Longest Running Thread EVER

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER

 

Well, it's on a Dead Can Dance album entitled "Toward The Within". Very good stuff, IMNSHO. Here's the lyrics for one of the more...interesting...ones:

 

I Am Stretched On Your Grave

 

I am stretched on your grave

And will lie there forever

With your hands held in mine

I'd be sure we'd not sever

My apple tree my brightness

'Tis time we were together

For I smell of the earth

And am stained by the weather

 

When my family thinks

That I'm safe in my bed

From night until morning

I am stretched at your head

Calling out to the air

With tears both hot and wild

Oh I grieve for the girl

That I loved as a child

 

The priests and the friars

Behold me in dread

Because I still love you

My love and you're dead

I would still be your shelter

From rain and from storm

And with you in your cold grave

I cannot sleep warm

 

Very nice intrumentals on this one as well...haunting even...

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER

 

My favorite song's lyrics are:

 

Couldn't sleep so I went out walking

Thinking about you and hearing us talking

And all the things I should have said

Echo now, inside my head

 

I feel something falling from the sky

I'm so sad I made the angels cry

 

Tears from the moon

Fall down like rain

I reach for you

I reach in vain

 

Tears from the moon, tears from the moon

 

It just ain't fair this thing called loving

When one step there and the other feels nothing

I would have done anything for you

I still love you, baby I adore you

 

All day I keep from falling apart

But at night when the sky gets dark

 

Tears from the moon

Fall down like rain

I reach for you

I reach in vain

 

Stop, Stop haunting me

It should be easy

As easy as when you stopped wanting me

 

Tears from the moon

Fall down like rain

I reach for you

I reach in vain

 

Tears from the moon

Fall down like rain

but tears from the moon

can't wash away the pain

 

Tears from the moon, tears from the moon

Tears from the moon, tears from the moon

Last Caress - Misfits

 

I got something to say

I killed your baby today

And it doesn’t matter much to me

As long as it’s dead

 

Well I got something to say

I raped your mother today

And it doesn’t matter much to me

As long as she spread

 

Sweet lovely death

I am waiting for your breath

Come sweet death, one last caress

 

Go

 

Sweet lovely death

I am waiting for your breath

Come sweet death, one last caress

 

Well, I got something to say

I killed your baby today

And it doesn’t matter much to me

As long as it’s dead

 

Sweet lovely death

I am waiting for your breath

Come sweet death

One last caress

 

One last caress, sweet death

One last caress, sweet death

 

Oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh

I don't recognize that one (thought it may be the lack of actually hearing it). It looks nice' date=' who is the artist?[/quote']

Sinead O'Connor. It's off the Conjure One album, which was put together with various contributions from various artists. It has 2 tracks by Poe, 1 by Mazzie Star . . . and I forget the rest.

Cool, it reads like something she would do well. Saw her live at Red Rocks (natural outdoor amphitheater in CO).

 

As an interesting coincidence, when I was getting the lyrics for I Am Stretched On Your Grave, I discovered that apparantly Sinead also did a version of it. An odd syncronicity...

 

Currently listening to What I Am by Edie Brickell & New Bohemians. While I was at OU one of the Philisophy profs did a lecture about this song...very interesting.

It's . . . well, it's hard to say what it is I like about the song. It's really mournful, and in turns righteously angry, as well. I dunno.

I used to have a chinese one of those, the added safety sucked, and the metal was so soft they only stated it had a lifespan of 2000 rds.

 

I wish there had been a high performance hollowpoint for it at the time, but because there wasn't I used the 9mm barrel.

 

 

So here. :D

I had a CD with that on it, I think I loaned it to someone and never got it back. I don't even remember who it was. It had another song I kind of liked called "worms."

 

I was working graveyard shift in a convenience store, and a little depressed. ;)

I love Loreena McKennitt and her version of "The Highwayman" I wish she hadn't cut out a verse or 3, though.

I wasn't too fond of Sinnead until I heard "the Foggy Dew" from the chieftains Long Black Veil album.

Great doesn't quite cover it!

 

 

I can see some of my characters charging down the highway with rapier brandished high...

 

Though the ending for those in front of him would usually be rather different!

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER

 

If you outweigh me by a factor of two, you need to lose a lot of weight. Current weight according to the scale is 265. I'd be even more worried if this was two years ago when I was a little close to 300 (295).

 

Granted I had no meat on me when I graduated high school and was 165, but I put on 2" and 60 lbs in the next 2 years. My frame works best at 235-245. I'm slowly working my way back to that, or at least replacing the fat with muscle.

I would have had no clue you were pushing 300, so it wasn't too bad. But excellent work, I didn't realized you'd lost that much (or needed to).

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER

 

I'm happy to say that I was wrong. I currently weigh around what your frame works best at (I don't have a scale, so I don't know exactly how much I weigh).

 

Mostly unrelated, but when I was at OU I knew a guy that was 6'7" and weighed 165 lbs. He generally ate between 6 and 10 helpings of food at the cafeteria, but never gained any weight. That is until he joined the Air Force several years later. Last I heard he managed to get almost up to 200 lbs. :)

Heh. It took a lot of work for me to build up to 235 when I was younger. I think on the only reasons I gained back then was I was lumberjacking at home 30 eucalyptus trees one summer combined with all you can eat at the college cafeteria with much biking. No fat gain, but plenty of muscle. And then I got a computer job a few years later and went soft. :D Got back a few years later with Kenpo.

On a totally different note, and to help this thread be long, I just got this text in a piece of spam, the text no doubt made to help the message pass spam filters:

 

"suddenly commit nothing reference shining tying

I like that. It's like poetry. I'm keeping it.

I've been getting some like that. I've actually looked at a few.

Your's was more poetic. ;)
