I was in LA in August 2015 and loved it
The Broad opened the week after I left, so disappointed!

I do Lorde

Thanks for putting up Lorde pat1 I enjoy her music too awesome lyrics as well.

There are days where I can relate to this Kiwi classic so much so that when I listen to it the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.

Turn up the volume.

Enz - so much energy!

I probably posted this before but I'm celebrating SVR12 today and it came up and brought a tear to my eyes once again, as it often does. My favourite song ever and has been for over 40 years.



Look out of any window
any morning, any evening, any day
Maybe the sun is shining
birds are winging or
rain is falling from a heavy sky -
What do you want me to do,
to do for you to see you through?
this is all a dream we dreamed
one afternoon long ago
Walk out of any doorway
feel your way, feel your way
like the day before
Maybe you'll find direction
around some corner
where it's been waiting to meet you -
What do you want me to do,
to watch for you while you're sleeping?
Well please don't be surprised
when you find me dreaming too

Look into any eyes
you find by you, you can see
clear through to another day
I know it's been seen before
through other eyes on other days
while going home -
What do you want me to do,
to do for you to see you through?
It's all a dream we dreamed
one afternoon long ago

Walk into splintered sunlight
Inch your way through dead dreams
to another land
Maybe you're tired and broken
Your tongue is twisted
with words half spoken
and thoughts unclear
What do you want me to do
to do for you to see you through
A a box of rain will ease the pain
and love will see you through

Just a box of rain -
wind and water -
Believe it if you need it,
if you don't just pass it on
Sun and shower -
Wind and rain -
in and out the window
like a moth before a flame

It's just a box of rain
I don't know who put it there
Believe it if you need it
or leave it if you dare
But it's just a box of rain
or a ribbon for your hair
Such a long long time to be gone
and a short time to be there

Ty Sonix beautiful lyrics and congrats again
I'm getting my SVR12 tomorrow its a long shortest day today in mermaid land.

For the Winter Solstice here
Martha

X thank you Sonix
beautiful & poetic
love the flower references on both GD cover and lyrics
Martha Ty
we honour the longest night

it's winter solstice in the Southern Hemisphere
and let the magic begin
X..........................

Wind is in the east
Stare at us eyes in wonder
Like beggars at a feast
We can't even, count the number
What you gonna do?
Send them table scraps we're leaving
One who care are few
Most spend there time, with useless meaning

Dear father,
Do you think that it will be alright?
Tell me mother,
Will we make it through?
We make it through the hungry night.

Somewhere in the west
Gold teeth, but sometime is gleaming
We know we are the best
Even know, the beasts lie screaming
We've got power to spare
A new clear day
Is dawning they say
But tell us, don't you dare
The piper has a price that we pay

Dear preacher,
Do you think that we'll see the light?
Tell me teacher,
Well we make it through?
We make it through the darkest night.

Two faces in the south
The first one has a look of
With fine words in his mouth
His heart is black,
As ghetto chimneys

What you gonna do?
To hide the shame,
Contain their anger.
What you gonna say?
You walk the line, of constant danger

Dear brother,
You think we'll have to stand and fight?
Tell me sister, Will we make it through?
We make it through the longest night.

Dear father,
Do you think it's gonna be alright?
Tell me teacher,
Do you think that we'll see the light?
Tell me brother,
You think we'll have to stand and fight?
Tell me sister,
Will we make it through?
Make it through the longest night.

Martha Wainwright - music royalty

I've worked with Martha Wainwright a couple of times, she's great.
Ariel, wish you luck with SVR12, sure you'll ace it with those great previous test results.
The rose on the Grateful Dead American Beauty cover is a variety called, wait for it...... American Beauty.

Happy Solstice everyone. I look forward to longer, warmer days. That wind today felt like it was coming straight from the Antarctic, cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey.
