YouTube Video of the Day: Band of Horses - The Funeral December 31, 2006

Posted by ~V~ in : Video, Sounds, YouTube Video of the Day , add a comment

At every occasion i’ll be ready for the funeral.
At every occasion, once more it’s called the funeral.
At every occasion, i’m ready for the funeral.
At every occasion, one brilliant day funeral.

i’m coming up only to show you down for…
i’m coming up only to show you wrong.
To the outside, the dead leaves, they are alone.
‘Fore they died, had trees to hang their hope.

Hey, there’s a horseshoe on my door — big deal.
And say, there’s a black cat on the floor — big deal.

Time.

Well do you know where you belong?
And is your star sign ever wrong?

Teenage Fanclub - Star Sign (6.8MB mp3)

from the album Bandwagonesque

The cards are speaking…

If these things change your day,
well if this song makes your day —

Seen it all before, seen it all before.
Given time these things will change…

Picture of the Day: from the Voyager Tarot - XXI Universe December 21, 2006

XXI-Universe
(click on image to see full-size)

The Universe symbolizes the law of universality.
You are the universe.

Like the center stone, you possess within yourself
a universe of possibilities. What you can see in your
mind’s eye exists. Like Michelangelo, you can sculpt
anything out of yourself — a flower, a city, a god, a star.

Like the stone, you are whole and perfect; but as the
uncompleted sculpture, “The Awakening Giant,” your life
is an unfinished process. Always in a state of becoming,
you are simultaneously completing and beginning.

And when you dream, you dream of the day
when you find something you can love half as much
as you love all your little round mirrors…

there’s a hole in the middle you can’t seem to fill…

See yourself reflected in one —
there’s a hole in the middle you can’t seem to fill.

YouTube Video of the Day: Johnny Cash - Hurt December 19, 2006

Posted by ~V~ in : Video, Sounds, YouTube Video of the Day , add a comment

i hurt myself today to see if i still feel.
i focus on the pain —
the only thing that’s real.

What have i become?
My sweetest friend…
Everyone i know goes away in the end.

If i could start again a million miles away,
i would keep myself —
i would find a way.

All this lip distortion it brings me down.
So i’m not perfect — i still want you around.

I fight a peace that does not include you.  I fight an ending i didn’t choose.

i disagree with all this nonsense
so i go on and take these chances…

…at least i can say i took these chances.
