Song Title: Parabola
We barely remember who or what came before this precious moment,
We are choosing to be here right now. Hold on, stay inside
This holy reality, this holy experience.
Choosing to be here in
This body. This body holding me. Be my reminder here that I am not alone in
This body, this body holding me, feeling eternal
All this pain is an illusion.
Artist: Tool
Song Title: Aniema
Some say the end is near.
Some say we'll see armageddon soon.
I certainly hope we will.
I sure could use a vacation from this
Bullshit...

Song Title: Bleak
Beating,
Heart still beating for the cause
Feeding,
Soul still feeding on the loss
Aching,
Limbs are aching from the rush
Fading,
You are fading from my sight
Break of morning, coldness lingers on
Shroud me into nightmares of the sun
Moving,
I am moving closer to your side
Luring,
You are luring me into the night
Crying,
Who is crying for you here
Dying,
I am dying fast inside your tears
Rock is so much fun. That's what it's all about -- filling up the chest cavities and empty kneecaps and elbows.
-- Jim Hendrix
Blues is easy to play, but hard to feel.
-- Jimi Hendrix, quoted in: Charles Shaar Murray, Crosstown Traffic (1989)
Music is a safe type of high. It's more the way it was supposed to be. That's where highness came, I guess, from anyway. It's nothing but rhythm and motion.
-- Jimi Hendrix
I've been imitated so well I've heard people copy my mistakes.
-- Jimi Hendrix

Song Title: And the wind cries Mary
And the wind whispers Mary.
A broom is drearily sweeping
Up the broken pieces of yesterday's life.
Somewhere a Queen is weeping,
Somewhere a King has no wife.
And the wind screams Mary.
Oh oh yeah
Will the wind ever remember
The names it has blown in the past
With this crutch, its old age and its wisdom
It whispers, "No, this will be the last."
And the wind cries Mary.
Of course, I do occasionally arouse primeval instincts, but I mean, most men can do that. They can't do it to so many. I just happen to be able to do it to several thousand people. It's fun to do that.
-- Mick Jagger (Lead Vocals: Rolling Stones)
I like our music to feel three-dimensional. It's about trying to invoke emotions in people, I suppose. You feel larger than life in some sort of way. Let's face it none of us in Pink Floyd are technically brilliant musicians, with great chops who can change rhythms, fifteen or sixteen bars here, there and everywhere. And we're not terribly good at complicated chord structures. A lot of it is just very simple stuff dressed up. We stopped trying to make overtly 'spacey' music and trip people out in that way in the 60's. But that image hangs on and we can't seem to get shot of it.
-- Dave Gilmour, in: Musician (Dec. 1982) (Lead Guitarist, Vocals for Pink Floyd)
"We never thought of ourselves as a 'heavy metal band' we've always regarded ourselves as a rock band. The big difference we've always thought we had a lot more feel for rock, we always went out for songs, not riffs or heavy, heavy sounds. But every now and again it does come on like a sledge hammer."
-- Angus Young, (guitarist with AC/DC)
“The worst crime is faking it” -- Kurt Cobain, Lead Vocals Guitarists for Nirvana
“I really haven't had that exciting of a life. There are a lot of things I wish I would have done, instead of just sitting around and complaining about having a boring life. So I pretty much like to make it up. I'd rather tell a story about somebody else.” -- Kurt Cobain, Lead Vocals Guitarists for Nirvana
“I'd rather be hated for hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not.” -- Kurt Cobain, Lead Vocals Guitarists for Nirvana

Song Title: Come as you are
Come as you are, as you were,
As I want you to be
As a friend, as a friend, as an old enemy
Take your time, hurry up
The choice is yours, don't be late
Take a rest as a friend as an old memoria
Come dowsed in mud, soaked in bleach
As I want you to be
As a trend, as a friend, as an old memoria
And I swear that I don't have a gun
No I don't have a gun
My vocation is more in composition really than anything else -- building up harmonies using the guitar, orchestrating the guitar like an army, a guitar army.
-- Jimmy Page, lead guitarist, Led Zeppelin
I always thought the good thing about the guitar was that they didn't teach it in school.
-- Jimmy Page, lead guitarist, Led Zeppelin
Artist: Metallica
Song Title: Master of Puppets
Master of puppets I'm pulling your strings
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master x2
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master x2
Artist: the Doors
Song Title: the end
He took a face from the ancient gallery
And he walked on down the hall
He went into the room where his sister lived, and...then he
Paid a visit to his brother, and then he
He walked on down the hall, and
And he came to a door...and he looked inside
Father, yes son, I want to kill you
Mother...I want to...fuck you
