    Subsurface ocean, Europa
    ~Atlas Air~

    Head in the sand, feet in the clay
    And time is still like grease it slips
    Sucking in, spitting pips, yeah, spitting pips

    Massive Attack, unintentionally I think, on the fabric of spacetime; how the less you travel through space the more you travel through time. This is why space & time are effectively interchangeable, & fundamentally the same thing - a single interwoven continuum - spacetime - known mathematically as Minkowski Space.

    Not only does the wristwatch of the dude with his head in the sand & his feet in the clay slip & tick faster than the observers moving around him, his metabolism, his thoughts, his synaptic firing rate, everything within his stationary (again, "stationary" is a relative concept. At a complete standstill he remains anchored to the Earth & its orbital velocity of 30 km/s. Earth orbits the Sun, which travels at 70,000km/h around the Milky Way's common center of mass & the Milky Way, which is part of out local group, travels at 2 billion km/h - relative, of course, to the cosmic microwave background) body has sped up - not that he would notice, as his velocity through time is relative only to the differing velocities of his observers & those he's observing.

    Listen to music, learn physics.

    (Also, eat rambutans. Because delicious)

    Subsurface ocean, Europa
    ~Fleet Foxes - Mykonos~

    The door slammed loud and rose up a cloud of dust on us
    Footsteps follow, down through the hollow sound, torn up

    And you will go to Mykonos
    With a vision of a gentle coast
    And a sun to maybe dissipate
    Shadows of the mess you made


    Excellent live band, too

    One of the best songs ever written and recorded. Just my humble opinion of course as a die-hard Beatles fan. ;)

    Let It Be ~ The Beatles

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d05rcD_hoQo

    When I find myself in times of trouble
    Mother Mary comes to me
    Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

    And in my hour of darkness
    She is standing right in front of me
    Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

    Let it be, let it be
    Let it be, let it be
    Whisper words of wisdom
    Let it be

    When all the brokenhearted people
    Living in the world agree
    There will be an answer, let it be

    For though they may be parted
    There is still a chance that they will see
    There will be an answer, let it be

    Let it be, let it be
    Let it be, let it be
    Yeah, there will be an answer let it be

    Let it be, let it be
    Let it be, let it be
    Whisper words of wisdom
    Let it be

    Let it be, let it be
    Let it be, yeah, let it be
    Whisper words of wisdom
    Let it be

    And when the night is cloudy
    There is still a light that shines on me
    Shine on until tomorrow, let it be

    I wake up to the sound of music
    Mother Mary comes to me
    There will be no sorrow, let it be

    Yeah, let it be, let it be
    Let it be, yeah, let it be
    There will be no sorrow, let it be

    Let it be, let it be
    Let it be, yeah, let it be
    Whisper words of wisdom
    Let it be

    Oh let the sun beat down upon my face, stars to fill my dream
    I am a traveler of both time and space, to be where I have been
    To sit with elders of the gentle race, this world has seldom seen
    They talk of days for which they sit and wait and all will be revealed
     
  7. We're no strangers to love
    You know the rules and so do I
    A full commitment's what's I'm thinking of
    You wouldn't get this from any other guy

    I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
    Gotta make you understand

    Never gonna give you up
    Never gonna let you down
    Never gonna run around and desert you
    Never gonna make you cry
    Never gonna say goodbye
    Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

    We've know each other for so long
    Your heart's been aching
    But you're too shy to say it
    Inside we both know what's been going on
    We know the game and we're gonna play it


    And if you ask me how I'm feeling
    Don't tell me you're too blind to see

    And did those feet in ancient time
    Walk upon England's mountains green?
    And was the holy Lamb of God
    On England's pleasant pastures seen?

    And did the countenance divine
    Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
    And was Jerusalem builded here
    Among these dark satanic mills?

    Bring me my bow of burning gold
    Bring me my arrows of desire
    Bring me my spear, O clouds unfold
    Bring me my chariot of fire

    I will not cease from mental fight
    Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
    'Til we have built Jerusalem
    In England's green and pleasant land

    Best Day Of My Life ~ American Authors

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y66j_BUCBMY

    (Ooh, Ooh-Ooh, Ooh)

    I had a dream so big and loud
    I jumped so high I touched the clouds
    Whoa-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh (Whoa-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh)

    I stretched my hands out to the sky
    We danced with monsters through the night
    Whoa-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh (Whoa-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh)

    I'm never gonna look back, Whoa-Oh
    Never gonna give it up, No-Oh
    Please don't wake me now

    (Ooh, Ooh-Ooh, Ooh)
    This is gonna be the best day of my life
    (Ooh, Ooh-Ooh, Ooh) My li-i-i-i-i-i-ife

    (Ooh, Ooh-Ooh, Ooh)
    This is gonna be the best day of my life
    (Ooh, Ooh-Ooh, Ooh) My li-i-i-i-i-i-ife

    (Ooh, Ooh-Ooh, Ooh) Whoo
    (Ooh, Ooh-Ooh, Ooh)

    I howled at the moon with friends
    And then the sun came crashing in
    Whoa-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh (Whoa-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh)

    But all the possibilities
    No limits just epiphanies
    Whoa-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh (Whoa-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh)

    I'm never gonna look back, Whoa-Oh
    Never gonna give it up, No-Oh
    Just don't wake me now

    (Ooh, Ooh-Ooh, Ooh)
    This is gonna be the best day of my life
    (Ooh, Ooh-Ooh, Ooh) My li-i-i-i-i-i-ife

    (Ooh, Ooh-Ooh, Ooh)
    This is gonna be the best day of my life
    (Ooh, Ooh-Ooh, Ooh) My li-i-i-i-i-i-ife

    (Ooh, Ooh-Ooh, Ooh)
    (Ooh, Ooh-Ooh, Ooh)

    I hear it calling
    Outside my window
    I feel it in my soul (Soul)

    The stars were burning so bright
    The sun was out 'till midnight
    I say we lose control (Control)

    (Ooh, Ooh-Ooh, Ooh)

    (Ooh, Ooh-Ooh, Ooh)
    This is gonna be the best day of my life
    (Ooh, Ooh-Ooh, Ooh) My li-i-i-i-i-i-ife

    (Ooh, Ooh-Ooh, Ooh)
    This is gonna be the best day of my life
    (Ooh, Ooh-Ooh, Ooh) My li-i-i-i-i-i-ife

    (Ooh, Ooh-Ooh, Ooh) This is gonna be, this is gonna be
    This is gonna be, the best day of my life (Ooh, Ooh-Ooh, Ooh)
    Everything is looking up, everybody up now

    (Ooh, Ooh-Ooh, Ooh)
    This is gonna be the best day of my liife
    (Ooh, Ooh-Ooh, Ooh) My li-i-i-i-i-ife

    Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
    And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honnah Lee
    Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal Puff
    And brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff, oh

    Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
    And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Hanalei
    Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
    And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Hanalei

    Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail
    Jackie kept a lookout perched on Puff's gigantic tail
    Noble kings and princes would bow whene'er they came
    Pirate ships would lower their flags when Puff roared out his name, oh

    Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
    And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Hanalei
    Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
    And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee

    A dragon lives forever but not so little boys
    Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys
    One gray night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more
    And Puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar

    His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain
    Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane
    Without his life-long friend, Puff could not be brave
    So Puff that mighty dragon sadly slipped into his cave, oh

    Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
    And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Hanalei
    Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
    And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Hanalei

    I keep your picture
    Upon the wall
    It hides a nasty stain that's lying there
    So don't you ask me
    To give it back
    I know you know it doesn't mean that much to me
    I'm not in love, no no, it's because.

    btw, Guardians of the Galaxy is great

    Stop the World and Let Me Off

    Stop the world and let me off
    I'm tired of going round and round
    I've played the game of love
    And lost so stop the world and let me off
    My dreams are shattered
    Don't you see now you no longer care for me
    I miss the wonder of your kiss
    How could you leave me here like this
    Stop the world and let me off
    I'm tired of going round and round
    I've played the game of love
    And lost so stop the world and let me off
    Stop the world and let me off
    I'm tired of going round and round
    I've played the game of love
    And lost so stop the world and let me off
     

  16. Love this!

    Catch the mist
    Catch the myth
    Catch the mystery
    Catch the drift


    - Tom Sawyer by Rush -​

    Life's like a road that you travel on
    When there's one day here and the next day gone
    Sometimes you bend, sometimes you stand
    Sometimes you turn your back to the wind

    There's a world outside every darkened door
    Where blues won't haunt you anymore
    Where the brave are free and lovers soar
    Come ride with me to the distant shore

    We won't hesitate break down the garden gate
    There's not much left today

    Life is a highway
    I want to ride it all night long
    If you're going my way
    I want to drive it all night long

    Through all the cities and all these towns
    It's in my blood and it's all around
    I love you now like I loved you then
    This is the road and these are the hands

    From Mozambique to those Memphis nights
    The Khyber Pass to Vancouver's lights
    Knock me down get back up again
    You're in my blood I'm not a lonely man

    There's no load I can't hold
    Road so rough this I know
    I'll bee there when the light comes in
    Tell 'em we're survivors

    Life is a highway
    I want to ride it all night long
    If you're going my way
    I want to drive it all night long

    Life is a highway
    I want to ride it all night long
    If you're going my way
    I want to drive it all night long

    There was a distance between you and I
    A misunderstanding once but now
    We look it in the eye

    There's no load, I can't hold
    Road so rough this I know
    I'll be there when the light comes in
    Tell 'em we're survivors

    Life is a highway
    I want to ride it all night long
    If you're going my way
    I want to drive it all night long

    Life is a highway
    I want to ride it all night long
    If you're going my way
    I want to drive it all night long

    Life is a highway
    I want to ride it all night long
    If you're going my way
    I want to drive it all night long
