The Flaming Lips – Watching The Planets (2009)

Friday, June 18th, 2010

Lyrics:

Oh oh oh, watching the planets
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, watching the planets align

Oh oh oh, what is the reason?
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, I got no reason to lie

Yes yes yes, killing the ego
Yes yes yes alright
Yes yes yes, killing the ego tonight

No no no, I got no secrets
No no no no no
No no no, I got not secrets to hide

Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh

See, the sun’s gonna rise
See, the sun’s gonna rise
And take your fears away
Like the soft tit on the motherbrain

Oh oh oh, finding the answer
Oh oh oh oh oh
Finding that there ain’t no answer to find

Oh oh oh, watching the planets
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, watching the planets align

Oh oh oh, building a fire
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, burning the bible tonight

Oh oh oh, watching the eagle
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, watching the eagle fly

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh

Holst- Mars, the Bringer of War- The Planets Suite

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

English composer Gustav Holst composed The Planets between 1914 and 1916. The Birmingham premiere of the suite took place in 1918, fifteen years before Pluto was discovered. Though the planets became by far the most popular work of Holst’s and one of the most known pieces by an English-born composer, Holst did not consider the piece one of his finest. Partially because of this, he never wrote an eighth movement, though unexpectedly the IAU relegated Pluto from its status as planet proper in 2006.

The Inner Planet Mercury

Wednesday, May 19th, 2010

Mercury is the innermost and smallest planet in the Solar System, orbiting the Sun once every 88 days. The orbit of Mercury has the highest eccentricity of all the Solar System planets, and it has the smallest axial tilt. It completes three rotations about the axis for every two orbits. The perihelion of Mercury’s orbit precesses around the Sun at an excess of 43 arcseconds per century; a phenomenon that was explained in the 20th century by Albert Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity.Mercury is bright when viewed from Earth, ranging from −2.0 to 5.5 in apparent magnitude, but is not easily seen as its greatest angular separation from the Sun is only 28.3°. Since Mercury is normally lost in the glare of the Sun, unless there is a solar eclipse, Mercury can only be viewed in morning or evening twilight.

Inner Universe (full song)

Saturday, April 17th, 2010

Listen, I’ve allowed you guys to comment once again. PLEASE do not let your remarks get out of hand. If you have a disagreement, take it to private messages, not my comment box/videos.

NO, I AM NOT SAYING THESE LYRICS ARE 100% CORRECT. I do realize that there might be (and probably are) mistakes.

LYRICS:

Angely i demony kruzhili nado mnoj
Rassykhali ternii i vechnye puti
Ne znaet schast’je tol’ko tot,
Kto ego zova ponyat’ ne smog…

Naljubuites’, naljubuites’
Aeria gloris, Aeria gloris

I am Calling Calling now, Spirits rise and falling
Soboj ostat’sya dol’she…
Calling Calling, in the depths of longing
Soboj ostat’sya dol’she…

Stand alone… Where was life when it had a meaning…
Stand alone… Nothing’s real anymore and…

…Beskonechnyj beg…
Poka zhiva ya mogu starat’sya na letu ne upast’,
Ne razuchit’sya mechtat’…lyubit’…
…Beskonechnyj beg…

Calling Calling, For the place of knowing
There’s more that what can be linked
Calling Calling, Never will I look away
For what life has left for me
Yearning Yearning, for what’s left of loving

Soboj ostat’sya dol’she…
Calling Calling now, Spirits rise and falling
Soboj ostat’sya dol’she…
Calling Calling, in the depth of longing
Soboj ostat’sya dol’she…

English:
Angels and demons were circling above me
through the thorns to the stars
The only one who doesn’t know happiness
is the one who couldn’t understand its call

I am Calling Calling now, Spirits rise and falling
To stay myself longer…
Calling Calling, in the depth of longing
To stay myself longer…

Stand alone… Where was life when it had a meaning…
Stand alone… Nothing’s real anymore and…

…Endless run…
While I’m alive, I can try not to fall while flying,
Not to forget how to dream… how to love
…Endless run…

Calling Calling, For the place of knowing
There’s more that what can be linked
Calling Calling, Never will I look away
For what life has left for me
Yearning Yearning, for what’s left of loving

To stay myself longer…
Calling Calling now, Spirits rise and falling
To stay myself longer…
Calling Calling, in the depth of longing
To stay myself longer…
