Stay with me tonight.
"Well, I
Don't wanna be no soldier mama
I don't wanna die" - John Lennon.



Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one


I watched something earlier.. People say, myself included, that art isnt real.. it evokes emotion.. later the emotion is gone.. how is that real? Music is a drug, they say. It's an illusion. It's a lie. Perhaps its all just chemicals. I'm thinking it's not. Maybe in the long run, that's true.. but for that moment, for whatever those minutes are, its as real as anything else we're capable of feeling. You're on top of the world and everything in the world is perfect. Idealistically, I'd like to think.. it's a hold over until we find what we're looking for. What if we never find it? If we did, life would be boring. For humans, love is as near as we're going to get. What's the point if we dont have all those "high" moments in between? Love seems to be the only reason we are here. Maybe love is what it's all about.

I probably haven't listened to this CD since I was 16. It's striking just the right chord right now. How did I pick it out and know it was going to? Maybe "I Can Only Disappoint U" is just a song. Nevertheless I feel pretty good at the moment. I feel relaxed and it's brought me back from the anti-euphoria I was feeling earlier.. ah well, I've made enough non-sense for this post.

"How can I feel love if I just don't know how to feel?"

that song, Imagine, i sang it for choir last year. crazy stuff. it's a great, great song, though.

maybe you're right. maybe love is what it's all about. or maybe it's just something unforseen, until you find it. -nods- yea, maybe it's just one of those things that you don't know until you reach it.

..then, everything becomes clear.

Your right, Lennons music is very calming. Almost like listening to that whale crap. You wouldn't think it would work well, but it does.

Art isn't real because the emotions it envokes change.....so nothing is real?


"While my painting is but a fragment of my cosmogony, it is the most significant expression of my truth. Decipher! Decipher! Then you will experience the vertigo of the human absolute."


McCartney and Lennon, methinks not.

A drug; something that changes the way a person would normally operate.

It's just an idea, not something I feel I could explain well.

So who indeed is that quote from?

And, do you understand it?

The quote is from Mr Salvador Dali.

Basically the guy got a lot of criticism as people saw him as blasphamous, and generally trying to cause outrage for publicity (Damien Hirst was taking notes at the time)

To me, that quote is just the guy saying that people need to see past their own petty opinions and realise that that's what he can create from his own mind i.e. the mind is capable of creating these amazing visuals. That is the truth, and as such it cannot be criticised as it's innate, intrinsic and all that bollocks.

Meh, i can't be getting into it at the moment. It makes sense in my head, my head is my universe, DECIPHER! DECIPHER! etc....
