Janet Jackson "Runaway" + Juliahee Kim




Song is "Runaway" by Janet Jackson. Snowboarder is Julia at Mt. Bachelor, Oregon in April 2008. My first attempt at video.

I've seen the world
Been to many places

Made lots of friends
Many different races

I've had such fun
Around the world it's true
African skies with Nairobi mood
I fell asleep in Tuscany and dreamed

The one thing missing was you

Chorus:
Runaway with me my love

Yeah yeah yeah yeah
The one thing missing was you
Runaway with me my love
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

I woke up with an Australian breeze
And danced the dance with Aborigines

Oh under the moon glow
Down in Mexico

I dreamed
One thing was missing that's you
Repeat Chorus

We'll sail the water of many colours
Won't need no compass

Love will guide our way
Don't need nobody
Long as we got each other
No need to hurry
We've got everyday
I want to share
The world with you you see
Springtime in Paris

Was so good to me
Oh this is for me and
Reality so please
Make all my wishes come true

Runaway with me my love
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
The one thing missing was you
And I just want to have a good time
Yeah
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
And I just know we'll have a good time
Yeah
Oh please come with me
And I just know we'll have a good time
It'll be fun walking in the rain in Spain
And I just know we'll have a good time
And I just know we'll have a good time
And I just know we'll have a good time

Funkadelic "Maggot Brain"



"Maggot Brain" is a song by the band Funkadelic. It appears as the lead track on their 1971 album of the same name. A penetrating, mind-melting guitar solo by Eddie Hazel. The solo is mostly played in a pentatonic minor scale in the key of E over another guitar track of a simple arpeggio. .

Spectacular Norway Northern Lights



March 21, 2012—Multicolored curtains of light fill the skies over northern Norway in a new time-lapse video made from aurora images taken this month. Filmmakers Claus and Anneliese Possberg used about 600 frames to create the video. (Music by Justin Durban, www.justindurban.com)

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds "Breathless"


Poetry set to music.


It's up in the morning and on the downs
Little white clouds like gambolling lambs
And I am breathless over you
And the red-breasted robin beats his wings
His throat it trembles when he sings
For he is helpless before you
The happy hooded bluebells bow
And bend their heads all a-down
Heavied by the early morning dew
At the whispering stream, at the bubbling brook
The fishes leap up to take a look
For they are breathless over you
Still your hands
And still your heart
For still your face comes shining through
And all the morning glows anew
Still your mind
Still your soul
For still, the fare of love is true
And I am breathless without you
The wind circles among the trees
And it bangs about the new-made leaves
For it is breathless without you
The fox chases the rabbit round

The rabbit hides beneath the ground
For he is defenceless without you
The sky of daytime dies away
And all the earthly things they stop to play
For we are all breathless without you
I listen to my juddering bones
The blood in my veins and the wind in my lungs
And I am breathless without you
Still your hands
And still your heart
For still your face comes shining through
And all the morning glows anew
Still your soul
Still your mind
Still, the fire of love is true
And I am breathless without you

Kazuki Tomokawa "The God is Crying in the Well"

   

Kazuki Tomokawa (友川 かずき), is a prolific Japanese musician, active in the Japanese music scene since the early seventies. He is often described as a "screaming philosopher" due to his idiosyncratic singing style. His music has been used in the films of cult directors Takashi Miike and Koji Wakamatsu, and he also appears in person in Miike's Izo (2004).

Frank Turner "I Still Believe"





Hear ye, hear ye, friends and romans, countrymen
Hear ye, hear ye, punks and skins and journeymen
Hear ye, hear ye, my sisters and my brethren,
Our time is coming near.
So come ye, come ye, to soulless corporate circus tops,
Come ye, come ye, to toilet circuit touring stops,
Come ye, come ye, to bedrooms, bars and bunker squats,
The sound is ringing clear

Now who’d've thought, after all,
Something as simple as rock ‘n’ roll would save us all?
Who’d've thought that after all it was rock n roll.

Hear ye, hear ye, now anybody could take this stage,
Hear ye, hear ye, and make miracles for minimum wage,
Hear ye, hear ye, our folk songs for the modern age
Will hold us in their arms
Right here, right now, Elvis brings his children home,
Right here, right now, you never have to feel alone
Right here, right now, teenage kicks and gramophones,
We hold them in our hearts.

I still believe in the saints
In Jerry Lee and Johnny, and all the greats
I still believe in the sound
That has the power to raise a temple, and tear it down
I still believe in the need
For guitars and drums and desperate poetry
I still believe that everyone
Can find a song for every time they’ve lost, and every time they’ve won
So just remember folks we’re not just saving lives, we’re saving souls and we’re having fun.

Diana Krall "Look of Love"


Diana Krall - Look Of Love (From "Live In Paris... by EagleRockTV

This is smooth as the sound of silk at midnight.

Beirut "A Sunday Smile"


If I close my eyes while listening to this song I always see myself swimming slowly and happily from one island to another in warm, embyronic, turquoise waters. Sun and waves and gentle winds, all love and lightness.  I can swim forever.

e.e. cummings



pity this busy monster,manunkind,
not. Progress is a comfortable disease:
your victum(death and life safely beyond)
plays with the bigness of his littleness
-electrons deify one razorblade
into a mountainrange;lenses extend
unwish through curving wherewhen until unwish
returns on its unself.
A world of made
is not a world of born-pity poor flesh
and trees,poor stars and stones,but never this
fine specimen of hypermagical
ultraomnipotence. We doctors know
a hopeless case if-listen:there's a hell
of a good universe next door;let's go

- e. e. cummings

"My girlfriend loves everything about me.......but when I stare at the girls as if I'm free"
Dengue Fever merge 60s surf-rock, psychedilia and native Cambodian beats to wonderful effect. Great band...fun song.

Oh, The Places You'll Go----at Burning Man




Congratulations!
Today is your day.
You're off to Great Places!
You're off and away!

You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself
any direction you choose.
You're on your own. And you know what you know.
And YOU are the guy who'll decide where to go.

You'll look up and down streets. Look 'em over with care.
About some you will say, "I don't choose to go there."
With your head full of brains and your shoes full of feet,
you're too smart to go down any not-so-good street.

And you may not find any
you'll want to go down.
In that case, of course,
you'll head straight out of town.

It's opener there
in the wide open air.

Out there things can happen
and frequently do
to people as brainy
and footsy as you.

And then things start to happen,
don't worry. Don't stew.
Just go right along.
You'll start happening too.

OH!
THE PLACES YOU'LL GO!

You'll be on y our way up!
You'll be seeing great sights!
You'll join the high fliers
who soar to high heights.

You won't lag behind, because you'll have the speed.
You'll pass the whole gang and you'll soon take the lead.
Wherever you fly, you'll be best of the best.
Wherever you go, you will top all the rest.

Except when you don't.
Because, sometimes, you won't.

I'm sorry to say so
but, sadly, it's true
that Bang-ups
and Hang-ups
can happen to you.

You can get all hung up
in a prickle-ly perch.
And your gang will fly on.
You'll be left in a Lurch.

You'll come down from the Lurch
with an unpleasant bump.
And the chances are, then,
that you'll be in a Slump.

And when you're in a Slump,
you're not in for much fun.
Un-slumping yourself
is not easily done.

You will come to a place where the streets are not marked.
Some windows are lighted. But mostly they're darked.
A place you could sprain both your elbow and chin!
Do you dare to stay out? Do you dare to go in?
How much can you lose? How much can you win?

And IF you go in, should you turn left or right...
or right-and-three-quarters? Or, maybe, not quite?
Or go around back and sneak in from behind?
Simple it's not, I'm afraid you will find,
for a mind-maker-upper to make up his mind.

You can get so confused
that you'll start in to race
down long wiggled roads at a break-necking pace
and grind on for miles cross weirdish wild space,
headed, I fear, toward a most useless place.
The Waiting Place...

...for people just waiting.
Waiting for a train to go
or a bus to come, or a plane to go
or the mail to come, or the rain to go
or the phone to ring, or the snow to snow
or the waiting around for a Yes or No
or waiting for their hair to grow.
Everyone is just waiting.

Waiting for the fish to bite
or waiting for the wind to fly a kite
or waiting around for Friday night
or waiting, perhaps, for their Uncle Jake
or a pot to boil, or a Better Break
or a string of pearls, or a pair of pants
or a wig with curls, or Another Chance.
Everyone is just waiting.

NO!
That's not for you!

Somehow you'll escape
all that waiting and staying
You'll find the bright places
where Boom Bands are playing.

With banner flip-flapping,
once more you'll ride high!
Ready for anything under the sky.
Ready because you're that kind of a guy!

Oh, the places you'll go! There is fun to be done!
There are points to be scored. There are games to be won.
And the magical things you can do with that ball
will make you the winning-est winner of all.
Fame! You'll be as famous as famous can be,
with the whole wide world watching you win on TV.

Except when they don't
Because, sometimes they won't.

I'm afraid that some times
you'll play lonely games too.
Games you can't win
'cause you'll play against you.

All Alone!
Whether you like it or not,
Alone will be something
you'll be quite a lot.

And when you're alone, there's a very good chance
you'll meet things that scare you right out of your pants.
There are some, down the road between hither and yon,
that can scare you so much you won't want to go on.

But on you will go
though the weather be foul.
On you will go
though your enemies prowl.
On you will go
though the Hakken-Kraks howl.
Onward up many
a frightening creek,
though your arms may get sore
and your sneakers may leak.

On and on you will hike,
And I know you'll hike far
and face up to your problems
whatever they are.

You'll get mixed up, of course,
as you already know.
You'll get mixed up
with many strange birds as you go.
So be sure when you step.
Step with care and great tact
and remember that Life's
a Great Balancing Act.
Just never foget to be dexterous and deft.
And never mix up your right foot with your left.

And will you succeed?
Yes! You will, indeed!
(98 and 3/4 percent guaranteed.)

KID, YOU'LL MOVE MOUNTAINS!

So...
be your name Buxbaum or Bixby or Bray
or Mordecai Ali Van Allen O'Shea,
You're off the Great Places!
Today is your day!
Your mountain is waiting.
So...get on your way!

"Good Will Hunting" Scene



I wish I was smarter......A great scene from one of my favorite movies.

Steely Dan "Show Biz Kids"


My favorite Steely Dan song. Amazing slide guitar by Rick Derringer.

CHORUS:
While the poor people sleepin'
With the shade on the light
While the poor people sleepin'
All the stars come out at night
After closing time
At the Guernsey Fair
I detect the El Supremo
From the room at the top of the stairs
Well I've been around the world
And I've been in the Washington Zoo
And in all my travels
As the facts unravel
I've found this to be true

CHORUS

They got the house on the corner
With the rug inside
They got the booze they need
All that money can buy
They got the shapely bods
They got the Steely Dan T-shirt
And for the coup-de-gras
They're outrageous

CHORUS

Show biz kids making movies
Of themselves you know they
Don't give a fuck about anybody else

CHORUS
