Broaden My Horizons Please... Musically

Thro’ the ghoul-guarded gateways of slumber,
Past the wan-moon’d abysses of night,
I have liv’d o’er my lives without number,
I have sounded all things with my sight;
And I struggle and shriek ere the daybreak, being driven to madness with fright.

I have whirl’d with the earth at the dawning,
When the sky was a vaporous flame;
I have seen the dark universe yawning,
Where the black planets roll without aim;
Where they roll in their horror unheeded, without knowledge or lustre or name.

I had drifted o’er seas without ending,
Under sinister grey-clouded skies
That the many-fork’d lightning is rending,
That resound with hysterical cries;
With the moans of invisible daemons that out of the green waters rise.

I have plung’d like a deer thro’ the arches
Of the hoary primordial grove,
Where the oaks feel the presence that marches
And stalks on where no spirit dares rove;
And I flee from a thing that surrounds me, and leers thro’ dead branches above.

I have stumbled by cave-ridden mountains
That rise barren and bleak from the plain,
I have drunk of the fog-foetid fountains
That ooze down to the marsh and the main;
And in hot cursed tarns I have seen things I care not to gaze on again.

I have scann’d the vast ivy-clad palace,
I have trod its untenanted hall,
Where the moon writhing up from the valleys
Shews the tapestried things on the wall;
Strange figures discordantly woven, which I cannot endure to recall.

I have peer’d from the casement in wonder
At the mouldering meadows around,
At the many-roof’d village laid under
The curse of a grave-girdled ground;
And from rows of white urn-carven marble I listen intently for sound.

I have haunted the tombs of the ages,
I have flown on the pinions of fear
Where the smoke-belching Erebus rages,
Where the jokulls loom snow-clad and drear:
And in realms where the sun of the desert consumes what it never can cheer.

I was old when the Pharaohs first mounted
The jewel-deck’d throne by the Nile;
I was old in those epochs uncounted
When I, and I only, was vile;
And Man, yet untainted and happy, dwelt in bliss on the far Arctic isle.

Oh, great was the sin of my spirit,
And great is the reach of its doom;
Not the pity of Heaven can cheer it,
Nor can respite be found in the tomb:
Down the infinite aeons come beating the wings of unmerciful gloom.

Thro’ the ghoul-guarded gateways of slumber,
Past the wan-moon’d abysses of night,
I have liv’d o’er my lives without number,
I have sounded all things with my sight;
And I struggle and shriek ere the daybreak, being driven to madness with fright.

I think today “The Middle” by Jimmy Eat World should be played at full volume while dancing like no one is watching.

In my case right now I’ll just have be that weird girl in the corner dancing in her chair.

Make it the whole album. The lead singer is rediculously nice.

It was just on my "cheerful"playlist on Spotify. I think we're supposed to have sun tomorrow. You know it's bad when they start counting the days without sun on the radio.

I can do without the sun as long as the temperatures aren't frigid and I can deal with the frigid temperatures as long as there is sun.

I've never really explored this kind of music, but I ran across this piece on a free album and I kind of like it. Catchy tune and beat, but peaceful and innocuous at the same time:

Mala Ganguly (Artist) - "Om Shanti"

suck on some matt berry, you fuckers.

So take my hand
We’ll disappear to a pub that’s not too far from here
Though I don’t know you and you don’t know me
I just had to talk to you, you see

The arrogance, a foolish move
If you take a risk, your odds improve
See, you don’t know me and I don’t know you
I’m not weird or queer, my aim is true

Everybody I know these days is boring me
Or ignoring me
But not you

So take my hand
We’ll disappear to a pub that’s not too far from here
Though I don’t know you and you don’t know me
I just had to talk to you, you see

So say you’ll come, please don’t go
You could be the one for all I know
Well, I don’t know you, though I’d sure like to
I can see the light, it looks like you
So say you’ll come, please don’t go
You could be the one for all I know
Well, I don’t know you, though I’d sure like to
I can see the light, it looks like you
So take my hand

also, this even though it isn't music.

Somehow country music has invaded my Spotify list this morning - it’s a good morning for my cup of tea, the solitude I’m being graced with, the unexpected calm....

And I think I have listened to Krysta Nicks’ Miles Away three times this morning for reminiscent purposes. She has a beautiful voice.

Fire In The Radio - New Air (Full Album)

Pilot To Gunner - Get Saved (Full Album)

Here’s an oldie. These guys were my first concert. 1979 blossom music center Ohio. My sister took me. I was 10 ... people/total strangers in the grass would actually ask you to watch thier stuff while they went to the restroom

And it was weird. People would be cool and actually make sure nobody or anything was missing when they came back.

Heard this song earlier today and it has been trapped in my brain since:

Amy Winehouse - Tears Dry On Their Own

I like her voice a lot. But why does she seem to only do love songs.

i almost went with paw paw negro blowtorch by eno, but i figure the negro part might be problematic even though he was an actual person. also, that's the lead in to baby's on fire which should tell you something. namely, that brian eno is kind of a weirdo.

still, apparently eno isn't for everyone and not just because he produced a few albums by some shitty bands like coldplay and u2. and devo, but devo isn't shitty.

anyway, here's a song you'll hate by eno from the same album: cindy tells me

best with headphones so you can hear the guitar moving around your head.

No to Paw Paw. Just a bit too weird sounding.

Yes to Cindy.

I'm not feeling very new age-y tonight. But thank you anyway.

Too love song-y but pretty nonetheless.

Never heard of Douglas Reynholm until now. He's a bit... weird.

Angry love songs are still love songs. Though some of them remind me of some of the "punk" stuff from the 80s. Better than your last offerings.

I'll take Jethro Tull Teacher.

Some I have ran across in the past few weeks and added.

Dave Graney – 'Feelin' Kinda Sporty'

Kylie Minogue – 'Did It Again'

Rush - Spirit of Radio, Freewill, Limelight.

And that concludes our broadcast day girls and boys.

Had to look it up to see which you meant, I never whould have guessed that song was called that.

Me today

http://youtu.be/NTxLr2X3fSw

if you've never watched the IT crowd you should really get on that.

eta: if only to give some of those bits some context.

Ladri Di Biciclette (Story Song) --- Amanda Homi

Upbeat, silly, bright, sorta fun. I can't say good or bad. Different is all. The only thing I can recall to compare it to is the roller skate and key thing from way back when.

Shyla Amzah

Something a bit different. I have seen this woman perform in Seoul (South Korea) and Shanghai (China) You have to be there to see this tiny woman (she always wears 6" heels) with a big voice just grab an audience.

First song is in Mandarin and as you can tell from the audience it is a major tear jerker.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJiHWRJW6UI

Second is in English and too well known to need further comment.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWZ7KtRSoAo

She is essentially an Asian phenomenon because whilst she comes from Malaysia she can speak 7 languages fluently (3 Chinese, Korean, Bahasa Indonesia, Arabic, and English) and has recorded in 20 +

I should come back to this thread.

I could use more upbeat music.
