  Pisces Song of the Day

  From Brad Kronen’s

  “Welcome to the Zodiac” Series

   

  And so we come to the very end of the road with our last and final water and mutable sign - Pisces. 

  "Other-wordliness" is a staple diet for the Piscean because reality and this world we live in can be way too technicolor harsh for the sign that is about unconditional love, universality, and complete spiritualism.  Every Pisces has the need to escape from reality on a rather regular basis and every Pisces does escape, their method of approach is what is critical.  Neptune rules this "out there" sign and even describing Neptune's domains are hard because it is the "boundary-less" planet that loves complete submersion into fantasy, illusion, deception, film, high brow art, religous secularism, daydreams, and most lethaly through  addictions of every way imaginable.  The force of Neptune is to completely lose oneself into the "other" so that in some way the boundaries are so hazy you don't know where you ended and where the "other" began.  With addictions of any kind it's easy to see the allure but that is for the unevolved Piscean.  The evolved Piscean recognizes his/her spaciness and sense of being out of touch with such things as social decorum, technology, and for the most part one on one dialague, and accepts that she will be in her own world a lot of times and that's OK. 

  What they do while in that other world is what makes them so special.  And my biggest musical influence growing up is o so special because I give this lead singer and her band credit for making me "me" in many ways.  Growing up in a cow town in middle of nowhere Connecticut, I still can remember the first time I saw an image of Missing Persons and oddly enough it was from Peter Jennings.  The year was 1982 and the nightly news was on reporting about the new medium of the "music video" and how its popularity was spreading with lightning speed.  I remember looking up from my homework to see a reporter and then a 5 second clip from the video "Words" by Missing Persons.  I can't remember anything after that. Seeing Dale Bozzio's cementedly fixed legs in 6 inch plastic spikes with a plexiglass box over her hips while her plexiglass bra'd torso moved back and forth so that I could see that she not only had white flyby hair with 2 massive streaks of blue and fuschia on the left side of her head but that she also had an extremely thin braided 2 1/2 foot tail of hair that flew in a side to side hypnotic wave with the rest of her compact frame - altered me permanently.  This was MY band and MY music - not something I was told to listen to by either of my older brothers. And as evolution would have it, when I became Brad the astrologer, I actually "looked" at the content my band's songs and they are so Piscean!  The song of songs by them is called "Words" and it really has nothing to do with verbal communication!  If Pisces had it their way, they really wouldn't talk unless absolutely necessary.  Words for them are a way to just get them more confused and distracted versus just being in synch with their natural intuitive radar.  This is their anthem and how ironic that I am the motor mouth sign of the zodiac that this one should be my calling card of identity.  But we Geminis love duality.  The second, and yes there is a second song is called "Windows" where it is basically a Piscean wondering why she can't just stay in daydream land and watch the world and all it's stuff and such just go by her as she watches from the psychic window in her mind.  The need to be fully submerged with the other comes through loud and clear in the words - "Without my window, who am I?"  And the third (you got it 3 MP songs because it's my freaking show - sticking out tongue!) is about not necessarily having the details down in life (that's Virgo, Pisces' polar opposite's job)  and not "even know the time of day" but still carrying along using ones intuitive feelers to guide until you know you'll "leave when it's my time to go."  You probably are all majorly rolling your eyes at this point for Grampa giving you his ancient 80's music overkill, but without Missing Persons  who knows what Brad would have turned out to be?  Hmmmmmm.

  "Words"
  
  Do you hear me?
  Do you care?
  Do you hear me?
  Do you care?
  
  My lips are moving and the sound's coming out
  The words are audible but I have my doubts
  That you realise what has been said
  
  You look at me as if you're in a daze
  It's like the feeling at the end of the page when you realise
  You don't know what you just read.
  
  What are words for?
  When noone listens anymore
  What are words for
  When noone listens what are words for
  When noone listens
  There's no use talking at all.
  
  I might as well go up and talk to a wall
  Coz all the words are having no effect at all
  It's a funny thing.. am I all alone?
  
  Something has to happen to change the direction
  What little filters though is giving you the wrong impression
  "it's a sorry state" I say to myself
  
  What are words for
  When noone listens anymore
  What are words for
  When noone listens what are words for
  When noone listens
  There's no use talking at all.
  
  Do you hear me?
  Do you care?
  Do you hear me?
  Do you care?
  
  Let me get by over your dead body
  Hope to see you soon
  When will I know?
  Doors three feet wide with no locks open
  Walking always backwards in faces of strangers
  Time could be my friend
  But it's less then nowhere now....
  
  Pursue it any further and another thing you'll find
  Not only are they deaf and dumb they could be going blind
  noone notices
  I think I'll dye my hair blue.
  
  Media overload bombarding you with action
  It's getting near impossible to cause distraction
  someone answer me.. before I pull the plug.
  
  What are words for
  When noone listens anymore
  What are words for
  When noone listens there's no use talking at all.
  
  Do you hear me?
  Do you care?
  
  
  "Windows"
  
  Something feels so strange tonight
  It's not wrong but it's just not right
  Some hidden complications fill me with hesitation
  And it gets so dark in here
  I can't see through doubts and fears
  Walled in by expectation I need a deviation
  
  a change in perspective alternative view
  to help me see clearly- observe something new
  
  All i want is a window to look through
  All i need is a window to look through
  It's the only thing that i wanna do anyway
  
  All i want is a window to look through
  All i need is a window to look through
  It's the only thing that i really wanna do anyway
  
  Outside the world is dangerous
  it's hard to find someone to trust
  Fills me with reservation
  Drives me into hibernation
  I watch what's going on
  but i don't want to belong
  leave my my introspection
  safely behind protection
  
  All i want is a window to look through
  All i need is a window to look through
  It's the only thing that i wanna do anyway
  
  All i want is a window to look through
  All i need is a window to look through
  It's the only thing that i really wanna do anyway
  
  Looking through windows at the world
  Looking through windows at the world
  Safe behind windows from the world
  Safe behind windows from the world
  Watching my window world go by
  Watching my window world go by
  Without my window who am i?
  Without my window who am i?
  
  All i want is a window to look through
  All i need is a window to look through
  It's the only thing that i wanna do anyway
  
  All i want is a window to look through
  All i need is a window to look through
  It's the only thing that i really wanna do anyway 
  
  "Destination Unknown"
  
  Life is so strange
  When you don't know
  How can you tell
  Where you're going to?
  You can't be sure of any situation
  something could change
  and then you won't know
  
  Where do we go from here?
  It seems so all too near
  Just as far beyond as i can see
  I still don't know what this all means to me
  
  I don't know where to go
  I don't know what to do
  And i don't even know the time of day
  I guess it doesn't matter anyway
  
  life is so strange
  Destination unknown
  When you don't know
  your destination
  Something could change
  It's unknown
  and then you won't know
  Destination Unknown
  
  When will my time come?
  Has it all been said and done?
  I know i'll leave when it's my time to go
  Til then i'll carry on with what i know
  
  life is so strange
  Destination unknown
  When you don't know
  your destination
  Something could change
  It's unknown
  and then you won't know
  Destination Unknown
  
  Life is so strange
  Life is so strange
  Life is so strange
  Life is so strange
  Life is so strange
  Life is so strange
  Life is so strange
