Songs inspired by or related to our current paradigm
I make this thread partly because I'd like to get ideas for background music if I try a video of some kind. The one that comes most obvious to me is The final countdown -- which I do wonder if it was actually influenced especially when they talk about headed for Venus.
Uh, oh… prepare for this to possibly be the most popular of threads. I’ll be contributing multiple entries on this one. Here a recent favorite of mine regarding one’s recognition of their own rejection of indoctrination:
Here’s a great one talking about experiencing death and seeing angels that came to get him on “a starship, and headed for the skies…”
You can imagine lol bed ones, or death traps.
I also find that Reggae music is very appropriate for the the whole prison-planet story. It’s beautiful rebel music with a variety of beats. At least, I feel better when listening to it when thinking about the prison-planet topic. I love songs like Coming In From the Cold by Bob Marley, especially with lyrics like, “would you let the system get inside your head again? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, Dread, no! Would you let the system make you kill your brother man? No, Dread, no!”
I feel that Bob Marley, The Wailers, Steel Pulse, Wailing Souls, etc are all great classics to start with, if interested.

We are one
We are a universe
Forbears of what will be scions of the Devonian sea
Aeons pass, writing the tale of us all
A day-to-day new opening
For the greatest show on Earth
The Greatest Show on Earth - Nightwish
We Were Here
11 years old....
we were told over and over
Its one way to keep remembering... from 9 years ago...
and Juicemedia has another 250+ more of these LOL - I wont post them - they went woke after a while
This one gets me punching the air, when not joining in on the penny whistle:
My previous choice was more about the departing paradigm - medieval, inquisitorial, etc. So, lookin' forward:
This one pops out of my mind... how is this been going for decades and how still reflects the same battles in different aspects through the years.
When I was a kid I was told that 'education' derived from the latin 'e ducere' - to lead from. Ostinsibly to lead from ignorance to knowledge but it could just as easily be to lead someone from their true self into slavery.
We don't need no education. What we need is enlightenment.
I loved the Alan Parson Project -
showing my age LOL
Sirius / Eye in The Sky - Live Version
Nightwish's Greatest Show on Earth...One of the 2 greatest musical acts our species has produced. That song may be our best ever.
The other act?
Rick Wakeman released the concept album '1984' based off George Orwell's book in 1981.
My favorite song from that album was Julia -
I also loved the album Journey To The Centre of the Earth
This is Robotman from '1984'
sung by Chaka Khan
Wakeman is a jewel.
