U2 @ MindSay

I believe they're coming down (Can go there too)
I believe in this city's children (And you... )
I believe the trumpet's sound (can go go go go)
And you can go there too
And you can go go go go...
I believe in what I'm doing
What am I doing here?

As one year passes, another shall grow in the fertile earth that is the corpse of the previous year...

Another year for the history books, another volume added to the encyclopedia of this existence with the new one being written as I type...

This year I shall not spin my wheels going through this life, but rather I shall start slow insuring that they have enough traction to propel me to where I want to go and I am planning to go somewhere of importance this year - somewhere far from where I am at this moment as I type my thoughts upon the screen...

Funny it is that when I read a Blog especially from a friend whose opinion on matters I respect can set my mind drifting off into the uncharted waters of my mind. Like why I Blog...

Do I do so that others will be impressed by all that I have to say? Nope, this is not the reason why in the least for I know for a fact that most folks do not understand what I'm trying to say - the point of all that I've written. And I know for a fact that most cannot see things I present from my prospective...

I Blog because I need to understand all the little currents and eddies that are in my mind. I need to know why it is my brain processes data the way it does. I have a need to know why I seem to view things differently than most people. I need to know what makes me tick and why it is so...

Does it matter to me in the least that I am not one of the popular Bloggers here at Mindsay? Nope, I know that I could easily make the Top Blogs every entry I add by simply voting for myself with my other Blog, but I will not do so for the simple fact that my life is not a pageant where I'm forced to smile and lie about how I will help the needy if and when I win. I do not Blog because I have a need to be accepted and at times I think it is quite the opposite where I Blog to force people away so that only those who have some idea what I'm talking about will wonder back and think of me as a friend...

And thinking about all that I have written for this entry, I wonder as I always do, why it is I have absolutely no direction in all the words I have written and why it is these words have taken the course that they have done...

Can you hear me now?

This is the Word of the AntiCrust...

Praise be ye who Read the Word...

Thanks hereruraisins29 .. loved doing this.. found it amusing too!! Haha

I already loved this song and thought it was kick-ass since the first time I heard it, but...Damn, the video is really amazing.

 

Some of you have probably already heard this song before.  It's "The Saints are Coming" by U2 and Green Day.  You know, the one they performed at the Super Dome for the first Saints game this season.  Anyway, the song is awesome.  I finally saw the video today, and it just brought tears to my eyes.  Not because it's really that sad, but it's just so touching what they did with the media footage they put in there.  It's all about New Orleans and Katrina and when the troops came in to help the victims.  You should watch it because I said so.  =P

 

Seriously, it's worth watching if you have the time.  Like I said, the song itself is cool, but the video just makes it that much more awesme.

 

Enjoy.  :)

 

 

"The Saints are Coming"

 

Green Day:

There is a house in New Orleans
they call the Rising Sun.
It's been the ruin of many a poor boy,
and God, I know I'm one.

 

U2:
I cried to my daddy on the telephone,
"How long now,
Until the clouds unroll and you come down?"
The line went.
But the shadows still remain since your descent,
your descent.

 

Green Day:
I cried to my daddy on the telephone,
"How long now,
Until the clouds unroll and you come home?"
The line went.
But the shadows still remain since your descent,
your descent.

 

Chorus (together) :
The saints are coming
The saints are coming
I say no matter how I try, I realize there's no reply.
The saints are coming
The saints are coming
I say no matter how I try, I realize there's no reply.

 

A drowning sorrow floods the deepest grief
How long now,
Until the weather change condemns belief,
How long now?
When the night watchman is in the fleet
What's wrong now?

 

The saints are coming
The saints are coming
I say no matter how I try, I realize there's no reply
The saints are coming
The saints are coming
I say no matter how I try, I realize there's no reply
I say no matter how I try, I realize there's no reply
I say no matter how I try, I realize there's no reply...

 

--U2 & Green Day

in a growing anti-Bush world, this is a must hear/see.

Anytime a U2 song plays, it just makes me want to crank it up as loud as I can, and put the pedal to the metal!

 

( I think you have to turn up the volume! LOL.. apropro!)
