I promise you I will not turn my blog into one of those lyric-quoting mish-mashes. You know the ones because a) you either have one or b) you've virtually tripped over the dripping teen-age angst that so commonly exhibits itself as quoting song lyrics. I have nothing against the practice per se; it's just not who I usually am.
Just thought this was interesting. The album that originally featured this song was released two years before I was born (and T-bone's no spring chicken). It was the last album of original material released by the band (Let It Be), which you may have heard of before (The Beatles). After not having heard it for years, it struck me as being a perfect description of blogging (at least the diary-type of blog). Maybe even more, it kind of describes the Internet in general. To wit, some excerpts (as reported by this site):
"Across the Universe"
Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup,
They slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my open mind,
Possessing and caressing me.
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Images of broken light which dance before me like a million
eyes,
That call me on and on across the universe,
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box they
Tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe
Sounds of laughter shades of earth are ringing
Through my open views inviting and inciting me
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a
Million suns, it calls me on and on
Across the universe.
By chance this song doesn't strike you as a description of the Internet, well, then, I politely ask you to go Google yourself!
I really like that song. Hadn't thought of it that way but it's an interesting idea.
ha. OK, I'm guilty of said practice. I just can't help myself sometimes. But it's my blog and I'll quote if I want to, quote if I want to....
:)
very interesting! sometimes lyrics just get ya and you gotta do what you gotta do. these were very fitting, indeed!
Uh oh, (raising hand) I'm your huckleberry, too!
I never listened to that song's lyrics. I always focused on the melody, which I found to be kind of annoying. But thanks for getting us to look at it in a new way.
