so, just thinking, and thinking. i had a 3 hour long return trip in the car for a meeting.
last night i was listening to viv white a JS doing freeworld and 225 and set about creating a short playlist for the trip. its a subset of a 187 song playlist i created in 2007. no songs released by anyone since then are included. but it does include my favs ever songs with no exception apart from the bowie and floyd stuff.
starting with freeworld because it is such a homage to an attitude that confronted the ruling class at a time when to do so was sacrilegious and allowed them to demonise everything humanity stands for
then 225. just resonates.
it then went
you weren't there - because you weren't but so many of us have been "there" and that should be respected. always. experience is lost. its the most valuable thing we have. it is the secret sauce of a better future yet corporations are spilling it everywhere for profits. pricks
better than them - i remember deck telling me that this was about sick opinionated fuckers who want to be elitist in a cesspool mocking their peers for their own satisfaction. i used to sing it with such enthusiasm that deck thought i was being elitist. i just like the chorus. because you know, us people are better than them, if them are "them" are people who inflict the consequence of their ambitions on others
orange tree roads - for cliff
fate - stunning beyond imagination
someone like jesus - well, the corner in our lives are not just a corner
flying through the smoke - best song to start a gig ever.
i love the world - because i obviously do. why else would i still be here?
stupid questions - well?
white coats - well what?
here comes the war - well there you have it.
snelsmore wood - to standout on the album with the best 4 songs to start an album ever. must have
green and grey - cork, arches, nma. andh asthma, and jules and mary and drumsticks
51st state - the whole world is the 51st state......
but, coz, if they truly are bad people, if they are truly not nice, and if they truly identify people susceptible to the extraordinary powers they possess as psychopaths, then we should get the bastards every time
and after all and in light to the troubles of the world and their causes in the preceding stunning social commentary in these songs, then, how could i not finish it all off with vengeance
arm out the window, fist in the air, slappin' the thigh, and givin' it loads
