Yoko Kanno - Beauty Is Within Us

QuoteO mother dear
Look what you've done
To your forlorn and once beloved son
Why was I born at all?
O mother dear
I'm such a freak
A mutant man, a woman underneath
Why was I born at all?

It's you I blame for all the shame
This anguish and this aching
The mirror turned against the wall
Myself despised, forsaken

*You say, "Beauty is within us, your mother knows"
"There's a beauty that's within us, just like a rose"
You say, "beauty is within us, so let it grow"
But it's grown so dark and ugly

O mother dear
I curse you so
For breathing life into your wretched son
Why were you born at all?
O mother dear
I love you so
O please forgive this anger in my soul
Without you I'm alone

It's me who's been eternally damned
Trapped inside this cage, a ruined man
All damaged and depraved

O mother dear
This misery
Has settled like a stain upon my skin
- a vast unspoken sin

And my mistake is much too late
But your mistake was trusting
That out of grief, a goodness comes
And love comes out of lusting

*You say, "Beauty is within us, your mother knows"
"There's a beauty that's within us, just like a rose"
You say, "beauty is within us, so let it grow"
But it's grown so dark and ugly

You say, "Beauty is within us, your mother knows"
"There's a beauty that's within us, just like a rose"
You say, "Beauty is within us, so let it grow"
But it's grown so dark I can not see you anymore

"O beauty is within us, mother knows"
"O beauty is within us, like a rose"
"O beauty is within us, let it grow"
O mother dear, let me out of here!

Few bands would ever be as ignored in their time, but so huge later on as VU, except perhaps Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels.
FIGHT APATHY!, or don't...

Leonard Cohen
I'm your man

At Uni (UK) 30 yrs ago pre transition I use to listen to Cohen with a bottle of Scotch cry and pass out.
Now a days I listen to Cohen with a bottle of Red wine, cry and pass out

I'm soo glad I've matured
