Peter Gabriel - Wallflower 2010
It's not like me to reveal too much about my private life on a blog. Maybe, I will tell you a story that has a little truth and a little fiction and let your imagination run wild. This song, featured in the film "Birdy" with Nicholas Cage and Mathew Modine, I want to believe was written for many other reasons then just for the film. If it was written by Peter Gabriel, it most likely had a great deal more to do with the overall picture of what being free really means to someone oppressed, tortured, fouled. Because, in most of his songs, I can hear that he understands all that, that somehow he knows everything. It's strange because a thought just rolled through my head making me want to write to you all that everyone knows everything. It is all stored in there and you can see it, remember it, talk about it, sing about it, write about it, swear by it, because it only takes a second to figure it out and then fold it away thinking, "oh shit, where did that come from? I can't tell anyone that, they would never believe me..."
It's okay. This is life. You can pretty much say, feel and think anything you want. "All influence is immoral...The aim of life is to understand your true nature." as said by someone in some movie about Dorian Gray. Whatever.
I love musicians, men named Peter. Tony Levins and Joes and Jaques and Franks and Davids. Arturos, Rauls, Felipes, the list could go on forever....
I love film makers, artists and speakers, dancers. Pushers of the limits, because there really are no limits, no matter what some awful fool tells you. If there were actual limits, none of us or anything would probably even be here. Sure, anyone can try and place limits here or there but that doesn't make it so. Science can find limits, but time can make fools of them after all.
