"Awake" music

[Corfitz]

Don't know if this thread has been done before, but here's to me giving it a go.

I love listening to great music, with a spiritual "non religious"(maybe that's just me), message. Political messages can also move the heck out of me, providing the context is good. "Awake" music if you will, without it sounding arrogant hopefully.

Thought it would be cool to have a thread where we can share songs that move us, because of the message.

Is music inseparable from words or lyrics?
I ask this because "modern music" is so bad, just like modern art, I can live without it.

I confess I like listening to traditional American bluegrass, but I can't stand C&W because of its "words."
(I can't confirm this, but suicide rate goes up with C&W )

European and other classical music often comes with no words at all. And that's fine.

To be honest with you, the music you have above is hardly uplifting (for me); awake or not.

Greetings Corfitz
20 years ago I was part of a site called WingMakers...it was very enlightening...life changing for me...so...as a songwriter I created a song and expressed some of what I learned.. http://www.leftydave.com/Magic-In-The-Air.wma I find it positive and uplifting...maybe you will too..Blessings

[william r sanford72]

The list is endless so I took a pure emotional view and this took me back in time...depending on your op of what AWAKE is or means..Buckle Up..and rock on..

KARP..Forget the Minions

Forget the minions, they're on their own.

When they protest it, they'll piss and moan.

Caught in a windstorm, blow me away.

While on the subject of give and take;

The filthy scoundrels, let them eat cake.

Piece it together, pray for good luck.

Ernie, I mostly had a good time in the 90's. Verve brought back memories.


Kate Bush has to be one of the best musicians to come out of Britain. She is a singer, songwriter, musician, dancer and record producer.

Trained in classical dance and mime, Kate Bush is, on stage and in her elaborate videos, more like an opera diva than a pop star.

Kate Bush was influenced by David Bowie and discovered at 16 by Dave Gilmour from Pink Floyd.

Her career is filled with literary influences, Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights influenced her song of the same name which reached no1 in the UK in 1978.

The Man with the Child in his eyes was written when she was only 13 about men who retain their inner child. She is an old soul.

I've included 3 videos:

The Man with the Child in his Eyes. A song about men who hold onto their inner child.

Cloud Busting which is about Willhelm Riech.

The 3rd song was written by Peter Gabriel, who greatly admires Kate Bush and Kate sings this incredibly heartfelt song with Peter Gabriel called, Don't Give Up. A song to listen to if ever anyone feels like they've had enough.

She seems very wise, beautiful and talented soul.

I used to listen to Marvin Gaye in 1972 when I was still in high school. I absolutely believed when the Vietnam war ended and my friends were not in danger of being drafted that the world would just get better and better. I was naïve

I was naïve

Don't say that.
Don't ever ever say that.
Because you weren't. And you're not.

Thanks! This is on my youtube suggestions. The statement "We are here to live our dreams out loud" makes my heart lift. I am so fortunate personally that I am well, have a job I love and (as problematic as the transmission may be) have the internet which is the best thing that ever happened for me, EVER.

I DO have fire in my soul but I feel so adrift at times and vacillate. It seems to me that this paradoxical world where NOT one side of any issue is truely the TRUTH is excruciating.

I have always had a hard time accepting the welter of so many conflicting energies. I am PISSED off with death, with poverty consciousness, with the lack of telepathy that would sort it all out because no one would hide behind words.... I am so sad that several people I know have been sucked in to the medical system and even if its not the jab it's the medicines (that have side effects) and the loss of function. It is so hard to watch people suffer.

Dopamine
On dopamine
On dopamine
On dope
We have been overrun by our agonal desire
Addicts of the immediate keep us obedient and unaware
Feeding this mutation, this Pavlovian despair
We've become
Disillusioned
So we run
Towards anything glimmering
Time to put the silicon obsession down
Take a look around, find a way in the silence
Lie supine away with your back to the ground
Dis- and reconnect to the resonance now
You were never an island
Unique voice among the many in this choir
Tuning into each other, lift all higher
Dopamine
On dopamine
On dopamine
On dope
Willingly been rewired by clever agents within
Looping our reflections, our obsessions draw us in
Fix and fixation, no sentience beyond
We've become
Disillusioned
So we dive like crows
Towards anything glittering
Time to put the silicon obsession down
Take a look around, find a way in the silence
Lie supine away with your back to the ground
Dis- and reconnect to the resonance now
You were never an island
Unique voice among the many in this choir
Tuning into each other, lift all higher

Angels on the sideline
Puzzled and amused
Why did Father give these humans free will?
Now they're all confused
Don't these talking monkeys know that
Eden has enough to go around?
Plenty in this holy garden, silly monkeys
Where there's one you're bound to divide it
Right in two
Angels on the sideline,
Baffled and confused
Father blessed them all with reason,
And this is what they choose?
Monkey killing monkey killing monkey over
Pieces of the ground
Silly monkeys
Give them thumbs, they forge a blade
And where there's one they're bound to divide it
Right in two
Right in two
Monkey killing, monkey killing monkey over
Pieces of the ground
Silly monkeys
Give them thumbs, they make a club
To beat their brother down
How they've survived so misguided is a mystery
Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability
To lift an eye to heaven, conscious of his fleeting time here
Gotta divide it all right in two
Gotta divide it all right in two
Gotta divide it all right in two
Gotta divide it all right in two
Fight till they die over sun, over sky
They fight till they die over sea, over air
They fight till they die over blood, over love
They fight till they die over words, polarizing
Angels on the sideline again
Benched along with patience and reason
Angels on the sideline again
Wondering where this tug of war will end
Gotta divide it all right in two
Gotta divide it all right in two
Gotta divide it all right in two
Right in two
Right in two

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us, only sky
Imagine all the people
Livin' for today
Ah
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Imagine all the people
Livin' life in peace
You
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

Great thread! Tool for me is the most 'awake' band anyway, also with their many spiritual lyrics. I would have posted them but they were already added above, so I go with another one, quite a recent discovery of mine - Kalandra.

Slow Motion
Got a million things to distract my mind
There's a million ways I could spend my time
Keeping me from who I need to be
Distracting me from what I need to do

I dive into an infinite ocean
It makes me devoid of all emotion
I am running in slow-motion
I am running in slow-motion
Forever
Got a single plan for this life of mine
But there's a million failures awaiting trial
Guide my feet so they can touch the ground
Ignore the noise, till it won't make a sound
I dive into an infinite ocean
It makes me devoid of all emotion
I am running in slow-motion
I am running in slow-motion
Forever
I am running in slow-motion
Forever
