… we made our own computer out of macaroni pieces
And it did our thinking while we lived our lives
It counted up our feelings
And divided them up even
And it called that calculation perfect love
Didn’t even know that love was bigger
Didn’t even know
That love was so, so …
So we made the hard decision
And we each made an incision
Past our muscles and our bones
Saw our hearts were little stones
Pulled ’em out they weren’t beating
And we weren’t even bleeding
As we lay ’em on the granite counter top
We beat ’em up
Against each other
We beat ’em up
Against each other
We struck ’em hard
Against each other
We struck ’em so hard
So hard until they sparked
Hey this fire it’s burnin’
Burnin’ us up
______
But we didn’t mind
We didn’t know better

“Little Boxes” is a song written by Malvina Reynolds in 1962 that lampoons the development of suburbia and what many consider its bourgeois conformist values. (source)
And the people in the houses
All went to the university
Where they were put in boxes
And they all came out the same

Regina Spektor singing “Little Boxes” for the ‘Weeds’ intro
Based in Houston, fingerstyle guitarist Mark McCain and Houston Grand Opera Cellist Erika Johnson have brought their diverse talents together to create what some industry notables are calling “…timeless music that will last for decades in people’s music collections…” With music ranging from modern classical, to Celtic, to bluegrass and jazz. This two-some has quickly become one of the most creative and versatile duos of their day. “If you enjoy the music of artists like Phil Keaggy, Tommy Emmanuel, or Yo Yo Ma, you are sure to love Touch the Strings.”

Playing For Change: Peace Through Music
Love rescue me
Come forth and speak to me
Raise me up and don’t let me fall
No man is my enemy
My own hands imprison me
Love rescue me
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1ohx398P7I]
“Love Rescue Me” is the eleventh track from U2’s 1988 album, Rattle and Hum. Sung by The Omagh Community Youth Choir (formed in October 1998 in the wake of the Omagh Bomb atrocity of August 15th 1998, Ireland) for a journey named Playing For Change, a multimedia movement to inspire, connect, and bring peace to the world through music.
Poor audio, but you get the idea. This is the DVD to get for the real experience: Yes 9012 Live (1985)

This is another of those incredible repeatables which I really have put on ‘repeat 1’ on my CD player for an hour +. It sets the mood.
Great soundtrack by Trevor Rabin, who was also fabulous in the group YES’ 90125 tour — It Can Happen!!!
Which is where I got the idea for how to name my inner-freedom site: ONEcanhappen.

“Everybody talks about a new world in the morning. A new world in the morning so they say.
I, myself don’t talk about a new world in the morning. A new world in the morning, that’s today.
And I can feel a new tomorrow comin’ on…”

Mexican Whistler (Live version 2006)
I just visited Rodney Lough, Jr.’s galleries in San Fransisco and Sausalito. He also has galleries in Minneapolis and Portland.
My current favorite photo is the eighth one in this video (two photos after the Tetons image), called Canyon Song. The $4000, 24 x 40 inch version is like paradise! [pdf of article that includes this gorgeous photo!]
His backpack weighs over 100 pounds when he’s out for multiple days, as he shoots an 8 x 10 view camera, so the prints are tack-sharp even when picture window size.
So imagine what these beautiful images look like in high definition, totally sharp and in gorgeous color!

http://playingforchange.com – From the award-winning documentary, “Playing For Change: Peace Through Music”, comes the first of many “songs around the world” being released independently. Featured is a cover of the Ben E. King classic by musicians around the world adding their part to the song as it travelled the globe.
“I am so thrilled because I know everyone was against you. We are all so cynical, but that was a complete wake up call. It was a complete privilege.”

A star is born!
The audience were on their feet and cheering by the time 47 year-old Susan Boyle had finished singing.
The unassuming, currently unemployed lady from West Lothian near Edinburgh had looked shy and a little out of place as she stepped on stage.
There were even smirks on the judges’ faces when she told them, “I am trying to be a professional singer. I’ve never been given a chance before but hopefully that will change”.
Then Susan, who has ambitions to sing on stage like Elaine Paige, launched into the West End anthem I Dreamed a Dream from Les Miserables.
And the look of shock and awe on Simon Cowell’s face as he did a double-take at her talent was worth a million pounds in itself. As Simon recovered, Piers and Amanda were giving Susan a standing ovation.
Piers told her, “Without a doubt that was the biggest surprise I have had in three years. When you stood there with that cheeky grin and said ‘I want to be like Elaine Paige’ everyone was laughing at you. No-one is laughing now, that was stunning. I am reeling from shock”.
Amanda agreed. “I am so thrilled because I know everyone was against you. We are all so cynical but that was a complete wake up call. It was a complete privilege“.

This is the opening track in U2’s latest album of this same name: “No Line in the Horizon.”
Bono described in this interview the meaning behind the title. He and Edge live in Killiney Bay, from where they watch the moment when the sea and the sky become one color—and it looks like the horizon just goes on to infinity, “no end in sight.”

I was born to sing for you
I didn’t have a choice but to lift you up
And sing whatever song you wanted me to
I give you back my voice
From the womb my first cry, it was a joyful noise
Only love, only love can leave such a mark
But only love, only love can heal such a scar

This footage was shot using old, analog 8mm video media, so it’s a bit low-res. The audio is ok.
Tell me why on the corner
all the kids that used to come to run here,
load their guns here
And tell me why it’s okay
to kill in the name of the gods we pray
Tell me who said it’s okay
to die in the name of the lies we say

Jesse Colin Young’s Ridgetop thrilled me each time I would hear it during my KQRS-listening high school/college days, the 70’s.
Last week, I was greatly blessed to hear spiritual depth in some of his recently recorded Christmas music on Pandora. Then I found this! Jesse is still a peacemaker!!!
Jesse Colin Young plays and talks about Get Together, and his new song, Bring ‘Em Home. His wife, Connie, plays violin.

1967: The Youngbloods (RCA) – re-released as Get Together in 1971
………………………
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4GjhuzMNEY]In this short, Get Together interview, Jesse says,
“It’s about love.”
And conversely,
it’s been too much about ‘fear‘:
Love is but a song to sing
Fear‘s the way we die
You can make the mountains ring
Or make the angels cry …
Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
Right now
You hold the key to love and fear
All in your trembling hand
Just one key unlocks them both
Its there at your command
Loving everyone perfectly is the key to lock out fear, because only “perfect love casts out fear.” We have to turn the key all the way to the right! Then our hands will no longer tremble.
America heard this truth in the ’60s. May we realize it 40 years later. Let’s make the mountains ring!
