I've noticed that we all have quotes from songs or books or poems that resonate with us. I'm hoping that we can share these. I, for one, am very interested in understanding how these affect us. Just one quote per response, and share as many as you wish as we go along. I'll start with a song by Nat King Cole. I have many others I'd like to share, many much darker, but this one gets me through difficult times and I'd rather start with a positive one than a negative one.
Pick Yourself Up Pick yourself up... Take a deep breath... Dust yourself off And start all over again Nothing's impossible, I have found For when my chin is on the ground I pick myself up Dust myself off And start all over again Don't lose your confidence If you slip Be grateful for a pleasant trip And pick yourself up Dust yourself off And start all over again Work like a soul inspired Until the battle of the day is won You may be sick and tired But you'll be a man, my son Will you remember the famous men Who had to fall to rise again They picked themselves up Dust themselves off And start'd all over again |

Thanks Fuzzy, i really like that one.
Mine's not so hopeful but it's apt: "Boredom can't kill you, but you might wish it could." |

Love those Beth, Fuzzy and whatever! sooner or later it all gets real, walk on...those who matter don't mind...boredom can't kill you but I wish it could. I feel all of them. OK, this is a dark one. I've been part of some weird, dark experiences in Europe, Asia, and the U.S., sexually, drug-oriented, and psychologically. But ultimately, this is how I used to experience my brain. I apologize in advance if this is too dark.
Extreme ways that help me They help me out late at night Extreme places I had gone That never seen any light Dirty basements, dirty noise Dirty places coming through Extreme worlds alone Then it fell apart, it fell apart Like it always does, always does I closed my eyes and closed myself And closed my world and never open up to anything I had to close down everything I had to close down my mind Too many things could cut me Too much can make me blind I've seen so much in so many places So many heartaches, so many faces So many dirty things You couldn't even believe - Extreme Ways, Moby |

as an addendum...I am not proud of these things and I'm not trying to be sensationalist...they are just part of my experience.

This is from one of my new poems that I wrote a couple days ago . I'm quite fond of this particular part of the poem!
Joy is nigh where great grief waits All hung above in my fates And to this life I see A reflection that is me. All lost is what I see A tune that's longing to be free With joy a distant memory, I fall into the darkened sea. Music is a soothing care Where I follow it near to there A somber sleep with me does fall With voices' shadows me do call. __________________ Wellbutrin XL 300 mg Caplyta 42 mg Ingrezza 80 mg Ativan .5 mg 2x/day Propranolol 20 mg 2x/day Mania (December 2023) Mixed episode/Hypomania (September 2023) Depression, Anxiety and Intrusive thoughts (September 2021) Depression & Psychosis (July/August 2021) Mania (April/May 2019) |

@wolftrap: Hey! I just discovered Moby a few weeks ago! Nice to meet another fan. It's so great to hear dark lyrics set to electronica. I like the sound but it's usually about love, sex or dancing which bore me. I like "Natural Blues" best of all. I just heard it on local radio one night, an alt-rock station and it grabbed me by the jugular. I also like "Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad" and "Find My Baby." Such an interesting artist. I listened to your track and i like it and the video is cool. What other Moby songs do you like?
No worries about being too dark. I think this forum is the space for it. Here's another dark piece from the movie "Natural Born Killers" -- one of my favorite movies of all time:

@BethRags: That's a great quote from The Eagles. Very apt for this over-thinker. |

@whatever2013 One of my favorite Moby songs is "One of These Mornings", specifically the Patti Labelle version that was in the movie Miami Vice directed by Michael Mann. You might want to check out that soundtrack, it's full of great electronic stuff.

Remember not our faulty pieces

Here is one of my poems, written over a decade ago.
The Marsh A chance encounter reverberates throughout a life – not just one, but two, three, four and more, resounding through salt marsh and grass, out to sea where the wind catches waves and rolls with them ‘round the world, back to you, where you stand, face to face with yourself, to see or not see, as the cycle continues. Between the in-tide and the out-tide time coalesces into an instant. Here we fall before our lives, stumbling circles in the mud, knee-deep fishermen without rubber thigh-highs to help keep us dry. |
