Oh, oh. I'm really not a huge fan of this band solely because the vocalist is questionable and they couldn't have picked a worse name for themselves. But specifically this song? Ooooh boy. Sorry, nothin' on youtube.
1. !!! - Storm the legion
LSD taught me a lot about me
Or would I have figure it out just naturally?
It's too late to tell 'cause I'm talkin' to hell
With all the other acid casualties
Spent a lot of time staring at ceiling fans
And trippin' on stereo panning
Came to a new level of understanding
But it never much came in handy
And now I'm just so damaged
But all those straight minds are just so narrow
And me and my friends are wonderin' just where oh where
Where did our minds go?
I learned a lot from smokin' pot
Then again maybe not
Can't remember what I forgot
I do believe I'm shaking up our conceptions of reality
But goddamn if I don't got friends
Who forget where they were headin'
And they're lookin' every direction
And all they see is dead ends
Some of my friends are already talkin'
How they miss the old days
But they never seems to connect it
With their new ways
No they never think of changin' things
They just order up another drink
And the reasons why we're gettin' fucked up
End up not matterin' that much
Well yeah, I get fucked up every once in a while
But we all got friends who gotta get fucked up just to smile
And it ain't a smile if you gotta force it

Dante's Prayer, by Loreena McKinnett
By the verse --
When the dark wood fell before me
And all the paths were overgrown
When the priests of pride say there is no other way
I tilled the sorrows of stone
This is most of my life, all the dark times, all the loneliness, the endless "dark wood" that I can never seem to get free of. Yet despite all of it, despite my mother and others trying to steer me into more "lucrative" ways of life (the "priests of pride"), I have gone on with my science-fiction writing, fandom, the path I have chosen for myself -- and have walked alone for it. This is the sorrows of stone.
I did not believe because I could not see
Though you came to me in the night
When the dawn seemed forever lost
You showed me your love in the light of the stars
The first line, about not believing because I could not see, refers to my stubborn refusal to commit myself to an organized religion based on an anthropomorphized "god" -- I must experience it for myself, in my own mind, with my own senses, before I will believe it. "Though you came to me in the night" refers to an experience I had once when I felt my father's presence in the room with me, six years after his death. This experience occurred during a time of sickness and high fever to me, and after some study of shamanic traditions years later I came to learn that this is a typical shamanic experience. "When the dawn seemed forever lost / You showed me your love in the light of the stars" also refers to my father, how at all the dark times in my life I knew he was still with me, and how later the sight of the stars and the Moon came to mean his love to me.
Cast your eyes on the ocean
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seems endless
Please remember me
This verse is to me my father's words to me, to not give up hope. When it's all black around me, to remember him, the stars, the Moon, and that I must go on to live the life he didn't get to live. To live for both of us.
Then the mountain rose before me
By the deep well of desire
From the fountain of forgiveness
Beyond the ice and fire
This to me represents my life beginning with the point where all hell broke loose, to put it bluntly. The mountain is the hard climb I began when I took my life into my own hands and embarked on my own path, and left the path that I was told to take. It began with cheating on my now ex-husband, the "deep well of desire", and later after years of trials to wisdom and forgiveness. "Beyond the ice and the fire" refers to the loneliness I now live in, and the fire the 10 years of craziness that came before it.
Cast your eyes on the ocean
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seems endless
Please remember me
Again, the chorus, see above.
Though we share this humble path, alone
How fragile is the heart
Oh give these clay feet wings to fly
To touch the face of the stars
This verse starts with the way my life has been for a long time now -- walking my path alone. It seems I am afraid of everything I encounter, and that I don't have the strength to truly find a way to a fulfilled, usefull, creative life. "Oh give these clay feet wings to fly / To touch the face of the stars" is my prayer to my father's spirit, still with me, still watching over me, that he would help me to the answer I have always sought, the key that will make all my life make sense, the key to live my life in grace as I want to live it.
Breathe life into this feeble heart
Lift this mortal veil of fear
Take these crumbled hopes, etched with tears
We'll rise above these earthly cares
This continues the prayer to my father's presence, to give me the wherewithal to endure, to find a means to make something useful out of all the wayward parts of my life and talents, to make all of this crazy mixed-up life make sense in the end. "We'll rise above these earthly cares" is a defiant promise that I make to my father's presence, that I will live for us both and rise above all the murk that is my life, to make both our lives have some kind of meaning. That we'll make it to the stars someday.
Cast your eyes on the ocean
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seems endless
Please remember me
Please remember me
Again, the chorus, with the fading "Please remember me" always seeming to me to be my father ascending to some higher plane, into the sun, into the stars, into the clouds.
Go here to listen to the song on YouTube. Ignore the video, just close your eyes and listen, with headphones if you can.

Oooh, I love Loreena McKennit, too. She's one of my favorites.
Right now, I'm thinking about Shakespeare's Sister (Stay). I'd forgotten about this song until someone mentioned Scissor Sister above:
[YOUTUBE]_eXw47qb4U0[/YOUTUBE]
Lyrics:
If this world is wearing thin
And you're thinking of escape
I'll go anywhere with you
Just wrap me up in chains
But if you try to go alone
Don't think I'll understand
Stay with me
Stay with me
In the silence of your room
In the darkness of your dreams
You must only think of me
There can be no in between
When your pride is on the floor
I'll make you beg for more
Stay with me
Stay with me
You'd better hope and pray
That you make it safe
Back to your own world
You'd better hope and pray
That you'll wake one day
In your own world
Coz when you sleep at night
They don't hear your cries
In your own world
Only time will tell
If you can break the spell
Back in your own world
Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay, stay with me
Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay
Stay with me

"The Leader of the Band" by Dan Fogelberg
Lyrics included in video
metaphorically speaking, my life shares parts of both Father and Son
and just me
An only child alone and wild
A cabinet maker's son
His hands were meant for different work
And his heart was known to none
He left his home and went his lone and solitary way
And he gave to me a gift I know
I never can repay
A quiet man of music denied a simpler fate
He tried to be a soldier once
But his music wouldn't wait
He earned his love through discipline
A thundering, velvet hand
His gentle means of sculpting souls
Took me years to understand
The leader of the band is tired
And his eyes are growing old
But his blood runs through my instrument
And his song is in my soul
My life has been a poor attempt
To imitate the man
I'm just a living legacy
To the leader of the band
My brothers' lives were different
For they heard another call
One went to Chicago and the other to St. Paul
And I'm in Colorado when I'm not in some hotel
Living out this life I've chose
And come to know so well
I thank you for the music and your stories of the road
I thank you for the freedom when it came my time to go
I thank you for the kindness
And the times when you got tough
And Papa, I don't think I said
"I love you" near enough
The leader of the band is tired
And his eyes are growing old
But his blood runs through my instrument
And his song is in my soul
My life has been a poor attempt
To imitate the man
I'm just a living legacy
To the leader of the band
I am the living legacy
To the leader of the band
"The Leader of the Band" by Dan Fogelberg
Lyrics included in video
metaphorically speaking, my life shares parts of both Father and Son
and just me
An only child alone and wild
A cabinet maker's son
His hands were meant for different work
And his heart was known to none
He left his home and went his lone and solitary way
And he gave to me a gift I know
I never can repay
A quiet man of music denied a simpler fate
He tried to be a soldier once
But his music wouldn't wait
He earned his love through discipline
A thundering, velvet hand
His gentle means of sculpting souls
Took me years to understand
The leader of the band is tired
And his eyes are growing old
But his blood runs through my instrument
And his song is in my soul
My life has been a poor attempt
To imitate the man
I'm just a living legacy
To the leader of the band
My brothers' lives were different
For they heard another call
One went to Chicago and the other to St. Paul
And I'm in Colorado when I'm not in some hotel
Living out this life I've chose
And come to know so well
I thank you for the music and your stories of the road
I thank you for the freedom when it came my time to go
I thank you for the kindness
And the times when you got tough
And Papa, I don't think I said
"I love you" near enough
The leader of the band is tired
And his eyes are growing old
But his blood runs through my instrument
And his song is in my soul
My life has been a poor attempt
To imitate the man
I'm just a living legacy
To the leader of the band
I am the living legacy
To the leader of the band

Lisa Loeb-Stay
Nora Jones -Come Away With me
Rasputina- Wish You Were Here
Tracy Chapman- Baby Can I Hold You
Dixie Chicks- Goodbye Earl
Pink- So What
Kind of a mix. The last two are what I listen to after I see my ex husband. The top one I thought was to help me stay with my ex husband, no. My ex bf in jail loved Pink Floyd and hated Rasputina so I like this one. Tracy Chapman is just because I love her. She is like the Maya Angelou of music to me. I find her a mix of strong feminine power and someone who has been through a similar relationship as me. Also fits my current mood.

This song/video clearly represents my twisted and strange sense of humor. Along with my wide array of interests ranging from learning to play instruments to martial arts.
