anastasia: i pulled that one deep out of the memory banks... lol - i was glad to help - i know that itch.... ive felt it many times before...

anastasia: how about R.E.M - Everybody hurts?

Jim Dandy: perfect.... totally what was needed in my world today

anastasia: This one was actually pretty popular when released - i heard it lots on the regular radio - i was happy to hear her being played and she gained some new fans...



im going to go check Alice by the Coctea Twins now....

anastasia: Thats great! singing whatever needs to come out in the moment... im a big fan of Lorenna McKennit too - and with your recommendation - ill be checking out the others too! thanks! - wait - i think Inkubus Sukkubus sounds familiar... hmmm - lol - im tired too i guess...

anastasia: Well - first - like i said - its not really a bad thing - what i was getting at is their approach to music - its so deep and spiritual - watching their vids and listening to their music as i have for years now - its obvious to me - that this group - among many others, but foremost in my experience - truly submerge their entire being into the music - its not an art - or a performance - its an opening of the soul.... living in that environment - performing and exposing that inner side of things (like the title of the song i posted "towards the within") cant help but force a different view of the world and life on themselves and those that truly listen.... how many people go through life exposed and open - letting others see their inside.... the reality is - not many... so - is it a bad thing they are out of touch with what most call reality? i dont believe so....

anyway - just my thoughts - btw - can you tell i like this group? or maybe its what they do to me that makes me like it so much.....

anastasia: Ive been a fan of this group for years - their music always has found a way inside of me to places i think are mostly untouched. The interview at the end of the song tells a little about their own motivations - and i think they just might be a little out of touch with what we would call reality - but is that actually a bad thing? I enjoy this song - its a great sample of what they do..... i hope you enjoy it and listen...

I know this isnt a religion board of any sort - but this is not a religious post in nature - its about music - this is a song that has meant a great deal to me - and i thought just maybe others could gain something from the message in the music - sometimes a change in perspective is all that we need in order to deal with pain or suffering....and this music in particular seems to help me....

Tigger: I had never seen a video before of IZ playing - but I am a fan -thanks for posting that - the footage at the end was fitting...

Mousetrap: i knew somebody else had to! the name of the song is dragostea din tei by o-zone...

Is it true that this song was a huge hit internationally? Does anybody know? I came across the second vid spoof and got hooked!! I ordered the single which has some remixes that my kids just go nuts to.... anyone outside the USA familiar with it?

furbster: thanks for posting this Enigma song - i havent heard it in ages - when i was in high school - i was a drama freak - and before rehearsals, we would warm up and center by playing music and forming a diamond of people on the stage - we would follow the lead of the head of the diamond as they moved to the music - until the movement led to a turn and the new head of the diamond would take over -

one day - our director was running late and he had asked me to lead an extended warm up - i ran up to the sound booth and turned on a blue wash of lights on the stage - and turned on this song - on repeat - it was one of the most calming 20 mins of my life - thanks for taking me back there....
