good, thought so. then download the song. Poetic featuring The Last Emperor & Esthero "One Life" thanks |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
also see -- Hamlets to be or not to bee soliloquy for pretty the same thing that those lyrics say. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
uh, no. anyway, for those interested, it's in my shared files (main folder of "mpeg layer 3"). soulseek name: howisya. enjoy. |
||||||||

uhh, yes. exact same, the part about where the body goes after death. "to sleep perchance to dream. ay theres the rub for in that sleep of death what dreams may come, must give us pause. theres the respect that makes calamity of such a long life....." |

1. that's just one of many elements of the lyrics 2. it's a pretty logical question. i'm not saying last emperor didn't read hamlet; he's a pretty well-read individual. however what i am saying is that one need not read hamlet to think of the question. last emp's a profound thinker, as evident in his other songs. 3. it's kinda rude to be disrespecting a song about a guy (poetic) dying of fucking cancer. i mean this is his last message to the world (last song ever recorded), can't you appreciate that instead of ripping it apart based on a minor coincidence? i'm sorry to be angry but this is a really amazing song and it deserves better than that. |

ahh, the glory of message boards, one can never understand tone. sorry, i wasn't disrespecting that guy at all, i was just saying it sounded familair to that solilquy. actually to be honest, that shit gave me the chills, i really like it. |

yea the lyrics are really powerful. be sure to check out the actual song as well, though (even people who don't like hip-hop will like this song, unless they're completely emotionally detached idm snobs). the lyrics are delivered with grace and raw emotion and the music is really appropriate (acoustic guitar, violins, rain and thunder). |

im downloading it from you right now. |

this song made me shed a few tears......especially when he described the pain of the disease. you could feel it through his words. this is an important song that should be heard. it's a damn shame it hasn't apparently been released... these are songs that leave a mark in your heart and soul......the sound of the rain and the lovely (almost irish sounding violins) were so mornful....=/ R.I.P. Poetic! |

My aunt is dying of cancer.... and it moved and attached itself to her spine.... there is 4% of a chance that she will survive it.......the doctors are going to check it agian this week to confirm.... I hope that they are wrong....... |

B U M P i'm sure this is on SLSK, and other P2P sharing sites.......LOOK for it, it's totally worth your time to d/l and listen to the lyrics!!! amazing stuff.....don't pass it up!!! |

I'm getting sick and tired of your topic names which have nothing to do with the topic... one of these days titsworth, you're going to get it!!!! ONE OF THESE DAYS!!!! ;) |

Esthero is Canadian though... she's played on muchmusic a fair bit... well, every now and then anyways... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how does cancer have nothing to do with the topic? (save target as) |
||||||||
|
|

|

come now, I was kidding!!! :) |

Bump. Yeah, Esthero is a Canucklehead, saw her vid on MMusic once, a loooooong time ago. I avoid that channel like the plague now though! I like Muchmoremusic better, heh. Lot's of guilty pleasure VH1 specials. Yeah, that was a very nice song. Too bad this isn't the kind of hip-hop that gets played on every station and every wigga's car downtown. My grandmother had breast cancer, she laid the smackdown on it in no time though. My grandmother could kick my ass. |

i love esthero.. i finally found a good fan site for her () this song is great. it's an interesting mix of a black guy with a WEIRD voice (R.I.P. poetic), another black guy who talks like a scholar or philosopher, a white canadian trip-hop singer, and irish fiddles/violins over hip-hop beats and thunder. it goes over really well. |

I dislike your pretentious nature that if YOU say this is a good song, only an uneducated idm snob wouldn't enjoy it. different strokes man, you know this. And believe it or not death doesn't move everyone the same way it might move you. ------- that said, my grandmother died of cancer a month ago, and I particular enjoyed the reality of the pain apparent in this song. |
||||||||
|
|

|

glad you enjoyed the song BE and sowwie about your grandma =/ i think mr. t gets a lil fustrated cos a lot of peepz have such narrow minded musical tastes.....ie.....IDM or nuttin' ya know......so they miss out on lil jewels like this! |

my mum died of cancer. regardless of that- i have an ear for anyone's last words. Last words are worth a human life. good god damn. |

my favorite lines (you have to hear him say them to get the full effect): Me and death is playin chess Ever since then My strength is the most high, my fam and close friends The Last Emp been sent free blessed me with a verse Stayin healthy comes first, look at me, things can be worse not to take away from the beauty of this song, but a song on common's most recent album also deals with a loved one dying of cancer. the 2nd verse of "between me, you & liberation" (as much as i can paste before getting cut off): She laid, I watched her breathe Happy to be here, not afraid to leave I couldn't concieve her not being here Death in her face her not having fear Less than a year she was diagnosed with it Memories of that year, so close and vivid Happiness, would only visit, once in a while To watch an adult, becoming a child Somehow, I knew she'd make it The life of one so given early would God take it? Hurt she placed in, hope and prayer Hurt she placed in chemo and lost hair I stare with my eyes closed Wonder when the body leave does the mind go Watchin' Jordan became less important Seeing this disease eat away my aunt's organs According to doctors theres no cure We went through doubt, and cases of insure Wish I knew then how to heal with herbs Knew a part of her I could heal with words But the (?) was (?) What seemed like the end was the beginning for her Like that, she didn't want us to remember her No more medication did she want us to give to her It spread from her liver to her lungs to her last breath Only to be freed through death Between me and you (echo) |

It was okay i guess... but i didn't really like it. That first verse in particular was not so good. I disliked the lyrics (i like it when lyrics leave at least some room for interpretation... for him just to say: "A meaningless death Made me question the meaning of life.", that would have been enough. I don't like the way how after that he spells out exactly what he means and sums up all these explanations of what might happen after we die. The 2nd verse was better though. (also because i read that story on the link you posted)... i guess you just listen differently to something once you know it's the last song he ever recorded. And he's so personal too... i feel almost embarassed, like i'm reading his personal diary. That part managed to touch me. But otherwise i thought the music was a little boring. |

last emperor is very verbose, i can see why you wouldn't like his lyrics, they're not open to much interpretation. you should check out his song "secret wars", it's quite a classic. he takes like 50 comic book characters and compares them to different rappers and makes a sort of war through his lyrics. it's really creative! and as for poetic's verse, i get the same feeling as you. really concentrating on his voice and lyrics gives me a lump in my throat. it's very intimate and sad but it's good that he died in some level of peace. |

"50 comic book characters and compares them to different rappers and makes a sort of war through his lyrics. That does sound fun :-) But i hardly know any rappers though... i think if you're a little bit familiar with the "scene", it would be even better. But i might give it a listen anyway... or at least try to find the lyrics. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeeeah...uh, decent background music, and i like the guys rapping style, but, in the end, this doesn't move me at all. i guees i'm an "emotionally detached idm snob". |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, scratch that. the actual lyrics are quite moving, but the music is totally boring. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
i'm not sure who you're quoting there? some of you have a lot of imagination in this thread. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you. albeit quite some time ago. see the followup. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you're right, sorry. people keep replying to things i wrote in threads several months ago (eg: moby beaten up, piss, this thread)... i could've been more tactful in the past |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
qrter answered that nicely. doesn't matter though. i don't find the music emotionally engaging, but the lyrics and story behind the song are. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah I hate it when people do that (have had it happen to me too, although on less 'heavy' subject matter). although you mean stuff like that at the time, it is also something of the moment. you express yourself in a way and people assume that is EXACTLY what you mean FOR THE REST OF ETERNITY. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yea.. like LeCoeur said, i was frustrated people here wouldn't give it a chance. people think it bothers me that people don't like all the music i like but that's not so.. it bothers me when people who pride themselves on listening to unusual music are too closeminded to even give something else a listen.. anyway let's not dwell on this, this song deserves better than that |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wow, sorry for quoting you, didn't mean to blow that out of proportion. bottom line: i like the song. and i don't like it when people quote me either, because, like in normal conversation, i say things i don't always mean. anyway, the lyrics are pretty moving and i like the second verse alot. |

What about people dying from rabid chipmunk attacks... poor... real people.. like my grandma... *sulks cancer gets all the publicity |

when I think of myself dead I think of automobiles parked in a parking lot when I think of myself dead I think of frying pans when I think of myself dead I think of somebody making love to you when I'm not around when I think of myself dead I have trouble breathing when I think of myself dead I think of all the people waiting to die when I think of myself dead I think I wouldn't be able to drink water anymore when I think of myself dead the air goes all white the roaches in my kitchen tremble and somebody will have to throw my clean and dirty underwear away. - |
