I am here, and the Temple has burned.
The music playing earlier is by Erik Satie; Gymnopedie No. 1. I know there has been talk of best songs. This is called by some "The Most Beautiful Song in the World". Lyrics have been written (not by Satie, the French composer) and they are beautiful.
"From My First Moment"
From my first moment you gave me wings Let me fly and believed in my dreams From that first moment you cherished me so The journey through life would be hard without you You gave me all I have and all I know From my first moment you would be there In your arms lay the strength I now bear From that first moment each day I have you As seasons they change but your heart stays the same You gave me all I have and all I know From my first moment as time goes by We drift endlessly through open skies My journey through life would be hard without you You gave me all I have and all I know.
For tonight I am used up. My heart and soul are in a beautiful place, but need rest! My vow is to be long-winded tomorrow; and answer as many Burning Man questions as I can!
There is no better place for Adam to move about unnoticed than Black Rock City.
Drying my tears of amazement - there is so much love in this Universe! I feel your energy and I promise it made the Playa a place of discovery and joy.

Hi, Mom! So glad you had such good weather and such a great time! Can't wait to hear about it all. I'm tired, and all I did was watch three nights of livestream, lol. Be safe on your way home. Shake off that playa dust and share you story when you can. Makes me so happy that you were there! ETA: OMG, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR REMINDING ME OF THE COMPOSER OF THAT PIECE OF MUSIC. I JUST LOVE IT. FOUND IT ON YOUTUBE...AND THIS VIDEO IS MESMERIZINGLY BEAUTIFUL. I wish I could find a version with the lyrics you posted. I'll look again in the morning. Nice music to got to sleep to. Haunting, but serene.

Look forward to hearing your stories and vicariously experiencing Burning Man. Hoopla, meant to comment on the vid for one of your song nominees -- the Rolling Stones' Shine a Light. You probably know this, but for those who don't, there's a dvd (also titled "Shine a Light") of that whole concert that I watched about a year ago, and it's so fantastic. Martin Scorcese, who also directed The Band's The Last Waltz, directed it. Nice to be reminded of it. There were appearances by Jack White, Christina Aguilera, and Buddy Guy. Mick is still fuckin' fabulous. And Keith, haha. Wonderful film, well worth watching.

He's not my favorite person in the world, that's for sure. He did a blog about Adam a few months back that was really weird too. Anyway, I just posted a brief comment. I thought yours was very good. Thx hon....I usually don't go to his blog....maybe once in a blue moon....but I saw that post tweeted out and was all roo? I don't particularly care for him either, he comes off kinda odd to me, but that just pissed me off. Ass. Ass indeed. I gave to both of your comments a thumbs up for what it's worth.

My favorite concert DVDs are still The Last Waltz (the Band) and Stop Making Sense (Talking Heads), but ALL concert/band dvds are fun! Speaking of which, I'd love to see Pink's Funhouse concert.
