All Things But None

I posted the lyrics to this song by Yoko Ono almost 3 years ago. Sometimes, certain song will hit you, and it gets you deeper than you know. To me, I guess it's one of those songs where you have to listen to it a good number of times, in order to absorb what the true message is [at least MY interpretation that's!]. But seriously, WHO listens to Yoko Ono? I'm thinking - almost nobody.

I remember seeing her at The Roxy in Los Angeles for the tour, and Perry Farrell opened for her. She's an amazing woman. Like jagged poetry. I love the 'underdogs', and looking from the flipside, they're often above others. I can't listen to all her songs, but the ones I do like, I truly love. I started listening to her when Double Fantasy was released. I still remember when the song [Just Like] Starting Over knocked down The Tide Is High by Blondie from the No. 1 spot on American Top 40, I was so so mad! grrrrr. Now I know why. And Kiss Kiss Kiss, Give Me Something and Yes, I'm Your Angel - when I first heard them, I thought she was just a trip, but it was so refreshing yet awkward. And I remember she was made fun of on the media. Still, to this day.

Flash forward, Pet Shop Boys, Felix Da Housecat, Basment Jaxx and amongst others reconstructed a few of her more 'popular' tracks a few years back. Have you heard? And in two Sundays, she'll be 74! An early Happy Birthday to you Yoko!

And I love you, too!

Revelations
Bless you for your anger,
It’s a sign of rising energy.
Transform the energy to versatility
and it will bring you prosperity

Bless you for your sorrow,
It’s a sign of vulnerability.
Transform the energy to sympathy
and it will bring you love

Bless you for your greed,
It’s a sign of great capacity.
Transform the energy to giving,
Give as much as you wish to take
and you will receive satisfaction

Bless you for your jealousy,
It’s a sign of empathy.
Transform the energy to admiration
And what you admire
will become part of your life

Bless you for your fear,
It’s a sign of wisdom.
Transform the energy to flexibility
and you will be free from what you fear

Bless you for your search of direction.
Transform the energy to receptivity
and the direction will come to you

Bless you for the times you see evil.
Evil feeds on your support
Feed not and it will self-destruct
Shed light and it will cease to be

Bless you for the times you feel no love.
Open your heart to life anyway
In time you will find love in you.

You are a sea of goodness,
You are a sea of love.
Bless you, bless you, bless you,
Bless you for what you are.

Count your blessings every day for they are your protection
Which stand between you and what you wish not

Count your curses and there will be a wall
Which stand between you and what you wish

The world has all that you need
You have the power to attract what you wish.
Wish for health, wish for joy,
Remember, you are loved.

The world has all that you need
And you have the power to attract what you wish.
Wish for health, wish for joy,
Remember, you are loved.

I love you...
