NMI Groovy Gallery-share with us what makes you "get down"

Jebus, Skillz.... You like freaking know me lol <3 You got some good taste in toones =D


When I saw TOOL a couple years ago when they were touring during the 10,000 days album. I started to cry when they played the song 10,000 Days.. The screams, the moving sound, the lyrics.. I just broke down. It was beautiful.
NSFW:

We listen to the tales and romanticize,
how we follow the path of the hero.

Boast about the day when the rivers overrun,
How we'll rise to the height of our halo.

Listen to the tales as we all rationalize,
our way into the arms of the savior.
Feigning all the trials and the tribulations.

None of us have actually been there,
Not like you...

Ignorant siblings in the congregation.
Gather around spewing sympathy,
Spare me...

None of them can even hold a candle up to you.
Blinded by choice, these hypocrites won't see.

But enough about the collective Judas.
Who could deny you were the one who illuminated?
Your little piece of the divine.

And this little light of mine, a gift you passed on to me
I'm gonna let it shine
to guide you safely on your way.

Your way home...

Oh, what are they gonna do when the lights go down?
Without you to guide them all to Zion?
What are they gonna do when the rivers overrun?
Other than tremble incessantly.

High is the way,
but our eyes are upon the ground.
You are the light and the way.
They'll only read about.
I only pray heaven knows,
when to lift you out.

10,000 days in the fire is long enough.
You're going home...

You're the only one who can hold your head up high.
Shake your fist at the gates saying,
"I have come home now...!"
Fetch me the spirit, the son and the father.
Tell them their pillar of faith has ascended.

"It's time now!
My time now!
Give me my
Give me my wings...!"

Give me my [x5]

(Give me my wings)

You are the light, the way,
that they will only read about.

Set as I am in my ways and my arrogance.
Burden of proof tossed upon the believers.
You were my witness, my eyes, my evidence,
Judith Marie, unconditional one.

Daylight dims leaving cold fluorescence.
Difficult to see you in this light.
Please forgive this bold suggestion.
Should you see your maker's face tonight,
Look him in the eye.
Look him in the eye and tell him,
I never lived a lie, never took a life,
But surely saved one.

Hallelujah
It's time for you to bring me home.
 
Kottonmouth Kings - Crucial


Just listen to the song and follow along with the lyrics... its really a great song
NSFW:

What is this a binary reality,
Dazed in refracting light?
Or formed in ether from nothing?
What is this a hallogram, an endless platform?
What have we done to enhance this design?
Where do we go when we fear to resign?
What have we done but learned to kill faster?
Where have we gone but straight for disaster?
Dreamtime is fading - Wakeup and decide
This nightmare ends now.
You made a deal with the maker, but
You undecided - Understand the master's plan?
Hell, I designed it
Everytime the shit was loose
Should like fine to see ya livin' outta lifetime
To rewind and look deep in your eyes there
Lookin funky say you got stolen pride
Well I know who took it
Handed you the recipe you just couldn't cook it
Lost in a world cuz technology's wild
I taken a look at the world today
It's a poisoned joint feeding greed and hate
You're either living in love or living in fear
Do it don't tell me "Oh is the end near?"
So damn easy to think we've won
Man over machine is the illusion
It's a journey forget the destination
We've engineered our own destruction
Emergency, Emergency, 911
America's sound - there's no compassion
It's never too late no where to run
Emergency, Emergency, 911
It's crucial in this time
Time has come for all
It's crucial we should be
United soul mind and heart
Know how to taps I can barely work my facts
Triple beam on the scene when
I weigh my sacks
Fuck Y2K you people need to relax
Living like a drone trapped in a time zone
Now times burning away like the wick of a candle
Modern technology's too much to handle
Round my scandals out the ass
They label us as vandals
Breakin' laws they laid never beaten by example
In the world today we're ran like robots
IBMs, Apple IIs, and Mactintosh
Microsoft this world's gettin lost
The boss puffs long but he can't pay the cost
Parked the wrong lot in the parkin lot
Ya I smoke pot cuz I puffs a lot
Connected the dots I picked this plot
Who is he what is it - Get a fast thing
Emergency, Emergency, 911
America's sound - there's no compassion
It's never too late no where to run
Emergency, Emergency, 911
It's crucial in this time
Time has come for all
It's crucial we should be
United soul mind and heart
Oh no they log us in to view
(Satellite dishes got us suspicious)
Computer control the world is confused
(Take cover this is right wing malicious)
Got the cure but the help they refuse
(Survival of the fittest if you fit with the richest)
Created a monster with power to abuse
All mankind the virus
Computer seem to find this obsolete
All mankind designed it
The machine say its time to - Delete.
Its a vicious cycle in over generate
Power's out to conquer infest annihilate
Money taxes faxes religion love and hate
Power greed and envy the new computer age
Its a vicious cycle this crazy thing called life
Big brother stamps you with a code
Preparing you to die
Money money money you need it to survive
Slave away the status-quo trapped in a nine to five
Emergency, Emergency, 911
America's sound - there's no compassion
It's never too late no where to run
Emergency, Emergency, 911
It's crucial in this time
Time has come for all
It's crucial we should be
united soul mind and heart
 
~A Change is Gonna Come by:Same Cooke

NSFW:
I was born by the river in a little tent
Oh and just like the river I've been running ever since
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will

It's been too hard living but I'm afraid to die
Cause I don't know what's up there beyond the sky
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will
I go to the movie and I go downtown
Somebody keep telling me don't hang around
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will

Then I go to my brother
And I say brother help me please
But he winds up knocking me
Back down on my knees

Ohhhhhhhhh.....

There been times that I thought I couldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will



~Mad World by:Gary Jules

NSFW:
All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere

Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take
When people run in circles its a very, very
Mad world, mad world

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy birthday, happy birthday
And I feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen

Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me, what's my lesson?
Look right through me, look right through me

And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take
When people run in circles its a very, very
Mad world, mad world, enlarging your world
Mad world

,, Mad world

, Mad world,



~River of Deceit by:Mad Season

NSFW:
my pain is self-chosen
at least, so the prophet says
i could either burn
or cut off my pride and buy some time
a head full of lies is the weight, tied to my waist

the river of deceit pulls down, oh oh
the only direction we flow is down
down, oh down
down, oh down
down, oh down
down, oh down

my pain is self-chosen
at least i believe it to be
i could either drown
or pull off my skin and swim to shore
now i can grow a beautiful shell for all to see

the river of deceit pulls down, yeah
the only direction we flow is down
down, oh down
down, oh down
down, oh down
down, oh down

the pain is self-chosen, yeah
our pain is self-chosen
down, oh down
down, oh down
down, oh down
down, oh down

~Strange Brew by:Cream

NSFW:
Strange brew -- killin' what's inside of you.
She's a witch of trouble in electric blue.
In her own mad mind she's in love with you,
With you.
Now what you gonna do?
Strange brew -- killin' what's inside of you.
She's some kind of demon messin' in the flue.
If you don't watch out it'll stick to you,
To you.
What kind of fool are you?
Strange brew -- killin' what's inside of you.
On a boat in the middle of a raging sea,
She would make a scene for it all to be
Ignored.
And wouldn't you be bored?
Strange brew -- killin' what's inside of you.
Strange brew, strange brew, strange brew, strange brew.
,,Strange brew, strange brew, strange brew, strange brew.
,Strange brew, strange brew, strange brew, strange brew.,

~All You Need is Love by:The Beatles


NSFW:
(Love, love, love)
(Love, love, love)
(Love, love, love)

There's nothing you can do that can't be done
Nothing you can sing that can't be sung
Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game
It's easy

There's nothing you can make that can't me made
No one you can save that can't be saved
Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time
It's easy

All you need is love
All you need is love
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need

(Love, love, love)
(Love, love, love)
(Love, love, love)

All you need is love
All you need is love
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need

There's nothing you can know that isn't known
Nothing you can see that isn't shown
There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be
It's easy

All you need is love
All you need is love
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need

All you need is love, all together now
All you need is love, everybody
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need

Love is all you need
Love is all you need
Love is all you need


~Time by:Pink Floyd

NSFW:
Ticking away the moments
That make up a dull day
Fritter and waste the hours
In an off-hand way

Kicking around on a piece of ground
In your home town
Waiting for someone or something
To show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine
Staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long
And there is time to kill today

And then the one day you find
Ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun

(Solo)

And you run and you run
To catch up with the sun
But it's sinking

Racing around
To come up behind you again

The sun is the same
In a relative way
But you're older

Shorter of breath
And one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter
Never seem to find the time

Plans that either come to naught
Or half a page of scribbled lines

Hanging on in quiet desperation
Is the English way

The time is gone
The song is over
Thought I'd something more to say

Home
Home again
I like to be here
When I can

When I come home
Cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones
Beside the fire

Far away
Across the field
Tolling on the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
,,Calls the faithful to their knees
,Calls the faithful to their knees,


Change gon' come is one of my all time favorites :)

Mad World is beautiful, makes me sad though.

I'd like to add John Lennon - Watching The Wheels, it fits in with the two that I mentioned I think :)


NSFW:
People say I'm crazy doing what I'm doing
Well they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin
When I say that I'm o.k. well they look at me kind of strange
Surely you're not happy now you no longer play the game

People say I'm lazy dreaming my life away
Well they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me
When I tell them that I'm doing fine watching shadows on the wall
Don't you miss the big time boy you're no longer on the ball

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go

Ah, people asking questions lost in confusion
Well I tell them there's no problem, only solutions
Well they shake their heads and they look at me as if I've lost my mind
I tell them there's no hurry
I'm just sitting here doing time

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go

nice once Laika....here are a cpl for today.

"I'm Gonna Burn One Down" ~Ben Harper.......I was at this show!

"The Load Out" ~Jackson Brown
i grew up w/ Jackson Browne and back in the late 70s this was my mom's fav song.reminds me of being a little girl.

oh and my dad saw a show last night about iTunes most downloaded song EVER!you'll never guess.....
"Don't Stop Believing" ~Journey
no shit,google it. here is one article
i am old so i love me some Journey.

"Jolene" ~Dolly Parton also reminds me of childhood. this song hypnotizes me. always has. everybody MUST listen-it's not country...it's something all it's own.

"I Light the Fires While the City Sleeps" ~MC 900 Ft Jesus
 
It's Sunday so let's all go to the Church of Tool.....

~H by:Tool
fav Tool song

~Opiate (and hidden 7th song from Opiate EP "The Gaping Lotus Experience".) by:Tool
!st Tool song I ever heard way back in 1995 in college-still have my original "Opiate" CD even though it is cracked.

~Eulogy by:Tool
I love this one bc it's a big FUCK YOU to L.Ron Hubbard,that fucking lunatic!


only 1st song has an actual video....but these guys are in my top 10....actually prob in my top 5 fav bands. Pink Floyd reigning supreme at #1,of course.
Tool played Bonnaroo in 07-one of the years I DIDN'T go....still pissed about missing that year too!
 
"The Load Out" ~Jackson Brown
i grew up w/ Jackson Browne and back in the late 70s this was my mom's fav song.reminds me of being a little girl.

Oh how I adore that song. Any music fan has to appreciate the lyrics and then the transition into "Stay."
Paps was into Jackson Browne so I recall his music as far back as I can remember. :) Timeless music though when you listen to it today.


Here's something a little newer.
The video is interesting and actually had such an emotional impact on me the first time I watched it. Amazing song.
The video is random people listening to the song with headphones on. Awesome concept.

Bright Eyes - First Day Of My Life


Another wonderful Bright Eyes song is "At the Bottom of Everything."
The lyrics are in the description of the video. Beautifully crafted and painted pictures put in your head through talented song writing.
:)

Enjoy.
More later.
