Perhaps not the most favored name in RIU :shock: but the band itself has been a big influence.

Synchronicity I

With one breath, with one flow
You will know
Synchronicity

A sleep trance, a dream dance
A shaped romance
Synchronicity

A connecting principle
Linked to the invisible
Almost imperceptible
Something inexpressible
Science insusceptible
Logic so inflexible
Causally connectable
Yet nothing is invincible

If we share this nightmare
Then we can dream
Spiritus mundi

If you act as you think
The missing link
Synchronicity

We know you, they know me
Extrasensory
Synchronicity

A star fall, a phone call
It joins all
Synchronicity

It's so deep, it's so wide
You're inside
Synchronicity

Effect without cause
Sub-atomic laws, scientific pause
Synchronicity


Synchronicity II

Another suburban morning
Grandmother screaming at the wall

We have to shout above the din of our Rice Crispies
We can't hear anything at all
Mother chants her litany of boredom and frustrations
But we know all her suicides are fake

Daddy only stares into the distance
There's only so much more that he can take
Many miles away something crawls from the slime at the
Bottom of a dark Scottish lake

Another industrial ugly morning
The factory belches filth into the sky
He walks unhindered through the picket lines today
He doesn't think to wonder why
The secretaries pout and preen like cheap tarts on a red light street
But all he ever thinks to do is watch
And every single meeting with his so-called superior
Is a humiliating kick in the crotch
Many miles away something crawls to the surface of a dark Scottish lake

Another working day has ended
Only the rush hour hell to face
Packed like lemmings into shiny metal boxes
Contestants in a suicidal race
Daddy grips the wheel and stares alone into the distance
He knows that something somewhere has to break
He sees the family home now looming in the headlights
The pain upstairs that makes his eyeballs ache
Many miles away there's a shadow on the door of a cottage on the
Shore of a dark Scottish lake

Floating in red again
A deepened soil
Nothing
Empty cup
Trade not known
Showing promise of a perfect land
No regrets for a fallen ground
The omen passed
Woman possessed
Reflect on the duties held
Oceans morph to dust
Chasing the timeline
Bolts of light flash
Original storm god
The atmosphere that floats above the earth
Is corrupt for man
This we know
What has dwelt within the early dawn has gone away
That's okay
Dig
Climb
Ancient elm
Root
Ride the vine of father ground our carving
The atmosphere that floats above the earth is corrupt for man
This we know
Circle
Made of ash
Betray her presence
Huntress
Gentle breath
Listen to the poison rose

The music that makes you shake because you can relate
[video=youtube;oC_MSR7MOZs]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oC_MSR7MOZs[/video]

Need to make a better choice of my time, find an inner voice to help me walk along a very fine line
[video=youtube;jxjQAJKjJ74]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxjQAJKjJ74[/video]

Relax, God is in control, watch the dot, take your meds, obey my demands, trust my dog...

I don't wanna talk to you anymore
I'm afraid of what I might say
I bite my tongue every time you come around
'Cause blood in my mouth beats
Blood on the ground

Hand over my heart I swear
I've tried everything I could within all my power
Two weeks and one hour I slaved
And now I've got nothing to show
Oh if only you'd grow taller than a brick wall
From now on, gonna start holding my breath
When you come around
And you flex that fake grin
'Cause something inside me has said more than twice
That breathing LESS air beats breathing you in, oh

I don't wanna talk to you anymore
I'm afraid of what I might say
I bite my tongue every time you come around
'Cause blood in my mouth beats
Blood on the ground

Hand over my mouth, I'm earning the right to my silence
In quiet discerning between ego and timing
Good judgment is once again proving to me
That it's still worth it's weight in gold
From now on I'm gonna be so much more wary
When you start to speak and my warm blood starts to boil
Seeing you is like pulling teeth
And hearing your voice is like chewing tin foil

I don't wanna talk to you anymore
I'm afraid of what I might say
I bite my tongue every time you come around
'Cause blood in my mouth beats
Blood on the ground

High fives to better judgment
By saying less today, I will gain more, gain more
Low twos to you my, my fickle friend
You, you, you who brought the art of silent war

I don't wanna talk to you anymore
I'm afraid of what I might say
I bite my tongue every time you come around
'Cause blood in my mouth beats
Blood on the ground



...and a bit more Gojira for good measure. ...and 'cause pinch harmonics are sexy. :)

Every Step you take is to the end
Chaos, duplicate the human slaves
Mother Nature so far away : Why?
Perfect is the race you dream

Right now, I make my choice
Perfection you fake is not
The soul, not a genetic code
You fools, you ignoramuses

Hatchery, the newborn to celebrate
Ashes to ashes, I see respect in the dust
Life is so perfect

Now for the weak an abortion
Celebrate perfection that grows
The flesh, a gift of science
The soul a fault of a god

Life on its way to the state of fire
From the cold taste of steel
Light embraces the dark, lava flowing free
and the cradle is...
Forgot the reasons why - We all lie so pale
On the playground of cold
Mother Nature is at saturation point
and the cradle is falling down...

This song touches on just about ever genre posted here, get past the beginning dialog

My first smell of weed came wafting out of my fathers den along with these musical notes

Both of these are pretty cool. I wonder if you think the wafting had an effect on you? I don't mean a secondary high, I mean that 'dad smoked the pot'. I'm sure it is obvious why I ask. My daughter figures stuff out pretty damn quick.

I absolutely love the drums in this song... the intro part, with the 2 cymbal hits on the off beat between the 2nd and 3rd beats in the second measure... sweet rolls too!

There are whispers, one that let me in on the upcoming, I watched and listened, ready to take hold the sight, to take over the whole damn night
I stay buried from the loss that killed me across
Never go away, hold her tightly and I love hard than I can
Only one way out

The voices are calling me, outside in
They hold the misery from breaking in...

With hours left and the light at the end is dimmer than, I watched and listened, leaving without losing tonight, her breath on skin by candlelight
I'll take the loss from my face and leave grace in it's trace
Never go away, hold her tightly
And I love harder than I can...only one way down

The voices are calling me, outside in
They hold the misery from breaking in
And one day after the rain, the loss sinks in
The photographs are along to uphold withstand

One day after the rain, when the loss sinks in
The photographs are alone to uphold and withstand
Only one day after the rain...capsized in the sea of your scent
Only one day after the rain...when abandonment is my closest friend

Wow, that Gavin Harrison guy is a pretty articulate drummer! Definitely sounds like he was jazz-trained....
...his father was pro trumpet player, he (Gavin) was 'in it' from a very young age. I respect his approach. He's an honest (looking), decent guy. Pretty straight up! I'd say he's in my top 3 influences in drumming.

I fucking love Rage against the Machine! There's just nothing like them when I'm extra pissed at the Man. Zach de la Rocha has great energy, lyrics and attitude. Tom Morello revolutionized guitar playing with his awesome, innovative techniques. I was tired cleaning up the house tonight, put on Rage, and just rocked out:

This is my favorite tune from them:

Vietnow

This one's great

[video=youtube;B1T8xgHdMEM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1T8xgHdMEM[/video]

Probably their best known

[video=youtube;-58-36lSqG4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-58-36lSqG4[/video]

Not their best tune, but I love the attitude and sentiment

He quit smoking around that time and I didn't put 2+2 together until I was about 17.
