This video is offered because what I feel are grotesque, animated images rather balance the voice and lyrics and instrumentation. Or, maybe it's just me .

• Schism | Tool
  
  
  
  LYRICS.
  I know the pieces fit cause I watched them fall away
  Mildewed and smoldering, fundamental differing,
  Pure intention juxtaposed will set two lovers souls in motion
  Disintegrating as it goes testing our communication
  The light that fueled our fire then has burned a hole between us so
  We cannot see to reach an end crippling our communication.
  
  I know the pieces fit cause I watched them tumble down
  No fault, none to blame it doesn't mean I don't desire to
  Point the finger, blame the other, watch the temple topple over
  To bring the pieces back together, rediscover communication.
  
  The poetry that comes from the squaring off between,
  And the circling is worth it
  Finding beauty in the dissonance.
  
  There was a time that the pieces fit, but I watched them fall away
  Mildewed and smoldering, strangled by our coveting
  I've done the math enough to know the dangers of our second guessing
  Doomed to crumble unless we grow, and strengthen our communication.
  
  Cold silence has a tendency to atrophy any sense of compassion.
  
  Between supposed lovers
  Between supposed lovers
  
  And I know the pieces fit (x8)

• Savior | Colin James

While I am in my tiny kitchen doing my wee chores I either listen to BBC R4 or PLANET ROCK, on my small eco friendly dabs radio.

You CAN listen online to both of those, its brilliant.

R4 is a mixed bag of course, but you can learn a lot from a wide variety of viewpoints;

And for anyone who loves old style classic ROCK, (and of course for anyone who loves PLANET earth, which is of course a ROCK, so loving the Earth means I DO love PLANET ROCK ha ha!);

Rant And Roll

Rant and roll,
Heart speak from the spirit,
Say it loud so everyone can hear it.
Say what you mean,
Mean what you say,
Rant and roll when you feel that way.

Predator views are way too tragic
Mother earth gives us power,
Father sky makes us magic,
Life doesn’t have to be bitter,
Even when it’s not always sweet.
Synchronicity is the rendezvous,
When magic and power meet.

just finished Melancholia...

• The Spark | Catch 22
  
  
  LYRICS.
  Before the dawn is when it seems most cold.
  But as sure as the sun rises in the east, we know that
  the stream of evolution is a constant flow,
  and the current evolution says that I should really go.
  
  Don't you know that every seed wants to grow?
  We can't stay underground forever.
  They can cut us off as soon as we begin to show.
  What they don't know is that the roots still grow.
  
  When the roots pop up... [repeat]
  
  They can try with all of their might to push us down to the ground,
  but I know we'll be all right (right?)
  They mean to break my spirit through this exile,
  but I can use this time to further refine and fortify my style.
  
  Don't you know that every seed wants to grow?
  We can't stay underground forever.
  They can cut us off as soon as we begin to show.
  What they don't know is that the roots still grow.
  
  When the roots pop up... [repeat]
  
  The world that we're all living in is in need
  of a plan for the brotherhood of man.
  So I'm off and running fast as I can,
  and the antidote I'm bringing is the pen in my hand.
  
  Don't you know that every seed wants to grow?
  We can't stay underground forever.
  They can cut us off as soon as we begin to show.
  What they don't know is that the roots still grow.
  
  When the roots pop up... [repeat]
  
  We're finally doing all the things we were meant for!
  We're finally saying all the things we should say!
  
  When the roots pop up... [repeat]

• Enough Is Enough | Chumbawamba LIVE 1993
  
  
  LYRICS.
  Open your eyes
  Time to wake up
  Enough is enough is enough is enough
  Give the fascist man a gunshot
  
  Trying an trying again to get this damn thing done
  It can’t done
  Come kill the fascist with a gun
  ’cos it’s stopping us from unity
  We cannot see reality
  Just vanity insanity fusion cannot stand it see
  No man fascist man will ever get me outta the land
  So understand fusion plan to stop them with a bang
  We sang and sang to make the people all unite
  Not fight but fight because the leaders don’t think right
  You burnt us in the part you know it won’t happen again
  So black and white take a stand and all try to defend
  all of the people and the children who are living in the past
  Just blast and blast don’t make the fascist man last
  
  Open your eyes
  Time to wake up
  Enough is enough is enough is enough
  Give the fascist man a gunshot
  
  On and on and on you the feeling’s so strong
  So long
  It’s wrong
  I’m telling you it’s wrong
  Destruction confusion and blaming it on the colour
  I wonder in horror ’cos the people start to follow
  All the leaders and the rulers who are putting up the fence
  It’s dens immense and you say you’re talking sense
  Bull bull I want to say it full
  But people on the radio you know will make a pull
  So I try to tone it down to make the whole world know
  that the language of my violence will proceed in my show
  Flow flow to make the fascist man know
  That unity is here and unity will grow
  
  Open your eyes
  Time to wake up
  Enough is enough is enough is enough
  Give the fascist man a gunshot

Chumbawamba: I've yet to hear too much of. There I've said it, again!

.

On a day like no other
In a time unique, in a place divine
Keep your eye on the Ikon
Shining in the light of eternal mind











Tucked away in the darkest cupboard of your heart
There's a feeling you can't let out
In a way you are just a soldier of the mind
You are marching, what are you marching about?





(Excerpts from the 1974 album)
