or the treble with the music...
The people are catching up to the symbols and the signs, the ancient ones which keep popping up in the music industry, notables which are not noble anymore, key note which are all, either keen to distract you from the music, or able to attract you deeper into its spirit.
I'm sure you know that every word in a language has its base root in an ancient language (mostly Greek or Latin), and same with music. Rarely you form a word from a modern language, unless some do it for fun, combining one of the hundreds of languages around. In music's case, however, you may hear people getting inspired from one culture or another, one beat from here, one from there, and such. The words have meanings, and, as lyrics they form an intricate part of a song, whereas beats have influence, making that respective song grow on you, if not make you instantly like you.
But there is one other aspect, the visual. If you don't have what it takes these days, if you don't have an image to sell yourself on to the public, or on the other hand, if you have a most "sexy" figure, you can forget about having a voice in most cases. It's in these instance, these "most cases" that you have to be skeptical about as to where it leads you, the fans... more likely, where it misleads you or your fans.
The problem with this concept is not new, yet it has just exploded on the scene over the past 20 years 100 times over. Ever since ancient times, the "sexyness" had to be that friendly adjective of the music on stage. These days, however, it seems that ancient symbols and signs accompany a performance on stage or on a video clip on the TV. You cannot sell a record without having it air on TV, and if it's not raunchy enough, it won't make it to airtime. It seems like fans are being forgotten by the music industry, as it's all about the artist's appeal (in their opinion).
You see this phenomenon everywhere these days, whether on award shows or music contests or festivals, and you wonder what's become of our music. Is it the sign of our times, or are the signs dancing and toying with our times?
In ancient times, everyone seemed to worship either God or some other idols; there were 2 sides. Religions have been created to divide us throughout the ages. Music was meant to be a uniting, peaceful factor. However, if it wasn't rooted in good, it had to be influenced by evil, leaving a musician dead, a fan committing suicide, a fan misled, other turned off, others disliking a singer because of a behavior (either on stage or off), etc.
We never realize how times have changed, but the most important realization is just beginning to come out of the water, that sea of musical notes where singers drown themselves just because of the price they "want" or have to pay in order to achieve stardom or get their record on the market. Someone realizes it, and is manipulating us, and that is Satan. Unmistakably, the ancient symbols of pyramids, the swastikas, the pentagrams, the serpent, inverted crosses or any other crosses, the dragons, the "other gods" rituals, they have never left our lives. The evil one knows how to achieve its goal of perverting the music, and the conductors of the music industries, or those behind it, know how to tempt us, how to throw impure appetizers instead of pure music notes for the sake of making more money.
The clef key resembles the serpent, just like the medicine symbol, or the dollar sign, for example. It is no coincidence that it was put at the beginning of each stave, whereas just over a few centuries ago it didn't exist. It's another reminder of who we can fall prey to, if we give in too much to the handlers, the gurus, the controllers of this world, all puppets of the evil one.
Why place a spec of dirt in place of a musical note?
It is not people we should be aware of, it's the symbols and the signs (just like traffic signs put out there to warn us of dangers ahead) that we have to be mindful of who's ahead or what's ahead. It is all about mind-control, and it is imperative not to play their game, just as it is important not to hate on people, but to identify the bad from the good side. People don't make the world, but God can make it or remake it any time, while the evil one tries to break it each time. Hate the product (signs, symbols, temptations, appetizers, etc.), don't hate the messengers. This is how you get ahead in life, as in the music business.
People are not made (or meant) to be judged, for there is plenty enough time for change, but their actions should be judged, for in the end we'll all be judged according to our actions, or lack thereof.
As a musician, you should decide what is your future, you should listen to advice, to opinions, do some research as to who you are about to approach as your video director or record dealer. You should be the one in control of your lyrics, if not write it, contribute to writing it. Don't go in blindly and sign a contract "with the devil", or else you'd be misrepresented by someone you thought you should trust.
If it's not all about music, it is about something else that has no melody, and is not a psalm of a song. Seek the poetry in your lyrics or in your song equally, but do not seek the poetry in motion, because a motion can blur issues and complicate things. Be reminded that fans make you, so listen to what they have to say and be inspired, not overwhelmed.
Don't get dragged into false, cheat sheet, like, methods, i.e. the autotune, because that has the most weird sound a human cannot make, so it makes you wonder. Be yourself, and that matters most than being what others think you should become.
Some artists survive the onslaught, merely by continuing to write their own material oar have someone special in their lives, or just by letting their music speak and not the influences from unknown or controversial sources, even if they may befriend one or two of these people.
One last point: the more famous you become, the more you will be approached by the ones with some ideas, which may look impressive at first, but there will be a point where you'll wonder what does it have to do with your image or your song. You should stay on your own two feet, and walk on as if trusting your destiny, and not have someone thrust in you their agenda.
I have not named any names inside this article, but it is obvious that some of the big ones in the history of music (especially the contemporary, vocal music) have sung classic songs that we loved and sung too. Now that we know more about it, will we withdraw, throw them away, distance from the devil or cross the same street that it walks on just for the fun of it (or the hell of it)?
With all the interest in "Pinterest", as well as Tumblr, couple that with the "Like" button for all the photos that catch your eye on Facebook, I wonder if we focus too much on visuals, thus forgetting the art of writing.
Placing emphasis on what we see has a stimulating effect on our minds, however, when we are reading something, we are placing that specific content inside our brains for later use, and this has, actually, a long-lasting effect, like a study case which we carry with us for years and years...
.... Mind vs. Brain
We rely too much on visuals, trying to see the impossible at times, while missing, at times, the obvious picture in front of us, that small detail, however, when we are writing something, we are more likely to remember it, not fooling the mind, thus, not deceiving it in such a way that a photo or a video can, because we are not missing any piece of any puzzle when we look at a word, a line or a phrase that we had just written...
... Forgetting vs. Remembering
A picture is worth a thousand words?
But these thousand words were never written instead of any picture, nor have been placed under any picture as a caption. What's more, you are more likely adding a caption after a photo has been taken in order for "the picture" to be complete.
Just like music goes with lyrics, so photos go with captions, or else we wouldn't know where it was taken, or in most cases, what would it imply. A picture can be altered,
it can mislead someone, it can only capture a part of a story just like a
video captures a part of the action. This is where the mass deception
begins. Pictures create thousand words after it was taken, it creates a discussion.
A picture has a thousand interpretations, for it is all in the beholder's mind, only words have a thousand truths, for they reside right in front of both the writer and the reader, subsequently. A picture has the "ooh" factor, while the writing has that "wow" effect.
Trusting on a visual opens you up to apparitions which are meant to
deter you from the real "picture" message. Relying on the word of the
writing feather, has you trusting on the words that have been poured
from its ink...
... Deception vs Inception
Funny thing: the internet has given people a network in order to communicate, to blog their opinions, yet sharing has become much the most anticipated thing, and pictures is the "cool" thing.
Infinite vs the Definite...
... You can either be swept up infinitely by a picture and its theme, or you can be inspired by a picture to write something that would definitely be much more of an inscription into a book or a blog post - that is called creativity. However...
... However, most often than not, you are bound to take on the belief that you are meant to see, thus forgetting the trust that the word "understanding" has, as you are taking on the "interpretation" which a picture has instead.
Writing means learning, whereas a picture means pleasure.
I never did like to swear, nor include any vile words in my writings, be they poems, articles, blog posts, songs, or novels even. Now I know the associations that come with it, and I'm going to share with you.
In my previous post I let you know about the signs or symbols of the occult world. If you do a search result on "sex and the occult" or "occult and sexuality", you will find that there are numerous connections, but the importance of it is its origin... Satan.
It is not a coincidence that the film and music industry both thrive on sexuality, not to speak about certain television ads which induce the public mind into thinking with their body organs and not with their real mind.
You see, the devil uses the art of sex in a perverted manner in order to distance people from God. Moreover, he banks on our negativity, our indifference and what not, so that he could insert his F***-ing adjective into our every day sentences we use to speak, not to mention into our brains so that we should mouth something like F*** you this and F*** you that.
I'm sure you noticed how publicly acceptable and politically correct it's become to hear the F-word adjective when someone wants to emphasize something or someone. I don't think it's a coincidence that more perversion is being pushed into the world today. Surely it is not acceptable in schools essays to include a swear every now and then in a sentence? So why should it be when we talk? Where did it come from?
If you read about these things, and again, I do not want you to focus on them, nor delight in them, but to keep reading it as history, a story which is not taught in any schools, but a history which will reveal the many faces of Satan sometime soon... And you shouldn't focus, therefor on these things, much because some have sold their soul to freemasonry or they're worshiping the wrong God, or some spirit, or are under hypnosis, or had visuals and encounters with Satan disguised as Jesus or as a prophet.
We forget the most important thing: Satan knows there is one God (some among us know not or refuse to think that), and that He gave humanity Jesus Christ, a part of Himself in order for us to be saved (from such rituals, atrocities, etc), in order to believe in Him by faith (not by any visuals whatsoever), and in order to keep close to God (and not venture into the darkness, nor with lyrics in a song, nor by seducing our own kind with sexual innuendos).
Don't be a puppet on the devil's string. These things are just beginning to come out to the surface (and the more you scratch a surface you will, eventually, unmask the beast behind it, without clothes, yet with horns), although some knew about freemasonry, secret societies and so on for a long time. People have been manipulated too much in as much as they have created other realms of faith, occult chambers, have used dictatorships within churches and have defiled the true meaning of life that God instructs us of in the Bible.
And so, this is why the F-word is something inserted into our lives by one negative source, so that we distance from the fountain of God. And God pours His love (not hate), His warmth (not cold), His revelations (not apparitions), His blessings (not cunning spiritual helpers) upon us through Jesus, and that should be our only connection, not another reflection, because anything else is a counterfeit of the fallen kind.
I'll be stepping into my 4th year of considerate attitude and dedicated creativity in 2012, so the upcoming annual renaming of Two Thousand and Twelve will be based on the Italian spelling of "twelve" = "Dodici"...
- Damsideaudicication -
2011 was a year of invention, reflection and promise. Damsideaunze ("onze" meaning 11 in French) was set out to be, indeed, the French year. It didn't have anything special consolidated in its renaming, but I wrote a poem "Two Thousand and a Life" and based it on the Dutch spelling of "Leven" ("life"), so it turned out to be a year of continuation and a better life for those who need it in our world, including me.
Ultimately, whether it is a French, a Dutch or an Italian inspired name,
inclusion, or
deauclusion is what I wish for everyone.
The more you live, the more your experience develops, the more you learn about yourself and the other people you come to meet in a lifetime, the more your will power to develop for one or the other, and the more you share with others, the more the world benefits and is blessed, because you make a difference.
In 2011 I created the "deauclusive" part of my endeavors, which is available only to subscribers. In 2012, new series (including the tennis novel) will be renewed, as I'm
dedicated to bringing you, the reader, you, the inventor, you, the worker and so on, the best of my creativity in order to see something done in this world with regards to the water, the natural disasters, the new job names we all need, etc.
You can subscribe to the Deauclusive stuff
from here.
I hope you all are growing into your passion, and, indeed, into your dedication with every day that you are blessed with!
This is a post to let you know where my passion leads me these days.
1st - currently writing a tennis with a difference book, emphasizing the point of staying on top of your play, while in the spin of the game. The difference is that it's not only coming from a point of view of someone who played the game and watches and hopes that other players would find their exciting game and regain the excitement of their play, but also from the point of view of a writer (so I'll be adding a storyline to the book soon).
Please follow the book, as I'm adding bits by bits
at my Live Raydeau location. You can also read there my other books (two books of poetry and one about Heaven and Earth) or view past shows.
2nd - compiling an innovative music chart, where the song matters, lyrics matter, the singer adds to the song, and a performance (if possible to experience live or viewable online) contributes to the noble placing of it in the charts... It could be in the First Range or the First Place, so there are more than 1 song in either of those, and it's definitely not a countdown, but a showcase.
Please view
the music chart here.
3rd - I'm also showcasing people who want to put their music first, artists who want to be heard, thus staying true to my discovering talents every now and then, positive people or role-models who need to inspire others mentality, and I am doing so
on BlogTV with BlogsMusicChart. But this is where I would need someone to present the show if only once a week, highlighting the musicians. I've also associated
a YouTube account with the broadcasting one at blogtv. So feel free to drop by or sub to them.
4th - as far as my passion for horse racing goes, and for any other sport (not just tennis, football, soccer), I've created
a page for Bogart, a nice colt with a great future ahead (already winner of 2 from 3 races in the UK). There is also
a page for Goldikova that I hold at the same website, and everybody knows about this horse, triple winner of the Breeder's Cup Mile (3 years running and going for the 4th probably this year).
5th - just to say thanks to everyone viewing the pages and experiencing my "deauliveries". Please follow me on twitter
@deaulivery
God bless you!
