Soap&Skin - Maybe Not (Cat Power Cover)

recorded live @ Arcadium, Graz 04/21/2007
video processed by Anja Plaschg
Lyrics:
There's a dream that I see, I pray it can be
Look cross the land, shake this land
A wish or a command
A dream that I see, don't kill it, it's free
You're just a man, you get what you can
A wish or a command
You've got to choose a wish or command
At the turn of the tide, is withering thee
Remember one thing, the dream you can see
Pray to be, shake this land
A wish or a command
Maybe not with words
Maybe not with a look
But with your mind
Listen to me, don't walk that street
There's always an end to it
Remember one thing, the dream you can see
Pray to be, shake this land
A wish or a command
Maybe not with words
Maybe not with a look
But with your mind

I can't listen too often, the emotions are too intense. But I always come back to this cover. If I could hear this in my last moments, I would feel completely safe and at peace. One of the most painfully beautiful pieces of music ever created. Thank you Anja ❤

young, why am I like this? I'm totally ruined, I'm in pieces... even if I try to just move on, I can't do anything, I can't put my feet out of house, I just want to stay here where I feel safe. am I lazy? or am I depressed? I don't even want to see anyone, I feel better when nobody's home so I can be alone and in silence. I don't want to see people, I don't want to go anywhere. even if it would be for something good to me, I feel better laying in bed and looking at the sky, this way, time goes by. spend the day, the night, and I watch the sun rising... time is flying, and I'm still the same. nothing really changed. I'm still alone, and would rather be a dead person.

I understand
Let us be well.

Bukowski - "I don't hate people, i just feel better when they arent around."
Nothing wrong with you honey.

I've been there, we've all been there... You just have to find what enthousiasms you. It may take time :) But try to stay in constant evolution, constant observation. You'll be ok if you want to (:

You'd better visit a psychologist. Hope, you've already done it)

sublime with the video. she has got the goods that one.

[@Kawashime]

It's a video made by Anja. Check the description. Besides, it shares some of the elements with the video to Sugarbread.

I'm assuming this is a "user made" or fan made video. This is the best one I have seen on youtube.

Try Lisa Gerrard's music her newest album is called Twilight Kingdom. I love her music so much. She also use to be in a band called Dead Can Dance. Her music makes me tear up.

[@AaronStygian]

@kaisersennheiser This was made by Soap&Skin. It's her second channel. :)

[@jerrydonquixote5927]

anyone that can dare criticize any of Anjas poetry or music,, obviously cannot comprehend, the true brilliance and genius that she is,, so stick with Nursery Rhymes, like mary had a little lamb, etc. maybe one day you might understand, but its not likely,,sorry I am truly sorry,,,

[@AlexTrest]

I totally agree with you!!

[@sfghhhcvwtw]

as far i know she does them herself !
