"Tales From Topographic Oceans" is a beautiful piece of art!

[Floogeldy]

I couldn't find the original post. Heh heh. Sorry!

Words cannot describe. Yes is magnificent on the recording. The recurring themes are hypnotic, soothing, and at various times, frenetic. It is all about creativity. TFTO demonstrates the prolific possibilities of the human heart and soul, if you just tap into it.

. . . you best do yourself A FAVOR and find out!

I mean it.

Unfuck yourself!

The Revealing Science of God

Anderson/Howe/Squire/Wakeman/White

(The Revealing Science of God can be seen as an ever-opening flower in which simple truths emerge examining the complexities and magic of the past and how we should not forget the song that has been left to us to hear. The knowledge of God is a search, constant and clear.)

Dawn of the light lying between the silent and sold sources
Chased amid fusions of wonder
In moments hardly seen forgotten

Coloured in pastures of chance dancing
Leaves cast spells of challenge
Amused but real in thought
We fled from the sea, whole

Dawn of thought transfered through moments
Of days undersearching Earth
Revealing corridors of time provoking memories
Disjointed but with purpose

Craving penetrations offer links
With the self instructors sharp and tender love
As we took to the air
A picture of distance

Dawn of our power we amuse redescending
As fast as misused expression
As only to teach love as to reveal passion
Chasing late into corners

And we danced from the ocean

Dawn of love sent within us
Colours of awakening
Among the many won't to follow
Only tunes of a different age

As the links span our endless caresses
For the freedom of life everlasting

Talk to the sunlight caller
Soft summer mover, distance mine

Called out a tune but I never saw the face
Heard but not replaced
I ventured to talk
But I never lost my place

Cast out a spell rendered for the light of day
Lost in lights array
I ventured to see
As the sound began to play

What happened to this song
We once knew so well?
Signed promise for moments
Caught within the spell

I must have waited all my life for this
Moment, moment

The future poised with the splendour just begun
The light we were as one
And crowded through the curtains
Of liquid into sun

And for a moment when our world had filled the skies
Magic turned our eyes
To feast on the treasure
Set for our strange device

What happened to wonders we once knew so well?
Did we forget what happened?
Surely we can tell
We must have waited all our lives for this
Moment, moment, moment

Starlight movement
Reasons
Release forward
Tallest rainbow
Sun shower
Seasons
Life flower
Reasons

They move fast, they tell me
But I just can't believe that I can feel it
There's someone to tell you
Amid the challenge we look around in unison with you

Getting over overhanging trees
Let them rape the forest
Thoughts would send our fusion
Clearly to be home

Getting over wars we do not mean
Or so it seems so clearly
Sheltered with our passion
Clearly to be home

They move fast, they tell me,
But I just can't believe they really mean to
There's someone to tell you
And I just can't believe our song will leave you


Skyline teacher
Warland seeker
Send out poison
Cast iron leader

And through the rhythm
Of moving slowly
Sent through the rhythm
Work out the story

Move over glory to sons
Of old fighters past

Young christians see it
From the beginning
Old people feel it
That's what they're saying

Move over glory to sons
Of old fighters past

They move fast, they tell me
But I just can't believe they really mean to
There's someone, to tell you
A course towards a universal season

Getting over overhanging trees
Let them rape the forest
They might stand and leave them
Clearly to be home

Getting over wars we do not mean
We charm, the movement suffers
Call out all our memories
Clearly to be home

We've moved fast
We need love
A part we offer
Is our only freedom

What happened to this song we once knew so well?
Signed promise for moments caught within the spell
We must have waited all our lives for this
Moment, moment

Past present movers moments we'll process the future
But only through him we know
Send flowered rainbows

Apiece apart chased flowers of the dark and lights of songs
To follow and show all we feel for and know of

Cast round

You seekers of the truth accepting that reason will relive
And breathe and hope and chase and love
For you, and you, and you.

3. Nous Sommes Du Soleil

We love when we play.

One of my all time favorite zone-out tunes.
