I am going to start on a personal level. I was in hospital for over a month four years ago and it was awful! I was frightened and even though all my boys, my husband and lots friends visited me I was lonely. At that time I had a page on LastFM and all the messages of encouragement and kind inquiries after my health , helped me so much.
It was music that helped me I could not sit up and had to lie flat so reading and watching TV was difficult . Lots of music and books on my ipod . I truly believe that without the music I could not of got to where I am today . So to start here is one track that got me through, weeks in hospital months and months of physio and on going walking and gym. Thank you Imogen Heap you are a hero!

Next is a silly but truthful song from the Film Mary Poppins, Spoon full of sugar. Music is always a sugar does and it always helps the medicine taste better.

MARS AT OPPOSITION: Mars is approaching opposition. On March 3-5,
the Red Planet will be up all night long, opposite the sun and as
close to Earth as it will get in 2012. Mars shines overhead at midnight
6 times brighter than a 1st magnitude star and looks great through a backyard telescope
Hail Philosopher of the colours. A rainbow man no doubt, afresh the canvas waits for you to shade in light and dark.
The old and tired grays and purples of things best forgot will lurk in corners and await their chance to burst forth.
If not imprisoned properly they will seep out and discolour the brightest vista and most happy moment, they show no remorse.
Just try harder as I do to block their poisonous course. The fresh and open page, the as yet perfect pallet will not stay that way for long.
In fact if you look closely you will see the corruption has begun.
Perhaps it never stopped? You can see all shades and colours hinted there, all darks and lights are slowly seeping through.In grief we turn and realize we can’t escape the old year’s ties.
Run, run as fast your brain can carry, you will not win but do not tarry.
Keep up the show and laugh and joke. For in reality your horrors surround you like smoke. Don’t slow, don’t appeal for help if you don’t flee you will choke.
Your path is set, your time is measured you cannot change the course. No helping hand is really there just hear the fortunes sing despair.
There is no change at stroke of midnight, there is no new, for time and date are man-made as is the human curse.
Just a long, long road we have to travel until we reach the end. Don’t waste effort on what has been or what has yet to come.
Grab each joy and use it to extreme. There is no future nor is there past they are gone or not yet here. The now is what you command; the only way to survive is live each moment make a stand.
Spread light and warmth, pass truth and love around.
As for good things use them now don’t let them slip away for dark is waiting in the wings. Remember, waiting to spill onto your unsuspecting page.
it creeps up behind you, BOO! then speeds off away as you try to turn over a new leaf.
Look at the puppet who is she,
is she the doll or is the doll me?
Or am I the puppet master
I do not know which is which as I spin and dance faster
and fall into a ditch..
The minutes disappear as the hours fly by,
days turn to weeks then months as the year dies.
Suddenly we find ourselves at the very last tick,
time has run out and the candle is at the end of it’s wick.
Time is a devil time is a thief
it creeps up behind you, BOO! then speeds off away as you try to turn over a new leaf.
Looking out to the horizon it cannot be seen
as it slowly advances like a killing machine.
Devouring all in it way, leaving wreckage behind
I warned you did I not, time is cruel and unkind.
It ravages the landscape and dirties the towns
it sours your looks, spoils your figure and turns smiles into frowns.
If your not watching it plays tricks on you ,
it messes with your head and laughs at the things that you do.
Time is a devil time is a thief
it creeps up behind you, BOO! then speeds off away as you try to turn over a new leaf.
So once again we arrive at the edge of time
what is the point, but for the dates, what is before us is no different to what is behind!
What is the point of all this tadoo
tomorrow is tomorrow what ever you do.
The world should of stopped last year December twenty one
but we are still here so is the weather though I’m not sure about the sun.
Time is a devil time is a thief
it creeps up behind you, BOO! then speeds off away as you try to turn over a new leaf.
The world this New Years Eve is heavily in debt ,
there are wars a plenty, famine , disease and pain it will all be here tomorrow I bet.
So lift up your glasses and be of good cheer what was plaguing you today, tomorrow ………. it will still be all here.
Time is a devil time is a thief
it creeps up behind you, BOO! then speeds off away as you try to turn over a new leaf.
You may remember last new years eve Death took a rest when he met with the New Year and Hope he basked in their naive presence for a while shared their feelings and they made him happy , not something he experiences every day, they made him smile. Then time moved on and circumstances changed and Hope and the New Year grew older and tired. Hope became Hopeless and the New Year became the Old, worn out, used, bitter and cold.
So light your fireworks drink your toast
cling on to those you love the most.
Wave good bye to the ageing year and bravely step forth into a brand New Year.
Time is a devil time is a thief
it creeps up behind you, BOO! then speeds off away as you try to turn over a new leaf.
Now please don’t tell Bear, Eva, Deborah or Johnny that I am running so late with this post on humans ! I do have excuses but you don’t need to hear them!
Right then shall we start!
Firstly I wanted to put up Bjork’s Human because it is one of my favourite songs and videos sadly it has been used so I am posting a Japanese cover by Hajime Chitose close your eyes and it could be Bjork ……. Open your eyes it could be Bjork! (*_*)
Now what makes humans different from practically all animals……… they have sex for fun and not because their bodies tell them too , well not all the time.
This song needs no explantion……….. No it does not! Forgivness maybe but not explanation ! The Bloodhound Gang , The Bad touch
So what do we do that animals don’t : we lie , we cheat and hurt.
We hurt each other we fight wars and hurt our children
We abuse our own children, even in the most evolved societies.
PLEASE BE AWARE , UPSETTING AND GRAPHIC LANGUAGE AND CONTENT. THE PHOTOS ARE FROM THE INTERNET AND ARE NOT ABUSED CHILDREN AS FAR AS I KNOW.
Tiny little fingers in the dust, huge eyes so sad begging for your crust. You are so hungry you need it for you but this is your child, who you can’t deny, true?
Hunger gnawing at your bones like cancer spreading fast. You worry if you’ll be strong enough to find water, as what you have just will not last.
No one is going to help you, your sons and daughters gone for soldiers.These two left will escape that fate as they will not grow much older. Your milk dried up, your belly empty. It hurts so much to walk but walk you must, you can’t stop. The baby at your breast has long since ceased crying. This sweet young child clinging to your skirt is dying.
Where is the help that was promised where is the aid that you need. You have walked days now with no hope of helping your children not even to feed. The baby needs medicine the western doctors dispense you have to flee from your home just were is the sense.
War at your left side famine at your right , politicians and corrupt leaders uncaring of your plight. Had you stayed they would of killed you or worse …OH! my poor children your birth is your curse.
Standing at the top of the hill you can see a straggling encampment a red cross flag flying still. You put down the baby his soul already flown to your husbands arms now, at least not alone. You need to rest but your aim is in reach . You lay in the dust next to your babes, close your eyes just ignore the flies.
Tiny little fingers in the dust , huge eyes so sad finally closed. Where is the help that was promised where is the aid.War on your left side famine at your right they no longer threaten you Death has arrive to erase your plight.
But it is still happening, isn’t it . Many say that is life that is the human lie………. Is it really.
Well I suppose I should finish on a happy note……….. Let me see Humans are always hopeful . So lets have a couple of songs of hope. Firstly a song from the Decemberists . Sons and Daughters. As I hear this song after either a huge war or a huge calamity those that are left get together to start again . I love this song and this a beautiful human video!
Now I am finishing with some advice the best I have ever had! “Better Get To Livin’ ” When I was at the lowest edd of my recent life I came across this wonderful video . Obviously made by a lovely young man, who I hope is well happy and living a good life taking Dolly Parton’s advice
Goodness this lad his smile and Dolly’s words have saved me more than once!!
Okay sorry this was not my usual entree but love hugs and good vibes to you all !! Oh! and yes BETTER GET TO LIVIN!
