Endlessly

Was there anything as close to pain as this song achieves?
even if you don't fit in the gloom?
The first time I listened to this song, the emotions that swelled up in me was alarming;
The tempo of the song simply carries you to the zenith of sadness and well.. the exalting feel of love and promise that leaves you suddenly exposed
The music and the strumming is just too good
I dunno how they have achieved the sounds.. but it fits like zig-zag puzzles
and the voice of Bellamy is just the voice of an addicted lover you wish to listen..

I have been reading Twilight series at the same time I was exploring Muse.. its amazing but most of the songs seem like it was written with Edward in mind and his his love for Bella.. Of course Super massive black hole has been used in the movie, Twilight..  could not have been a coincidence.. I guess, even the director thinks the same way I do? :)

Birding

I had made no plans this weekend to go birding, been too lazy lately to muster the effort to wake up early morning and go alone to the frequent haunts of yester days. When however my sister too eager to catch up the wild state of Mysore, I grudgingly accompanied her. I am glad I did. The majestic Pelicans are home!
I guess, if as decided, we would have been through the main gates of Lingabudhi kere we would have totally missed their presence, since its quite difficult to go around where they were currently roosting. Must say the luck was in our sides, the auto took the way around the lake, no doubt to increase the fare, when I caught sight of the swelled lake and its inhabitants. My eyes almost popped out with excitement recognizing the Pelicans. We spent a good part of our morning going around observing them. The majestic glide of the Pelicans in the air without beating a wing like a silent aircraft.
What most interested me was their landing sequence, never having seen one in real it was just like watching NGC or something. Besides the treat we also spotted Baer's Pochard , Pintails and grassbird ( a personal discovery of mine ;) ) the usual Koot, spot billed duck, black winged stilts, etc.,

GNR

I dunno the GNR of the present day but I am incredibly hooked to the Guns N' Roses band as it was with the line up of Axl, Slash and Duff..

Of course the same line up with Izzy and Soren and Adler produced some of my personal favourites. The solos of slash with Izzy and Duff, the energetic drumming by Soren/Adler and without doubt the voice of Rose were/are/will be always a photographic memory for me.

Its simply too bad that these guys didn't remain together to create many more great albums.

GNR then was without doubt the best hard rock band, the originality of the music and the video imagery are simply a product of genuises.

I wish I were born a decade earlier in some place where I would have had the honour of watching this amazing band's live performances. The controversies either with their drug habits or in their personal lives or on stage abuses, created such an aura around them that no one could ignore them. Even without all that they stood supreme simply for the quality of music.

Echoes

This particularly trippy song from the album Meddle by Pink Floyd, has been my favorite for sometime now. I have never been great at interpreting the meaning behind Floyd songs, and I will refrain from doing so here. I have always believed that everything can be interpreted in many different ways . You see a piece of art , say an abstract painting,  each one will see it in his own light, a fitting description he draws by putting together all his mortal memories. I have felt the same about music.You may not agree to what I have to say here, nevertheless its true.

Something about its music shatters my heart, like as if I am all alone where air, fluid like water swirls around me in constant turbulence choking me and yet bringing that strange delight which only a person desperately seeking his last breathe will know. 

Sometimes I listen to this song  I recollect this one time when some guy who was sitting nearby was crooning its lyrics all lost in it, unaware that I was lending my ear to his sojourn whisperings and felt the strange sensation of the two strangers Floyd mentions.

There are numerous emotions to this song.. the brilliant solos.. the cry of the albatross.. simply divine.. I just can't fathom the inspiration behind all the Floyd songs.. so unnaturally alien so unnaturally unearthly like they must stubbornly fit into the half dreamy world.
