The Wind

Alias prevails again. 1st episode of season 4 featured this song by legendary musician Cat Stevens.  In the youtube video he says, "It's about the journey."  Someone else said, "it talks about instinct and thirst for knowledge.....that's what the water part is about."   Of course, you'll have to decide for yourself what it means.  A beautiful song that deserves to be played in a silent house or car with the volume on high.

I listen to the wind

to the wind of my soul

Where I'll end up well I think,

only God really knows

I've sat upon the setting sun

But never, never never never

I never wanted water once

No, never, never, never



I listen to my words but

they fall far below

I let my music take me where

my heart wants to go

I swam upon the devil's lake

But never, never never never

I'll never make the same mistake

No, never, never, never

Something Else

I just started watching Season 3 of ALIAS.  In general, they have amazing music selections.  This was no exception.  I was even more amazed when I read the lyrics.  I just started reading Sue Monk Kidd's "Dance of the Dissident Daughter" which happens to be amazingly timely in relation to the journey I'm on right now.  I'll write more about it sometime soon, but I will just say that this song resonates with me in a very real way.  It also happens to be a lovely song.  Enjoy.

Something Else by Gary Jules

They never tell you truth is subjective
They only tell you not to lie
They never tell you there's strength in vulnerability
They only tell you not to cry


But I've been living underground
Sleeping on the way
And finding something else to say
Is like walking on the freeway


They never tell you you don't need to be ashamed
They only tell you to deny
So is it true that only good girls go to heaven?
They only sell you what you buy


And I've been living underground
Sleeping on the way
And finding something else to say
Is like walking on the freeway
I've been living underground


Trying not to burn
And finding something else to learn
At Hollywood and western

Listen to this lovely, amazing song:
