I have already said that this year has been a great year of new music for me and some of that music is still being absorbed. This week I wanted to go back to that little album that came out earlier this year called Random Access Memories by the one and only Daft Punk. There is many songs on this album I will be talking about over the next year and beyond. This weeks song I wanted to focus on is call Beyond.
Last week I was up in Seattle area visiting my second family the Jackmans. One of the many things I love doing when visiting the Jackmans is talking with J’anne who is the mother of my good buddy Mike. We talk about all sorts of things and it always seems to go one forever in such a good way. One of the topics that always seems to come up is my love life or the lack there of. She like myself is always trying to figure out why I’m still single. It is really the million dollar question for myself. One of the things she said to me this time around was the fact that I have spent much of my time doing what she refers to as self discovery. Self discovery at a depth that most people don’t. It’s so very true actually and I have put in a lot of work.
This is not to say I’m above anyone else, but it can be hard to find someone vibrating at a similar level to myself. There has been plenty of crap thrown my way some of which I have talked about on here and some that I haven’t. There also have been some bad timing situations as well. There is much I have tried to work through with myself and patterns I have tried to break. There is still much work to do however and it never stops.
This Daft Punk song reminds me of the work I have done inside and out. It also reminds me of what is even beyond even where I have already gone. There is still so much I don’t know about myself and so much that I’m learning on a daily basis. It’s overwhelming somedays and it can definitely feel like its never ending, but for every step of progress made I have always been rewarded with so much greatness.
Lets look at the lyrics to this song and see what I can take away directly:
"Beyond"
Dream,
Beyond dreams
Beyond life you will find your song
(I love this line. We all are trying to find our song so we can resinate our being to the universe.)
Before sound, to be found close your eyes
(Look not outside of yourself to find yourself. Sometimes we must close our eyes and look within ourselves in a different way to find our true self.)
And rise higher, still endless thrill
(Yes, higher. Much higher. The farther you go the more you will push yourself. Where you can take yourself is limitless.)
To the land of love
Beyond love
Come alive,
( Yes, Even beyond love itself you can come alive.)
Angel eye
Forever watching you and I
You are the night, you are the ocean
You are the light behind the cloud
You are the end and the beginning
A world where time is not allowed
There's no such thing as competition
To find our way we lose control
(The only person that you are competing against is yourself. Sometimes you must let go and lose control to really truly find your way to yourself.)
Remember – love's our only mission
This is the journey of the soul
(These two lines are so very important. Love is “our’ only mission and it’s such a wonderful journey of the soul.)
The perfect song is framed with silence
It speaks of places never seen
(It’s amazing how deep this song goes. Silence is something we all shy away from, but in the silence is some of the most beautiful things are waiting to be heard.)
Your home's a promise long forgotten
It is the birthplace of your dreams
(Great things wait for you when you make it all the way back to yourself.)
Yes, there is much beyond where I have been and even where I think I can go. I encourage everyone to push themselves beyond. I’m excited to see where I can go from where I have already gone.
As always I bring this to you with much love and pure D-lite. = )
