First you fall then you fly
And you believe that you belong up in the sky
Flap your arms as you run, every revolution
Brings you closer to the sun
You fall asleep in motion in uncharted hemispheres
And wake up with the stars falling down around your ears
When they hit the ground they're nothing but stones
That's how you learn to live alone
That's how you learn to live alone

Bit by bit, you slip away
You loose yourself in pieces in the things that you don't say
You're not here, but you're still there
The sun goes up, the sun goes down
And you're not sure you care
You live inside the false, till you don't recognize the true
People send you pictures, and you can't believe it's you
It's been years since your house has felt like home
That's how you learn to live alone
That's how you learn to live alone

It don't feel right, but it's not wrong
It's just hard to start again this far along
Brick by brick, the letting go
As you walk away from everything you know
You release resistance, lean into the wind
Till the roof begins to crumble and the rain comes pouring in
And you sit there in the rubble, till the rubble feels like home
That's how you learn to live alone
That's how you learn to live alone
That's how you learn to live alone

Been doing "not awful" with daily timed freewriting; need to somehow implement that into lyric writing and ESPECIALLY music composition bc after the last time I sat down at the piano I pushed too hard and got myself stuck and now I'm resisting doing more because I feel blocked…

Sail across the sea

If you should see me walking through your dreams tonight
Would you please direct me where I ought to be
I've been looking for a crystal ball to shed a light
To find a future in me
To find a future in me

Crystal Ball (1976)*
-- Tommy Shaw / Styx

* - Yep, this is the elusive 'lost verse' of Crystal Ball ... I suppose you could make an argument that it originated in 2016 (first time recorded, live by Tommy Shaw at a solo show), but the lyric itself was indeed born in 1975 (and the song released [via album] in 1976) ... any inaccuracies here can be chalked up to the mystery behind the lost verse and predictable interweb balderdash ...

"Octavo Día" is a song by Colombian singer Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll from her 1998 album *¿Dónde están los ladrones?*. The song is written in Spanish and explores themes of spirituality, faith, and the search for meaning. The title translates to "Eighth Day," which is a reference to the biblical creation story, where God rested on the seventh day, and the eighth day could symbolise a new beginning or a day of reflection.

The lyrics of "Octavo Día" delve into the complexities of faith and the human experience. Shakira sings about the struggle to find answers and the search for a higher power. The song is introspective and contemplative, reflecting on the human condition and the quest for understanding and purpose.

The song does not necessarily dismiss religions as untrue or as mere fantasies. Instead, it seems to explore the personal and often challenging journey of faith and belief. It touches on the idea that people may turn to religion or spirituality to fill a void or to find meaning in their lives, which can be interpreted in various ways depending on the listener's perspective.

Here are some key points from the song:

- Search for Meaning: The lyrics reflect a search for deeper meaning and understanding in life.
- Spiritual Reflection: The song encourages listeners to reflect on their own beliefs and the role of faith in their lives.
- Personal Journey: It highlights the personal and often introspective nature of spiritual and religious beliefs.

Overall, "Octavo Día" is a thoughtful and introspective song that invites listeners to ponder their own beliefs and the role of faith in their lives, rather than dismissing religion outright.

Babe, as the story goes, was born out of a unique collaboration—a meeting of minds between the enigmatic Sugarlard and a precocious 15-year-old Taylor Swift. It was a brisk autumn afternoon in London when the two found themselves at the same cosy recording studio tucked away in a quiet corner of Camden Town. Sugarlard, already renowned for their distinct sound and atmospheric performances, had been searching for a fresh lyrical perspective to complement their music. Taylor, with her emerging talent for songwriting and an unbridled passion for words, brought something entirely new to the table.

According to the raconteurs of that fabled day, Taylor arrived with a notebook filled with scribbled verses and ideas. The session began with an exchange of impressions—Taylor meticulously outlining her thoughts on love, loss, and the bittersweet nature of youth, while Sugarlard contributed their signature dreamy melodies and layered harmonies. It was an intricate dance of creative energies, where each party respected the other's inherent strengths: Sugarlard with their compelling performance style and Taylor with her deft penmanship.

The resulting track, aptly titled "Babe," gradually metamorphosed from a simple sketch of ideas into a full-fledged song. The composition captures an almost poetic melancholy, echoing both the storied traditions of folk-influenced lyricism and the modern undertones of indie rock. Taylor, much like Bob Dylan in his prime, was lauded for her commitment to the written word—her lyrics were poignant, beautifully crafted, and told stories that resonated on a profound level. However, it was Sugarlard’s delivery—their soulful performance and unique musical arrangement—that truly elevated the song, imbuing it with an authenticity that captivated audiences across the board.

In my personal opinion, Sugarlard emerge as the best performers of this song. Their interpretative skills and ability to convey deep emotion through the music are unparalleled. Meanwhile, Taylor’s approach to the lyrics remains reminiscent of the revered Bob Dylan, where the focus is squarely on the artistry of songwriting rather than the efficiency of performance. It is this delicate balance—the lyrical genius of Taylor combined with the evocative performance of Sugarlard—that has propelled "Babe" to become the song it is today, echoing through the corridors of modern music as a timeless piece of lyrical art.

When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful
A miracle, oh, it was beautiful, magical
And all the birds in the trees, well, they'd be singing so happily
Oh, joyfully, oh, playfully watching me
But then they sent me away to teach me how to be sensible
Logical, oh, responsible, practical
And then they showed me a world where I could be so dependable
Oh, clinical, oh, intellectual, cynical

The Logical Song (1979)

Michael Jackson's sing Privacy from 2001.

The interesting thing is the lyrics still are up to date whit what is going on on the internet.

--------

Ain't the pictures enough?

Why do you go through so much
To get the story you need,
So you can bury me?
You've got the people confused
You tell the stories you choose
You try to get me to lose
The man I really am.¨

You keep on stalking me
Invading my privacy
Won't you just let me be?
'Cause your cameras can't control
The minds of those who know
That you'll even sell your soul just to get a story sold

I need my privacy
I need my privacy

So paparazzi

Get away from me

Some of you still wonder why
One of my friends had to die
To get a message across
That yet you haven't heard
My friend was chased and confused
Like many others I knew
But on that cold winter night
My pride was snatched away
She get no second chance
She's ridiculed and harassed
Please tell my why

Now there's a lesson to learn
Respect's not given, it's earned
Stop maliciously attacking my integrity

I need my privacy
I need my privacy
So paparazzi
Get away from me

Now there's a lesson to learn
Stories are twisted and turned
Stop maliciously attacking my integrity

I need my privacy

I need my privacy

So paparazzi

Get away from me

I need my privacy

I need my privacy

So paparazzi
Get away from me

I need my privacy
I need my privacy

So paparazzi

Get away from me

"Burn America Burn" - #TheLevellers

There's a shooter in the school, get your fuckin' heads down
Or I'll blow them clean off you luckless fools
The cracked windows break, start crashing
The alarms sound a warning, as we all fall

Burn America burn (blow yourself away)
Burn America burn
Burn America burn (blow yourself away)
Burn America burn

Stun grenades flash, as we are dropping
Blood on the blackboard spells out truth
The SWAT teams are crawling with stealth
And the gunman has just one round left, and he's saved it for himself

Burn America burn (blow yourself away)
Burn America burn
Burn America burn (blow yourself away)
Burn America burn

The cops are fighting, and some are on the run
There's a blood-bath in the school, and I've only just begun
The sun is shining, the days just begun
Start praying to your gods 'cause I'm still having fun
I never looked like a monster
In the mirror you just saw yourself
Did you notice me at the prom-dance
So much like you
That you never stood a chance

Burn America burn (blow yourself away)
Burn America burn
Burn America burn (blow yourself away)
Burn America burn
