Neon-pink/orange-'n'-leopard-spots is the new black


If you listen to the Abyss shriek, the Abyss also listens to you -- the bestest-ever SFX evocation
of the tragic, wild heart-cry of inconsolable cosmic loneliness underlying the most terribly monstrous
perversion of love's positive potential


Oncoming mechanical colossus emits characteristic abyssal shriek to bloodcurdle all you would-be hoboes

 

"Dreams" -- Stevie Nicks, from Fleetwood Mac's album Rumours (1977)

Now here you go again, you say you want your freedom
Well, who am I to keep you down?
It's only right that you should play the way you feel it
But listen carefully to the sound of your loneliness
Like a heartbeat drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering what you had
And what you lost. . .
And what you had[font=Arial, sans-serif]. . .[/font]
And what you lost

Thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing
Say, women they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean you'll know, you'll know

Now here I go again I see the crystal visions
I keep my visions to myself
It's only me who wants to wrap around your dreams and[font=Arial, sans-serif]. . .[/font]
Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?

Dreams of loneliness
Like a heartbeat drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering what you had
And what you lost. . .
And what you had. . .
And what you lost

Thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing
Women they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean you'll know

Thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing
Say women they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean you'll know, you'll know[font=Arial, sans-serif]. . .[/font]
You will know[font=Arial, sans-serif]. . .[/font]
Oh, you'll know

"Masseduction" -- Annie Erin Clark, from her album (as St. Vincent) Masseduction (2017)
[The song's intro samples the Japanese album's bonus track “Power Corrupts” (政権の腐敗 Seiken no fuhai)]

Black saint, sinner lady, playin' knock-off soul
A punk rock romantic slumped on the kitchen floor
Nuns in stress positions, smokin' Marlboros
Lolita is weeping, "The bride is beautiful. . ." *

Masseduction
Masseduction
I can't turn off what turns me on

I can't turn off what turns me on

I hold you like a weapon
Mass destruction

Drinkin' manic panic

젊은 한국인 서양 재즈 음악 접근법 :

[Young Korean Western Jazz Music Approach]

Recorded in 1963, right after President Kennedy’s assassination and the very night the singer Bobby Hebb's brother was
killed in Memphis, "Sunny" was eventually released in 1966, whereupon it reached #2 in the U.S. charts. It's reckoned
by BMI to be one of the top 100 popular songs of the 20th century, coming in at #25. Extensively covered in jazz, funk,
rock, and other genres, it has become a standard of the great American songbook.


 [ca. 1965, Mme Mary Wells (best known for her 1964
hit cover of Smokey Robinson's "My Guy") with a little-known British band whilst touring the U.K. as their opening act;
these Liverpudlian unknowns, now lost in obscurity, considered her their favourite American pop singer]



Mme Jess Lewis is a wonderful bassist who on the side is a better guitar-player/composer than most full-timers of axology:


Guitar superstar J. Beck (not the later upstart Beck of "I'm A Loser, Baby" fame), one of the ugliest rockers ever, is no fool
when it comes to hiring talent for his band:


I remember seeing this ecstatic face on a priestess of Isis submerged in bliss during the height of her invocations:


Mlle Laura Cox is an accomplished professional player of contemporary guitar stylings, which she presents 
with a certain brio:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkBvmv8kt4U

Mlle Samantha Fish is a top-flight blueser, having a leg up in the old je ne sais quois on many other such performers:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wDdbOx7Nt8

Feel free to explore the oeuvre of Mlle Jesse Greenburg, whom one appreciative commenter mischievously
characterizes as "a mix of Jessica Rabbit and Megan Fox":
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DACTFvfD5aw

For typical hyper-busy machismo-fuelled male playing, sonically conquering abstract turf, see this cover of 
"Sunny" by Greg Howe:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edVbz_uXJd0  



Sunny, thank you for the smile upon your face
Sunny, thank you, thank you for the gleam that shows its grace
You're my spark of nature's fire
You're my sweet complete desire
Sunny one so true, I love you


THE LIGHT
In awe we know Ra’s Splendor
Drinking in His luminous beauty
Know oh child of man to walk upright
He will illuminate your path to salvation
Or illustrate your destruction
Abandon thy self-imposed darkness 
Enlightenment He consigns freely
Denying the truth of the Divine
Brings madness as thy companion
Let the disdain fall from thy shoulders
Cloak yourself in Ma’at and be made whole
The light is always there as is the path
~~Thy Daughter,  A. Green-Muilenburg

But what about the sun itself?






https://www.spaceanswers.com/deep-space/...ll-of-air/

"Our Sun, if it could be heard through the vacuum of space, vibrates with a song of many frequencies similar to the ringing of cathedral bells that are each hitting at different notes.

However, at a distance of 92,957,130 miles from the Sun, things start to change and the monstrous sound of our star doesn’t seem that loud at all. Sound intensity decreases with distance, which means that the Sun would deliver a much smaller 125 decibels to the surface of our planet. In comparison, 120 decibels is a train horn about one metre away whereas 130 decibels is physical pain."

https://www.techly.com.au/2015/04/30/how...d-hear-it/


"DeForest: In terms of dBA, if all that leaked sound could somehow propagate to Earth, well let’s see… Sunlight at Earth is attenuated about 10,000 times by distance (i.e. it’s 10,000 times brighter at the surface of the Sun), so if 200 W/m² of sound at the Sun could somehow propagate out to Earth it would yield a sound intensity of about 20 mW/m².

0dB is about 1pW/m², so that’s about 100dB. At Earth, some 150,000,000 kilometers from the sound source. Good thing sound doesn’t travel through space, eh?"


"...100 decibels is something like what a chain saw, jackhammer, tractor or a noisy subway sounds like at about five metres away. Eight hours of listening to this would cause hearing loss."

. . . And if "ifs" and "buts" were candy & nuts
      We'd all have a Merry Christmas!

Alas [or do I mean "luckily"?], Cyanatta, old top, space is chock-full of. . . nuthin'. 



Well, nuthin' but a little dust here & there -- and Light, of course. . . 

Oh, and the odd bit of timespace floating about matrixically hither & thither: now hither, now thither. And thencewards.

Of course, the titanic Sun -- the mighty cosmic force it represents -- is quite capable of communicating in other ways with little 
lost-in-space dust-specks like us -- without immolating us. . . using the medium of the Heart (which is scale/density-transcendent 
as a receiver/transmitter antenna, and all about being open!





This golden numinous fluency is as opposed to the typically chaotic signals-processing system used by unregenerate Earthlings 
amongst themselves to gum up the comms:



What the Sun sang:

[sunnysideup]

[Simchah Sason]

I'm a Wanderer. Yeah, I'm a Wanderer - and I go around, around around ...

... It's a decent rock song, and quite appropos as well - though I imagine the lyrics are really more appropriate for a STS wanderer. Still, it was a pleasant discovery!

Came across this amazing bit of cinema, from Broadway Rhythm (1944) -- its color-values and general surreality 
somehow give it the aura of a peek into some numinous astral realm populated by houris eternally doing their 
enigmatic sacred-song-and-dance-and-gymnastics routines for the Greater Glory of the One Infinite Creator:




Of course, this being the dank bardo known as the Internetzial Plane, there is of course. . . a parallel-reality version:

 

When will someone make one of those "Wednesday-Addams-dances" vids with this song as the music Thing puts on the Victrola?:

[video: Françoise Hardy, "Tous Les Garçons Et Les Filles" (1962)]

Cyanatta, I've been meaning to reply to your posting -- Mme H. is a favourite of mine now in the late phase of our life-careers. 
To the French she's always iconically been their Joni Mitchell (mixed more than somewhat with their Lesley Gore -- she of "It's My Party" 
and other hits fame). 

You ain't the boss o' her:
[video=youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDUjeR01wnU [/video]

(That's the type of song that would nowadays need to be covered semi-surrealistically by someone like St. Vincent to bring out the 
ancient inner nuances in E-Z Modern Terms.)

Ca. 1966: Cherilyn Sarkisian ("Chér") -- her second hit single, "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)":


Ca. 2007, Annie Clark ("St. Vincent") -- her unreleased Love-'n'-Murder-themed ["I get those two confused!"] fantasia based
on the above song (with a crucial reversal in the storyline as to just who gets bang-banged):


I was going to confect a brilliant introductory musical tribute to Mme H. after seeing a write-up of her & her latest album in the 
New York Times a few weeks back*, but this noble aim got lost in the shuffle of operating my transnational sonical-psywar
syndicate** and bar-&-grille, but by an interesting synchronism, out of the blue (hors du bleu), you posted her first hit song
from the early de Gaulle Administration era! (Or, peut être, is it that you read NYT too? I shouldn't; it's mostly an STS-
War-Party propaganda rag fit for bird-cage-lining or fish-wrapping, but the occasional Arts & Sciences bits are often fairly undistorted
and informative.)

** See https://www.bring4th.org/forums/showthre...#pid241273 for a candid whistle-blowing vid of me
hard at work in my secret HQ nerve-center, subverting the masses via weaponized high-tech communications media

She's faced down cancer in the past few years, and naturally (what with simply growing older and wiser in general) has become a
bit philosophical about Life 'n' Love 'n' Death 'n' other such Interesting Topics in her art, quite beautifully & wisely so, in my opinion.

Tant De Belles Choises / So Many Beautiful Choices
lyrics by F. Hardy

même s'il me faut lâcher ta main                          so many beautiful choices
sans pouvoir te dire "à demain"                            without being able to say "see you tomorrow"
rien ne défera jamais nos liens...                          nothing will ever undo our bonds ...
même s'il me faut aller plus loin                           even if I have to go further
couper des ponts, changer de train                               cut bridges, change trains
l'amour est plus fort que le chagrin...                             love is stronger than sorrow ...
l''amour qui fait battre nos coeurs                                  the love that makes our hearts beat
va sublimer cette douleur                                             will sublimate this pain
transformer le plomb en or                                           turn lead into gold
tu as tant de belles choses à vivre encore...                  you have so many beautiful things to live again... 
tu verras au bout du tunnel                                 you will see at the end of the tunnel
se dessiner un arc-en-ciel                                    to draw a rainbow
et refleurir les lilas                                              and bloom the lilacs
tu as tant de belles choses devant toi...                you have so many beautiful things in front of you ...

même si je veille d'une autre rive                        even if I watch from another shore
quoi que tu fasses, quoi qu'il t'arrive                   whatever you do, whatever happens to you
je serai avec toi comme autrefois...                     I will be with you as before ...
même si tu pars à la dérive                                even if you are drifting
l'état de grâce, les forces vives                           the state of grace, the forces of life
reviendront plus vite que tu ne crois...                 will come back faster than you think ...
dans l'espace qui lie ciel et terre                          in the space that binds heaven and earth
se cache le plus grand des mystères                    hides the greatest mystery
comme la brume voilant l'aurore                          like the haze veiling the dawn
il y a tant de belles choses que tu ignores             there are so many beautiful things that you ignore   
la foi qui abat les montagnes                               the faith that abates the mountains
la source blanche dans ton âme                           the pure spring in your soul
penses-y quand tu t'endors                                 think about it when you fall asleep
l'amour est plus fort que la mort...                       Love is stronger than death...

dans le temps qui lie ciel et terre                          in the time that binds heaven and earth
se cache le plus beau des mystères                      is hiding the most beautiful mysteries
penses-y quand tu t'endors                                  think about it when you fall asleep
l'amour est plus fort que la mort...                        Love is stronger than death...




Ca. 2018, from her album Personne D'Autre [Nobody Else] -- en Anglais:


I will fly all the way
Just to say I'm home
And I'll try to pretend
I'm not sad then and now
I will fly just to say
It is you you're my home
Think of times that we spent
When we were so in love

I would fight everyday
Just to show you i am strong
And I will try to pretend
That there is nothing wrong
With each day that will pass
I will go in my own way
I just want you to know
How I miss you today

When I feel that the rain
Is turning to a storm
Want to jump on the plane
Back to where you belong
See just how I remain

Deep inside in my soul
Knowing I'm not insane
A little lost and that's all
If I don't stay too long
If I have to go on
Understand that your love
Is what makes me hold on
With each day that will pass
I will go with no fear
I just want you to know
That you'll always be near
