Not to post off topice but...OMG how cute is that? I've never seen this movie, but now I'll be on the hunt for it.

It's called "Black Orpheus". It's a Black Brazilian love story. If you're lucky to find it translated in English then that's cool, but more than likely you should be able to find it with English subtitles.

Thank you again, the movie doesn't appear to be available on the Net; I'll trek down to good ole' blockbuster.

Yes, it's been available on the net for a while. I'm actually in the process of buying the DVD, since the last time I watched it, it was on VHS.

laydown the black muse

It would be nice to hear a mash-up of his recent songs.

I would like to hear Pink Cashmere thrown in the mix. "Oh here I go again falling in love all over. The cycle never ends you just pray you don't get burned."

Back on topic

I love the vibe of Black muse I hope we hear it again soon.

You 2 have peaked my interest and I am gonna check this out soon.

Thanks for the hidden treasure.

Wow. This song sounds like something that you would hear in a poetry club. Awesome.

PEACE is always a better choice than war

at home, abroad, near or far

with all our masterings of superior technology

why are we still destroyers of our ecology?

with all of our sermons in theology

why am I still my brother's adversary?

with all the schools of thought in psychology

why, oh why, hasn't there yet one been established

and foundated in Loveology?

Classrooms of theories

some so boring, dull and dreary

young minds every day rammed

with how to build weapons

erect bombs

trained on how to carry out scams

and how to acquire the trendiest glam

A soft answer, I have been told

will calm the wrath

yet we are commended on how well we have physically fought

great is that warrior son

on each bloody fight that he has won

oh, what a seriously, seriously deadly misconception!

Earth's land is enormous and wide

there is space enough for each to suitably abide

we are all here for a magnificient ride

together we are taking the same journey

blessedly

side-by-side

Yet, we hate so much each other

we think our kind is more fairer

therefore we are entitled to all that is better

we claim with our God we have more favor

that our sermon is the better

that we deserve to be richer

and others to just keep on getting

and remaining

poorer and poorer

our weaknesses we disguise with brutality

bringing forth another fatality

Tell me, why does temptation come so easily

and beckons ever so enticingly

yet righteousness evades

much like a fleeting fantasy?

It's time to lay down the weapons of a needless revolution

pick up instead Love's beckoning evolution

Love's arms are warm

around Love's battlefields do angels swarm

I tell you, there is no mission more vigorously accomplished

than that which Love has purposefully established

Love truly creates no casualty

Love's actions are in rationality

to preserve the sanctity

and ideals of morality

for all humanity

2elijah, you are awesome, thank you. I watched the movie last night and I very much enjoyed the beauty of the scenery and of the innocence of the culture, the classic romantic theme of boy meets girl and the drama which follows is always good for a tear or three. I loved the sunrises and the sunsets. Love in its purest form.

The scene where Orpheus rather wanna buy his guitar back than get the girl a ring, reminds me of :

U Baby, but not like my guitar

H.I.M. Haile Selassie addresses the United Nations October 6th, 1963:

That until the philosophy which holds one race superior

and another inferior

is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned:

That until there are no longer first-class and second class citizens

of any nation;

That until the color of a man's skin is of no more significance

than the color of his eyes;

That until the basic human rights are equally guaranteed to all

without regard to race;

That until that day, the dream of lasting peace and world citizenship

and the rule of international morality

will remain but a fleeting illusion

to be pursued but never attained;

And until the ignoble and unhappy regimes

that hold our brothers in Angola, in Mozambique and in South Africa

in subhuman bondage

have been toppled and destroyed;

Until bigotry and prejudice and malicious and inhuman self-interest

have been replaced by understanding and tolerance and good-will;

Until all Africans stand and speak as free beings

equal in the eyes of all men, as they are in the eyes of Heaven;

Until that day, the African continent will not know peace.

We Africans will fight, if necessary

and we know that we shall win

as we are confident in the victory of good over evil.

A fundamental desire is to live in harmony :

men search in the pages of history for solution

but alas there are none to be found

where are we to look for our survival

The answer to the questions which has never been asked before

we must look first to the almighty God,

who has raised man from dust

& endowed him with intelligence & reasoning

we must put our faith in him

& he will not desert us or permit us

to destroy human kind which he had created

we must look to ourselves into the depths of our souls

we must become members of a new race

THE HUMAN COMMUNITY

IS THE HUMAN BEAUTY

How are you guys hearing this? I thought he only performed it at one of the W2A shows. I heard W2A at the 12/18 NCY show and I loved that. However, I have yet to hear Black Muse.

I actually haven't heard the song, just read the lyrics to it.

BLACK MUSE

where art thou ?

Hell's fuel has caught afire

yonder is burning

and there is no water

I thought I'd journey to the top of the mountain

I knew exactly wherein situated a cooling fountain

I journeyed steadily long and hard

my mind affixed on my reward

to take a long and gulping sip

and my body fully immerse for a dip

As I neared the top of this great hill

suddenly inside I felt a terrible ill

the spot wherein my fountain once did lay

was no longer there to stay

all around were dust and arid land

sweltering heat and scorching sand

it was as if my beloved mountaintop had left in a great big hurry

and all that remained were the skid marks of its rapid scurry

I looked around

where to can I flee?

Is there a haven left for me?

Might there somewhere be a rock

or still a frozen ice block

under which I might dock?

all around is a hellish heat

no cool place to hide my blistery feet

everything is dying

there are no birds a flying

there is no tree

not even the buzzing sound of a single bee

there only is this fire

that every second is burning much hotter

searing carcasses pave the streets

lying next to men are rotting beasts

all ingredients of hell's insipid feast

Man has burned down earth

for the price of greed this is what it's worth

man has smoked down earth

destroyed her ability to keep on giving birth

man has ripped off earth

poked holes in her crevices

and invaded her privacies

man has torched down earth

cast grenades in her sanctuary

in the name of democracy

matricide

too much infanticide

and suicide

resulting only in genocide

no place to turn

nowhere to hide

billions of dollars

yet no place to seek cover

running to the mountain

it too is off searching for shelter

can't even turn on the computer

it too has turned to melting butter

What's the solution to this catastrophe?

what is this price, how much is the fee?

the solution, I feel, lies within you and me

Love for each other is the key

the surrounding womb of Mother Earth must be cherished

adoringly by you and me

mercenaries, stop being so greedy

harvest crops that are for all healthy

find ways for everyone to be satisfactorily wealthy

seek to erase from this land poverty

and invest rather in a system founded on compassion

vested in charity

preservation of life is the key

brothers and sisters all are we

Love is life and life is Love

life is God, the Love within you and me
