LIVE – The Beauty Of Gray If i told you he was your brother / We could reminisce / Then you would go about your day / If I said you ought to give him / Some of your water / You'd shake your canteen and walk

"The Beauty of Grey" by +Live+
The message is still just as poignant as ever.

[video and lyrics in the comments]

YouTube video by Raphael Weinroth-Browne Raphael Weinroth-Browne - Lifeblood (Official Video)

Beautiful new single from cellist Raphael Weinroth-Browne
with an amazingly produced video.

“... I’ve spent my life chasing these fleeting moments where the music seems to play itself and have attempted to capture this in my performance on Lifeblood.”

For this cover image, I fed the complete lyrics into Google Gemini and it took a pretty decent stab at it.

Falling, falling, falling, fall into me
I hear echoes of my speech
And I see shadows of my walk
I feel the past
I always look backwards

[II]
My heart is drifting through all shades of green
My head is thinking through meadows of the sea
Lonely as I am

Expanding the scene where I've never (ever) been
A promise at last to call back the past
To finish off with you - I'm finishing off with you

Sliding down

I listened to the sound of your airs
We’re watching stone saints fall over
While the black crows will be taking to the sky

Falling, falling, falling, fall into me
I hear echoes of my speech
And I see shadows of my walk
I feel the past
I always look backwards

Falling, falling, falling, fall into me
I hear echoes of my speech
And I see shadows of my walk
I feel the past
I always look backwards

Fighting, floating
Tasting blood in my mouth
Ancient damp painting ruins
Feel the rising chill

Heroes For Ghosts

[I]
Fading falling
Slow winds breaking soundscapes
And waves of velvet sweeping
Into me

You moved all that was in my world
And showed me all the new colours
In my universe where storms run

The Gathering - Heroes For Ghosts

My heart is drifting through all shades of green
My head is thinking through meadows of the sea
Lonely as I am

A great atmospheric song, that builds slowly like wave, crashing down, then slowly retreating.

If it all comes out
We could never take it back
Where does that leave us then?
One more step, in the wrong direction

Until it all, all comes crashing down

Promise me this, sever the ties and rise up
Don’t resist, persist
Or you’ll never grow to see the waking light

Now don't hang on
Nothin' lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away
And all your money won't another minute buy

Chris Cornell (7/20/1964 - 5/18/2017) RIP

You say that midnight opens its arms to me
Leaving you alone, and then I fly so far away
Until the light blurs my vision and I have nowhere to roam
I only love you when I'm down

YouTube video by Toy Matinee - Topic Blank Page

Kevin Gilbert (11/20/1966 - 5/18/1996) RIP

Well something snaps and then you learn
Chasing words is no concern
Then one by one they die and turn
To mild regret and hopeless yearn

Blank page
Numbly staring up at me
Escaping by apology
From a blank page left unsigned

YouTube video by Raphael Weinroth-Browne Raphael Weinroth-Browne - Speed of Light (Official Video)

New song from Raphael Weinroth-Browne - Speed of Light, a visceral reworking of J.S. Bach’s Prelude to the G Major Cello Suite.

Prog Metal Cello perhaps? 🤘

A few years after it was posted on YouTube, the composer of the original found it and commented on it:
@artz1234 - 11 years ago
This version sure does have the same level of 'not so subtle' madness and playfulness I had when I composed the theme. Good one!

YouTube video by Wheel Band Wheel - Wheel

A great track from Finnish prog-metal band Wheel's first full length album, Moving Backwards.

Just like back in 84
There are eyes on every wall
It might be time to learn to crawl
When privacy becomes a product to be traded for another

They know everything about you

A little 5/4 trivia:
The theme music for the long-running TV series Mission: Impossible is a distinctive tune written in the uncommon 5/4 time signature. Not only does the 5/4 time signature make the composition unique, the meter (dash dash, dot dot) is Morse Code for the letters M and I.

This little guy cracks me up. 🤣

My LLM codegen workflow atm A detailed walkthrough of my current workflow for using LLms to build software, from brainstorming through planning and execution.

I'd agree (at this point so far). For code assist or gening up something small, it is pretty interesting. I've only dipped into it a little bit.

This guy has an interesting workflow. Not sure I could or would want to work like this though.
