    Default "Awake" music

    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.





    Hope you all are doing good, may you all have a beatiful weekend .
    Love

    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

    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 would say this is "awake" music to me.

    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

    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

    Is every mind connected to form a peer to peer network that creates the illusion of a shared reality, making the appearance of material reality a simulation created through shared beliefs?

    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.

    Kalandra - Brave New World (live and lyrics video version)




    Another one by them:


    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
