What are you listening to ?

I talk to the wind
My words are all carried away
I talk to the wind
The wind does not hear
The wind cannot hear

*sigh*

King Crimson (Judy Dyble vocal)
 
the history of the world, my pet

is learn forgiveness
and try to forget

life is for the alive, my dear

so let's keep living it

just keep living it

Really Living it

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street

Final Scene Lyrics

(Sweeney Todd murders the innocent and wicked, alike.)
 
I look out the window and I wonder at it all
Staring at the symbols that decorate the wall
And everybody's calling to come and join them all
But I can't go with no one till I understand the call

Don't come round for me unless you've got what I
Don't come round for me unless you've got what I
Don't come round for me unless you've got what I want

I want some demystification
I want some demystification
I want some demystification about what's going on

My electronic shaver won't plug into the wall
Now I can't go to the party the electrician didn't call
And I hear they're counting numbers in a store down in Whitehall
So much information what can they do with it all?

Don't come round for me unless you've got what I
Don't come round for me unless you've got what I
Don't come round for me unless you've got what I want

I want some demystification
I want some demystification
I want some demystification about what's going on

Some people talk of Shiva and some they talk of God
Some talk of politicians and some they talk of love
Demystify their heroes with the chances we could take
I'm not looking for escapism I just want to escape

Don't come round for me unless you've got what I
Don't come round for me unless you've got what I
Don't come round for me unless you've got what I want

I want some demystification
I want some demystification
I want some demystification about what's going on

Don't come round for me unless you've got what I
Don't come round for me unless you've got what I
Don't come round for me unless you've got what I want

I want some demystification
I want some demystification
I want some demystification about what's going on
I want some demystification
I want some demystification
I want some demystification about what's going on

Prince Needed a Hit. Batman Needed a Song. And So the World Got ‘Batdance.’

Thirty-one years after the Purple One’s weirdest No. 1 smash ruled radio, we’re still not
sure if it’s terrible or avant-garde. But there’s never been anything like it.

a look back at Prince’s big Batman hit- “Batdance”

Prince Rogers Nelson had been a fan of the Caped Crusader as a kid.
On a few different occasions, the musician (who died in 2016 at the age of 57)
mentioned that the first song he ever learned to play was the theme to the jokey
1960s Batman show.

Because Batman has now been part of our movie culture for more than 30 years,
it’s hard to remember that the 1989 film was something of a risk.

“It tainted something that I don’t want to taint, which is how you feel about an artist,”
the director said in the early 1990s when the subject of Prince working on Batman
came up.

Although still a superstar, Prince needed a hit, and the assumption has always been that
with Batman, he figured he could get just that.

Still, none of that explains “Batdance,” the first single off his Batman album, which hit radio a few weeks before the Burton film arrived in theaters.

“Batdance” builds in intensity as Joker and Batman face off at the end,
closing on the bad guy’s horrifying laugh.

Batdance” feels like a bittersweet bridge between Prince’s commercial/creative peak of the 1980s and the rockier trajectory of his later career.

You could never get away with releasing a “Batdance” now — the movie producers would demand something far more accessible and poppy —
but that’s partly what makes it so striking today.

The song is basically a chopped-up coming attraction for a movie we’ve now all seen —
and one that’s been largely forgotten because of the Christopher Nolan Batman movies
that have come since. You’ll have to take my word on it but, back in the summer of 1989
“Batdance” was a big deal. Now, it’s a curiosity or a punchline.

“I’ve seen the future and it will be,” Prince declares at one point in the song.

For once, this visionary artist had it wrong.
