ALICE- Cocteau Twins / Wonderland montage



This is such a gorgeous song.  I love how it captures the wonder & the dark, yet beautiful and divine complexity of imagination and stirs the emotions.  I'm not sure if this song was written with "Alice In Wonderland" in mind per se, but it sure has become a representation of how we now perceive the character of Alice from Lewis Carroll's beloved story books.    I don't even really know what she is singing in the lyrics (suppose I should look them up?  lol) except for the name "Alice", but I choose to feel the song more than anything.  It literally gives me chills and brings me to a state of elation (one of the many benefits of being bipolar, haha).

OK, I looked up the lyrics and they are rather nonsensical.  But really, it's not the lyrics which make this song so powerful, but like I said, the feelings you will undergo just hearing it.  There are several videos made for this song (the most famous being from "The Lovely Bones"), but this one I favor the most.  This video is what captures the essence of it the best, in my opinion.

Don't know where you are But you're my lucky star My moon 🌚 at night through the trees The sun 🌞 beaming right down upon me When I dream of you I'm free Letting me be at peace You could cure all my disease Just lay your hands on me One thing I know is You are gorgeous And if you don't expect too much I can show you what I'm made of Which is splendor and youth and beauty and truth Kiss me you fool! I'm only dreaming Of you My fantasies are a spiral of ecstasy I love you, I think you should know... Just you and me. 💗

The Navajo Know.....

The Navajo teach their children that every morning when the sun comes up, it's a brand new sun.  It's born each morning, it lives for the duration of one day, and in the evening it passes on, never to return again.  As soon as the children are old enough to understand, the adults take them out at dawn and they say "The sun has only one day.  You must live this day in a good way, so that the sun wouldn't have wasted precious time."  Acknowledging the preciousness of each day is a good way to live, a good way to reconnect\with our basic joy.
