What does the song "Gabriel" by Lamb really mean?

"Gabriel", clear or hide meaning?

I have this song since late 2005 and I never really "listen" it carefully since today. I had the "I can fly, but I want his wings" stuck in my mind but never go farder...

So, today I realized that it talks about Gabriel, angel Gabriel, the one who made the announcement of Jesus' birth to Mary:

“Don’t be scared, Mary,” said Gabriel. “God has wonderfully blessed you. You will give
birth to a baby boy. You will name him Jesus. He shall be called the Son of God.
God will give him the throne of David and his Kingdom will never end!”

Based on Luke 1:26-56

Thus, he became one of God's chief messenger, who is also referred to as the "Left Hand of God and the embodiment of the Holy Spirit". See Gabriel's reference in wikipedia for more information.

Take a breath,... beautiful song, right? Listen it again, carefully, and let the wonderful music take you far away, you will feel something else... emotions.

Yes, she is happy, she can fly, she can even shine in the darkness, but she will never be complete, and is not for the angel.... She is in love. Gabriel, her true love, she needs him and she will never be as happy as she would be with him. She can love, but she needs his heart. She craves the light that he brings. Her angel Gabriel...

Listen again the song... or even read the lyrics. You will feel even more things. I have read some opinions in forums, and I have realized that the song can bring you positive or negative emotions according your current situation. Those who have found their true love would agree about they can not live without the other,... those who have been rejected for someone who love would agree that they can love someone else, but not as much as the other, "I need his heart". I think very few songs can do that... I mean, to transmit positive or negative meaning (not feeling) according to your sentimental situation.

A lot of people used to sing this song to their lovers, replacing "Gabriel" with the correct name. Beautiful way to say you are essential for me.

Anyway,... love stuff :P.

Alive

Hi everybody, Hi you.

Look the title of the post,... that's how did I feel when I was with you. I felt alive, I enjoyed life so much that I remember those days like ones of my best. But sometimes life is not like we want. For this reason, I want to tell you this:

"Don't cry because it's over, Smile because it happened"

Read carefully the sentence. I think is quite important lately.

I'm very sorry to have hurt you , I'm glad to have made you happy. You will never be alone. You will always have a piece of my heart. Relationships don't always succeed, friendships sometimes change, but I want you to know... no matter what else happens to us, if you need to be listened, if you need a friend, if you need somebody to trust, if you need a hug... I will always be here for you.

Smile Chloé, Smile!

When Radio gets interactive, Part II

"What a coincidence!!!", by my friends on 11th November 2007. :P

haha, just a few hours after my post about Musicovery, they released a new full version of the application, not longer Beta. Now also in portuguese and spanish and with a new funcionality; a "Me Label" option where you can listen your favourite styles of music. Now, while you are listening a song, you are able to mark the song as favourite or just ban it. According to these decisions, the application makes a profile about your preferences and show only the songs susceptible to please you. You can always check your history of songs and modify it as well as add or remove songs from the "favourite" and "excluded" lists.

Don't forget that you can still choose music by the other two labels; mood and dance.

As I said, a GREAT webRadio! ;)

Another Piano-Fantastic Song

Here we go again,...

Afortunatly, more beautiful songs emerge on earth from the mind of genious!!! The fact is, think about it,.... what would we do without music?

This one is not as "anonymous" and good as the Sioen's one I posted few months ago but it's good enough to be posted as well (at least, part of it).

I'm sure you will recognize it immediatly since Levi's chose this song for its World New Commercial. Enjoy it ;)

Once I had a strange love,
a mad sort of insane love,
a love so fast and fierce I thought i’d die

yes once I had a strange love,
a pure but very pained love,
a love that burned like fire through a field

And, Once I had a strange love
a public acclaimed love,
the kind of love that’s seen in magazines.

And then there was that strange love
that vulgar and profane love,
the kind of love that we don’t talk about

You see i’ve had some strange love,
some good, some bad, some plain love,
some so-so love, and c’est la vie…

but just let me proclaim that, out of all the strange love you’re the strangest love I’ve ever known….

“Strange Love”, by Little Annie Bandez.

Where "Come to the dark side, we have cookies" comes from?

I have been spending too much time lately on internet, just reading site by site, without any goal, just clicking in each link that was under the mouse's pointer.... and after some time I found a "strange" thing. It was a popular (sub-culture) sentence that you could find all around internet. I realize that a lot of people use it, even earn money with it, or they just use it for the title of their website or blog. Even as a tag of a nick name in forums, and it surprised me because it was popularly used and I didn't know where it came from.
So, as Morpheo said in the 'Matrix' "You feel something strange but you don't know what is it", I felt the same about this sentence; "Come to the dark side, we have cookies". What is it? Why is it soooo famous? Where does it come from? Why people sell t-shirts with this sentence (another site)? Why there are icons, pictures, cups, etc about it? and Why it looks sooo comercial, so funny, sooo interesting,... it is totally a catch phrase. For all of these, I began to investigate...

Of course, when you hear "Come to the dark side..." the first thing that come to our mind is Star Wars so I decided to begin in this point. "Come to the dark side..." makes sense. Darth Vader told it to Luke Skywalker.... And we all know how did the story end. In fact, in order to be more precise, almost to a freaky-star-wars level, Darth Vader said as follows: "Come to the dark side,... together we will rule the galaxy". wowww, a tasty proposal, difficult to reject,... but luckly (or not) Luke didn't accept.
Today, I wander what would had happened if Darth Vader would had said: "Come to the dark side, we have cookies". Maybe Luke would had answered "YES" without any doubt and I would had found finally the origin of the sentence. But this is not the case...

Some people in internet assure that the origin of the sentence is from a famous rock song, however anybody remember the name of the band or the title of the song, and others assure that the sentence was taken from a book, an unknown Lovecraft's book probably, but I wouldn't bet hard for it, although you can always find very interesting and impressive phrases in books...

Of course, you can always find the "silly" answers which I didn't take into account (which it doesn't mean they could not be the real origin of the sentence)... Inside this group you can find Harry Potter and Stargate stuff,... I don't think they are serious answers of the question because the sentence looks much older than these stuff (according the time it looks have been used since). So if the sentence appears in harry potter or Stargate is because they take it from somewhere else...

The sentence has not copyright, so the possibilities of an advertisement sentence didn't convince me either. So, I found myself at the starting point again. Star Wars looked the most likely origin of the sentence, but in fact IT WAS NOT. Maybe it began there, in Star Wars, and then somebody added "we have cookies", but... who? Who raised the sentence at the level of the "stars"...

.......


Of course if anybody know the answer of the question, I cheer him/her up to send a comment and bring some light on this mystery. I would appreciate it a lot .

My own opinion, after all the time spent on it , is that maybe the idea was in fact taken from somewhere else (probably a movie, probably Star Wars) and it just grew up in the urban culture, mouth to mouth, because it was fresh, it was funny, it was a catch phrase. Is like those kind of things that a friend explain you and in a bit, without to be aware of it, you are explaining it to somebody else, or just using it in any other place. Thus, it has become a popular sentence around all the world, used in every single object, made FAMOUS by all US, moreover in internet, where the impressive and powerful sentences to call the attention of everybody are very well appreciated (and not only in advertisement or business but in applications and services as Messenger, sites or forums as well).
