Everything Else / Re: I Love The World for Hopeless Causes

A bit of explaining the background:

I got a new job in September last year as a chef in a house for elderly people. Owned by a big company already with bad reputation. I was there for the money and because i immediately had a good relationship with the house management, from human to human, so i thought to myself i just do my best under the circumstances. The circumstances are absolutely not my personal ideas of a healthy catering, but for mainstream habits they were normal. Too much sugar, convenience products and a hard calculation of what to spent on a person per day. Then there were problems with my boss in that department, a chef who had to buy the stuff and do the menues and he left me alone from day one. I had to figure everything out, improviesed a lot and due to his behaviour two helping crafts quit while i was working there. So i did for weeks three jobs at a time, had to do the job of the missing kitchen helpers then cook and also buy stuff and food from a supermarket nearby, 'cause the other dude just forgot and didn't care. He gave himself 5 days off, while i was alone. Whatever..then they fired him and asked me if i would do his job. I accepted, but then there was now one chef missing and i worked like 10hours a day.

But i always was backed up by the house management, encouraged and it felt good to get things done. So i also worked since the 23rd to yesterday, one day off on the 30th dez., beause i produced everything for that day the day ahead. They ordered a cook from the company for this week, so i could take these two days off.

And this morning he called me and told me, that yesterday two company men arrived, business suits and poker faces and told her to leave. Immediatley. Just like that.

So that's why I did nothing wrong was playing in my head, for her.
I know that this is about another topic but it also describes the brutal cold descisions made on pure numbers and statistics by those dumb soulless a**holes And oh, the numbers game and the losers to take the blame and she has become a victim of that.

So i directly applied for another job and next week i have a job interview.
That's the story.

I put my hands into the roaring flames
I felt the pain as it started to burn
For the lessons that we’ve learned have all been learned in the hard way
Get up early every morning just to put your make up on
And soon there’ll be nothing to deny
Face into the wind
We have energy left to burn, we still have it all to come
Face into the wind boys
There’s a long list of things for us in the glowing morning
They took me down to the Tree of Knowledge and said that I must resist
We think we are so clever killing heroes, killing magic,
And all I could think was – what kind of stupid joke is this?
Until everything that's sacred is brought down to our level
We took all the holy books and we burned them
And anyway remember that the times they are a-changing
So the gold on the coins is not real but money comes like a god
for Mammon is a jealous master, - leaves no room for any other
And money acts like a plague, then money acts like a drought
Get me out
There's a witch hunt coming, born out of all the American fears
Get me out, get me out of this place
All fueled by debt and paranoia and rivers of alcohol
There's a new purge coming, an inquisition for all of us here
We’re only fuel for them to burn, we’re only fuel for them to burn
All fueled by debt and paranoia and rivers of alcohol
No, there's nothing wrong here, nothing at all
For if our eyes got used to the darkness, we’d see the damage that we’ve done
Is this our sin?
Burn the castle
Down at the Union there we stood
And embraced like brothers should
Where arm in arm, come Abel and Cain, walking down to the sea
We become like a people listening for the bells
All just staring at the setting sun
Of a church submerged a hundred years ago
To gaze at the sun on the water
There's a city that waits under the sea

Now nothing you see out there is real,
It matters not what you believe in.
It matters less what you say but only what you are.
It matters what you are. It matters what you are.

I can play this in my head. Can you?

These lyrics, lines, words, when i read them they play in my head, with the music.
I tried a playful, associative way of just combining them with no specific intention.
An experiment.
I listen now to NMA for a long time. I could say for almost all my life.
Well, you know since those early years,
the PAST (if there is such a thing but that would be another discussion) and i see them, the songs, for me as Rock-Mantras.
Prayers if you will.
And for me it was always a conscius process to to figure out why.
Questions allowed.
So the music, the lyrics, the songs i’ve listened to soooo many times, the frequency, the vibration, the emotions have become a part of me.
And often the music just comes into my head.
I mean, out of (k)now-where.
It just pops up and then i see the other person thinking: „ok, now he will quote a nma song again..“

So, excuse me, but i have another one, i’ll post it here. For you;-)

PREYRS - Zeros, Ones & Lies (Live at Riddel's Warehouse, Belfast)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdX6RSt-3Uo&list=RDUdX6RSt-3Uo&start_radio=1

The Album is brilliant, fantastic, i totally love it. I wrote in another thread, just after i got it and had one listen, that i have to get more aquainted with it and now i would say that it is has become one of my best friends. And i love to hear it from start to finish. There were and are some favourite tunes on it which i love to play directly, but i love every song on it.

These live recordings i posted here from the Riddel's Warehouse are so good and have an even more powerful side to them, that i hope after their debut they will release a live recording. It just amazing how Amy is delivering her singing.

Here are the tourdates from March in Germany:

To date the only album that I do not enjoy is the second solo one.

All the albums that were new to me on their release (Impurity and on), all confounded me initially. Over time though, and with many listens, they reveal themselves and I find much to love.

Maybe you should listen to "Surrounded" again, because the album reveals itself after several listens and there's a lot to love! I think "Navigating by the Stars" is a magical album, and "Surrounded" is perhaps "just" an excellent album, which is already huge! I haven't listened to it all the way through in a while, but there are some really great songs on it ("Sao Paulo", "Sea Again", "Unforgiven", "1975", "Surrounded", "Stone and Heather", "Akistan"...) and actually, even though he probably won't write it, I would have loved for Justin to release a third solo album!

It's very different and not something that speaks to me.
