Anyway the world moves on towards some inevitable end or just more of the same. So here is something to soothe the spirit. Here is an inspiring mesmerizing wonderfully surreal use of language & imagery The Carnival is Over by the Dead Can Dance which somehow to me fits with this day of all days as it were.
--- Dead Can Dance Lyrics - The Carnival Is Over Lyrics---
Outside
The storm clouds gathering,
Moved silently along the dusty boulevard.
Where flowers turning crane their fragile necks
So they can in turn
Reach up and kiss the sky.
They are driven by a strange desire
Unseen by the human eye
Someone is calling.
I remember when you held my hand
In the park we would play when the circus came to town.
Look! Over here.
Outside
The circus gathering
Moved silently along the rainswept boulevard.
The procession moved on the shouting is over
The fabulous freaks are leaving town.
They are driven by a strange desire
Unseen by the human eye.
The carnival is over
We sat and watched
As the moon rose again
For the very first time
And here is a bit about the Chocolate Jesus from YOUTUBE user frankososos1who combines images of Jesus with Tom Waits song Chocolate Jesus which I found amusing & edifying as it were:
--Chocolate Jesus---
(Tom Waits and Kathleen Brennan)
Don't go to church on Sunday
Don't get on my knees to pray
Don't memorize the books of the Bible
I got my own special way
Bit I know Jesus loves me
Maybe just a little bit more
I fall on my knees every Sunday
At Zerelda Lee's candy store
Well it's got to be a chocolate Jesus
Make me feel good inside
Got to be a chocolate Jesus
Keep me satisfied
Well I don't want no Anna Zabba
Don't want no Almond Joy
There ain't nothing better
Suitable for this boy
Well it's the only thing
That can pick me up
Better than a cup of gold
See only a chocolate Jesus
Can satisfy my soul
(Solo)
When the weather gets rough
And it's whiskey in the shade
It's best to wrap your savior
Up in cellophane
He flows like the big muddy
But that's ok
Pour him over ice cream
For a nice parfait
Well it's got to be a chocolate Jesus
Good enough for me
Got to be a chocolate Jesus
Good enough for me
Well it's got to be a chocolate Jesus
Make me feel good inside
Got to be a chocolate Jesus
Keep me satisfied
And here is a funny bit from the Daily Show with Jon Stewart & the Karl Rove Rap:
(update: ARCADE FIRE CHECKOUT website they have some bizzarro features on it pimping NEON BIBLE themselves - music for the whole family at Easter as it were & jerry Falwell & Jerry Lewis too-)
Love you too,
GORD.
