Without music life would be a mistake. ~ Nietzsche

True, Nietzsche, true.

I recently (like...tonight) purchased the Beatles: Love cd. This is the project of George Martin and his son, Giles, for the Beatles' Cirque de Soleil show. It's wonderful.


Anyway..

On my trip last weekend, I also wrote down some lyrics that I thought were pretty good. Some of them I'll share with you here:

I'm afraid not of more of you cowards, but of my own strength. - NAS

Elenor Rigby waits at the window wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door. Who is it for? - Beatles

Oh God, under the weight of life, things seem brighter on the other side. - Dave Matthews

Now I'm trippin on MC's cliches, shot that ricochets, start trouble bust bubbles.. - Method Man

I ain't, I ain't, I ain't getting out of bed today, 9 to 5 to survive, theres gotta be a better way, Waking up early to punch in the clock, How I look, a grown man with my lunch in a box, But my kids need socks and shoes... - Murs

I annihilate as I articulate, Words of power your rhymes are unconfounding so death's your fate.. - Jeru the Damaja

Make a sound, fake it enough. - Circa Survive

High stakes, I got more at stake than Philly. - Jay-Z

Could this be out of line? To say you're the only one breaking me down like this,
You're the only one I would take a shot on, Keep me hanging on so contagiously. - Acceptance

And the people who love me still ask me, "When are you coming back to town? And I answer, "Quite frankly, when they stop building roads, and all God needs is gravity to hold me down.." - Allison Krauss



These are just a few lyrics I liked for one reason or another. Just thought I'd share... :0)
