Machina/ The Machines of GodI like this cd a lot. SP manage to always sound good, yet never boring or like its already been done. I hope that made sense. I really like Stand Inside Your Love, its such a good song. At the concert I was glad they played a lot of songs from this cd (I say that bc so many people want them to play the old stuff). Would you go to a paul McCartney concert just to hear old Beatle's stuff? Well, maybe you would...maybe I would! haha! I really really really really really really hope this is not their last cd. I have read all types of rumors: that they are breaking up after this tour, that they aren't breaking up, that they are just going to have EPs, that they are going to tour more....I wish I knew what was going on. And I hope whatever it is still involves a group!

The Songs....
Like the pages on the other albums I am going to include a bit of each song: ...You know I'm not dead We all want to hold in the everlasting gaze Enchanted in the rapture of his sentimental sway But underneath the wheels lie the skulls of every c.o.g. The fickle fascination of an everlasting god You know I'm not dead ... the everlasting gaze ...Rain falls on everyone The same old rain And I'm just trying to Walk with you Between the raindrops... raindrops and sunshowers ...You're everything that I want and ask for You're all that I'd dreamed Who wouldn't be the one you love Who wouldn't stand inside your love... stand inside your love ... Radio Please don't go I sit in the dark light To wait for ghost night To bring the past alive To make a toast to life Cause i have survived... i of the mourning ...You're all a part of me now Will our love ever be enough Just in time to prove... the sacred + profane ...Try to hold on To this heart A little bit longer Try to hold on To this love aloud Try to hold on For this heart's A little bit colder Try to hold on To this love... try, try, try ...Let me die For rock n' roll Let me die To save my soul... heavy metal machine ... So cry these tears we'll cry as all We've held so long to fall apart As the curtain falls we bid you all goodnight... this time ...You're never too far Cause anywhere you'd go Even to the stars All you have to do Is play the part of who you are The rest is up to you... the imploding voice ...All is you You are all All with you You in all I want to live I don't want to die I want to live I want to try... glass + the ghost children ... Wound opens Reveal this broken man And soon there's notions of blood on his hands... wound ... This is the song I've been singing my whole life I've been waiting like a knife To cut open your heart And bleed my soul to you I did it all for you... the crying tree of mercury ...The sun is beaming, radiating All the love we are creating We are creating And every light I've found Is every light that's shining down on me I'm never alone... with every light ...You are the sweetest flower That I have ever devoured I ask for nothing given For nothing in return Blue skies bring tears... blue skies bring tears ...A little taste of what may come - A mere glimpse of what has gone Cause for the moment we are free - We seek to bind our release Too young to die too rich to care too fucked to swear that I was there... the age of innocence 
I had a request to transcribe the notes from this CD-so, I hope this is what you wanted. Its the only thing not fully legible...so here you go! and as it is with all things, we wpoke in rhyme and riddle... not for fear of detection, for that had happened very long ago, but rather that those who had secretly wished to be spoken to were... to know that these words were intended for them and theirs only... for lonely isles and windswept curses held the symbols transmitted and divined to hold within, to keep forever,.. only a warm heart and a knowing smile granting entrance to this mystery... for every age held it's oracles and truth tellers, it's false ringers of alarm, and of course the hollowspectres of complacency... so in this we sing the true echoes sown of old cloth, born to stare so ravaged by all they see,.. because truth is madness and madness truth truly revealed and to see is to always see too much... to bear witness to the false and right and relay backwards and forwards that which you know... love the constant signal that heals and promotes as our truth teller sleeps inside furious walls, thrice blessed and crimson curses... his story is the same story, and is with all without ending... a boy and a girl, simple yes but eternal always... ???? plays, the machines shakes voltage, and the gaze is drawn again and again in uncertain times WILL FINISH LATER!!! |
Concert
I saw the Smashing Pumpkins on April 28th, 2000 at the Patriot Center in Fairfaz, VA with Rena. We both had a lot of fun (right Rena???). We got there REALLY early to make sure we could get seats because it was general admission. And we had fun waiting (well, it was a little boring). But at like 5:00 or 5:30 we went and got a pizza and when we came back we saw all of these people looking over the ledge thingy to where the tour buses were trying to see the band members. So we went over there and waiting to try to see someone and ate our pizza, hehe. Then the bus left and every one went back to waiting (and we finished eating;). Then we saw people going down to where the buses were and we looked through my monocle (like binoculars, but one thing) and I saw that Billy Corgan was talking to people. So, we went down there (still eating pizza, haha! it was funny) to get closer. Well, we were being goofy (like usual) and we were in the back saying, "BILLY! will you sign out pizza box?!?!" haha, i bet if he heard us he thought we were on crack or something. But he wasn't giving out autographs:( But i guess thats ok or else there would have been a mob there. Well, we stood in the back and listened to the weirdos ask him questions and then he kinda moved to his left and it looked like he was leaving so like half of the group left. BUT he was just moving over to talk to other people so I went and got closer. And I managed to get close enough to shake his hand, YEAH! My hands were really cold in case you care. Then after he shook my hand he kept talking to people and I was kind of stuck between people. And I felt bad because Rena was in the back and I don't think she could hear and I think she was bored (sorry Rena!). But it was neat to be so close to him. I wanted to say something but I couldn't think of anything good to say, and I was really nervous I would look dumb (now I wish I had just said something!). Then (this is funny!) when he was about to leave this girl says, "Billy! I just want to thank you for your art, it gets me through the hard times!" then this other weirdo girl said, "When I want to kill myself I listen to your music and everything is ok!" and Billy was like, "oooook...I gotta go!". HAHA!!! I was kind of laughing too, not bc this girl tries to kill herself, of course not, but it was such a dumb thing to say and I think thats what he though too. Anyway, I just wanted to document my little story!
