Feelin' Kinda Thankful

Forever On High - Calling

NASA tells me: "Mercury retrograde is an optical illusion that occurs when the planet Mercury appears to move backwards in the night sky. In reality, the Earth briefly overtakes Mercury in its orbit, creating a visual effect."

Thanks NASA. That helps. 

But what about when two people think they're in one place but they're in another? And can sometimes a body, celestial or otherwise, look healthy but it's not? Let me know. Thx bro.

Sooo, yeah, it's a song that's an apology of sorts to my kid for suggesting she become a ninja killer assassin in 'Revenge of Ceres.' 

Sorry, honey! Just daddy working through his issues.

Ceres Lament

Yes, there's a soundbite from a Marvel movie in the mix (Disney don't sue me please). And yes, it still makes me cry. Damn you, Vision!

The Next Day

The movie Brazil by Terry Gilliam has an important memory in my heart and the lyrics came from that story here the lyrics : 
Punch in an office of boredom 
That outmarchs your identity 
Obvious powers that command you 
Without a bit of humanity.  

Controlled lives by day 
Controlled dreams by night 
Illusion of a total control that will annihilate us.  

Your Angel Grows in you 
Blue eyes that caress you 
Make of you 
The Strength and courage and risk 
That was in you Sweet union always dreamed of 
Lives in you.  

Routine broken cleanly From a desire for freedom 
Madness and blood that threaten you 
From a system of stamped sheets  
Life resurrected from a desire 
Hidden in a corrupt office 
Leviathan greedy for stolen lives 
From a work of sheets and drafts  
Your Angel Grows in you Blue eyes that caress you Make of you.

Lyrics: 

In the morning I need coffee
Sleepy eyes, a dry mouth
My hair stands straight up
I have to wake up
All I need is my coffee

That is all I need
To live, love and breathe..

During the day I need water
And some food, to feel good
With more coffee, in my body
I can continue the work I do

That is all I need
To live, love and breathe..

When it becomes afternoon
I am hungry, need some dinner
And to rest on the sofa
With more coffee to stay awake

That is all I need
To live, love and breathe..

That is all I need
To live, love and breathe..

In the morning I need coffee
Sleepy eyes, a dry mouth
My hair stands straight up
I have to wake up
All I need is my coffee

But in the evening, no more coffee
Just need my baby right beside me
Need some love
Need some heat
Before I close my eyes to sleep

That is all I need
To live, love and breathe...

That Is All I Need

melodic, rap, trap, house? I certainly have no idea how it werks still.
