever way I go, I come back to the place you are  And all my instincts, they return And the grand facade, so soon will burn Without a noise, without my pride I reach out from the inside  In your eyes, the light, the heat In your eyes I am complete In your eyes, the resolution Of all the fruitless searches In your eyes, I see the light and the heat In your eyes Oh, I want to be that complete I want to touch the light The heat I see in your eyes In your eyes In your eyes In your eyes  Love, I don't like to see so much pain So much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away I get so tired of working so hard for our survival I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive  And all my instincts, they return And the grand facade, so soon will burn Without a noise, without my pride I reach out from the inside  In your eyes, the light, the heat In your eyes I am complete In your eyes I see the doorway To a thousand churches In your eyes, the resolution Of all the fruitless searches In your eyes, I see the light and the heat In your eyes Oh, I want to be that complete I want to touch the light The heat I see in your eyes In your eyes In your eyes In your eyes  Accepting all I've done and said I want to stand and stare again 'Til there's nothing left out, oh whoa whoa It remains there in your eyes Whatever comes and goes Oh, it's in your eyes  In your eyes In your eyes In your eyes In your eyes In your eyes In your eyes In your eyes In your eyes In your eyes  I want to stand and stare again Oh, it's in your eyes

Roky Erickson - For You (Live 1980)

via youtube.com

I have tried and tried everything I know how
I have died and died because of that final result I could allow
I have cried and cried easy days and sleepless nights too
But there is nothing I can do, but wait for you
There are other girls I’m sure, but not for me to go for
The other girls are around, but I never tried to score
I’d be alone all the time being completely true
I who would wait forever wait for you

How must it take so long?
I can only try these unsure times to be strong
Till I can know something further of you till I belong
I can only wait and hope for not wrong?
I can’t plant any more plans
I can’t fly any more fires for your pain
I can’t lay any more traps
My adult traps have already been made with all days
I could kiss you, hug you
So many things I could do with you
But there is nothing I can do, but wait for you

“Be kind and honest, and harmful poisons will turn sweet inside you.” —Mevlana Rumi

“

A spirit that lives in this world

and does not wear the shirt of love,

such an existence is a deep disgrace.


Be foolishly in love,

because love is all there is.

There is no way into presence

except through a love exchange.


If someone asks, But what is love?

answer, Dissolving the will.

True freedom comes to those

who have escaped the questions

of free will and fate.


Love is an emperor.

The two worlds play across him.

He barely notices their tumbling game.


Love and lover live in eternity.

Other desires are substitutes

for that way of being.

How long do you lay embracing a corpse?

Love rather the soul, which cannot be held.


Anything born in spring dies in the fall,

but love is not seasonal.

With wine pressed from grapes,

expect a hangover.


But this love path has no expectations.

You are uneasy riding the body?

Dismount. Travel lighter.

Wings will be given.


Be clear like a mirror

reflecting nothing.


Be clean of pictures and the worry

that comes with images.


Gaze into what is not ashamed

or afraid of any truth.


Contain all human faces in your own

without any judgment of them.


Be pure emptiness.

What is inside that? you ask.

Silence is all I can say.

”
—Mevlana Rumi, Be Pure Emptiness

Bruce Springsteen & Jackson Browne - Running On Empty (Rally For Disarmament 12-6-1982)

via youtube.com

Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
Looking back at the years gone by like so many summer fields
In ‘65 I was seventeen and running up 101 
I don’t know where I’m running now, I’m just running on

Running on - running on empty
Running on - running blind
Running on - running into the sun
But I’m running behind

Gotta do what you can just to keep your love alive
Trying not to confuse it with what you do to survive
In ‘69 I was twenty-one and I called the road my own
I don’t know when that road turned onto the road I’m on

Running on - running on empty
Running on - running blind
Running on - running into the sun
But I’m running behind

Everyone I know, everywhere I go
People need some reason to believe
I don’t know about anyone but me
If it takes all night, that’ll be all right
If I can get you to smile before I leave

Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
I don’t know how to tell you all just how crazy this life feels
I look around for the friends that I used to turn to to pull me through
Looking into their eyes I see them running too

Running on - running on empty
Running on - running blind
Running on - running into the sun
But I’m running behind

Honey you really tempt me
You know the way you look so kind
I’d love to stick around but I’m running behind
You know I don’t even know what I’m hoping to find
Running into the sun but I’m running behind

“For life is the best thing we have in this existence. And if we should desire to believe in something, it should be a beacon within. This beacon being the sun, sea, and sky, our children, our work, our companions and, most simply put, the embodiment of love.” —Patti Smith

Kyl Throws Fake Fact Down Memory Hole → scienceblogs.com

Sen. Jon Kyl, who caused a good deal of amusement when he announced that abortion was more than 90% of what Planned Parenthood does and then declaring that it was not intended to be a factual statement, has now managed to erase his lie from the Congressional Record.

“Improved technology, population growth and globalization have made today’s world increasingly interdependent. Therefore, putting your own country’s interests first, at the expense of others, can have serious consequences. What we need to do is to think of humanity as a whole and develop a sense of concern on a global level. I refer to this as having a sense of “universal responsibility”.” —Dalai Lama

“Bliss is true happiness. What you call happiness is just misery in disguise. What you call happiness is nothing but entertainment, pleasure. It is momentary — it cannot be true. Truth has to have one quality, and the quality is of eternity. If something is true it is eternal; if it is untrue it is momentary. True happiness is found only when the mind completely ceases functioning. It does not come from the outside. It wells up within your own being, it starts overflowing you. You become luminous. You become a fountain of bliss.” —Osho (via lysergicacidiethylamide)

Tony Banks - The More I Hide It

via youtube.com

The more I dream of you
The less you want me to
The more I need to hold you
The less you seem to care

If I knew what I was meant to do
Then I’d be doing it all the time
If I could find the key
I’d keep the doorway open wide

But I will stay with you
Forever if you want me to
As long as there’s a heaven
And that’s a long long time

To yearn without reward
To plan and hope in vain
It’s you that has the power you know
To soothe and end this pain

Another season passes
But the sky is always grey
Autumn leaves and summer breezes
Can’t bring on a change

But I will stay with you
Forever if you want me to
As long as there’s a heaven
and that’s a long long time

The more I hide it the more it shows
The more confused I feel
And on my own alone
Tell me what am I supposed to do?

It’s so hard to understand
What means so much to me
What fills my heart with fire
Will only leave you cold

I wonder what you’re thinking
As we play the game again
I wonder if you knew my thoughts
You’d still want me to say

That I will stay with you
Forever if you want me to
As long as there’s a heaven
And that’s a long long time

The more I hide it the more it shows
The more confused I feel
And on my own alone
Tell me what am I supposed to do?

The more I hide it the more it shows…

Jackson Browne - Tender Is The Night - Rockpalast

via youtube.com

Between the darkness on the street
And the houses filling up with light
Between the stillness in my heart
And the roar of the approaching night
Somebody’s calling after somebody
Somebody turns the corner out of sight
Looking for somebody
Somewhere in the night

Tender is the night
When you hold your baby tight
Tender are the motions, tender is the night

Between a life that we expected
And the way it’s always been
I can’t walk back in again
After the way we fight
When just outside there are people laughing
Living lives we used to lead
Chasing down the love they need
Somewhere in the night

Tender is the night
And the benediction of the neon light
Tender are the hunters, tender is the night

You’re gonna want me tonight
When you’re ready to surrender
Forget about who’s right
When you’re ready to remember
It’s another world at night
When you’re ready to be tender

Tender, tender tender…

And in the hard light of an angry sun
No one remembers what was said or done
Tender are the words they choose
You win, I win, we lose

Tender
Tender is the night
Tender
The benediction of the neon light
Tender
Tender are the hunters
Tender is the night
When they hold each other tight
Tender
Tender are the undercover
Tender
The stranger and the secret lover
Tender
Tender are the motions
Tender is the night
When you hold your baby tight

Tender, tender tender…

Jackson Browne - Late For The Sky - Rockpalast

via youtube.com

Now the words had all been spoken
And somehow the feeling still wasn’t right
And still we continued on through the night
Tracing our steps from the beginning
Until they vanished into the air
Trying to understand how our lives had led us there

Looking hard into your eyes
There was nobody I’d ever known
Such an empty surprise to feel so alone

Now for me some words come easy
But I know that they don’t mean that much
Compared with the things that are said when lovers touch
You never knew what I loved in you
I don’t know what you loved in me
Maybe the picture of somebody you were hoping I might be

Awake again I can’t pretend and I know I’m alone
And close to the end of the feeling we’ve known

How long have I been sleeping
How long have I been drifting alone through the night
How long have I been dreaming I could make it right
If I closed my eyes and tried with all my might
To be the one you need

Awake again I can’t pretend and I know I’m alone
And close to the end of the feeling we’ve known

How long have I been sleeping
How long have I been drifting alone through the night
How long have I been running for that morning flight
Through the whispered promises and the changing light
Of the bed where we both lie
Late for the sky

Jackson Browne - The Late Show (Late For the Sky - 1974)

via youtube.com

Everyone I’ve ever known has wished me well
Anyway that’s how it seems, it’s hard to tell
Maybe people only ask you how you’re doing
‘Cause that’s easier than letting on how little they could care
But when you know that you’ve got a real friend somewhere
Suddenly all the others are so much easier to bear

Now to see things clear it’s hard enough I know
While you’re waiting for reality to show
Without dreaming of the perfect love
And holding it so far above
That if you stumbled onto someone real, you’d never know
(You’d never know)
You could be with somebody who is lonely too
(Sometimes it doesn’t show)
He might be trying to get across to you
(Words can be so slow)
When your own emptiness is all that’s getting through
There comes a point when you’re not sure why you’re still talking
I passed that point long ago
(Long ago)
Now I’m so tired of all this circling
And all these glimpses of the end
(You know it’s useless to pretend)
That’s all the voices say:
“You’ll go right on circling
Until you’ve found some kind of friend”
