Dead Horse/ GNR

Sick of this life
Not that you'd care
I'm not the only one with
whom these feelings I share


Nobody understands, quite why we're here
We're searchin' for answers
That never appear


But maybe if I looked real hard I'd
I'd see your tryin' too
To understand this life,
That we're all goin' through
(Then when she said she was gonna like
wreck my car...I didn't know what to do)


Sometimes I feel like I'm beatin' a dead horse
An I don't know why you'd be bringin' me down
I'd like to think that our love's
worth a tad more
It may sound funny but you'd think by now
I'd be smilin'
I guess some things never change
Never change


I met an old cowboy
I saw the look in his eyes
Somethin' tells me he's been here before
'Cause experience makes you wise
I was only a small child
When the thought first came to me
That I'm a son of a gun and the gun of a son
That brought back the devil in me


Sometimes I feel like I'm beatin' a dead horse
An I don't know why you'd be bringin' me down
I'd like to think that our love's
worth a tad more
It may sound funny but you'd think by now
I'd be smilin'
I guess some things never change
Never change


I ain't quite what you'd call an old soul
Still wet behind the ears
I been around this track a couple o' times
But now the dust is startin' to clear
Oh yeah!!!


Sometimes I feel like I'm beatin' a dead horse
An I don't know why you'd be bringin' me down
I'd like to think that our love's
worth a tad more
It may sound funny but you'd think by now
I'd be smilin'
Ooh yeah, I'd be smilin'
No way I'd be smilin'
Ooh smilin'


Sick of this life
Not that you'd care
I'm not the only one
With whom these feelings I share

the Fool is usually the protagonist of my story, and the path the Fool takes through the great mysteries of life and the main human archetypes. Who is he ? the Grail Knight who may be destined to locate the Holy Cup where greater and wiser men have tried and failed, the one teetering at the edge of Nietzsche's abyss, at the cusp of dreadful knowledge that will pull him or her out of the cave, or even Hamlet before he decides to embrace his destiny. The Fool is often shown walking off a cliff. This raises the question "Is The Fool making a mistake, or is The Fool making a leap of faith?"

Ahista Ahista
Lyrics : Anvita Dutt Guptan
Singer : Lucky Ali, Shreya Ghoshal

Aahista aahista
Mujhe yakeen ho gaya
Aahista aahista
Yeh dil yahin kho gaya

Yun gira gira hai chand ya
Teri hai roshni
Yun udi udi si hai zameen
Aahista

Ho… ho….ho…..
Hua yeh pehli baar
Ho…ho…ho..
Mujhe ho gaya hai pyaar

Ho… ho….ho…..
Hua yeh pehli baar
Ho…ho…ho..
Mujhe ho gaya hai pyaar

Dekh loon yeh khwab main
Ke raaton mein tu aa key eh kahega
Ke tu ji rahi hai meri zindagi
Sochi kya baat hai
Yeh ankhon se tu dheere se sunega
Kyun na rok loon main yeh din yahin

Kissi se bhi na
Kahenge hum na
Yahin pe kho jayenge

Yun gira gira hai chand ya
Teri hai roshni
Yun udi udi si hai zameen
Aahista

Ho… ho… ho….
Hua yeh pehli bar
Ho…ho..ho…
Mujhe ho gaya hai pyaar

Mujhse ik pal mila
Yeh lamhe saare sab se chuppa lo
Teri jo kahani suna chala

Aur uss pal mein hi
Tum aa ke mujhe apna bana lo
Mujhko mera har ik kal mila

Phoolon ka hum na
Le ke bichauga
Khwabon mein kho jayenge

Yun gira gira hai chand ya
Teri hai roshni
Yun udi udi si hai zameen
Aahista

Ho… ho….ho…..
Hua yeh pehli baar
Ho…ho…ho..
Mujhe ho gaya hai pyaar

Aahista aahista
Mujhe yakeen ho gaya
Aahista aahista
Yeh dil yahin kho gaya

Yun gira gira hai chand ya
Teri hai roshni
Yun udi udi si hai zameen
Aahista

Ho… ho….ho…..
Hua yeh pehli baar
Ho…ho…ho..
Mujhe ho gaya hai pyaar

Chalun rukun ishaare pe
Tu kahe tho khwabon ka bana ke

MY ANSWER

Take It Easy/ Eagles

Well, Im running down the road
Tryin to loosen my load
Ive got seven women on
My mind,
Four that wanna own me,
Two that wanna stone me,
One says shes a friend of mine
Take it easy, take it easy
Dont let the sound of your own wheels
Drive you crazy
Lighten up while you still can
Dont even try to understand
Just find a place to make your stand
And take it easy
Well, Im a standing on a corner
In winslow, arizona
And such a fine sight to see
Its a girl, my lord, in a flatbed
Ford slowin down to take a look at me
Come on, baby, dont say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is
Gonna save me
We may lose and we may win though
We will never be here again
So open up, Im climbin in,
So take it easy
Well Im running down the road trying to loosen
My load, got a world of trouble on my mind
Lookin for a lover who wont blow my
Cover, shes so hard to find
Take it easy, take it easy
Dont let the sound of your own
Wheels make you crazy
Come on baby, dont say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is
Gonna save me, oh oh oh
Oh we got it easy
We oughta take it easy

In this world they dont come better than this, women who will let you keep your illusions, even live with your illusions.

in search of answers - the closer one is the harder it is to see

The job is to ask questions — it always was — and to ask them as inexorably as I can. And to face the absence of precise answers with a certain humility. - Arthur Miller (National Observer (20 January 1964) )

It is always and forever the same struggle: to perceive somehow our own complicity with evil is a horror not to be borne. ... much more reassuring to see the world in terms of totally innocent victims and totally evil instigators of the monstrous violence we see all about us.

Commenting on After the Fall (1964) in The Saturday Evening Post (1 February 1964)

I think now that the great thing is not so much the formulation of an answer for myself, for the theater, or the play — but rather the most accurate possible statement of the problem. – Arthur Miller to National Observer (20 January 1964)

I cannot write anything that I understand too well. If I know what something means to me, if I have already come to the end of it as an experience, I can't write it because it seems a twice-told tale. I have to astonish myself, and that of course is a very costly way of going about things, because you can go up a dead end and discover that it's beyond your capacity to discover some organism underneath your feeling, and you're left simply with a formless feeling which is not itself art. Its inexpressible and one must leave it until it is hardened and becomes something that has form and has some possibility of being communicated. It might take a year or two or three or four to emerge. -AM "The State of the Theatre" an interview by Henry Brandon in Harpers 221 (November 1960)

Poverty is caused by march of civilization, poor are relics of past as they are left by the wayside since they lack skills to join the march and are bogged down by trained incapacity to act. The rich have lost it lost the relationships between a man and men, and between men and Man. The two can trade skills and values but what are the institutionalized mechanisms for trading between people who hate ? fear of the other way of life rules the roost . we are all poor as a result. - shailenjha

My conception of the audience is of a public each member of which is carrying about with him what he thinks is an anxiety, or a hope, or a preoccupation which is his alone and isolates him from mankind; and in this respect at least the function of a play is to reveal him to himself so that he may touch others by virtue of the revelation of his mutuality with them. If only for this reason I regard the theater as a serious business, one that makes or should make man more human, which is to say, less alone. – AM Collected Plays (1958) Introduction, Section 2

A good newspaper (read blog) , I suppose, is a nation talking to itself. –AM As quoted in The Observer [London] (26 November 1961)

The best of our theater is standing on tiptoe, striving to see over the shoulders of father and mother. The worst is exploiting and wallowing in the self-pity of adolescence and obsessive keyhole sexuality. The way out, as the poet says, is always through. - AM National Observer (20 January 1964)

Post Script

I dont understand how come youre gone, man. I dont understand why half the world is still crying, man, when the other half of the world is still crying too, man, I cant get it together. – Janis Joplin (Ball and Chain)

Regards an avid enthusiast

"do you want to MOUNT me or do you want to mount ME" - scream of frustation into the night...

Me & Bobby McGee / Janis Joplin

Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waiting for a train
And I's feeling nearly as faded as my jeans.
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained,
It rode us all the way to New Orleans.

I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna,
I was playing soft while Bobby sang the blues.
Windshield wipers slapping time, I was holding Bobby's hand in mine,
We sang every song that driver knew.

Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose,
Nothing don't mean nothing honey if it ain't free, now now.
And feeling good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues,
You know feeling good was good enough for me,
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee.

From the Kentucky coal mines to the California sun,
Hey, Bobby shared the secrets of my soul.
Through all kinds of weather, through everything we done,
Hey Bobby baby? kept me from the cold.

One day up near Salinas, Lord, I let him slip away,
He's looking for that home and I hope he finds it,
But I'd trade all of my tomorrows for one single yesterday
To be holding Bobby's body next to mine.

Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose,
Nothing, that's all that Bobby left me, yeah,
But feeling good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues,
Hey, feeling good was good enough for me, hmm hmm,
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee.

La la la, la la la la, la la la, la la la la
La la la la la Bobby McGee.
La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la, Bobby McGee, la.

La La la, la la la la la la,
La La la la la la la la la, ain`t no bumb on my bobby McGee yeah.
Na na na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na na na na
Hey now Bobby now, Bobby McGee, yeah.

Lord, I'm calling my lover, calling my man,
I said I'm calling my lover just the best I can,
C'mon, hey now Bobby yeah, hey now Bobby McGee, yeah,
Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lord
Hey, hey, hey, Bobby McGee, Lord!

Yeah! Whew!

Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lord
Hey, hey, hey, Bobby McGee.
