Youve got this strange effect on me,
And I like it.
Youve got this strange effect on me,
And I like it.
You make this world seem right,
You make my darkness bright, yes,
You've got this strange effect on me,
And I like it, and I like it

And I like the way you kiss me,
Don't know if I should, but this feeling,
Its love and I know it,
Thats why I feel good.

She comes in colors ev'rywhere;
She combs her hair
She's like a rainbow
Coming, colors in the air
Oh, everywhere
She comes in colors

Have you seen her dressed in blue?
See the sky in front of you
And her face is like a sail
Speck of white so fair and pale
Have you seen a lady fairer?

Have you seen her all in gold?
Like a queen in days of old
She shoots her colors all around
Like a sunset going down
Have you seen a lady fairer?

[ Rolling Stones : She's a Rainbow ]

You make my tired heart sing...

Quiet nights of quiet stars
Quiet chords from my guitar
Floating on the silence that surrounds us

Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams
Quiet walks by quiet streams
And a window lookin' on the mountains and the sea
how lovely

This is where I want to be
Here with you so close to me
Till the final flicker of life's ember

I who was lost and lonely
Believing life was a only a bitter tragic joke
Have found with you the meaning of existence oh, my love

[ Stan Getz - Corcovado (Quiet nights of Quiet stars) ]

Tristesse

Aangekomen bij mijn voordeur zocht ik mijn sleutel. Ik drukte voor de lol eens op mijn eigen deurbel, wat nutteloos was, want er was toch niemand thuis.
Nadat ik mijn sleutel had gevonden, bleek dit helemaal niet zo lollig te zijn. Aan de andere kant van het raam staarde een paard met een lange zwarte jas en combat boots mij strak aan.

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
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
And 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

[ Pink Floyd - Time ]

Furbies

Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air
And deep beneath the rolling waves in labyrinths of coral caves
The echo of a distant tide
Comes willowing across the sand
And everything is green and submarine
And no one showed us to the land
And no one knows the where's or why's
But something stirs and something tries
And starts to climb towards the light

Strangers passing in the street
By chance two separate glances meet
And I am you and what I see is me
And do I take you by the hand
And lead you through the land
And help me understand the best I can
And no one calls us to move on
And no one forces down our eyes
And no one speaks
And no one tries
And no one flies around the sun

Cloudless every day you fall
Upon my waking eyes
Inviting and inciting me to rise
And through the window in the wall
Comes streaming in on sunlight wings
A million bright ambassadors of morning
And no one sings me lullabies
And no one makes me close my eyes
So I throw the windows wide
And call to you across the sky.

[ Pink Floyd : Echoes ]

Extreme ways are back again
Extreme places I didn't know
I broke everything new again
Everything that I'd owned
I threw it out the window came along
Extreme ways I know will part the colors of my sea
'Perfect color me'

Extreme ways that help me
They help me out late at night
Extreme places I had gone
That never seen any light
Dirty basements, dirty noise
Dirty places coming through
Extreme worlds alone
Did you ever like it planned?

I would stand in line for this
There's always room in life for this

Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, it fell apart
Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, it fell apart

Extreme sounds that told me
They held me down every night
I didn't have much to say
I didn't give up the light
I closed my eyes and closed myself
And closed my world and never opened up to anything
That could get me at all

I had to close down everything
I had to close down my mind
Too many things caught me
Too much could make me blind
I've seen so much in so many places
So many heartaches, so many faces
So many dirty things
You couldn't even believe

[ Moby - Extreme Ways ]

Daar lag een verloren handschoen, in het midden van de massa. Maar ik durfde niet.

You're my last breathe
You're a breathe of fresh air to me
Hi, I'm empty
So tell me you care for me

You're the first thing
And the last thing on my mind
In your arms I feel
Sunshine

On a promise
A day dream yet to come
Time is upon us
Oh but the night is young

Flowers blossom
In the winter time
In your arms I feel
Sunshine

Give up yourself unto the moment
The time is now
Give up yourself unto the moment
Lets make this moment last

You may find yourself
Out on a limb for me
Could you expect it as
A part of your destiny

I give all I have
But it's not enough
And my patience is shot
So I'm calling your bluff

And we gave it time
All eyes are on the clock
But time takes too much time
Please make the waiting stop

And the atmosphere is charged.
In you I trust.
And I feel no fear as i
Do as I must.

Tempted by fear
And I won't hesitate
The time is now
And I can't wait

I've been empty too long
The time is now
The tender night has gone
And the time has gone
Let's make this moment last
And the night is young
The time is now.
Let's make this moment last.

[ Moloko - The time is now ]

I'm sitting here in the boring room
It's just another rainy Sunday afternoon
I'm wasting my time
I got nothing to do
I'm hanging around
I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever happens and I wonder

I'm driving around in my car
I'm driving too fast
I'm driving too far
I'd like to change my point of view
I feel so lonely
I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever happens and I wonder

I wonder how
I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree
I'm turning my head up and down
I'm turning turning turning turning turning around
And all that I can see is just another lemon-tree

I'm sitting here
I miss the power
I'd like to go out taking a shower
But there's a heavy cloud inside my head
I feel so tired
Put myself into bed
Well, nothing ever happens and I wonder

Isolation is not good for me
Isolation I don't want to sit on the lemon-tree

I'm steppin' around in the desert of joy
Baby anyhow I'll get another toy
And everything will happen and you wonder

Please could you stay awhile to share my grief
For its such a lovely day
To have to always feel this way
And the time that I will suffer less
Is when I never have to wake

Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness of darkness forever
Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness of darkness forever

... Those who have seen the needles eye, now tread
Like a husk, from which all that was, now has fled
And the masks, that the monsters wear
To feed, upon their prey

(always) doubled up inside
Take awhile to shed my grief
(always) doubled up inside
Taunted, cruel.... ...

[ Portishead - Wandering Stars ]

How did I forget...

2009-02-11T11:52:00.000-08:00

“We were play-ing in the park
and you asked me
what hap-pens when you die.
I said: You forget ever-y-thing.
Ever-y-thing. Easily?
Yes.
Yes.
Easily.
You did not want to die…”

[ uit Olafur Arnalds: Variations of Static ]

En wij - U & Ik - liepen over de maan, een beetje scheef en eigenzinnig, af en toe keken we terug naar onze voetstapjes die scheef gelijkliepen. Wat een vreemde planeet was dit!

Indian Summer

Zo te sterven op het water met je vleugels van papier
Zomaar drijven, na het vliegen in de wolken drijf je hier
Met je kleuren die vervagen
Zonder zoeken zonder vragen
Eindelijk voor altijd rusten
En de bloemen die je kuste
Geuren die je hebt geweten
Alles kan je nu vergeten
Op het water wieg je heen en weer
Zo te sterven op het water met je vleugels van papier
als een vlinder die toch vliegen kan tot in de blauwe lucht
als een vlinder altijd vrij en voor het leven op de vlucht
wil ik sterven op het water
maar dat is een zorg van later
ik wil nu als vlinder vliegen
op de bloemen , blaren vliegen
maar zo hoog kan ik niet komen
dus ik vlieg maar in mijn dromen
altijd ben ik voor het leven op de vlucht
als een vlinder die toch vliegen kan tot in de blauwe lucht
Om te leven dacht ik je zou een vlinder moeten zijn
Om te vliegen heel ver weg van alle leven, alle pijn
Maar ik heb niet langer hinder van jaloersheid op een vlinder
Als zelfs vlinders moeten sterven laat ik niet mijn vreugd bederven
Ik kan zonder vliegen leven
Wat zou ik nog langer geven
Om een vlinder die verdronken is in mij
Om te leven hoef ik echt geen vlinder meer te zijn...

[ Boudewijn De Groot : Verdronken Vlinder ]
