my ipod landed on joseph arthur's honey and the moon tonight while i was cleaning.
it brought back bittersweet memories of instants that now feel like a lifetime ago.

Earth Song - Michael Jackson
Earth Song - Michael Jackson - Free videos are just a click away
What about sunrise
What about rain
What about all the things
That you said we were to gain
What about killing fields
Is there a time
What about all the things
That you said was yours and mine
Did you ever stop to notice
All the blood we've shared before
Did you ever stop to notice
This crying Earth this weeping shores?
Aaaaaaaaah, Oooooooooh
Aaaaaaaaah, Oooooooooh
What have we done to the world
Look what we've done
What about all the peace
That you pledge your only son
What about flowering fields
Is there a time
What about all the dreams
That you said was yours and mine
Did you ever stop to notice
All the children dead from war
Did you ever stop to notice
This crying Earth this weeping shores
Aaaaaaaaah, Oooooooooh
Aaaaaaaaah, Oooooooooh
I used to dream
I used to glance beyond the stars
Now I don't know where we are
Although I know we've drifted far
Aaaaaaaaah, Oooooooooh
Aaaaaaaaah, Oooooooooh
Aaaaaaaaah, Oooooooooh
Aaaaaaaaah, Oooooooooh
Hey, what about yesterday
(What about us)
What about the seas
(What about us)
The heavens are falling down
(What about us)
I can't even breathe
(What about us)
What about everthing
(What about us)
I have given you
(What about us)
What about nature's worth
(Ooo, ooo)
It's our planet's womb
(What about us)
What about animals
(What about it)
We've turned kingdoms to dust
(What about us)
What about elephants
(What about us)
Have we lost their trust
(What about us)
What about crying whales
(What about us)
We're ravaging the seas
(What about us)
What about forest trails
(Ooo, ooo)
Burnt despite our pleas
(What about us)
What about the holy land
(What about it)
Torn apart by creed
(What about us)
What about the common man
(What about us)
Can't we set him free
(What about us)
What about children dying
(What about us)
Can't you hear them cry
(What about us)
Where did we go wrong
(Ooo, ooo)
Someone tell me why
(What about us)
What about baby boy
(What about it)
What about the days
(What about us)
What about all their joy
(What about us)
What about the men
(What about us)
What about the crying man
(What about us)
What about Abraham
(What was us)
What about death again
(Ooo, ooo)
Do we give a damn
Aaaaaaaaah, Oooooooooh
Aaaaaaaaah, Oooooooooh...
Listen To The Darkside - Charlie Mars and Mary Louise Parker
Monday night, I went to make some buttons at 121studio, where my friend Chad gave me his brother's cd: Like a Bird, Like a Plane. This might demonstrate my musical ignorance, but I've never heard of Charlie Mars. And the fact that he is a local artist, only makes above statement even sadder.
Back to the cd, it's been playing in my car on rotation since Monday!It's filled with songs that just make you want to groove to them, and be engulfed in their musical universe. My favorites are #4: What Are You Looking For? and #5: Listen To The Darkside.
and doodling away. It's one of those songs that urges to go and do something! Great soundtrack for a creative filled afternoon. I could go on, but you get the point. It's obvious, I've developed a musical crush! All the while, not really knowing who I was listening to.
Then today, I read an interview with Mary Louise Parker at American Songwriter, where she talks about her part in Listen To The Darkside's video. I mean how much better can things get?
I'm a super fan of Weeds and Mary Louise Parker, and has been super excited that Weeds Season 5 is finally here! So video below is a super treat!
earth day : april 22nd
april 22nd 2009 will be the start of Earth Day Network’s Green GenerationTM campaign . it's a 2 year initiative that will lead to the 40th anniversary of earth day in april 2010. a community building initiative that includes regular people pursuing personal and collective projects that strive to find solutions to national and global issues related to climate change, world water crisis, sustainable economical solutions ... that are both human conscious and earth conscious.
"The Green GenerationTM is open to everyone: people of all ages and all nationalities, consumers who are committed to buying green; community leaders who are focused on greening their communities; parents and teachers who work to provide healthy foods and green schools for their children; those who work in green jobs; academics whose research is focused on innovative products and services; scientists and engineers who develop new green technologies; and governments that seek to implement policies and support research that will build a green economy and healthy population, and the religious community who are committed to a vision of a just, sustainable, green planet. Corporations will play a key leadership role in the Green Generation campaign, particularly those that recognize that their future success is tied to sustainable products and socially just endeavors." source: The Green GenerationTM
we are living in a fast changing world, where concerns about preservation and consumer waste reduction blur borders and national boundaries. "green" issues are global problems that need global answers and solutions.we are at the birth of a new era, where preserving the Earth is a personal, corporate, and governmental responsibility."green" progress will be one of the hallmark of the 21st century. so don't lag behind the times, and move forward to work toward a better future for the next generation.

the story - brandi carlile
All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to
It's true...I was made for you
I climbed across the mountain tops
Swam all across the ocean blue
I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules
But baby I broke them all for you
Because even when I was flat broke
You made me feel like a million bucks
You do
I was made for you
You see the smile that's on my mouth
It's hiding the words that don't come out
And all of my friends who think that I'm blessed
They don't know my head is a mess
No, they don't know who I really am
And they don't know what
I've been through like you do
And I was made for you...
All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to
It's true...I was made for you
