Some feelings need music to be expressed


Time

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand 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
And you are young and life is long
And there is time to kill today
And then one day you find
Ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun

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 nought
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

Live!


Thanks to all my virtual friends in internet society; after 10 days with no real music around, I listened to a live acoustic performance of Steven Wilson in Tel Aviv.

After Listening to almost a lot of studio recorded albums, I enjoyed very much this live performance with different mood and strange performance, full of fun and improvising and engaging audience. I can not guess the atmosphere of the place but the performance just reminds me of those friendly parties we had at our 20s.

In my opinion the interesting thing is that you can hear a dozen of porcupine tree songs just in pure rhythms with the lyrics. I almost drowned in the whole coloring of songs music and each individual instrument –if I can- that I forgot the lyrics. Sometime Steven mentions some point about songs and other stuffs like using fifteen guitars in blackest eyes. It is awesome particularly when you hear "Feel So Low" with Aviv Geffen performing a part in Hebrew-I guess.

Anyway there are a couple of songs Steven says he needs a piano to do them. We wait for a piano acoustic performance.

One more thing, I can't get what he says at the end of each song, if any body knows, I will be much appreciated to know that.

Love taught me to lie


...

Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to lie
Life taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannon

Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to cry
So come on courage!
Teach me to be shy
'Cause it's not hard to fall
And I don't want to scare her
It's not hard to fall
And I don't wanna lose
It's not hard to grow
When you know that you just don't know

At last I found some time for listening music, O by Damien Rice. I listened to a bunch of Irish singers and song writers but Damien has got a beautiful voice and emotional songs.
He uses guitars and cello mostly in his songs-I like cello very much. The songs may be folk but you may hear jazz or pop or even rock but I like the simplicity of music with those two instruments and little use of drums or percussion.
It is emotional and lovely. I like to listen it when I am alone but if you like it can make a good background music when you work too.

Code 46(2003)


It is another Sci-fi and love story movie. This time the assumption is men are enable of deleting the memory of an event from anyone's mind.
It is not a bad film. Story telling is a bit different. The near future architecture shown in the movie is very beautiful and acceptable. Vast empty spaces in the airport with lots of light tube on the ceiling and the sound of see waves is remarkable.
A wise and good usage of multi language greetings is used all over the movie-even Persian. Maybe some viewers can not understand the dialogs if they had no background of other foreign languages.
Anyway everything around human being will change but love will be still a questionable matter!?
