i want more, or do I?
Every once in a while an artist, a song, a lyrical passage comes along and just hits home for me. Typically I'm not really a lyrical guy, my musical selection tends to be void of lyrics usually. That's not by choice really, they just don't put alot in lyrics in beat grooves etc, the sounds I tend to feel at ease to, jump to, swing to, scream to, etc in my collection rarely have lyrics.
Sunday I came across the new Faithless CD - No Roots. I had pondered buying it on Amazon months ago as an import. But I usually have bad luck with amazon and import cds, its always sketchy when they'll actually arrive. So I passed. Seeing it at Borders on Sunday was a pleasant suprise. I really really REALLY love Mass Desctruction, groove wise and more lyrically - its just an excellent piece of writing. After listening to the CD, and I'm not all the way thru it, I've found another great piece of music - I want more. I love a song that just hits it home on what really matters, a good lesson, a pleasant reminder, a great track.
"I Want More Part 1"
[LSK]
Hey friend your misery bewilders me
How come you're never satisfied or gratified
Four walls n' a roof, electricity,
Stable mind, wife and child,
Hot and cold water to run anytime.
But still you, whine.
I want more
A bum could rummage through ya bin
And live like a king
On just one crumb o'ya cake
N'ya say ya life needs fulfilling
Some would give anything to live like you
Shame your mind, don't shine
Like your possessions do.
Whining, complaining all the time,
Don't see no rain on you
What side your bread is buttered on
If only you knew
What d'ya mean
I want more
Yep
I was told as a child,
I want more never gets
Learned to count my blessings
Long before I saw an abacus
So what ya family don't speak
At least they're alive
Show me a man without guilt
Or a soul that ain't lied
You don't know what ya got
Open your eyes, look around
Really, hear me you,
Ain't got no reason to be down
What d'ya mean
I want more
Friend what is it that you seek
What is it that you try to find
Someday I hope you realized
It shined in you all the time.
Hills to climb, sights to see, seas to cross,
Friends to make, hands to shake, the world is yours,
Foods to taste, sounds to hear, love to feel,
Seeds to sew, things to know, fish to reel,
Space to quiz, stones to lift, life's a gift
What d'ya mean
I want more
Yep
What d'ya mean
I want more
Yep
Good stuff. Course while I was at Borders I couldn't help but pick up the latest mixmag, I'm a sucker for mags, especially with ones that come with cd's attached. Mixmag in general isn't a bad mag for dance tunes, DJ, Jockey Slut are much better but I rarely seem them. BTW, nice listing of dance sites here.
