Music not Musings!

I must confess since I've been trying to live beyond ego and in Love I really hate listening to a lot of love songs on the radio (well, not hate, but you get the picture) it's all about shallow love lost and blah blah blah, and hard to find something worthwhile listening too... but October Project are great, have loved them for years and been listening to them a lot at the moment :o) Have just heard they are in the throws of recording a new album too (without Mary Fahl the lead vocalist) but the same song writers and other singers etc. Should be good stuff, can't wait!

Read through these lyrics and tell me they're not talking about spiritual stuff here :o)

Now I Lay Me Down...

out of the silence
Into the blue
You finally remember where you've been
You finally remember who you are
And you remember the light

Out of the spirit
Into the flesh
The animal heartbeat in the chest
The naked desire
The appetite
But you remember the light

Now I lay me down
To dream
Out of the fire
Into the night
Communion of body into smoke
Human and sacred
The sacrifice
You will remember the light

Now I lay me down
To dream
Now I lay me down
To dream of light


One Dream...

In this dream of life and death
I know so much I will forget
I know your body and your breath
I know your rhythm and your touch
I want you here
I want so much
I fear too much

Far too human to let go
I fight the river and the flow
I fight the love and the fear

I do not want to leave you here
In one body you appear
In this dream

I dream
And I still want so much
To touch the inside

I dream
And I still want to stay
Inside this dream with you

Now I know
That every dream begins with you
And ends in time
Now I know
That maybe I am too alive

If I could speak in tongues of flame
I'd burn forever with your name
And take it with me through all time
I would remember who you are
In every life I'd touch your heart
In every dream

I dream
And I want so much
To touch the inside

I dream
And I still want to stay
Inside this dream with you...



and here they are :o)




If I Could...

If I could
I would always tell the truth
I would always love you
From the heart

If I could
I would take you in my arms
Take you inside
Into my heart

If I could
I would be the place you turn
When you're feeling lonely
Or afraid

I would shine
Like a lantern in the dark
Take you inside
Into my heart

When you feel as if
You don't know who you are
I'll remind you with my love

If I could
I would always keep you safe
Take you inside
Into my heart

When you feel as if
You simply can't go on
I'll remind you that you're strong

If I could
I would love you as you are
Take you inside
Into my heart
Into my arms
Into my life.
