I love VNV Nation, but for some reason (planets?), these 2 were just hauntingly beautiful to me as I heard them that it almost brought me to tears (usually I just like them, not sure why it's so beautiful to me right now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_fLkbxnoGA Conceal your deepest worries Confine your thoughts inside The walls you built of damaged pride The light in your eyes failing Like you're adrift Like night pretending to be day These storms subside Though the past, the unwanted memories, are holding onto you All the power in the universe conspires to carry you Truths you find through your adversities will defend you As your powers and all your energies conspire to carry you The adversary to your soul The blackest thoughts That try to poison you These storms subside Lay down your greatest burden Relinquish that which has control of you And let yourself through... Though it seems the past and the future look the same Suffice to say you're still here xxx http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVf2EeTMNJo I know it's hard to tell how mixed up you feel Hoping what you need is behind every door Each time you get hurt, I don't want you to change Because everyone has hopes, you're human after all The feeling sometimes wishing you were someone else Feeling as though you never belong This feeling is not sadness, this feeling is not joy I truly understand, please don't cry now Please don't go, I want you to stay I'm begging you, please, please don't leave here I don't want you to hate for all the hurt that you feel The world is just illusion trying to change you Being like you are, well, this is something else Who would comprehend? But some that do lay claim Divine purpose blesses them, that's not what I believe And it doesn't matter anyway A part of your soul ties you to the next world Or maybe to the last but I'm still not sure But what I do know is to us the world is different As we are to the world, I guess you would know that Please don't go, I want you to stay I'm begging you, please, please don't leave here I don't want you to hate for all the hurt that you feel The world is just illusion trying to change you xxx BONUS: I also love this song, one of my favorites, and I'll combine it with a vid someone on YT made as it has some beautiful imagery in space (though also some scenes from a disaster movie), and btw, I've read that our sun really does look white when seen from space outside Earth's atmosphere (and looks different colors on different planets depending on the atmosphere, 'course the sun's colors can change even here on Earth depending on time and weather conditions): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwlsziopzmQ The will to greatness clouds the mind Consumes the senses, veils the signs We each are meant to recognize Redeeming graces cast aside Enduring notions, new found promise That the end will never come We live in times when all seems lost But time will come when we'll look back Upon ourselves and on our failings Embrace the void even closer still Erase your doubts as you surrender everything We possess the power If this should start to fall apart To mend divides To change the world To reach the farthest star If we should stay silent If fear should win our hearts Our light will have long diminished Before it reaches the farthest star Wide awake in a world that sleeps Enduring thoughts, enduring scenes The knowledge of what is yet to come From a time when all seems lost From a dead man to a world Without restraint, unafraid and free We possess the power If this should start to fall apart To mend divides To change the world To reach the farthest star If we should stay silent If fear should win our hearts Our light will have long diminished Before it reaches the farthest star If we fall and break All the tears in the world cannot make Us whole Again We possess the power If this should start to fall apart To mend divides To change the world To reach the farthest star If we should stay silent If fear should win our hearts Our light will have long diminished Before it reaches the farthest star Maybe I'll share another one later, though it's definitely on the sad side.

I find it hard to explain why I put it in SPITR, but it's like these are survivor songs, and songs of hope when all seems lost, and even about transformation. I could be seemingly random and quote an Emily Dickinson poem (Tempest) right now that I think is related in her own way, but I won't. The world "being illusion, trying to change you" also made me think of something David Icke said (I'm not generally a fan of his, but I found one of his lectures brilliant, even if he's wrong, it would make for an awesome novel!), but that's a long story.

If there is one song that I have to include here that is moving and soulful then I have to include Don McLean's song about the artist Vincent Van Gogh and his battle through depression and mental illness. The way McLean portrayed Vincent and how he communicated his thoughts through his artwork and paintings is exquisite. "Vincent, Starry Starry Night" Starry, starry night Paint your palette blue and gray Look out on a summer's day With eyes that know the darkness in my soul Shadows on the hills Sketch the trees and the daffodils Catch the breeze and the winter chills In colors on the snowy linen land Now I understand What you tried to say to me And how you suffered for your sanity And how you tried to set them free They would not listen, they did not know how Perhaps they'll listen now Starry, starry night Flaming flowers that brightly blaze Swirling clouds in violet haze Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue Colors changing hue Morning fields of amber grain Weathered faces lined in pain Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand Now I understand What you tried to say to me And how you suffered for your sanity And how you tried to set them free They would not listen, they did not know how Perhaps they'll listen now For they could not love you But still your love was true And when no hope was left in sight On that starry, starry night You took your life, as lovers often do But I could've told you Vincent This world was never meant for One as beautiful as you Starry, starry night Portraits hung in empty halls Frame-less heads on nameless walls With eyes that watch the world and can't forget Like the strangers that you've met The ragged men in ragged clothes The silver thorn of bloody rose Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow Now I think I know What you tried to say to me And how you suffered for your sanity And how you tried to set them free They would not listen, they're not listening still Perhaps they never will IP: Logged |

Really love all of those above songs… And I have always felt an attachment to this track at varying times in my life… (Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Green Day), and when paired the Anime : Full Metal Alchemist in this AMV. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWYkk73Gvik I just love such even more when combined with the Story of that Series ![](http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/blueheart.gif)

Thanks for adding those!It was surreal, and perhaps pleasing to my Libra scales, to watch the FMA (Full Metal Alchemist) AMV (Anime Music Vid) and then the vid Starry Starry Night right after. IP: Logged |

I wasn't looking for them. I just felt like some music as I did some busywork and put on an old CD I hadn't heard for awhile. I was so moved that I found them on YT and shared them here.Music usually doesn't affect me as it did when I was younger. Even now it was different, but it was still very strong in a way that it hasn't been for a long time. IP: Logged |

Thank you for sharing the songs you found. I'm noticing the same effect in myself. That certain music doesn't impact me as much as it did a couple of years ago. So I can understand (from my own perspective of course) what you mean. IP: Logged |

Yeah. I thought it was very fitting for this thread. That is one of the best Disney movies and songs. IP: Logged |

I'm not sure if "Moving" is the right word, but this song about the Cheshire Cat (or kittens of said cat) made me grin so much: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ueZo5i6GPg Perhaps it's because I love surreal lands, and had a fondness for Lewis Carroll since I was a little girl. And I think the very start reminded me of how quiet and resilient I had to be as a child in a dysfunctional alcoholic home, often with books of the fantastic (including said Lewis Carroll, though I think I was 9-10 before I first read his books) to escape into. As the lyrics start: I grew up seeing things a little differently, appearing, disappearing, hardly innocent, nor tied down to the ground. I learned to roll and tumble with the punches, glory in my stripes and spots walk by invisible and never make a sound So I got sucked into it fast (and it has a quality that makes me think of Dar Williams, whose music and lyrics I'm fond of). Other parts made me think of how crazy the world is...and how I'm okay with that (well, most of the time). I guess it's like that even though life is crazy, unpredictable, and hard to understand, one can still find a grin in it all. IP: Logged |
