When The Heartache Ends: Rob Thomas

Sitting alone on a friday evening. Wondering what my life has become. The darkness outside gets overshadowed by the darkness inside. When did me started to lose the joy. Too many mistakes I have started to make. The path downhill is the only path I see. The man in the mirror I don't know. And you Rob Thomas just distracts me for a while reminding that no matter what happens the music remains, be it joy, be it sorrow, be it in loneliness, be it with your blessed friends. Thank You.

"When The Heartache Ends"

It's never easy and you never know
What leaves you crying
And what makes you whole
There ain't no way that I can hold it down
Falling to pieces
Forever in doubt

But it's alright
Why don't you tell me again
How you'll still be there
When the heartache ends
It's alright
Why don't you tell me my friend
How you'll still be there
When the heartache ends

There ain't nobody who can show you how
To find the surface when you're underground
There ain't no blanket that can hide this cold
There ain't no memory
That ever gets old

And I move all directions
To the corners and the outskirts
While the lovers and the lonely
Start to whisper all about me
And if I stand here silent
I almost start to feel you fading in
Telling me hold on
Cuz it's gonna be alright

Say you'll be with me
When the heartache ends

Quote: Umberto Eco

I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth. - Umberto Eco

Too much effort in understanding we waste on something which will never get revealed. Realization to be in awe and then carry on, only if we can.

Quote: Maya Angelou

"We allow our ignorance to prevail upon us and make us think we can survive alone, alone in patches, alone in groups, alone in races, even alone in genders." Maya Angelou

The fact we try and avoid but come to haunt us every time for we cannot

Dancing by Elisa

Dancing by Elisa. Some songs are good. Some are beautifully meaningful. Some are emotionally charging. But just sometimes when one feels nothing more could be made right about the song. Someone comes with an interpretation which gives you goosebumps to your soul. Here is the thing by Lacey and Cameron. See for yourself and let thou be glided into "Your" river of hidden passionate self.


Time is gonna take my mind
and carry it far away where I can fly
The depth of life will dim my temptation to live for you
If I were to be alone silence would rock my tears
'cause it's all about love and I know better
How life is a waving feather

So I put my arms around you around you
And I know that I believe and soon
My eyes are on you they're on you
And you see that I can't stop shaking

No, I won't step back but I'll look down to hide from your eyes
'cause what I feel is so sweet and I'm scared that even my own breath
Oh could burst it if it were a bubble
And I'd better dream if I have to struggle

So I put my arms around you around you
And I hope that I will do no wrong
My eyes are on you they're on you
And I hope that you won't hurt me

I'm dancing in the room as if I was in the woods with you
No need for anything but music
Music's the reason why I know time still exists
Time still exists
Time still exists
Time still exists

So I just put my arms around you around you
And I hope that I will do no wrong
My eyes are on you they're on you
And I hope that you won't hurt me
my arms around you they're around you
And I hope that I will do no wrong
My eyes are on you they're on you
they're on you

My eyes

#40 SAGA Continues

Finally I decided today the time has come to start to office..
Using the mode with which I have some joyous memory..
The faithful servant, friend and partner...
To only realize that it has been defiled...
Another day for me to realize that somebody has sucked away the life giving fluid..
And didn't even had the decency to leave it in a state that it can be repaired..
With the petrol pipe cut into a half..
I started my journey to restore it in a workable state...
Being frustrated to my core...
Probably consoling myself with thoughts of Scott Adams that to even out the good happening to millions...
Somebody got to suffer.. What if it has to be me every time..

During time like these only, one realizes the 0.01 degree of slope..
The simple maths which the architects of road got it wrong..
A little effort and the serenity of 0 degrees could have been maintained..
What difference it brings if it is the downward slope..

Pushing around my beast with eyes all around laughing at me for my state..
Cant Complain.. For a man rides a donkey the other way around is never the same..

Information flowing in that the magician who heals is just a 200 mtrs ahead...
Only to realize with every 200 mtr that it is actually 200 mtr from here...
So the 200 mtr converted to 2 km...

I finally reached the magician to whom I had been before ...
Only to see him smirking n telling me...
See I told you before to make yourself secure...
Prevention is always better than cure..
I said...just get it working for I am deaf...
I have never listened to anyone whose advise will or may work...
I prefer the hard way...
For somehow I have an affinity towards my doom which cannot be changed...

When I finally got on to my shiny red vehicle...
I thought things should finally look bright...
Only to realize after avoiding 3 accidents with a bicycle a bike and car...
I am a person who gets overwhelmed by thoughts..
A stream of past starts flashing before my eye...
And the future words which will construct a story starts forming in my head...

Now finally in office those words have come together to form incoherent sentences...
After sweating it out in Bangalore weather (Yes Bangalore weather)..
I realize and I tell you...
For tomorrow I may or may not exist..
But the saga of House #40 Koramangala will live on..

Moments

For the moments you were there..
Life turned so beautiful..
Hardly I was able to do..
The thing I wanted to do to you..
Hardly I was able to keep you in my arms..
Like I would love to..
But O you beautiful one..
Allow me to come to you today..
For I will love you..
Like No one has ever loved anyone before..

Orange Sky: Alexi Murdoch

Probably the lyrics and the slow moving music hit me during the time when my thoughts are complex. But a song of love, hope or something else

YouTube Link

But I got more so influenced and overwhelmed by the video below. The flow of the movement with the music is romantic and gorgeous. Combining the three most romantic thing in the world, dance, music and lyrics. Giving a sense of joy and freedom which makes you believe at least there are some things in the world not so bad. Somethings which one can always go through again and again and be happy.

Benji and Lacey

Well I had a dream
I stood beneath an orange sky
Yes I had a dream
I stood beneath an orange sky
With my brother standing by
With my brother standing by
I said brother, you know you know
it's a long road we've been walking on,
brother you know it is, you know it is
such a long road we've been walking on

And I had a dream
I stood beneath an orange sky
With my sister standing by
With my sister standing by
I said Sister, here is what I know now
Here is what I know now
Goes like this..
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, in your love, in your love

But sister you know I’m so weary
And you know sister
My hearts been broken
Sometimes, sometimes
My mind is too strong to carry on
Too strong to carry on

When I am alone
When I’ve thrown off the weight of this crazy stone
When I've lost all care for the things I own
That's when I miss you, that's when I miss you, that's when I miss you
You are my home
You are my home
And here is what I know now
Here is what I know now
Goes like this..
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, in your love, in your love

Well I had a dream
I stood beneath an orange sky
Yes I had a dream
I stood beneath an orange sky
With my brother and my sister standing by
With my brother and my sister standing by
With my brother and my sister standing
