From a twisted depths...
From the inner depths of our soul comes the underlying truth of nothingness... Funny enough the sentence that resonates in those depths is a truth a came across on the early and more trouble phases of my adult life : " The point of life is either a lifeless point or a pointless life..."

Black old sun...
Ironic that I live in the UK and never posted about the black old sun... Well a topic more from the past then from the present, and yet today I found this just from surfing from video to video on youtube. Funny how we come upon things, seems all very random, and probably is, but leaves us always with a strange notion that it is not... I guess if you are searching for something without knowing, when you find it, well you will assume fate... Like reading a horoscope, you always find a way to apply those vague sentences in your life... But this is off topic.
Listen to this ...
In my eyes, in disposed,
In disguise:as no one knows
Hides the face Lies
The snake, the sun
In my disgrace
Boiling heat, Summer stench
'Neath the black
The sky looks dead
Call my name
Through the cream
And I'll hear you
Scream again
Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun
Won't you come
Won't you come
Stuttering
Cold and damp
Steal the warm wind
Tired friend
Times are gone
For honest men
And sometimes
Far too long
For snakes
In my shoes
A-walking sleep
And my youth
I pray to keep
Heaven send, Hell away
No one sings
Like you anymore
Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun
Won't you come
Won't you come
Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun
Won't you come
Won't you come
Hang my head
Drown my fear
Till you all just
Disappear
Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun
Won't you come
Won't you come
What did you feel? Nostalgia? Perhaps, at least for the older reader that grew up listening to this song... I feel stored pain, of past times, of things that the black old sun did wash away, things that my world thinks was washed away... It is funny to live in a way that even things that were washed away still linger in your existence, things that shape you, damage you, the things that ultimately define you... And yet, what you want is simply for this black old sun to come....

To be a friend....
Well hello world, I thought about writing this post during this week but it was quite a busy week. No excuse but I still wanted to say it. Funny enough reading a blog from someone who made a comment on mine made me realise I should write it.
I like to give credit to a book I read some years back that talk about this topic, this is my view, but I can't really say I was not influenced by this view, so kudos for Miguel Esteves Cardoso.
That said, let's make a scenario, your best friend cheats on his girlfriend and you are confronted with this by a 3rd person saying how bad of a person he is. What do you do? Well the question is are you a real friend, or do you just use this word for no reason?
Morally I would say he is wrong, so if it was for another person I would probably say that, for a friend I would defend him, highlighting the circumstances and trying to justify it as reasonable. Never putting in question my friend. This is not to say I wouldn't tell him off, but the negatives I would only relay to him. This is the thing friends supply advice, but also support, as a friend I am bias, and I am proud to be bias. Saying stuff like "I am really his friend, but on that he is a prick" doesn't reveal a real friend in my view.
This is why you should be careful with the use of the word friend, most people you know are not friend just acquaintances, you should not make the border of this blurred, the risk is losing any notion of friendship. To be friends you need to know and trust the person, and accept them with their faults and qualities. Friends are the family that you choose, so choose wisely.
Ask yourself this question, do you trust the person to do stuff for them with now explanation? Well I would for a friend, ask the questions later...
This is not to say that friendship doesn't end, so if you feel that person is not your friend, do die trying to make it so... It is two ways, and you might carry some good feelings to the end of your life about someone that was your friend, sometimes to be a friend you need to let go...
As for the original trigger, of this post, this lyric which has more to it than a catchy chorus:
You have my heart
And we'll never be worlds apart
Maybe in magazines
But you'll still be my star
Baby ?cause in the dark
You can't see shiny cars
And that's when you need me there
With you I'll always share
Because
When the sun shines, we?ll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be a friend
Took an oath, I'ma stick it out till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
(Ella ella, eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella, eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella, eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella, eh eh eh, eh eh eh)
These fancy things, will never come in between
You're part of my entity, here for infinity
When the war has took it's part
When the world has dealt it's cards
If the hand is hard, together we'll mend your heart
Because
When the sun shines, we?ll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be a friend
Took an oath, I'ma stick it out till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
(Ella ella, eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella, eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella, eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella, eh eh eh, eh eh eh)
You can run into my arms
It's okay don't be alarmed
Come here to me
There's no distance in between our love
So go on and let the rain pour
I'll be all you need and more
Because
When the sun shines, we?ll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be a friend
Took an oath, I'ma stick it out till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
(Ella ella, eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella, eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella, eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella, eh eh eh, eh eh eh)
It's raining
Ooh baby it's raining
Baby come here to me
Come here to me
It's raining
Ooh baby it's raining
You can always come here to me
Come here to me
It?s pouring rain
It?s pouring rain
Come here to me
Come here to me
