You'll Be Bright

You'll Be Bright by: Cloud Cult

All the things you'll love,

All the things that may hurt you,

All the things you shouldn't do,

And all the things you want to...

They're calling your name...travel safely.

Every first kiss, every crisis, every heartbreak and every act of kindness...

They're calling your name...travel safely.

Every empire, every monument, every masterpiece and every invention,

They're calling your name...travel safely.

I found stars on the tip of your tongue.

You speak Poltergeist, so do I. So do I.

What comes will come.
What goes will go.

The wind will blow where the wind is blowing.
Let go of where you think you're going.

We'll never know why it flows where it's flowing.

We've always been what we will always be.

I'm so convinced we have to get there, we can part the sea.

So bring the dead to life, turn your blood to wine.

All your life you have waited for this moment to arrive.

And you'll be bright.

Ghost of Corporate Future

This song by Regina Spektor is absolutely amazing. This is our world, people! Seriously!

Definitely makes you think. I was going to post some of the lyrics, but I realized they're all so perfectly relevant: I'm posting the whole song and link for it. This is what society has come to... We've got to change our ways!


In the meantime, enjoy! :)


"Ghost Of Corporate Future"

A man walks out of his apartment,
It is raining, he's got no umbrella
He starts running beneath the awnings,
Trying to save his suit,
Trying to save his suit.
Trying to dry, and to dry, and to dry but no good

When he gets to the crowded subway platform,
He takes off both of his shoes
He steps right into somebody's fat loogie
And everyone who sees him says, "Ew."
Everyone who sees him says, "Ew."

But he doesn't care,
'Cause last night he got a visit from the
Ghost of Corporate Future
The ghost said, "Take off both your shoes
Whatever chances you get
Especially when they're wet."

He also said,
"Imagine you go away
On a business trip one day
And when you come back home,
Your children have grown
And you never made your wife moan,
Your children have grown
And you never made your wife moan."

"And people make you nervous
You'd think the world is ending,
And everybody's features have somehow started blending
And everything is plastic,
And everyone's sarcastic,
And all your food is frozen,
It needs to be defrosted."

"You'd think the world was ending,
You'd think the world was ending,
You'd think the world was ending right now.
You'd think the world was ending,
You'd think the world was ending,
You'd think the world was ending right now."

"Well maybe you should just drink a lot less coffee,
And never ever watch the ten o'clock news,
Maybe you should kiss someone nice,
Or lick a rock,
Or both."

"Maybe you should cut your own hair
'Cause that can be so funny
It doesn't cost any money
And it always grows back
Hair grows even after you're dead"

"And people are just people,
They shouldn't make you nervous.
The world is everlasting,
It's coming and it's going.
If you don't toss your plastic,
The streets won't be so plastic.
And if you kiss somebody,
Then both of you'll get practice."

"The world is everlasting
Put dirtballs in your pocket,
Put dirtballs in your pocket,
And take off both your shoes.
'Cause people are just people,
People are just people,
People are just people like you.
People are just people,
People are just people,
People are just people like you."

The world is everlasting
It's coming and it's going
The world is everlasting
It's coming and it's going
It's coming and it's going

The Mountain -- Trevor Hall

The lyrics for the songs on the new cd aren't posted online yet. So I listen to the songs and write down the words, as best I can. And then I share them with you. Because I love these songs. :) Obviously it's better when you have the music... But still. :P

Well, no more thieves. I believe in the goodness of heart.
Its return, let it burn. Let 'em know who we are.
An ancient tribe of the sky; the redeemer of men.
Sound the song. Evil gone, there's no need to defend.
Yea, way up on the mountain. Way up on the mountain.
Way up on the mountain, way up on the mountain.
Disappear, in the clear of the elephant's roam.
Melodies from the sea, they come forward and bloom.
In the end, all my friends, I return them in love.
Yea, in love. Me and you cook the food as we all send above.
Way up on the mountain, way up on the mountain.
Way up on the mountain, way up on the mountain.
No more thieves, I believe. No more thieves.
I believe in the goodness of heart.
In the end, in the end, all my friends return them in love.
Way up on the mountain, way up on the mountain.
