Seer?

So I meant to post about this for awhile but never got around to it. A couple days ago, I was watching the History Channel (there was nothing on) and they had this show on a guy who lived in the early 1900's. He would fall asleep and if you asked him a question, like how to cure a certain disease, and he would answer it. For example, an 8 year old whos knee broke in a way that doctors thought the kid would never walk again, and the kid went the the seer dude, and he told him and the doctors to skick a nail in in. Back then, doctors didn't think this would work, but they did it, and the kid was able to walk within a month. The seer (his name was Edgar Cayce, or something like that) cured his wife's tuberculosis, predicted the Great Depression, when America would come out of the Great depression, WWII, and some other stuff I don't remember. What makes this even more amazing was this Edgar dude was illiterate! When giving treatments to diseases, he would use very specific medical terms, things only doctor would know. Could he really see into the future?

weekend

So over this weekend, I was able to visit a Jewish temple. That was a really cool experience! I have never heard Hebrew before, and the way it was spoken, it was almost like singing. I don't think I'll ever forget how amazing it was to view another culture.

The Ocean

So this is my first post! I figured that I would post about the first thing that came to mind, which would have to be my favorite band, The Bravery.

This song is called The Ocean. If you want an actual Bravery song, try Believe or This Is Not the End something like that. This is like acoustic and violins, unlike all the other rock songs on their 2nd album. (from lyricspy.com)

(Acoustic guitar+violin)
I climbed up a mountain, and looked off the edge
And all of the lies that I never have led
Is one where I stayed with you, accross the sea
I wonder do you still think of me
I carry your image always in my head
Folded and yellowed and torn at the edge
And i've looked upon it for so many years
Slowy I'm losing your face

[chorus]
Oh the ocean rows us away, away, away
The ocean rows us away

Sixs and sevens we live on jet planes
And so many faces I don't know the names
So many friends now and none of them mine
Forgotten as soon as we meet
All of these moments are lost in time
But you're caught on my head like a thorn on a vine
But to hurt but to mend me(I thought it was "to forever torment me") that I wonder why
Do I wish i've never known you at all

[chorus]
Oh the ocean rows us away, away, away
The ocean rows us away

Oh the ocean rows us away, away, away
The ocean rows us away

(Acoustic solo)

The sun and the moon
An ocean of air
So many voices
But nothing is there
The ghost of you asking me why
Why did I leave

[chorus]
(Drums enter)
Oh the ocean rows us away, away, away
The ocean rows us away

Oh the ocean rows us away away away

And I lose your hand through the waves
