DR42 Resident: Sure
szavanna Resident: °͜°
szavanna Resident: ty
DR42 Resident: And you can stop at 2 minutes, please
DR42 Resident: Comes a time when the blind-man takes your hand, says don't you see? Gotta make it somehow on the dreams you still believe. Don't give it up, you got an empty cup only love can fill, Only love can fill. Been walking all morning went walking all night I can't see much difference between the dark and light And I feel the wind and I taste the rain Never in my mind to cause so much pain.
szavanna Resident: beautiful
szavanna Resident: its a bit long but lets listen to it I think
DR42 Resident: I love the imagery
DR42 Resident: I stopped at 2 minutes
szavanna Resident: its nice to listen to the words a bit more
Uns Mistwalker: their lyrics were often incredible...
DR42 Resident: From day to day just letting it ride. You get so far away from how it feels inside. You can't let go cause you're afraid to fall, But the day may come when you can't feel at all. The words come out like an angry stream. You hear yourself say things you could never mean. When you cool down you find your mind. You got a lot of words youve got to stand behind.
--BELL--
szavanna Resident: listening :)
szavanna Resident: ...
szavanna Resident: solo
Uns Mistwalker: you still with the Dead?
szavanna Resident: yes
szavanna Resident: hehe

DR42 Resident: Yes, a 12 minute cover of the Beatles "Dear Prudence"
Uns Mistwalker: mmm...

Uns Mistwalker: <-- aging DeadHead.
szavanna Resident: hehe

szavanna Resident: yes its like meditation
Uns Mistwalker: yes.....more than one I think.

DR42 Resident: Social Change.
szavanna Resident: nods
szavanna Resident: I went to their live shows
szavanna Resident: and the feel among the crowd was amazing
szavanna Resident: and in this small south african town ...people are still very divided usually
szavanna Resident: but when they got on stage ... it was quite the jive °͜°
Uns Mistwalker: so sweet. (Maude can tell you something, about the crowds at Dead concerts)
Uns Mistwalker: so very cool
Uns Mistwalker: and lyrics relate nicely to these from Maudes:
Uns Mistwalker: Comes a time when the blind-man takes your hand, says don't you see? Gotta make it somehow on the dreams you still believe. Don't give it up, you got an empty cup only love can fill, Only love can fill.
szavanna Resident: its amazing
szavanna Resident: ;))
szavanna Resident: love the lyrics
szavanna Resident: so may be next time we can dedicate a session to it
szavanna Resident: if Maude and Uns can come

Uns Mistwalker: click
DR42 Resident: Sounds like a special topic: "Monday Mourning Music"

DR42 Resident: *<orning">
szavanna Resident: In this essay, the concept of health will be explored from the perspectives of six major religious perspectives—Buddhism, Confucianism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, and Shamanism.
DR42 Resident: *Morning"
DR42 Resident: Please fix the typo in the transcript.
szavanna Resident: will do :)
szavanna Resident: brb one moment
Uns Mistwalker breathes. San, you're quiet.
Santoshima Resident: uhm
Santoshima Resident: yes
Santoshima Resident: is it my turn?
Uns Mistwalker: so I wonder whether your song was given sufficient attention.
Uns Mistwalker: I dunno about turns.
DR42 Resident: I think it set the course
Uns Mistwalker: it certainly did.
Uns Mistwalker: were you thinking about the specific issue, San....or just the need for change more generally.
szavanna Resident: back :)
Santoshima Resident: well, have a look for any recordings by kinnie starr.
Santoshima Resident: i dont' feel a strong need to discuss
Uns Mistwalker: alright. Just cheking.
DR42 Resident: It made me think of change in the way we deal with the world.
szavanna Resident: hmm a great way to start out San
Uns Mistwalker: welcome back Sunji.
szavanna Resident: ty :)
szavanna Resident: if not San - may be you have another video?
DR42 Resident: I read an article about deep well disposal of wastewater and how it has been linked to earthquakes.
szavanna Resident: you have the link may be?
Uns Mistwalker: and here in the US.....the impacts of 'fracking'.....are not yet being seriously considered.
--BELL--
DR42 Resident: Looking
szavanna Resident: ok °͜°
DR42 Resident: http://www.usgs.gov/blogs/features/u...e-earthquakes/
szavanna Resident: thanks Maude
Santoshima Resident: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZfDKeYjct8
szavanna Resident: USGS scientists have found that at some locations the increase in seismicity coincides with the injection of wastewater in deep disposal wells. Much of this wastewater is a byproduct of oil and gas production and is routinely disposed of by injection into wells specifically designed and approved for this purpose.
szavanna Resident: never heard of this before
szavanna Resident: Thanks Maude will look at it after the session
szavanna Resident: San's song next :)
DR42 Resident: I thought of it because of the link San first gave us.
szavanna Resident: 'Sucker' by Mo Kenney with Joel Plaskett
szavanna Resident: yes please post anything that comes to your mind :)
szavanna Resident: lyrics :
szavanna Resident: hey, I’m a sucker for your face clear as a portrait in a frame I thought I saw you yesterday in your car across the lake before you left me in this place you gave me a look that I could taste why’d you leave me in this place? why’d you have to go away? through the door and to the glass your eyes fixed on the sun at last and now you’re just a memory of everything I’d hoped you’d be your eyes are like a big black hole the more I look the less I know so tell me what you learned from me no shut your mouth cause talk is cheap well I stood in an empty street today carving your name into the clay why’d you have to go away? why’d you leave me in this way? I’m a sucker for your face
Uns Mistwalker listens to our session....feels energy underneath the words and the music....thinks about how these sessions give me a sense of a kind of solidarity with people from all over the planet...and is grateful.
szavanna Resident loves listening to everyone's songs
szavanna Resident: especially when acoustic
szavanna Resident: °͜°
Uns Mistwalker: that's another entire session.....what it is that happens to the impact of music as the arrangements become more complex and commercia.
Uns Mistwalker: l
szavanna Resident: sigh ...why’d you have to go away? why’d you leave me in this way?
szavanna Resident: hmm shall we end on a melancolic note ...or shall I post something hehe
Uns Mistwalker: ooooo I wanna post something!....but its commercial..... was my first choice today.
szavanna Resident: ok °͜°
DR42 Resident: I need to depart, in a much more meditative state. Thank you for starting the topic direction.
DR42 Resident waits
