    Lyrics:
    Standing up on solid ground
    The earth below my feet's still falling down
    The whispers & the creaks aren't sounds
    They're voices in my head
    That still surround (Saying)
    All that I needed
    I need your love
    They said time isn't waiting for you
    All that I needed
    I need your love
    They said time isn't waiting for you
    Close my eyes & count to ten
    The walls on either side are closing in
    Can you hear my thoughts right now
    Paranoia, ghost & other sounds (Saying)
    All that I needed
    I need your love
    They said time isn't waiting for you
    All that I needed
    I need your love
    They said time isn't waiting for you
    I said that I won't run
    I said to hold my tongue
    And do I think aloud
    Wait can you hear me now
    I said that I won't run
    I said to hold my tongue
    And do I think aloud
    Wait can you hear me now

      They are artists. Lets not pigeonhole them as simply musicians. Maybe they are even leaders. Unfortunately they pigeonhole themselves so they do not get to rise to those lofty heights.

      Love this video. The monsters in the mind . The guy is reaching adulthood where the monsters really come to bear. He runs and turns a corner. It dawns on him that he is in the presence of the biggest monster on the wall but it also appears that the monster might be protecting him. This monster is the church perhaps. No, this is not protection. He is being lured into a trap. He escapes in the nick of time. Finally a young child hands him a drawing of a monster. That child is him as the child disappears. To erase the monsters in our mind we need to time travel back. Our memory allows us to do just that. We can rewrite our history. We largely remember our dark past and those strong feelings. We can reframe our past. The wrong can lead us to the right. Our job now is to not repeat history. We are now wise. We were abused but we are not victims. We are leaders. We right the wrong.

    While, according to Wikipedia at least, the song was written for paranoia, it works equally well for really anything where you feel trapped in your own head by your thoughts and feel like your struggle to keep afloat is crumbling. Absolutely beautiful song and brings me to tears each time.

    • @Britbikerss
      @Britbikerss 8 лет назад +4

      +neidajr
      Hey ~
      A Baby Boomer is one that was born form 1945 to 1960 ~ Basically we are those old folks that grew up in the 1960 and 1970s ~
      When music became something else and the classic rock evolved ~ with folks like Robert Plant, Bob Dylan, David Bowie and Eric Clapton to name a few!
      HTH

    • @Britbikerss
      @Britbikerss 8 лет назад +5

      +SailorMorgy28

      Cheers ~ the point I was making is that even us now aging blokes and girls ~ are still very aware of the creativity and majestic talents of musicians today ~ ( Not locked into sounds of 40 years ago! )

    Mate ~ I figure many of us "Baby Boomers " are socially expected to be locked into the music of the 60-70s ~ and that we are dedicated to folks like the Eagles and The Beatles ~
    It is not this blokes choice as sure I reckon Neil Young and mirid of so many others were legends ~ But ~
    When we have giant talents and musical skills like this ~ why would ~ even Baby Boomers stayed locked into the 70s ~
    Excellent sounds mate ! Brilliant ~
