Location: United Kingdom | I don't think I've ever heard it performed by Fleetwood Mac. I will go to youtube straight away and listen to their version. I first heard it sung by Eva Cassidy. It has become one of my all-time favourites. With love - Aquarius

Location: United Kingdom | Changing The World
Do not try to change the world.
You will fail.
Try to love the world.
And lo, the world is changed,
Changed forever.
Sri Chinmoy
If we try to change our world
Without first changing ourselves, we are sure to fail.
But when we come to terms with its true purpose
And perceive it in a new light, we learn to love it and
For us, quite magically, the world changes forever.
As our inner eyes open, we begin to recognise
The good in all people and situations.
Our heart and soul then fills with compassion and love
For those who, trapped in the darkness of
Their ignorance and greed, still insist on creating suffering,
Maybe for millions, and therefore negative Karma for themselves.
We no longer sit in judgement over anyone
And that helps us to create ever more positive Karma
For ourselves and our world.

Location: United Kingdom | Thank you, dear Marty, I have enjoyed your offering. And yes, I do know exactly why you posted it. Guess what? I discovered it when I was about to post the following. How’s that? No such thing as coincidences! Some enchanted evening
You may see a stranger,
you may see a stranger
Across a crowded room
And somehow you know,
You know even then
That somewhere you'll see her
Again and again.

Location: United Kingdom | When all is said and done, dear Marty, it's still a world filled with wonders and beauty that we inhabit. Here is something to remind us of it: What A Wonderful World
I see trees of green – red roses too.
I see them bloom – for me and for you
And I think to myself: ‘What a wonderful world!’
I see skies of blue – clouds of white.
Bright blessed days – dark sacred nights.
And I think to myself: ‘What a wonderful world!’
The colours of a rainbow, so pretty in the sky.
Are also on the faces of people going by.
I see friends shaking hands saying: ‘How do you do?’
They’re really saying: ‘I love you.’
I hear babies cry – I watch them grow
They’ll learn much more than I’ll never know
And I think to myself: ‘What a wonderful world!’
Yes, I think to myself: ‘What a wonderful world!’
George David Weiss, George Douglas, Bob Thiele

Location: United Kingdom | Why shouldn't they see how wonderful our world is, Marty? What keeps them from doing so? All anyone needs to do is stop chasing after what is generally considered to be 'goodies' on the material plane. Many would be happier if they just stopped spending money and getting ever deeper into debt by putting too much strain by over-consuming on Mother Earth's precious resources. Going for a walk in Mother Nature and enjoying all her gifts free of charge brings healing to human souls, especially after a long drawn out cold and wet winter and spring is with us once again.
With love – Aquarius

Location: United Kingdom | Both Sides Now Rows and flows of Angel hair,
And ice cream castles in the air,
And feather canyons everywhere.
I’ve looked at clouds that way.
But now they only block the Sun.
They rain and snow on everyone.
So many things I would have done,
But clouds got in my way.
I’ve looked at clouds from both sides now.
From up and down, and still somehow
It’s cloud illusions I recall.
I really don’t know clouds at all.
Moons and Junes and Ferris wheel.s
The dizzy dancing way you feel,
As every fairy tale comes real.
I’ve looked at love that way.
But now it’s just another show.
You leave them laughing when you go.
And if you care, don’t let them know,
Don’t give yourself away.
I’ve looked at love from both sides now,
From give and take, and still somehow,
It’s love’s illusions I recall.
I really don’t know love at all.
Tears and fears and feeling proud,
To say ‘I love you’ right out loud.
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds.
I’ve looked at life that way.
But now old friends are acting strange,
They shake their heads, they say I’ve changed.
Well something’s lost, but something’s gained
In living every day.
I’ve looked at life from both sides now,
From win and lose and still somehow,
It’s life’s illusions I recall.
I really don’t know life at all.
I’ve looked at life from both sides now,
From up and down, and still somehow.
It’s life’s illusions I recall.
I really don’t know life at all.

I believe that life can only be understood when one learns to peer beneath its surface. Everything that ever happened in our world starts to make sense, when one discovers its eternal background.

Location: United Kingdom | If you go away
On this summer day
Then you might as well
Take the sun away
All the birds that flew
In the summer sky
When our love was new
And our hearts were high
When the day was young
And the nights were long
When the moon stood still
For the night bird’s song
If you go away
If you go away
If you go away...
But if you stay
I’ll make you a day
Like no day has been
Or will be again
We’ll sail on the sun
We’ll ride on the rain
We’ll talk to the trees
And worship the wind
But if you go
I’ll understand
Leave me just enough love
To hold in my hand
If you go away
If you go away
If you go away...
Ne me quitte pas
Il faut oublier
Tout peut s’oublier
Qui s’enfuit déjà
Oublier le temps
Des malentendus
Et le temps perdu
A savoir comment
Oublier ces heures
Qui tuaient parfois
A coups de pourquoi
Le coeur du bonheur
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
But if you stay
I’ll make you a night
Like no night has been
Or will be again
I’ll sail on your smile
I’ll ride on your touch
I’ll talk to your eyes
That I love so much
But if you go
I’ll understand
Leave me just enough love
To hold in my hand
If you go away
If you go away
If you go away...
If you go away
As I know you must
There is nothing left
In this world to trust
Just an empty room
Full of empty space
Like the empty look
I see on your face
Though I would have been the shadow
Of your shadow
If you might have kept me
By your side
If you go away
If you go away
If you go away...
An adaptation of the 1959 Jacques Brel song ‘Ne me quitte pas’

Location: United Kingdom | Do you know where you’re going to?
Do you like the things that life is showing you?
Where are you going to?
Do you know?
Do you get
What you’re hoping for?
When you look behind you,
There’s no open doors.
What are you hoping for?
Do you know?
Once we were standing still in time,
Chasing the fantasies
That filled our minds.
You knew how I loved you,
But my spirit was free.
Laughing at the questions
That you once asked of me.
Do you know where you’re going to?
Do you like the things that life is showing you?
Where are you going to?
Do you know?
Now looking back at all we planned,
We let so many dreams
Just slip through our hands.
Why must we wait so long,
Before we see
How sad the answers
To those questions can be?
Do you know where you’re going to?
Do you like the things that life is showing you?
Where are you going to?
Do you know?
Do you get
What you’re hoping for?
When you look behind you
There’s no open doors
What are you hoping for?
Do you know?

Location: United Kingdom | I am not sure I fully understood what Mary meant by the idea of Stochastic Music
so I looked backover the old posts to remind myself.
Wow, so many old friends therein, wonder what has happened to them.
My latest 'like' in the music industry is 'La la la', by Naughty Boy featuring Sam Smith.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3O1_3zBUKM8
This, apart from being in my humble view, stochastic, has a magical video set in Bolivia which echoes, so it is said Bolivian folk tales.
I think the way in which popular music resurrects (pun intended) mythic themes is also a wonderful way in which the Spirit makes herself known all the time, everywhere, whatever we do, indeed sometimes despite ourselves

Location: Republic of Cascadia http://zapatopi.net/cascadia/ | Hi PJ... I am still around albeit occasionally these days as I am too busy fleecing the S&P 500 to salvage what is left of my meager retirement after being unable to work at my old job in the oil fields. I stick to my guns assuming that any system born of fraud, ie: the monetary system, must be rife with loopholes and exploits, and it was the quest to find these that led me to Christine and the Forum here. I have since hit the jackpot, lost it, and hit it again a few times. lol
But I digress... back to the topic. I used to be a minor local part time rock and roll star before having an aneurysm partially disabling my entire left side. I looked at the life of Oscar Peterson who suffered the same fate. That was an important part of being a lead guitar player I might add. But the music remains with me. And the one that springs to mind is this little ditty by a rock and roll outfit you may know...
It is entitled Money Talks, and I suggest that we listen! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmyzFsYEdco But how do I make the link work on this new fangled forum?  [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/money-talks-lyrics-acdc.html ] Tailored suits, chauffered cars Fine hotels and big cigars Up for grabs, up for a price Where the red hot girls keep on dancing through the night The claim is on you The sights are on me So what do you do That's guaranteed Hey little girl, you want it all The furs, the diamonds, the painting on the wall Come on come on, love me for the money Come on, come on, listen to the money talk Come on come on, love me for the money Come on, come on, listen to the money talk A French maid, foreign chef A big house with king size bed You've had enough, you ship them out The dollar's up-down, you'd better buy the pound The claim is on you The sights are on me So what do you do That's guaranteed Hey little girl, you broke the laws You hustle, you deal, you steal from us all
Come on come on, love me for the money Come on, come on. listen to the money talk Come on come on, love me for the money Come, come on, listen to the money talk Money talks, yeah, yeah
Money talks, B.S. walks Money talks, come on, come on
Come on come on, love me for the money Come on, come on, listen to the money talk Come on come on, love me for the money Come on, come on, listen to the money talk
Money talks, money talk, talk, talk Hear it talk
Yeah, yeah, yeah money talks OK, so that is a little nasty. How about this one more suited to, "Playing the Room?" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkhX5W7JoWI or this one since Tachyons cant exist in this alleged Universe? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYxY_P8Vn3k

Is this the little girl I carried?

I don't remember growing older
When did they?
When did she get to be a beauty?
When did he grow to be so tall?
Wasn't it yesterday
When they were small?

Swiftly flow the days
Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers,
Blossoming, even as we gaze.

Swiftly fly the years.
One season following another,
Laden with happiness and tears.
What words of wisdom can I give them?
How can I help to ease their way?
Now they must learn from one another,
Day by day.

You think that I can’t live
Without your love. You’ll see.
You think I can’t go on another day.
You think I have nothing
Without you by my side.
You’ll see, somehow, someway.
You think that I can’t
Ever laugh again. You’ll see.
You think that you’ve
Destroyed my faith in love.
You think after all you’ve done,
I’ll never find my way back home.
You’ll see, somehow, someday.
All by myself.
I don’t need anyone at all.
I know I’ll survive.
I know I’ll stay alive.
All on my own.
I don’t need anyone this time.
It will be mine.
No one can take it from me.
You’ll see.
You think that you are strong,
But you are weak. You’ll see.
It takes more strength to cry
And admit defeat.
I have truth on my side.
You only have deceit.
You’ll see, somehow, someday.
All by myself.
I don’t need anyone at all.
I know I’ll survive.
I know I’ll stay alive.
I’ll stand on my own.
I won’t need anyone this time.
It will be mine.
No one can take it from me.

Location: United Kingdom | I Will Survive
At first, I was afraid, I was petrified.
Kept thinking, I could never live without you by my side.
But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong,
And I grew strong and I learned how to get along.
And so you’re back from outer space.
I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face.
I should have changed that stupid lock.
I should have made you leave your key.
If I’d known for just one second you’d be back to bother me.
Go on now, go, walk out the door, just turn around now,
‘Cause you’re not welcome anymore.
Weren’t you the one, who tried to hurt me with goodbye?
Did you think I’d crumble? Did you think I’d lay down and die?
Oh, no, not I, I will survive.
Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I’ll stay alive.
I’ve got all my life to live, I’ve got all my love to give.
And I’ll survive, I will survive, hey, hey.
It took all the strength I had not to fall apart.
Kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart.
And I spent, oh, so many nights just feeling sorry for myself.
I used to cry but now I hold my head up high.
And you see me, somebody new.
I’m not that chained up little person still in love with you.
And so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free.
But now I’m saving all my loving for someone who’s loving me.
Go on now, go, walk out the door, just turn around now,
‘Cause you’re not welcome anymore.
Weren’t you the one, who tried to break me with goodbye?
Did you think I’d crumble? Did you think I’d lay down and die?
Oh, no, not I, I will survive.
Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I’ll stay alive.
I’ve got all my life to live, I’ve got all my love to give.
And I’ll survive, I will survive, oh.

Location: United Kingdom | Not Stochastic - but still a great song! One Day I’ll Fly Away
I make it alone,
When love is gone.
Still you made your mark,
Here in my heart.
One day I’ll fly away,
Leave your love to yesterday.
What more can your love do for me,
When will love be through with me?
I follow the night.
Can’t stand the light.
When will I begin
My life again?
One Day I’ll fly away.
Leave your love to yesterday.
What more can your love do for me,
When will love be through with me?
Why live life from dream to dream,
And dread the day that dreaming ends?
One day I’ll fly away,
Leave your love to yesterday.
What more can your love do for me?
When will love be through with me?
Why live life from dream to dream,
And dread the day that dreaming ends?
One day I’ll fly away . . .

Location: United Kingdom | Time Is A Healer
I found a picture of your smiling face,
Bringing old memories that I had locked away.
The burden of anger from a heart filled with pain
Was finally lifted and I smile at you again.
If time is a healer,
Then all hearts that break
Are put back together again,
‘Cos love heals the wound it makes.
I spoke such harsh words before goodbye.
Well, I wanted to hurt you for the tears you made
You made me cry.
All my hopes and dreams, they started vanishing and
Those tender hurt feelings became a dangerous thing.
All of those years we spent together,
They’re now part of my life forever.
I hold the joy with the pain
And the truth is: I miss you, my friend.
Well, time is a healer…

Location: United Kingdom | The Way We Were
Memories,
Light the corners of my mind.
Misty watercolour memories
Of the way we were.
Scattered pictures
Of the smiles we left behind.
Smiles we gave to one another
For the way we were.
Can it be that it was all so simple then
Or has time rewritten every line?
If we had the chance to do it all again,
Tell me, would we? Could we?
Memories,
May be beautiful and yet,
What’s too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget.
So it’s the laughter
We will remember,
Whenever we remember
The way we were.
