Category: Articles 16 comments 20 Oct 2005 @ 20:58 by swanny : what?Is it "please tell me who I am ? or please tell me "what" I am because I think it goes deeper than who he is a soul bombarded.... a gentle soul bombarded by the realities of the modern world looking for ???? identity or "meaning" please tell me what I mean? is that perhaps what he means.... the music is quite incidental to the words perhaps one can not look at the "text" in isolation without the "emotionality" added by the musical enigma and supertramp certainly can be a musical and lyrical enigma at times somewhat like kenny loggins but more so more "deadly" or more "crafted". well have I shot myself in the foot or what... 20 Oct 2005 @ 21:17 by swanny : meaning Please tell me what I mean? Why thats an absurd question whoever would ask such a question be so bold or foolish to ask such a question.... It is the epitimy of ....????? Is that what is being asked though and why would I suggest that that is what he is asking well a little background one perhaps has to go systematically through the whole supertramp catolugue perhaps if one can endure or at least the major ???? portions there is another song though that poses a question to the universe I think suggesting hmmmmmmm now how does that go...???? "Look at me I'm a speck of sand and I'm building dreams in a strangers land....." Supertramp 20th century well hugely tough.... lets google """"""""" Two Of Us Supertramp Look at me I'm a speck of sand And I'm building dreams in a stranger's land Tell me why do I care Tell me why do I care Every time that I'm feeling down Oh they pick me up and they spin me round Tell me where do we go Tell me where do we go from here What are we gonna find out (find out) What are we gonna find out (find out) In the wilderness, that this loneliness brings Just as long as there's two of us Just as long as there's two of us I'll carry on Won't you hold me When is man gonna find out (find out) When are we gonna find out (find out) What the universe is just waiting to hear Just as long as there's two of us Just as long as there's two of us Just as long as there's two of us We'll carry on """""""""""" Supertramp well this isn't what appears on the lp or cd theres a line if memory serves "what the meaning is" perhaps I am in error but it is there somewhere in the supertramp enigma alfie 20 Oct 2005 @ 21:25 by swanny : say/mean Okay here again another clue... Don't recall the song but the album was 1982's "Famous Last Words" "Do you say what you mean.... Do you mean what you say..." Supertramp 20 Oct 2005 @ 21:38 by swanny : soul "please tell me who I am" Supertramp 20th century equals "please tell me what I mean" 2005 Now is that a "lost" soul or what? 20 Oct 2005 @ 21:46 by swanny : soul Well it's not a conclusion it's simply my opinion drawn from not simply from the text but the music as well which has a basis again in the lps "the music that you gave me... the language of my soul..... """"""" supertramp 20th century not sure of song or album and I could never decipher what comes after that something like "I've a wonderful feelin I natures own little ?????""" supertramp sorry gettin a bit muddled here I'll stop jump in anytime.... alfie 20 Oct 2005 @ 22:01 by swanny : Listen to... Well I've nothing more to add at this point in and at whatever..... I suppose it's a bit of a "primer" perhaps for discussion perhaps you must go out and get some of the supertramp music and see or hear or understand for yourself but beware it is a hmmmmmmm???? well just beware and have your wits about you.... chow alfie 20 Oct 2005 @ 23:38 by jmarc : if "all the world's asleep" while he asks this question, then maybe he expects his answer from a higher source. 21 Oct 2005 @ 00:17 by swanny : no.... I have the answer.... but no ones going to like it.... 21 Oct 2005 @ 00:18 by swanny : or or maybe hes figured it out to by now.... the real question hes asking is "I am I and you are you but who are we?" 21 Oct 2005 @ 00:49 by swanny : I suppose its a ..... Fact and the facts are the facts and they don't change much.... may take a bit to get through sometimes but..... sighs darn is the nice way of putting it.... 13 Nov 2006 @ 14:36 by Marcel @24.215.64.231 : I am an adopted son of God through Jesus Funny how the logical song lirics came to my head recently as I wondered who the artist was addressing his question to Please tell me who I am. Only God can and His Holy catholic and Apostolic church He establish through Jesus can answer that question. The world, science, philosophy, etc. can't do it for we are all God's children since He created us and sent His Son to redeem us and save us from our sins. May the Father, Son and Holy Spirit bless you and your loved ones. Marcel 13 Nov 2006 @ 19:00 by swanny : Jesus's son... Hi M... Well possibly youre jesus's son but I suspect its probably better to be your own son or daughter... to give birth to yourself as it were. How ? with great difficulty to be sure... ed 18 Nov 2007 @ 01:41 by Pablo @200.122.126.187 : the logical song (supertramp 1979) Those were very dark days, here in Argentina, the militar goverment killing my friends in the streets. I was running for my life too. The logical son tells us that we are nothing without the others. without another human beeing there's no meaning for the question "who I am?", nobody exists out of the society. 18 Nov 2007 @ 10:43 by swanny : Good Observaton A very astute observation Pablo yet I suppose it could be extended to the other life forms around us as well. Without the birds and the fish and the insects we would perhaps be less as well. Life then, living beings give us meaning and context, not just comparatively but associatively. We associate and draw purpose from the life around us, and yes I guess it has a dark side at times too. thanks swanny 18 Nov 2007 @ 11:09 by swanny : We're a ...? ahhh We're a Sensation? Please tell us who we are... We're a sensation! ................................................... ................................................... I'm A Sensation Oh I am the sun in the sky and I am the blue in my eye, I am the world, I'm a sensation. I am the scent of the pines and I am the river that winds, I am the world, I'm a sensation. CHORUS: I am the touch of the breeze, I am the scent of the trees, I am the sound of the seas, That all surround me. I am the taste of the wine, I am the sight of the vine, All of these senses of mine, are what I Am. I am the touch of your lips, I am the shape of her hips, I am the world, I'm a sensation. I am the beat of my heart, Of all the whole I am part, I am the world, I'm a sensation CHORUS: Oh I am the sun in the sky and I am the blue in my eye, I am the world, I'm a s e n s a t i o n.

Hmmmmm perhaps grasshopper perhaps sir ed 18 Nov 2007 @ 11:30 by swanny : Quietness... Like the act or process of defining and describing breaks the wholeness and oneness into pieces and that at times to find the truth again we have to forego theses acts and processes and return back to the wholeness, return back to the oneness. Back to the silence, back to the quietness. hmmmmm ??????? ed Other entries in Articles 23 Aug 2022 @ 09:55: Gravity battery ref 23 Aug 2022 @ 09:53: Gravity battery ???. 2 May 2022 @ 06:45: How to Get Quality Dofollow Backlinks 23 Nov 2021 @ 18:26: What is Linkbuilding 25 Jun 2021 @ 15:37: Longitude at sea? 24 Aug 2020 @ 12:42: Climate and ocean 24 Aug 2020 @ 12:37: Climate update Aug 2020 15 Mar 2020 @ 19:11: Hang in.. 29 Jul 2019 @ 16:12: Onward 28 Feb 2019 @ 14:41: Solar Neighborhood pic
