Mind is not HOME, just a temporary movement that can become a veil... a cocoon ... and possibly a tool.
Here's another song about an old hotel A place you can rise in the same place as you fell To get lost in solitude and saved by yourself And did I mention I'm alone as well
I didn't come here with a mistress or a lover I've run away with this polaroid of my mother You can't fill her shoes so fill the tub up with water And if you can't cure my blues then don't even bother
It's a difficult task or it wouldn't be asked The bed vibrates but it doesn't last Now I need a hand removing my mask So if you come to me afraid you'll leave me aghast
I've been pierced with a pin and stabbed into styrofoam I've been frozen in amber and I want to go home But first I must convince my past that I've grown Fond of the rags I've gathered and sewn
And this is as good a place as any I've been This is the peace and quiet you must pay to stay in There's a plate-glass window with a view of my skin It's too busy out there think I'll stay in
my hotel suite

After 3 seconds, doesn't make the cut. Sawwy. I mostly only dig songs that have potential for KNDR (K N-D Radio). School of life and death. Can't miss it.

Call me sentimental, but I feel that romantic love can be one of the clearest of the myriad experiential hints and shadows of the existential truth. In such matters, it takes poetry to express clarity. Here's one of my favorites.

What you say about alignment is certainly worth considering - again, from personal experience. I completely agree that the mindset that suffering is noble in this context is misguided. In terms of what comes and goes and changes and appears, and specifically with respect to the individual, there is this dichotomy: the conditioning of the body/mind, and the conditions that the body/mind is in at any given point in time. Some people's fine messes are finer than others (the conditions), and the progression of conditioning and conditions is at least partially a time-bound process of change. Evaluating the quality of the conditioning is thereby also a relative matter of degree, and potentially quite multi-faceted. Evaluating the quality of any given message by the quality of the conditioning of the messenger is like judging the quality of a steak by the quality of the packaging - there certainly can be a correlation, and vacuum packed is going to last longer, but you can vacuum pack a rotten steak as easily as a fresh one. And even the distinction between TR and SR is still a conceptual point. In the abstract, there's no denying the gateless gate, but abstractions are ever and always treacherous on this terrain. You also have to include the receiver. Even if the messenger is perfect and the message broadcasted flawlessly, if the listener is not perfectly tuned into your station, he may just get static noise on his end...

Iconic Aussie anthem remade by legendary aussie band The Waifs feat. the original artist John Schumann.
"I Was Only 19", originally released by Redgum in 1983, is a about the Vietnam war. It doesn't discuss the war's merit or lack thereof. It just recounts the experience of fighting over there, and the affect it had on a soldier aged 19.
The song is deeply embedded in Australian culture and most certainly worth a listen.

Metal head. Not a rapper, but I heard this Brit rap on the radio and it passed the bar for my playlist.
