(cut'n'paste from http://africanhistory.about.com/od/glossaryu/g/Ubuntu.htm)
Ubuntu is a Nguni word which has no direct translation into English, but is used to describe a particular African worldview in which people can only find fulfilment through interacting with other people. Thus is represents a spirit of kinship across both race and creed which united mankind to a common purpose.
Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu has said "Ubuntu is very difficult to render into a Western language…It is to say. 'My humanity is caught up, is inextricably bound up, in what is yours'…"

The grizzled old tour guide led us to the Meeting House, where he described Shaker worship, which was mostly communal dancing and singing. He took his place over one of the little wood markers inlaid in the wide floor. Then he sang this song and did the accompanying dance. It was so joyous I wanted him to teach me, then we could do it together. Just didn't have the guts to speak up.
Shakers were unique to the day. Pacifist, communal, industrious, rigorous equality of the sexes, simple, successful. They invented the washing machine. Go Shakers!

Well, then there goes the likes of Vedder, Bono, Knopfler, Jagger. Singing off key, out of tune, no octaves or quavers or in whatever manner does not sound polished! How dare they sing great songs without singing like, you know, Michael Buble!

Cracker - Sidi Ifni
(Nov 13, 2012 - 13:48) | check out the lyrics on thees poetry
We walked down a long promenade
Down a winding stair, wide as boulevards
Vines and shrubs grew between the steps
From the Spanish town to the African sea
We drank wine and toasted to the day
When she was the queen, before the long decay
We drank wine, slept off hangovers
Lethargy, decay and forgotten loves
We’d awake to the BBC
An old English queen on the balcony
Wander ’round abandoned consulates
An old broken chair on the marble stair
And from the roof, see Canary seas
The discarded runway of Sidi Ifni
We drank wine lying on our backs
On the warm tarmac, in a bowl of stars
Well, I went down, mostly on my own
Till I was alone in that shipwrecked house
Through the porthole sea—an epiphany
I would never leave this place alive
I drink gin with the old ex-pats
We are broken things, from a broken past
And it comes near; but just out of grasp
The alchemist words that would bring her back

Neil Young - Natural Beauty
(Oct 27, 2012 - 08:32) | "Natural Beauty"
On the roller coaster ride
That my emotions have to take me on
I heard a newborn baby cry
Through the night.
I heard a perfect echo die
Into an anonymous wall
of digital sound
Somewhere deep inside
Of my soul.
A natural beauty should be preserved
like a monument to nature
Don't judge yourself too harsh,
my love
Or someday you might find
your soul endangered
A natural beauty should be preserved
like a monument to nature.
Amazon
You had so much
and now so much is gone
What are you gonna do
With your life?
What a lucky man.
To see the earth
before it touched his hand
What an angry fool
To condemn.
One more night to go
One more sleep
upon your burning banks
A greedy man never knows
What he's done.
A natural beauty should be preserved
like a monument to nature
Don't start yourself too short,
my love
Or someday you might find
your soul endangered
A natural beauty should be preserved
like a monument to nature.
Went to the rodeo today
I saw the cowgirls
lined up on the fence
A brand new Chevrolet
A brand new pair of seamless pants.
We watched the moment of defeat
Played back over on the video screen
Somewhere deep inside
Of my soul.
A natural beauty should be preserved
like a monument to nature.

Anyway, I often email artists if I like their stuff and did so to him. . . he mailed back and we had a bit of a chat. He seems a top bloke and is about to release another cd he has been slaving over.

There are 100,000,000,000 stars in the Milky Way Galaxy.

That's 5.0 × 1022 stars in the known universe ... or:
50,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars
To put that in perspective, that's more stars in the universe than grains of sand on all of earth's beaches.
To say that just one of those stars, by some "wild ass cosmic mistake," has a planet containing the ingredients for life (liquid water, energy and organic material) goes against logic and probability. In fact, it has been found that several of Jupiter's and Saturn's moons contain liquid water, organic material and tidal energy created by the gravitational forces of the planet's they orbit.
Life may not be as precious or unique as we once imagined.

"It's own weight" means the music is ponderous and the lyrics are pretentious. As a result, the song is heavy, but not meaty. Still, I do enjoy it enough to listen all the way through.
As for "Green" as a whole, it was the first R.E.M. record for which my initial "WTF?" was never fully replaced with "OMG!" It does have some great songs, though: Get Up, You Are The Everything, Stand are all top-notch and Turn You Inside Out is good rock. Most of the other songs are better left forgotten. I've never fully recovered from the disappointment of seeing the words to the god-awful World Leader Pretend printed on the sleeve like poetry.
isn't it true that all disappointment has it's roots in expectation ??

Shut the gates and sunset
After that you can't get out
You can see the bigger picture
Find out what it’s all about
You're open to the skyline
You won't want to go back home
In a garden full of angels
You will never be alone But oh the road is long
The stones that you are walking on
Have gone With the moonlight to guide you
Feel the joy of being alive
The day that you stop running
Is the day that you arrive And the night that you got locked in
Was the time to decide
Stop chasing shadows
Just enjoy the ride If you close the door to your house
Don't let anybody in
It's a room that's full of nothing
All that underneath your skin
Face against the window
You can't watch it fade to grey
And you'll never catch the fickle wind
If you choose to stay But oh the road is long
The stones that you are walking on
Have gone With the moonlight to guide you
Feel the joy of being alive
The day that you stop running
Is the day that you arrive And the night that you got locked in
Was the time to decide
Stop chasing shadows
Just enjoy the ride Stop chasing shadows
Just enjoy the ride

Paul Simon - Born At The Right Time (live)
(Jun 03, 2010 - 17:30) | wow
Down among the reeds and rushes
A baby boy was found
His eyes as clear as centuries
His silky hair was brown Never been lonely
Never been lied to
Never had to scuffle in fear
Nothing denied to
Born at the instant
The church bells chime
And the whole world whispering
Born at the right time Me and my buddies we are travelling people
We like to go down to restaurant row
Spend those euro-dollars
All the way from washington to tokyo
I see them in the airport lounge
Upon their mother's breast
They follow me with open eyes
Their uninvited guest Never been lonely
Never been lied to
Find More lyrics at www.sweetslyrics.com
Never had to scuffle in fear
Nothing denied to
Born at the instant
The church bells chime
And the whole world whispering
Born at the right time Too many people on the bus from the airport
Too many holes in the crust of the earth
The planet groans
Every time it registers another birth But among the reeds and rushes
A baby girl was found
Her eyes as clear as centuries
Her silky hair was brown Never been lonely
Never been lied to
Never had to scuffle in fear
Nothing denied to
Born at the instant
The church bells chime
And the whole world whispering
Born at the right time

Sierra Leone Refugee All-Stars - Living Stone

If the refugee is today's tragic icon of a war-ravaged world, then Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars, a reggae-inflected band born in the camps of West Africa, represents a real-life story of survival and hope. The six-member Refugee All Stars came together in Guinea after civil war forced them from their native Sierra Leone. Traumatized by physical injuries and the brutal loss of family and community, they fight back with the only means they have — music. The result is a tableau of tragedy transformed by the band's inspiring determination to sing and be heard. A Diverse Voices Project co-production.

Kate Bush - Somewhere in Between

And stopped
Still It was just so beautiful
It was just so beautiful
It was just so beautiful This is where the shadows come to play
'Twixt the day
And night
Dancing and skipping
Along a chink of light Somewhere in between
The waxing and the waning wave
Somewhere in between
What the song and silence say
Somewhere in between
The ticking and the tocking clock
Somewhere in a dream between
Sleep and waking up
Somewhere in between
Breathing out and breathing in
Like twilight is neither night nor morning Not one of us would dare to break
The silence
Oh how we have longed
For something that would
Make us feel so… Somewhere in between
The waxing and the waning wave
Somewhere in between
The night and the daylight
Somewhere in between
The ticking and the tocking clock
Somewhere in between
What the song and silence say Somewhere in between
Breathing out and breathing in The Chorus :
Goodnight sun
Goodnight sun The sun :
Goodnight mum

Out in the garden where we planted the seeds
There is a tree that's old as me
Branches were sewn by the color of green
Ground had arose and passed its knees
By the cracks of the skin I climbed to the top
I climbed the tree to see the world
When the gusts came around to blow me down
I held on as tightly as you held onto me

It was a magical feeling, and I found myself driven to find more music that lifted me and gave me more. Rush led to yes, and Pink Floyd, and Zeppelin. Then the doors were wide open — all the great classic rock like Hendrix, Clapton, Moody Blues, the Dead, and a thousand more. Peter Gabriel. Fugazi. Pixies. Jane's Addiction, Bauhaus, Sisters of Mercy, Dead Can Dance, Cocteau Twins, Caterwaul. Hell, anything on 4AD, Homestead, IRS, or Sub Pop. And now, Wilco, Neko Case, Widespread Panic, Porcupine Tree, Shins, Snow Patrol, My Morning Jacket, and more. It started here, and now, 28 years later, when this song comes on, I still feel like that twelve year old kid hearing it for the very first time.

Or, they should learn the power of the mute button. I instinctively mute whenever a commercial comes up. For added fun, invent your own soundtrack with each commercial.

I agree with you about the variety. There is a whole lot here at RP that I don't like either, but I like about half, and flat out love about a quarter of it. I can't do better anywhere else. I don't agree with you about negative comments. Most are just tongue-in-cheek harmless banter. It is nice to hear why a particular poster does not like a song/group, but it's not required. Just lighten up and don't take a dissenting voice or opinion for more than what it is - an expression of another person's own preference. Believe me, no negative poster can harm the inviolable reputation of The Talking Heads' or The Cure, and if it distracts from your enjoyment, then don't read the posts.

The Old Ceremony - Poison Pen
(Mar 14, 2009 - 15:49) | this sounds like the guggenheim grotto guy
oh my
Well, we needed some help
Tearing down these trees.
Our numbers were few,
Withered down by disease.
We sent messengers home.
We begged on our knees that winter.
And soon ships arrived to Charleston Bay.
Savages sold to those who could pay
To carry our loads, to work night and day.
And the laws of this world
Were not handed down to men.
They were written by our own hands.
They were written by our own hands.
The were written by our own hands
With a poison pen.
Well, all the amber waves of grain
The forests proud, the dusty clay
Bow down before the mighty trains of iron
All the words are a-cast,
But the meanings the same.
Those who are proud,
They will someday be lame.
And all that is wild will someday be tame.
And the laws of this world
Were not handed down to men.
They were written by our own hands.
They were written by our own hands.
The were written by our own hands
With a poison pen.
We hold these truths so near to our hearts,
We wave them like flags when trouble starts.
We deal them out like a stacked deck of cards
To the hungry:
That all men are free,
All men are wise,
All men except the ones we despise,
The ones who must beg and steal to survive.
And the laws of this world
Were not handed down to men.
They were written by our own hands.
They were written by our own hands.
The were written by our own hands
With a poison pen.
They were written by our own hands
With a poison pen.

Have fallen from her curls.
She takes just like a woman, yes, she does

And she aches just like a woman
But she breaks just like a little girl.
Queen mary, shes my friend
Yes, I believe Ill go see her again
Nobody has to guess
Hat baby cant be blessed
Till she sees finally that shes like all the rest
With her fog, her amphetamine and her pearls.
She takes just like a woman, yes, she does
She makes love just like a woman, yes, she does
And she aches just like a woman
But she breaks just like a little girl.
It was raining from the first
And I was dying there of thirst
So I came in here
And your long-time curse hurts
But whats worse
Is this pain in here
I cant stay in here
Aint it clear that? br>
I just cant fit
Yes, I believe its time for us to quit
When we meet again
Introduced as friends
Please dont let on that you knew me when
I was hungry and it was your world.
Ah, you fake just like a woman, yes, you do
You make love just like a woman, yes, you do
Then you ache just like a woman
But you break just like a little girl.

oh yeah the next messiah
Living in the meadow,
the mighty mighty meadow.
With too many people,
sucking all the water.
Yeah my daddy was a farmer.
He was a race car driver.
He is a four leaf clover.
He is the next messiah. Now he's living in the woods,
the dark and dank woods.
With a cocktail waitress,
who thinks she's an artist.
Take her down to the river,
split her right up the middle.
Now there's gonna be trouble,
for a pregnant lamb and a convent. I sit in the clink,
dye his hair in the sink.
And the tumor gonna make a
man out of him.
Now my daddy was a chancer.
He was a bad check bouncer.
But if he had cancer,
he's a survivor.
He's the next messiah.
Covering it up,
squeezing it out,
watching it bleed.
You're watching it all,
taking it back.
She's down on her knees.
When did she come to detest you?
Giving it back,
backing you up,
nothing's for free.
You're giving it back,
for locking you up,
those terrible deeds.
When will they come to arrest you?
When did she come to detest you? When will they come to arrest you?
When did she come to detest you? I'm gonna give my love to you on a day you gotta bring it back.
I want to tell you I love you. I want to tell you I love you.
I'm gonna go out walking baby, better be here when I get back.I'm gonna give my love to you on a day you gotta bring it back.
I want to tell you I love you. He's the next messiah.

poetry on a nightrain
And everyone's an
island edged with sand
A temporary refuge where somebody else can
stand
Till the sea that binds us like the forced tie of a blood oath
Will
wear it down, dissolve it, recombine it
Anyone can die here they do it
every day
It doesn't take much effort though it goes against the
grain
And the ultimate forgetfulness of violence
Sweeps the landscape
like a headlight of a train

We do subscribe to a culture of greed, and it is this culture which will ultimately be our downfall. Many people across the world know it, and are waiting for it to happen. Many people here know it as well, but less will admit it here. This is not doomsday, it is simple math. You can't have a country that consumes 1/4th of the world resources that says everybody should be like us survive. Period. Every country can't consume 1/4th of the world's resources. We are setting ourselves up for failure.
