Still an awful mess of a song. 

Still an awful mess of a song. 

Hi everyone, 
So, Cyberraga will be 20 years this year. I've sometimes tried to find more information on where exactly the Sanskrit lyrics came from, but have never actually found the source... Can anyone point me to the original text? 
The same with Shanti, and that little bit she whispers in Sanskrit on To Have And Not To Hold... Never been able to find the lyrics portion of that phrase or the translation. 
Any help would be much appreciated. 
P. 

Couldn't give a crap about her personal life, celebrity, back catalogue or any of that stuff. Actually, I don't even know why I'm here sometimes. If it's a few hours a week and there are reasonable adjustments then possibly... Although not sure my skill set is on her radar.
I'd be bored if it's anything to do with music, videos or images. Colour therapy workshops perhaps, for her staff. I don't tolerate rudeness, shouting or invasion of personal space and I'm usually direct and blunt in my interactions. 
If she has an interest in neurodiversity then yes, I'm sure we could have a conversation. I'd like to get her working with autism charities and to see her doing more with the neurodiverse community in terms of the arts and creative therapies. Otherwise I'm not setting aside my own work for anyone else. 

Some good songs for the good times and some good songs for the bad times.

Some good songs for the good times and some good songs for the bad times. 

Quite some songs over the years. 
Who's That Girl reminds me of the summer of my childhood, growing up in Trinidad and going out with my older brother and sister, being with my aunties, dancing with my mom. 
La Isla Bonita reminds me of the island I left in 1988 when I moved to the UK aged 9.
Like A Prayer (more it's visuals) appealed a child who was questioning things at a young age; religion, racial identity and discrimination. 
Oh Father stood out for me, always, because of the strained relationship I had with my father figures growing up and then leaving home at an early age. 
Love Tried to Welcome Me because I always thought I'd be alone. 
Take A Bow and I Want You were quite meaningful because I had strong feelings for people I couldn't be with. 
You'll See was my anthem when I left home. I thought I'd be strong. 
Frozen was like an awakening, stirring feelings to want to experiment with sound. I was in love with its grand production and visuals. 
Drowned World, again because I always felt alone in a crowded room. 
Mer Girl's lyrics were fascinating. Like Promise to Try and Inside of Me, they gave an insight into someone still dealing with grief. Although I hadn't yet experienced such a loss, I would later learn through therapy that I was grieving the loss of my childhood which ended too soon. 
The Power of Goodbye. I always understood the song to be more about death than a relationship. It's stronger in the demo I think. To be so at a loss, than you would be ready to give it all up. Been there many times over. Same with Paradise and Nobody's Perfect. 
Mother And Father for personal reasons. There was a time I was happy in my life, when I had both mother and father. And I questioned why they couldn't be with me. 
Nothing Fails, X-Static Process, Intervention and Easy Ride all appealed to me as someone constantly questioning things and trying to understand why I feel the way I do. 
Never Let You Go is a song I felt close to, I could close my eyes and just let it take me. Standing in my own darkness and feeling the music sway me. 
I Fucked Up. I do it a lot. 
Tragic Girl because I can be in my mind. 
Those are the songs that mean the most to me. Other notable ones are Live To Tell, I'll Remember, Something To Remember, Little Girl, Spanish Eyes, Dear Jessie, Isaac, Ariosa, Swim, Supernatural, Secret Garden, Sanctuary, The Beast Within, Act of Contrition and Be Careful with My Heart. 

Reworked material would be something I'd be interested in. In the studio with real instruments and her real singing voice and she needs a proper bass guitarist like Guy Pratt when she does Like A Prayer. 

Queen Latifah remixed Keep It Together, but it's unreleased.

Awesome articel, and so true, haters need to retire, they're utterly irrelevent. 
M reigns.

Be careful with my fart, you could break it. Don't take my fart for granted, things could change.

If you like the music, then what does it matter if it's a hit or not? Does her commercial success validate you in some way? 

Hmmm...Citzen Kane or Fast and Furious, let me think....
