Difficult Music

[Brian Peacock]

Not bad for a blind guy eh?

Rip, Rig, and Panic is my favourite Rahsaan album, definitely up there near the top of my list of jazzers.

How could I forget about this one? Being depressed and sometimes close to suicidal this is a really hard one to listen to. Not to mention the pain in his voice when he sings this. And not to mention that it's even sadder now that he's dead. Still, it's a great song from the time of grunge.



Bury me softly in this womb
I give this part of me for you
Sand rains down and here I sit
Holding rare flowers
In a tomb, in bloom

Down in a hole, and I don't know if I can be saved
See my heart, I decorate it like a grave
You don't understand who they thought I was supposed to be
Look at me now, a man Who won't let himself be

Down in a hole
Feeling so small
Down in a hole
Losing my soul
I'd like to fly
But my wings have been so denied

Down in a hole, and they've put all the stones in their place
I've eaten the sun so my tongue has been burned of the taste
I have been guilty of kicking myself in the teeth
I will speak no more of my feelings beneath

Down in a hole
Feeling so small
Down in a hole
Losing my soul
I'd like to fly
But my wings have been so denied

Bury me softly in this womb
(Oh I want to be inside of you)
I give this part of me for you
(Oh I want to be inside of you)
Sand rains down and here I sit
Holding rare flowers
(Oh I want to be inside of you)
In a tomb
Oh I want to be inside

Down in a hole
Feeling so small
Down in a hole
Losing my soul

Down in a hole
Feeling so small
Down in a hole
Out of control
I'd like to fly
But my wings have been so denied

What's difficult about it?

[pErvinalia]

Read what I wrote, and then read the lyrics.

[Scot Dutchy]

So? Still not difficult. Painful yes.

[pErvinalia]

So you don't like it? There's a surprise..

[Scot Dutchy]

Did he get paid for it?

[pErvinalia]

I presume so. What does that have to do with anything?

[Scot Dutchy]

I am surprised that's all. Amazing what people pay for.

[pErvinalia]

If no one got paid for all the stuff in the world that you don't like, the whole world would barely have any economy at all.

[Scot Dutchy]

Cant see what that has to do with that piece of noise. Is this one of you logical arguments?

[pErvinalia]

Pills. STAT!

[Scot Dutchy]

Go on take them then you must need them.

[cronus]

Nothing is easy. Find the assassins apprentice vid here interesting.

What's difficult about it?

I think you're missing the fact that although the music itself is just ordinary pop or, if you like, pap, rEv found it really difficult to listen to because it so perfectly resonated with the situation he felt himself to be in. To put it in other words, it's not the music itself that is difficult, but the circumstance rEv was in when he listened to it.
