Eva van Boudewijn de Groot

Ik houd de wereld in mijn hand,

het glazen ei vol land en wolken.

Ik zal de hemel gaan bevolken,

ik roep de varens uit het zand.

Ik schud de apen uit mijn mouw,

de spikkelpanters en de mieren,

het blauw konijn, de krabbeldieren.

Ik strooi topaas, azuur en dauw.

Ik weet nu dat ik alles kan.

Ik ken de dieren aan hun vel,

de vogels aan hun notenspel

en ik geef namen aan de man.

De verf die ik morste,

vliegt plotseling in brand,

het pallet valt vlammend uit mijn hand.

De aarde zwaait open,

ik zie haar lopen

in mijn eigen groene gras.

Wil jij soms wit wezen

dat ik je niet ken

en dat ik niet almachtig ben.

Je wilt me vergeten,

mijn vruchten eten

en me bedriegen met je man.

Hier in je lichaam van albast

zie ik de roze vlammen branden

en wat je wilt valt in je handen,

je hebt mijn wereld aangetast.

Daar sluipt de groen gevlekte kat

en heeft de merel al te grazen,

de leguaan gaat bellen blazen,

kruipt op vijf poten over het pad.

De vleesboom rijst het water uit

en rinkelt met zijn glazen snaren.

Er zit in de kristalpilaren

een uil die schuine liedjes fluit.

Hier sta ik voor zot

in mijn kamerjapon,

ik dacht wel dat ik alles kon.

En ben ik verdwenen

dan komt op zijn tenen

de engel met het grote mes.

Mournful Congregation - Mother- Water, The Great Sea Wept

Mother - Water, she arose

She disappeared in the moon

Which had lifted her

Which had given her birth

Masquerading solemn beauty

As in a ray of the moon's light

Doth her pale skin gleam

As an orchid of the deepest seas

(So speak he weeping, and his lady mother heard him

As she sate in the sea-depths bside her aged sire.

Woth speed arose she from the grey sea, like a mist,

And sat her before the face of her weeping sun, and

Stroked him with her hand, and spoke and called on

His name "My child, why weepest thou? What sorrow

Hath entered into thy heart? Speak it forth, hide it

Not in thy mind, that both may know it.")

Een prachtige lovesong:

Millie And Billie

Billie I wonder why are we insane

Will we ever get better

Will we stay the same

Billie I'm worried

Millie don't worry

No one knows our pain

Being in love is crazy not alone that way

I know you're worried today

God made love crazy so he wouldn't feel alone

He was thinking of us he was thinking of us

God made love crazy so he wouldn't feel so alone

Billie my mind seems to wander

To events of a night long ago

Driving alone with our guilt well concealed

In the trunk of your '68 Olds

Millie our world's an asylum

And our minds like you say ain't that straight

But you know and I know our passion's

Not deformed it's true to say

We'll love our lifetime

God made love crazy so he wouldn't feel alone

He was thinking of us he was thinking of us

God made love crazy so he wouldn't feel so alone

Billie I dream of our children

They're frightening and gruesome and sad

And I don't want them growing inside me

They're no price for the love that we have

Oh Millie oh Billie criminally insane

Oh Millie oh Billie

Oh Billie it's fresh in my memory

The night that it had to be done

You with your pick axe and scissors

And you with your shovel and gun

And I liked your late husband Donald

But such torture his memory brings

All sliced up and sealed tight in baggies

Guess love makes you do funny things

Oh Millie oh Billie criminally insane

Oh Millie oh Billie

Ik zit vanavond even lekker ouwe gospel te beluisteren:

Trouble - Psalm 9

The Lord shall endure forever

For He hath prepared His throne for judgment

And they that know Thy name will put their trust in Thee

For Thou Lord have not forsaken those that seek Thee

I will praise Thee O Lord

I will sing praise in Thy name

Don't forget the cry of the humble

Have mercy on me

Put them in fear O Lord

That the nations may know

Let them realize

They are just men, just men

Thou hast rebuked the heathen

Thou hast destroyed the wicked

Won't forget the cry of the humble

Have mercy on me

Put them in fear O Lord

That the nations may know

Let them realize

They are just men, just men

The Lord shall endure forever

For He hath prepared His throne for judgment

And they that know Thy name will put their trust in Thee

For Thou Lord have not forsaken those that seek Thee

Put them in fear O Lord

That the nations may know

Let them realize

They are just men, just men

The Lord will be a refuge

For the oppressed

A refuge in times of trouble

We are not holy men

But at least we try

Try to serve as best we can

Sometimes I'd like to die

Why must you be so angry

Treat each other wrong

The poor will not be forgotten

God loves us all

Crass - Systematic Death

System, system, system.

Death in life.

System, system, system.

The surgeons knife.

Hacking at the cord.

They'll pat him if he's good and they'll beat him if he's bad.

Poor little kiddy, poor little chap,

They'll force feed his mind with their useless crap.

Poor fucking grafter, poor little gent,

Working for the cash that he's already spent.

Working for the cash that he's already spent.

He's selling his life,

She's his loyal wife,

Timid as a mouse,

She's got her little house,

He's got his little car,

And they share the cocktail bar

She likes to cook his meals,

You know, something that appeals.

Sometimes he works til late

So his supper has to wait,

But she doesn't really mind

Cos he's getting overtime.

He likes to put a bit away

Just for that rainy day,

Cos every little counts

As the cost of living mounts.

They do the pools each week

Hoping for that lucky break.

Then they'd take a trip abroad,

Do all the things they can't afford.

She'd really like to have a fur,

He's like a bigger car.

They could buy a bungalow,

With a Georgian door for show.

He might think of leaving work,

But no, he wouldn't like a shirk.

He'd much prefer to stay

And get his honest days pay.

He's got a life of work ahead,

There's no rest for the dead.

She's tried to make it nice,

He's said thankyou once or twice.

System, system, system.

Deprived of any hope.

System, system, system.

Taught they couldn't cope.

System, system, system.

Slaves right from the start.

System, system, system.

Til death do them part.

Poor little fuckers, what a sorry pair,

Had their lives stolen, but they didn't really care.

Poor little darlings, just your ordinary folks,

Victims of the system and it's cruel jokes.

Victims of the system and it's cruel jokes.

The couple views the wreckage

And dreams of home sweet home,

They'd almost paid the mortgage,

Then the system dropped its bomb.

Sia - Drink To Get Drunk

I eat food to satisfy my hunger

I drink water to quench my thirst

I use my mouth and air to blow balloon up

I prick with pin to watch it burst

To make noise I use my breathe

To unlock doors I use a key

When I'm looking for something I use my eyes

I use booze to unlock me

I sweep so I can sleep

I sweep so I can sleep

Sweep Sweep Sweep Sweep Sweep

I wear shoes so I can run

As to avoid the broken glass

I wear the pants because they suit me

And to discourage the pinchin' of ass

I'll tell a joke to make you laugh

I'll close the door to have a cry

They say that change and pain is a positive thing

Have I changed since you died

I Sweep so I can sleep

I Sweep so I can sleep

Sweep Sweep Sweep Sweep Sweep

Don't ask me why I smoke

I don't know

But I drink to get drunk

Don't ask me why I smoke

I don't know

But I drink to get drunk

Don't ask me why I smoke

I don't know

But I drink to get drunk

Don't ask me why I smoke

I don't know

But I drink to get drunk

Linkin Park - Hands Held High

Turn my mic up louder I got to say something

Light weights step to the side when we come in

Feel it in your chest the syllables get pumping

People on the street they panic and start running

Words on loose leaf sheet complete coming

I jump in my mind and summon the rhyme, I'm dumping

Healing the blind I promise to let the sun in

Sick of the dark ways we march to the drum and

Jump when they tell us that they wanna see jumping

Fuck that I wanna see some fists pumping

Risk something, take back what's yours

Say something that you know they might attack you for

Cause I'm sick of being treated like I have before

Like it's stupid standing for what I'm standing for

Like this war's really just a different brand of war

Like it doesn't cater the rich and abandon poor

Like they understand you in the back of the jet

When you can't put gas in your tank

These fuckers are laughing their way to the bank and cashing the cheque

Asking you to have compassion and have some respect

For a leader so nervous in an obvious way

Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay

And the rest of the world watching at the end of the day

In their living room laughing like "what did he say?"

Amen

Amen

Amen

Amen

Amen

In my living room watching but I am not laughing

Cause when it gets tense I know what might happen

World is cold the bold men take action

Have to react or get blown into fractions

Ten years old it's something to see

Another kid my age drugged under a jeep

Taken and bound and found later under a tree

I wonder if he had thought the next one could be me

Do you see the soldiers they're out today

They brush the dust from bullet proof vests away

It's ironic at times like this you pray

But a bomb blew the mosque up yesterday

There's bombs in the buses, bikes, roads

Inside your market, your shops, your clothes

My dad he's got a lot of fear I know

But enough pride inside not to let that show

My brother had a book he would hold with pride

A little red cover with a broken spine

On the back, he hand-wrote a quote inside

When the rich wage war it's the poor who die

Meanwhile, the leader just talks away

Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay

And the rest of the world watching at the end of the day

both scared and angry like "what did he say?"

Amen

Amen

Amen

Amen

Amen

With hands held high into the sky so blue,

As the ocean opens up to swallow you

With hands held high into the sky so blue,

As the ocean opens up to swallow you

With hands held high into the sky so blue,

As the ocean opens up to swallow you

With hands held high into the sky so blue,

As the ocean opens up to swallow you

With hands held high into the sky so blue,

As the ocean opens up to swallow you

With hands held high into the sky so blue,

As the ocean opens up to swallow you.

Alan Parsons Project - Old & Wise

As far as my eyes can see

There are shadows approaching me

And to those I left behind

I wanted you to know

You've always shared my deepest thoughts

You follow where I go

And oh, when I'm old and wise

Bitter words mean little to me

Autumn Winds will blow right through me

And someday in the mist of time

When they asked me if I knew you

I'd smile and say you were a friend of mine

And the sadness would be lifted from my eyes

Oh when I'm old and wise

As far as my eyes can see

There are shadows surrounding me

And to those I leave behind

I want you all to know

You've always shared my darkest hours

I'll miss you when I go

And oh, when I'm old and wise

Heavy words that tossed and blew me

Like Autumn winds will blow right through me

And someday in the mist of time

When they ask you if you knew me

Remember that you were a friend of mine

As the final curtain falls before my eyes

Oh when I'm old and wise

As far as my eyes can see

één van mn favo songs:

John Mayer - Why Georgia

I am driving up 85 in the

kind of morning that lasts all afternoon

just stuck inside the gloom

Four more exits to my apartment but

I am tempted to keep the car in drive

and leave it all behind

Cause I wonder sometimes

about the outcome

of a still verdictless life

Am I living it right?

Am I living it right?

Am I living it right?

Why, why Georgia, why?

I rent a room and I fill the spaces with

wood in places to make it feel like home

but all I feel's alone

It might be a quarter life crisis

or just the stirring in my soul

Either way, I wonder sometimes

about the outcome

of a still verdictless life

Am I living it right?

Am I living it right?

Am I living it right?

Why, why Georgia, why?

So what, so I've got a smile on

but it's hiding the quiet superstitions in my head

Don't believe me

Don't believe me

When I say I've got it down

Everybody is just a stranger but

that's the danger in going my own way

I guess it's the price I have to pay

still "Everything happens for a reason"

is no reason not to ask yourself

If you are living it right

Are you living it right?

Are you living it right?

Why, tell me why

Why, why Georgia why?

Een schitterend nummer, zowel muzikaal als tekst... word elke keer weer stil als ik em hoor..

John Mayer - Dreaming with a broken heart

"Dreaming With A Broken Heart"

When you're dreaming with a broken heart

The waking up is the hardest part

You roll outta bed and down on your knees

And for the moment you can hardly breathe

Wondering was she really here?

Is she standing in my room?

No she's not, 'cause she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone....

When you're dreaming with a broken heart

The giving up is the hardest part

She takes you in with your crying eyes

Then all at once you have to say goodbye

Wondering could you stay my love?

Will you wake up by my side?

No she can't, 'cause she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone....

Oooooooooohhhhhhhhh

Now do i have to fall asleep with roses in my hand

Do i have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?

Do i have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?

Do i have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?

Baby won't you get them if i did?

No you won't, 'cause you're gone, gone, gone, gone, gone....

When you're dreaming with a broken heart

The waking up is the hardest part

Nog een laatste van John Mayer dan.. een 'oudje' van em

John Mayer - No such thing

"Welcome to the real world", she said to me

Condescendingly

Take a seat

Take your life

Plot it out in black and white

Well I never lived the dreams of the prom kings

And the drama queens

I'd like to think the best of me

Is still hiding

Up my sleeve

They love to tell you

Stay inside the lines

That something's better

On the other side

I wanna run through the halls of my high school

I wanna scream at the

Top of my lungs

I just found out there's no such thing as the real world

just a lie you've got to rise above

So the good boys and girls take the so called right track

Faded white hats

Grabbing credits

Maybe transfers

They read all the books but they can't find the answers

And all of our parents

They're getting older

I wonder if they've wished for anything better

While in their memories

Tiny tragedies

They love to tell you

Stay inside the lines

But something's better

On the other side

I wanna run through the halls of my high school

I wanna scream at the

Top of my lungs

I just found out there's no such thing as the real world

Just a lie you got to rise above

I am invincible (x3)

As long as I'm alive

I wanna run through the halls of my high school

I wanna scream at the

Top of my lungs

I just found out there's no such thing as the real world

Just a lie you've got to rise above

I just can't wait til my 10 year reunion

I'm gonna bust down the double doors

And when I stand on these tables before you

You will know what all this time was for

Alice Cooper - Ballad Of Dwight Fry

Mommy where's daddy he's been gone for so long do you think he'll ever come home

I was gone for fourteen days I coulda been gone for more

Held up in the intensive care ward lyin' on the floor

I was gone for all those days but I was not all alone

I made friends with a lot of people in the danger zone

See my lonely life unfold I see it every day see my only mind explode since I've gone away

I think I lost some weight there and I I'm sure I need some rest

Sleepin' don't come very easy in a straight white vest

Should like to see that little children she's only four years old old

I'd give her back all of her playthings even even the ones I stole

See my lonely life unfold I see it everyday see my lonely mind explode when I've gone insane

I wanna get outta here I wanna get outta here I I've gotta I've gotta get outta here

I I gotta get out of here I gotta get out of here I gotta get outta here I gotta get outta here

Ya gotta let me out of here let me outta here I gotta get outta here I gotta get outta here

See my lonely life unfold I see it everyday see my only mind explode blow up in my face

I grabbed my hat and I got my coat and I I ran into the street

I saw a man that was choking there I guess he couldn't breathe

Said to myself this is very strange I'm glad it wasn't me

But now I hear those sirens callin' and so I am not free

I didn't wanna be I didn't wanna be I didn't wanna be see my lonely life unfold I didn't wanna be

Leave me alone I didn't wanna be don't touch me see my lonely mind explode when I've gone insane

Niet op mij toepasbaar, wel voor een vriendin van mij

Bettie Serveert - You've changed

You moved away, from around the corner with somebody new.

Now they say that you are up and coming, but i’m not sure what it is you do.

Last year, from a to z, was a far cry from pain.

But anyone here could ‘ve warned me how long it should’ve stayed the same,

It could’ve stayed the same.

You’ve changed, so have i,

But anyway, i tried to stay and now i wonder why

You’ve changed, and so have i.

Our independent ways of life just never seemed to apply.

And from now on, we carry on, but remember this:

We’re writing our names in the lifes of the ones we miss.

It’s funny how we use are pitty and replace it with joy.

You should’ve been there with me, in new york city, you could ‘ve filled the void

But now, you try to get back at me with that same feeble stare.

You say, ò your life is just some stupid story and no one really caresó,

‘cause no one really cares, that

You’ve changed, well so have i,

But anyway, i tried to stay and now i wonder why you’ve changed, and so have i.

Our independent ways of life just never seemed to apply.

Holy mary, mother of god, forgive our sins .

We never know what it is we’ve got until the cold city wind blows it all in our face,

With a humbling disgrace.

How do you deal with a story like this?

We’re writing our names in the lifes of the ones we miss.

Ne me quitte pas - Jacques Brel

Ne me quitte pas

Il faut oublier

Tout peut s'oublier

Qui s'enfuit déjà

Oublier le temps

Des malentendus

Et le temps perdu

A savoir comment

Oublier ces heures

Qui tuaient parfois

A coups de pourquoi

Le coeur du bonheur

Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas

Moi je t'offrirai

Des perles de pluie

Venues de pays

Où il ne pleut pas

Je creuserai la terre

Jusqu'après ma mort

Pour couvrir ton corps

D'or et de lumière

Je ferai un domaine

Où l'amour sera roi

Où l'amour sera loi

Où tu seras reine

Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas

Je t'inventerai

Des mots insensés

Que tu comprendras

Je te parlerai

De ces amants-là

Qui ont vu deux fois

Leurs coeurs s'embraser

Je te raconterai

L'histoire de ce roi

Mort de n'avoir pas

Pu te rencontrer

Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas

On a vu souvent

Rejaillir le feu

D'un ancien volcan

Qu'on croyait trop vieux

Il est paraît-il

Des terres brûlées

Donnant plus de blé

Qu'un meilleur avril

Et quand vient le soir

Pour qu'un ciel flamboie

Le rouge et le noir

Ne s'épousent-ils pas

Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas

Je ne vais plus pleurer

Je ne vais plus parler

Je me cacherai là

A te regarder

Danser et sourire

Et à t'écouter

Chanter et puis rire

Laisse-moi devenir

L'ombre de ton ombre

L'ombre de ta main

L'ombre de ton chien

Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas

For many days we traveled from a distant place and time

To reach a place they call the planet earth

There was to be a celebration

On the mission of the sacred heart

The planet earth from way up there is beautiful and blue

And floating softly through a rainbow

But when you touch down, things look different here

At the mission of the sacred heart

Watching all the days roll by, who are you and who am I?

How's life on earth?

Livin' on the earth, livin' on the earth, livin' on the earth, livin' on the earth

Well all the stars above where I see fingers down on me

Livin' on the earth, livin' on the earth, livin' on the earth, livin' on the earth

On a dirty worn-out sidewalk, sits a mother with a baby

In her vale of tears she sees no rainbow

And someone's singing from a window

In the mission of the sacred heart

Watching all the days roll by, who are you and who am I?

How's life on earth?

Livin' on the earth, livin' on the earth, livin' on the earth, livin' on the earth

And when the stars above where I see fingers down on me

Livin' on the earth, livin' on the earth, livin' on the earth, livin' on the earth

There's a building on a corner, in a city, in a land

On a place they call the planet earth

My orders are to sit here and watch the world go by

From the mission of the sacred heart

Watching all the days roll by, who are you and who am I?

Watching all the days roll by, who are you and who am I?

How's life on earth? What is it worth?

Now only an expert can deal with the problem

Because half the problem is seeing the problem

And only an expert can deal with the problem

Only an expert can deal with the problem

So if there’s no expert dealing with the problem

It’s really actually twice the problem

Cause only an expert can deal with the problem

Only an expert can deal with the problem

Now in America we like solutions

We like solutions to problems

And there’s so many companies that offer solutions

Companies with names like Pet Solution

The Hair Solution. The Debt Solution. The World Solution. The Sushi Solution.

Companies with experts ready to solve the problems.

Cause only an expert can see there’s a problem

And only an expert can deal with the problem

Only and expert can deal with the problem

Now let’s say you’re invited to be on Oprah

And you don’t have a problem

But you want to go on the show, so you need a problem

So you invent a problem

But if you’re not an expert in problems

You’re probably not going to invent a very plausible problem

And so you’re probably going to get nailed

You’re going to get exposed

You’re going to have to bow down and apologize

And beg for the public’s forgiveness.

Cause only an expert can see there’s a problem

And only an expert can deal with the problem

Only an expert can deal with the problem

Now on these shows, the shows that try to solve your problems

The big question is always “How can I get control?

How can I take control?â€

But don’t forget this is a question for the regular viewer

The person who’s barely getting by.

The person who’s watching shows about people with problems

The person who’s part of the 60% of the U.S. population

1.3 weeks away, 1.3 pay checks away from homelessness.

In other words, a person with problems.

So when experts say, “Let’s get to the root of the problem

Let’s take control of the problem

So if you take control of the problem you can solve the problem.â€

Now often this doesn’t work at all because the situation is completely out of control.

Cause only an expert can deal with the problem

Only an expert can deal with the problem

Only an expert can deal with the problem

So who are these experts?

Experts are usually self-appointed people or elected officials

Or people skilled in sales techniques, trained or self-taught

To focus on things that might be identified as problems.

Now sometimes these things are not actually problems.

But the expert is someone who studies the problem

And tries to solve the problem.

The expert is someone who carries malpractice insurance.

Because often the solution becomes the problem.

Cause only an expert can deal with the problem

Only an expert can deal with the problem

Only an expert can deal with the problem

Now sometimes experts look for weapons.

And sometimes they look everywhere for weapons.

And sometimes when they don’t find any weapons

Sometimes other experts say, “If you haven’t found any weapons

It doesn’t mean there are no weapons.â€

And other experts looking for weapons find things like cleaning fluids.

And refrigerator rods. And small magnets. And they say,

“These things may look like common objects to you

But in our opinion, they could be weapons.

Or they could be used to make weapons.

Or they could be used to ship weapons.

Or to store weapons.â€

Cause only an expert can see they might be weapons

And only an expert can see they might be problems.

Cause only an expert can deal with the problem

Only an expert can deal with the problem

Only an expert can deal with the problem

And sometimes, if it’s really really really hot.

And it’s July in January.

And there’s no more snow and huge waves are wiping out cities.

And hurricanes are everywhere.

And everyone knows it’s a problem.

But if some of the experts say it’s no problem

And other experts claim it’s no problem

Or explain why it’s no problem

Then it’s simply not a problem.

But when an expert says it’s a problem

And makes a movie and wins an Oscar about the problem

Then all the other experts have to agree that it is most likely a problem.

Cause only an expert can deal with the problem

Only an expert can deal with the problem

Only an expert can deal with the problem

And even though a county can invade another country.

And flatten it. And ruin it. And create havoc and civil war in that other country

If the experts say that it’s not a problem

And everyone agrees that they’re experts good at seeing problems

Then invading that country is simply not a problem.

And if a country tortures people

And holds citizens without cause or trial and sets up military tribunals

This is also not a problem.

Unless there’s an expert who says it’s the beginning of a problem.

Cause only an expert can deal with the problem

Only an expert can deal with the problem

Only an expert can deal with the problem

Only an expert can see there’s a problem

And see the problem is half the problem

And only an expert can deal with the problem

Only an expert can deal with the problem

Een prachtnummer van Sia's nieuwe (nog uit te komen) cd:

Sia - I'm In Here

I'm in here, can anybody see me?

Can anybody help?

I'm in here, a prisoner of history,

Can anybody help?

[CHORUS]

Can't you hear my call?

Are you coming to get me now?

I've been waiting for,

You to come rescue me,

I need you to hold,

All of the sadness I can not,

Living inside of me.

I'm in here, I'm trying to tell you something,

Can anybody help?

I'm in here, I'm calling out but you can't hear,

Can anybody help?

[CHORUS]

I'm crying out, I'm breaking down,

I am fearing it all,

Stuck inside these walls,

Tell me there is hope for me

Is anybody out there listening?

[CHORUS] x 2

I'm in here, can anybody see me?

Can anybody help?

Dit was het slotlied van de huwelijksviering die ik eergisteren meemaakte, vetgedrukt waar ik mij over verbaasde:

Wat de toekomst brengen moge

Jacqueline E. van der Waals

Wat de toekomst brengen moge,

Mij geleidt des Heeren hand;

moedig sla ik dus de oogen

naar het onbekende land.

Leer mij volgen zonder vragen;

Vader, wat Gij doet is goed!

Leer mij slechts het heden dragen

met een rustig kalmen moed!

Heer, ik wil Uw liefde loven,

al begrijpt mijn ziel U niet.

Zalig hij, die durft gelooven,

ook wanneer het oog niet ziet.

Schijnen mij Uw wegen duister,

zie, ik vraag U niet: waarom?

Eenmaal zie ik al Uw luister,

als ik in Uw hemel kom!

Laat mij niet mijn lot beslissen:

zoo ik mocht, ik durfde niet.

Ach, hoe zou ik mij vergissen,

Als Gij mij de keuze liet!

Wil mij als een kind behand'len,

dat alleen den weg niet vindt:

neem mijn hand in Uwe handen

en geleid mij als een kind.

Waar de weg mij brengen moge,

aan des Vaders trouwe hand

loop ik met gesloten oogen

naar het onbekende land.

Het is de totale anti-positie van het vrijdenken en ik snap eigenlijk niet dat mijn weldenkende vriendin deze tekst gekozen heeft. Gelukkig hebben we andere dingen toch wel gemeen en is haar geest rijker dan dit.

Sparklehorse-Sad and beuatiful world.

sometimes I get so sad

sometimes you just make me mad

it's a sad and beautiful world

it's a sad and beautiful world

sometimes I just won't go

sometimes I can't say 'no'

it's a sad and beautiful world

it's a sad and beautiful world

sometimes days go speeding past

sometimes this one seems like the last

it's a sad and beautiful world

it's a sad and beautiful world

Het is niet zo dat ik van plan ben om suicide te plegen, wees niet ongerust. Dan zou je dat ook niet op een forum zetten, als je dat echt van plan bent, dunkt me.En Mark Linkous heeft uiteindelijk ook zelfmoord gepleegd, dus dat geeft dit lied een beetje een tragische twist. Maar het doet me iets, het is weinig tekst, maar toch heel krachtig.Ik weet intuitief dat ik als christen niet zonder hoop ben. Dat voelt alleen 99% van de tijd niet zo.
