Tune-age Video Picks For 12/05/2009


Video: Within Temptation - The Last Time

Where From? Netherlands
Genre? Symphonic Metal, and Symphonic Rock
Who is the female lead singer? Sharon Janny den Adel
Within Temptation Wikilink

  
The Last Time 

For so long I've tried
Could not close my eyes.  
When you became a outcast in this life.

Again and again I try
to understand the demons inside your head,
but the truth is you love them to death.

Now, I know it's the last time 
I have tried
to lift you up to make you fight.
Nothing is ever easy in life.  
I can't change it 
if you don't have the will deep inside.

I have been blind to
how you justify  
everything that you've wasted in this life.

Got lost in the illusion,  
I'd find a solution 
for the demons in your head,  
but the truth is you love them to death.

Now, I know it's the last time 
I have tried  to lift you up to make you fight.  
Nothing is ever easy in life.  
I can't change it 
if you don't have the will deep inside.

You can blame and you can hide  
behind what is wrong and what is right.  
Life is the choices we make  
I hope you'll awake before it's too late.

Now, I know it's the last time I have tried
to lift you up to make you fight.
Nothing is ever easy in life.
I can't change it
if you don't have the will deep inside.

Cherished Princess Blue





  Cherished Princess Blue
      by JeromeProphet

My Cherished Princess Blue
Our love tears our hearts into two
Now my soul's sole obsession is you
And I haven't a clue what is due

My heart shall not yield without fight
Nor could suffer a darkened love light
Yet this love has taken its toll
Upon my lonely and tattered soul

 We're entangled within this love play
So I'm crafting words just to say
They're my best to share what is true
As I promise my life unto you


And my soul it is spinning around
For you my heart's come unbound
And it's true my life's not complete
Yet there's no higher devotion I'd seek


For my faith yet remains unbroken
These feelings must always be spoken
For I can not turn, nor run away
When my heart screams out just to say

That I'm completely in love with you
That no other girl could ever do
 And that our love is real and true
My darling, my baby princess blue






For Myself, Another, and Everyone

Video: Unsun - Face The Truth

***
 
What a beautiful song.

I know there are times when I feel like I have been forsaken in this life.
 
I know that many others feel the same way.
 
Many of us quietly suffer years of our lives away, leading what Henry David Thoreau described as, 'lives of quiet desperation'.

We often believe we are alone in carrying our burdens, but we are never alone.
 
*** 



Lyrics to Face The Truth

I'm weakening.
Something's wrong with me.
I thought that I was to come first.
I don't know what is true.
  
I'm living with fear from morning to night.
I'm losing my passion for life.
Hoping that the end of my worries is near.
 
I have changed myself growing up every day.
Face the truth about yourself.
You and I, we're all the same.
I have changed myself growing up every day.
Face the truth about yourself.
You and I, we're all the same.
 
I thought that I was right.
But I made a big mistake.
I am changing myself for good.
Because I have understood.
 
I feel like a grain of sand on the empty desert.
Every man is special, every man.
I feel like a grain.
 
I have changed myself growing up every day.
Face the truth about yourself.
You and I, we're all the same.
I have changed myself growing up every day.
Face the truth about yourself.
You and I, we're all the same.
 
I'm weakening.
Something's wrong with me.
I thought that I was to come first.
I don't know what is true.
 
I'm living with fear from morning to night.
I'm losing my passion for life.
Hoping that the end of my worries is near.
 
I have changed myself growing up every day.
Face the truth about yourself.
You and I, we're all the same.
I have changed myself growing up every day.
Face the truth about yourself.
You and I, we're all the same.
 
Everything I've known about, about the world.
Was just a fraction of the truth, truth about him.
I feel like a grain of sand on the empty desert.
I feel like a grain of sand.
I feel like a grain.
 
I have changed myself growing up every day.
Face the truth about yourself.
You and I, we're all the same.
I have changed myself growing up every day.
Face the truth about yourself.
You and I, we're all the same.

My TuneAge Picks For 11/28/2009


Unsun - Whispers 

Unsun Facts:
Where From? Poland - yes Poland.
Her name?  Annelyse "Aya" Stefanowicz
Genre: Gothic Metal

     
Unsun - Whispers

I'll give you all I've got to give
It's never too late to say I'm sorry
We have one life to live,
That'll be the beginning of a great story
You are my sun in the darkness of the night,
You are my ice land on the sea of memories
You are my sun in the darkness of the night
And be my eyes when I lose my sight

I like your whispering in the dark
There are whispers of the past
You are hiding deep inside my dreams,
Dreaming the final dream, the last
I like your whispering in the dark
There are whispers of the past
You are hiding deep inside my dreams,
Dreaming the final dream, the last

Give me more than you can take,
Then I'll give us a second chance
We have one life to live,
I'll give you all I've got to give
Like a moonlight, you're showing me the way,
Like heroine
You course in my veins,
Like a moonlight, you're showing me the way,
Like heroine
You course in my veins

I like your whispering in the dark
There are whispers of the past
You are hiding deep inside my dreams,
Dreaming the final dream, the last
I like your whispering in the dark
There are whispers of the past
You are hiding deep inside my dreams,
Dreaming the final dream, the last

Sirenia - The Path To Decay

Group: Sirenia
From: Norway
Genre: Gothic-Metal with a mix of Symphonic Metal and Death Metal
Her name: Ailyn (From Spain, born Pilar Giménez García)

Lyrics - The Path To Decay
   

(Verse 1)
Life brings nothing for the same
Keep searching new days on the horizon
While time just seems to slip away
I’m leaving no trace along the way

(Chorus)
Seems like I’m falling deeper, deeper inside myself
Feels like I’m growing weaker, much weaker each day
Along the path to decay

(Verse 2)
The lights are fading day by day
No cure for the lost, there’s no ascending
When life could not become more pale
A new dawn is here, another day

(Chorus)
Seems like I’m falling deeper, deeper inside myself
Feels like I’m growing weaker, much weaker each day
Along the path to decay

(Verse 3)
Darkness within myself (my soul?)
With people that stand to fall
The daylight is long since gone
But a new dawn has yet to come

(Chorus)
Seems like I’m falling deeper, deeper inside myself
Feels like I’m growing weaker, much weaker each day
Along the path to decay

Lunik - Everybody Knows

Where From? Switzerland
Genre: Pop, Rock, Trip Hop 
Who is she?  Jaël, born as Rahel Krebs
 
Lyrics - Everybody Knows

I love fairy-tales about shoes that dance on their own
About prince and princess in glittering dresses on festivals
I love sunsets when the world seems so sweet
Everything inside me is longing for a happy end
Why can't they let me be
This is me
Do I harm anyone
I love to live in harmony and die for trashy melodies
But this ain't life it's all about this game

Everybody shows and everybody sees
Everybody dares and everybody fears
In the end we're all the same
Everybody knows and everybody feels
Everybody hurts and everybody heals
In the end we're all the same

I love to stand still, feel the wind in my hair
Taste a raindrop spy out a bookshop and observe the people reading there
Why can't they let me be
This is me
Do I harm anyone
I love to live in harmony and die for trashy melodies
But this ain't life it's all about this game

Everybody shows everybody sees
everybody dares and everybody fears
In the end we're all the same
Everybody knows and everybody feels
Everybody hurts and everybody heals
In the end we're all the same

I whistle during shopping and weep when there's no way out
From time to time I even laugh out loud

Everybody shows and everybody sees
Everybody dares and everybody fears
In the end we're all the same
Everybody knows and everybody feels
Everybody hurts and everybody heals
In the end we're all the same
Everybody shows and everybody sees
Everybody dares and everybody fears
In the end we're all the same
Everybody knows and everybody feels
Everybody hurts and everybody heals
In the end we're all the same
Oh I don't like this game

Everybody, oh everybody knows, everybody knows

The Distillers Facts:
From: Los Angeles, California
Her name: Brody Dalley from Australia
Genre: Street Punk
Comments: Brody wrote or cowrote most of the songs which appear on the group's recordings.

Lyrics - The Hunger


Holy eyes, I never knew I'd beg down at your feet
Hold on tight, I never knew I'd know much more than this
Open sky, the wave of pain, the scent of you is bliss
Hungry eyes, they stare at me...
I know, I know--
Don't go...

Summertime, the taste of saint secretes a perfume mist
Console the mind, I take it in with lips of pink I kiss
Lonely sky, the more you take the more that I give in
Holy eyes, I never knew, I know, I know--
Don't go...

Hold onto the memory, it's all you've got
I know you'll be there to soak up blood lost, blood lost, blood....

Don't go...

Hold onto the memory, it's all you've got
I know you'll be there to soak up blood lost
Hold onto the memory, it's all you've got
I know you'll be there to soak up blood lost, blood lost, blood lost.

Hey hey ah hey ah
Yeah
Hey hey ah hey

Eyy hey ah hey hey ah
Yeah oh

Yeah-Hwuah

The Distillers - Die on a Rope

The Lyrics - Die on a Rope


Tell me something, tell me stupid, will I die, will I die on a rope?
Tell me something, tell me stupid, will I die, will I die?

I wish that you didn't love me no more, I've been dead for years,
I wish that you didn't own me no more, I've been here before.

Tell me something, tell me stupid, will I die, will I die on a rope?
Tell me something, tell me stupid, will I die, will I die? No, I won't!
Tell me something, tell me stupid, will I die, will I die on a rope?
Tell me something, tell me stupid, will I die, will I die?

I want to draw the blood from your neck, spill the lies in your bed.
I will give you a holy white rose, cut the tongue from your head.

Tell me something, tell me stupid, will I die, will I die on a rope?
Tell me something, tell me stupid, will I die, will I die? No, I won't!
Tell me something, tell me stupid, will I die, will I die on a rope?
Tell me something, tell me stupid, will I die, will I die?

I belong to a line of red scent, teach the heart to reflect.
The wound is wise for primal black eyes, there's a scarlet letter in my chest.

 
That's it for me!  And thank you Captain Dave for the hospitality, the brew, a place to hide out for a while from the superior forms of life which tolerate us - women.


  
TUNE-AGE FACTS
 
What is 'Tune-age'?  Tune-age is a diversion from boredom which accompanies many beers, and talk about sports, and women.
Where does it take place?  "Dave's World" - a solace from women (in Springfield, Illinois).
When? Usually on Saturday nights, but it can be a Friday night too.
How is Tune-age played?  Everyone must bring some music video picks, and they get played.  We then either say good things about the video, the group, the song, the music - or we completely ignore it.
Who Plays Tune-age? Just us cool guys who show up - about four in number.
Where Is Dave's World? My buddy Dave's - in his west side Springfield, Illinois "Den".
    
NOTE: By the time we descend into "Dave's World" many fine beers have been consumed, and this fact seems to help make the experience much more interesting than it probably is.
  
Last week I was informed that females can actually join in the festivities if one were to want to - but we're keeping that a secret.

Echo and the Bunnymen - Lips Like Sugar

She floats like a swan
Grace on the water
Lips like sugar
Lips like sugar
Just when you think you've caught her
She glides across the water
She calls for you tonight
To share this moonlight

She'll flow down your river
And ask him and she'll give you

Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses

She knows what she knows
I know what she's thinking
Sugar kisses
Sugar kisses
Just when you think she's yours
She's flown to other shores
To laugh at how you break
To melt into this lake

She'll flow down your river
And ask him and she'll give you
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses

She'll be my mirror
Reflect what I am
A loser and a winner
The King of Siam
And my Siamese twin
She knows what I'm thinking

She'll flow down your river
And ask him and she'll give you

Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses

A Truth Brighter Than The Sun



A Truth Brighter Than The Sun
by JeromeProphet

Now do you see it clearly
It's burning brighter than the sun
A truth which shines so dearly
That you're my beloved one
  
Can you hear my heart beating
Shouting my love so clear
Let it guide you - you're perfection
My sweetest darling dear
    
God's made the key before us
And you must unlock the door
To this self imposed prison
So what are you waiting for
  
Now put your hand in my hand
We'll fly from this troubled land
Make a new life together
Live the dreams we've planned

You're no sinner nor whore my love
His words are only more abuse
To tear you up like your baby's doll
Just more of his lies to confuse
 
One day you'll see it clearly
It is time this race is run
The path to our happy future
Has nearly begun
 
We can share this journey together
If you wish my most loved sacred one
And I'll honor you forever
Until the day my life is done

I'll respect your new won freedom
And I'll cherish it as well
You are no possession or belonging
To be trapped in yet another man's hell

Just take that first step my BFF
And meet me just half way
Then we'll greet the peace and happiness 
That awaits us in coming days

A Retrospective from Summer 2015:
 
Most of my poems written at the time of this post were dedicated to GreenEyes, or Taylor's Girl - two names a young woman whom I was deeply in love with at the time went by.  I created an avatar that looked similar to her and posted it.  It was very much a hot cold relationship which ended years ago.

Silenced Love Intrusion


Silenced Love Intrusion
by JeromeProphet

Our love is an illusion
My fault
My pained confusion

One heart that beats
Not two
A broken heart so blue

Your silence an intrusion
Upon my self delusion
It speaks as loud as thunder
Pushing my soul dark under

And whom is there to blame
Can anyone be shamed
For what they fail to do
For not feeling 'I love you'

For it's my thoughts and feelings
That has sent my life reeling
And not your heart so bare
of love for me or care

So what should I now do
Make die this love for you
Or let it wither in silence
buried in unsung violence

And what of memories we made
The future plans we laid
Of soft kisses on golden days
Of the children we would raise

Are those thoughts now unmade
Or living in another way
In some distant place and time
A place we still could find

I'm hoping you hear it too
The song that led me to you
It's sung each and every day
God blessed in every way

And if ever you understand
We'll reach that promised land
And join our souls with love
Eternal, infinite, and one.

Peregrine Falcon Graces Downtown Springfield Illinois


Peregrine Falcon Dives Faster Than 180 MPH

One perk of working in downtown Springfield, Illinois is the presence of a Peregrine Falcon.  Several weeks ago I walked within about ten meters (30 feet) of a Peregrine.  I snapped a few photos with my cellphone camera, but the quality was so poor that I won't post them here.

Over the last month, or more, I've seen the Peregrine eating (some captured prey?) in one of our company's parking lots.  Yesterday the Falcon flew just feet above my SUV while I was driving down Jefferson street at lunch time - to the delight of me, and my friend Greeneyes.
 
What an incredible bird of prey.  Just to see this beautiful bird stretch its wings and soar is such a privilege.  Not many decades ago this incredible bird was listed on the endangered species list, but has made a remarkable recovery due to the banning of the pesticide DDT.

My Crazy Evil Twisted Loser Love



My Crazy Evil Twisted Loser Love
by jeromeprophet

   
I've learned not to expect anything from you
This way when I get nothing at all
Or worse yet - rejection, and even abuse
I am not as hurt, or as confused
   
And when you give me something at all
 
Your hand
Your hug
Your kiss
Your smile
Your time
Your kindness
Your thoughts
Your love
Your dreams
Your hopes
Your trust
Your life
  

No matter how fleeting
No matter what price I must pay
  
I am happily surprised
