Rewind..

I am distraught ….and for no particular reason…….dispair overwhelms me with its cold frosty hands…….

I am losing……

Losing the fire that keeps me going……

The flame inside reduced to mere ember….ready to give out….

Why can't we just rewind?
Why can't we just rewind?

Rewind~ Paolo Nutini

“Picking up the pieces….of the wreck you went and left…..”

No I am not sleeping at night….. I have become a nomad with no real home to warm me…….

“I am dealing with dilemmas…..in my now so stressful life……”

I wish I could shift this heavy weight just for awhile……..and take the bitterness out of the sting…..

“I have made my home here on the floor”

I am drenched in the coolness of a cold floor……

Am not sleeping at night…… “Oh you might blame it on me”……..

Washed your hands of me…….now am going all out…….

“Why can’t we just rewind?”

Why can’t I just rewind……..?

Complicated Theories…

I dreamt of making that trip yesterday…….a trip to the street of dreams…….why do these memories resurface? and the songs replay?

Why do I have a picture in my note-book?

The picture of a someday……

Why are the words “Someday……you know what my fear is? that there will be no someday” written on it?

I Miss You Love ~ Maria Mena

Any day now...

“I’ve run out complicated theories
so now I’m taking back my words”
I have made excuses …….and there is no excuse good enough……because it does not make sense……“Remind me why we decided this was for the best”

It is not about wanting closure or solving a riddle…….I am just wondering when did that 2 second delay…..become permenent one……in that long distance conversation

“I know the distance is a factor but I stretch as often as I can” I gave in….and I gave up……. I wanted answers…….

“Don’t act like you don’t know me
It’s still me, I never changed”
I did not intend the cold shoulder…..nor did I ever mean to not  forget…..

Am I a mere memory now of a someday? I am just turning the pages in a notebook……and I hesitate to find that picture……of a someday…….and I will never not forget the day the phone rang on the other end of the line…..why is that virtual walk etched in my head……

Suspended….

Ends beginning...

Inspiration…….

Suddenly…..you find it…..

You find that song,

Something moves inside you….

A Trigger….

A Flame…..

A Rage….

A Madness….

And You find yourself falling…..

Shattered ~ Trading Yesterday

They are a Christian band……and they blew me away with this one song……

I could not write about this song…… I could not write about its profoundness……

I could not write about its meaning…….

I could not write why it made sense to me…..

I could not write about my own failing faith…..or the lost hope……

“And I’ve lost who I am
And I can’t understand
Why my heart is so broken
Rejecting your love
Without love gone wrong
Life
Less words
Carry on”

“But I know
All I know
Is that the end’s beginning”

“Who I am from the start
Take me home to my heart
Let me go
And I will run
I will not be silenced”

“All this time spent in vain
Wasted years
Wasted gain
All is lost
Hope remains
And this war’s not over”

“There’s a light
There’s the sun
Taking all the shattered ones
To the place we belong
And his love will conquer all”

But I did write one thing…….

I wrote “I thought about you when I heard it”

It was my peace-offering.


This Moment….

I am falling asleep but I still want to write about this one song which brings back the feeling of  nostalgia….

The one that is filled with memories of vulnerability and torment…..

All I Want~ Susie Suh

I don’t know if it is the piano……

I don’t know of it is her voice…..

I don’t know if it is the words…..or the pain in which she sings them…..

I can never get enough of this song….

As I sit, hearing it play endlessly…… I let myself drown…..in the myriad waves of emotions that sweep over me…

Free Falling...

“Too many times, I have wondered” she sings……“What all trying is for” ?? she wonders….

“You come around, I feel so down, I’m gonna drown” as she drowns…..in remorse and regret……because she knows …..“I know that you’ve fallen short”…….what it feels to be let down…..

“And too many times, I have wanted”……..and many times she has wanted to “To turn around and walk away

Because she knows deep inside…….she cannot be provided with what she needs……

As she contemplates……leaving……..

“I tell you that I wanna go” but she really wants to stay

“I tell you that I wanna go, but I wanna stay”

She wants to stay….but she knows she is going to lose herself…..

I tell you that I wanna go, but I wanna stay, I tell you that I wanna go, but I wanna stay, I wanna stay,I wanna stay,I wanna stay……But I know I’m gonna lose myself this way”

“but…..” she asks  “do you know”? It doesn’t change……“The way I feel about you at the end of the day”

she knows what she wants when she says “That all I want is what you got”

As she is torn between what she needs and what her heart wants……But it changes nothing………

Nothing changes when you know…….

“But do you know, It doesn’t change
The way I feel about you at the end of the day
‘Cause I know
That all I want is what you got”

But this moment is all I’ve got

It’s all I’ve got……..


Standing on the edge…

I Remember...

Can you alter your memories? Smudge/Erase/Rewrite

I Will Remember You~ Sarah McLachlan

“I’m so tired,I can’t sleep
Standin’ on the edge of something much too deep”

Remembering  is like being on a ferris wheel…..

When you  rise and fall with and against the force of gravity…..

“We are screaming inside, we can’t be heard

You scream but you cannot hear yourself…..

“I will remember you

Will you remember me?”

I doubt we can Erase/Smudge/Rewrite those memories…..

“Don’t let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories”

Lets not weep….for they are but mere memories…..

No not mine….

Pete Murray~ So Beautiful

The Sound

Probably one of the most subtle Love/Hate songs I really understand completely……..Neatly put……

I was meaning to put this song up for a while now…never got around to it…..

I have this feeling that everything around me is changing……..or maybe it is me…..maybe I am changing…..

But I remember a few who changed before I did……

The change in them dictated their perception…….

“And all the clothes that you wear
And the colors in your hair
Shouldn’t change you”

Probably one of the few things I could never come in terms with easily….Change……

“Now the scene that you’re in
And the people that you been with
Just get to me
But you think I’m not as cool”

Change……No longer bothers me……..

Change……Does not catch me off guard……..not anymore……

Change……

“Now you think your so damn fine
You can rule the world no not mine
I don’t think so”

Probably you will rule the world one day……but ……..never….. mine……No….I don’t think so…..

Well I’m here to tell you babe
The game you’re in is just a game
So damn pretentious

I got my fingers burned……….

“You have changed so much that I don’t know
If I can call you and tell you I care”

Rescue Boat…

It’s funny when you talk to people on the phone……people you have never met before………

How do you put a face to a name or a voice? Beats me…..

Can you say much about people just  by hearing their voice? I don’t know……..

Give Me Heart ~ Susie Suh

A Beautiful Voice and a Beautiful Song…… when I hear it….I always feel like there are feathers falling down all around…….in a slow but beautiful motion……..

Empty Streets
Empty Streets

“The water is rushing in
I feel it on my skin
Our boat is sinking now”

Ever feel like you are phony sometimes?…….Like you are trying hard to be someone you are not……..

Like you are always swimming against the wrong tide…….

Like you are on the right track……but on the wrong train……

“I wake up
I grab my things
As the waves keep
Rollin’ in”

I wake up everyday and ask myself……how will I get there? but I never can find the answer ……

Simply because…..I dont know where I wanna go…….

“I ask myself
“Oh what’s the point?”
“What’s the point of it all?”
“What’s the point?””

Honestly…..what is the point?……….when does it begin to stop? and when does it really start to begin?

“Time goes by so slow
When you’re waiting
For a rescue boat
The water’s getting cold”

One thing I do know is that there is not much I do know…..

“All I ever really wanted was to”

Close my eyes and hear the waves crash endlessly…….

“All I ever really wanted was to”

Feel the sand under my bare feet……

“All I ever really wanted was to”

Wake up,  not worrying about how I am going to get there…….because I am where I ought to be…..where I belong

“All I ever really wanted was to”………

“Dream”


The Images Vol.1.0

Dream
Can you hear the people sing?
Hometown
Way back to sanity?
Differences
Glow in the dark
Fire fades
The Window Sill
Whimsical rain drops….
Pretty Pretty
Flaws in Science…
The more I learn
Seasons Greetings
Shot me down…
The Ode
Been a long day
Light
The unknown Painting
Picture of Sinatra on my work board?
Where I stood…
Knocking me sideways…
Sidewalk
The Remains
Madness in my head
Wings
Am standing upright on my own…
Folds...
Unfold
I know its out there
Antique or Unwanted?
Light & Hope
Duck!
Just one question
Often by a Window
Little flakes...
The Human
You can't await your own arrival!
Blurr
Blurr...

Close enough….

Folds...
Unfold

There are no real musings lately……none worth filling the space …..

Just empty thoughts…….

You do something to me~ Paul Weller

I go way back with this song…..

A blunt and sharp mix of emotions…

The reminiscent….remains of a memory…..

“Mixing my emotions – that throws me back again.
Hanging on the wire, I’m waiting for the change.”

As we wait ……for the meteor to hit……place everything on stand by for the lightning to strike…..

“I’m dancing through the fire, just to catch a flame – An’ feel real again”

Just to find THE “Moment of clarity”

When the world will make sense again…..

“I’m hoping to get close to  a peace I cannot find “

Exhausting the inner strength to last…… finding it easy to still the rush…….and losing the state of exhilaration……

“I’m hanging on the wire – for a love I’ll never find”

Optimism is not a choice or a forte….to be picked, sieved and prepared……nor is it an armour created to save the hollowness within….

“Just to get close to, just close enough”

What if close enough is not enough?

They say-

“Beggars cannot be choosers”

Not here to beg………but to choose and be chosen……..

The Ode..

Ode to a Nightingale(1819)

The Ode

“My heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains
My sense, as though of hemlock I had drunk,
Or emptied some dull opiate to the drains
One minute past, and Lethe-wards had sunk:
‘Tis not through envy of thy happy lot,
But being too happy in thine happiness, –
That thou, light-winged Dryad of the trees,
In some melodious plot
Of beechen green and shadows numberless,
Singest of summer in full-throated ease.”

~ John Keates ~

(1795 – 1821)
