  1. Alright, so I already mentioned "To Ramona" by Bob Dylan, so here it is:

     

    Ramona, come closer,

    Shut softly your watery eyes.

    The pangs of your sadness

    Shall pass as your senses will rise.

    The flowers of the city

    Though breathlike, get deathlike at times.

    And there's no use in tryin'

    T' deal with the dyin',

    Though I cannot explain that in lines.

     

    Your cracked country lips,

    I still wish to kiss,

    As to be by the strength of your skin.

    Your magnetic movements

    Still capture the minutes I'm in.

    But it grieves my heart, love,

    To see you tryin' to be a part of

    A world that just don't exist.

    It's all just a dream, babe,

    A vacuum, a scheme, babe,

    That sucks you into feelin' like this.

     

    I can see that your head

    Has been twisted and fed

    By worthless foam from the mouth.

    I can tell you are torn

    Between stayin' and returnin'

    On back to the South.

    You've been fooled into thinking

    That the finishin' end is at hand.

    Yet there's no one to beat you,

    No one t' defeat you,

    'Cept the thoughts of yourself feeling bad.

     

    I've heard you say many times

    That you're better 'n no one

    And no one is better 'n you.

    If you really believe that,

    You know you got

    Nothing to win and nothing to lose.

    From fixtures and forces and friends,

    Your sorrow does stem,

    That hype you and type you,

    Making you feel

    That you must be exactly like them.

     

    I'd forever talk to you,

    But soon my words,

    They would turn into a meaningless ring.

    For deep in my heart

    I know there is no help I can bring.

    Everything passes,

    Everything changes,

    Just do what you think you should do.

    And someday maybe,

    Who knows, baby,

    I'll come and be cryin' to you.

  2. I've definately heard of it, but neglected to pick it up partly because of the intimidating number of books. But if it contains such a level of violence and sexual depravity that a Preacher fan is horrified by it, I'll have to check it out eventually.

  3. "Hey Mister Tamborine Man Play a Song for Me..."

     

    Dylan = Awesome

     

    "I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.

    Hey Mister Tambourine Man play a song for me.

    In a jingle-jangle morning I'll come following you"

     

    :ohface: I can't stop listening to that shit, either. But my favorite song on his Biograph album is "To Ramona". God, that song is beautiful.

  4. Oh, FF12 is on PS3...?

     

    I thought it was coming to PS2. If it turns out to be on PS3, that'll be really lame because then they didn't keep the tradition of 3 games per console generation.

  5. I'm hoping and praying that FF12 will measure up to my very high expectations. I haven't had my FF fix since 10 was released (what, 4 years ago?) so I'm becoming quite ornery with Squenix. I'm not some rich punk who can afford to play that online FF11 shit, and FF10-2 just didn't do it for me...

  6. Hm...I've played Chrono Trigger and Xenosaga Ep.1, so I agree that Mitsuda is great as well, but I've been unable to find a copy of Xenogears unfortunately.

     

    As far as more of my favorites:

    From FF6, I like "Coin Song" (like you said), "Kefka's theme", "Cyan's theme", "Spinach Rag", "Johnny C. Bad", "Kids run thru the city", among others.

     

    From FF7, good songs are "ShinRa Co.", "Holding my thoughts in my head", "Main Theme", "Descendant of the Shinobi", "The Nightmare Begins", "Interrupted by Fireworks", "Reunion", "Judgement Day", and "J-E-N-O-V-A"

     

    FF8 songs would be "Breezy, "Ami", "Blue Fields"

     

    I don't know if you really liked FF9 but good songs there would be "Village of Dali", "Over The Hill"(my favorite), "A Song From Her Memory", "Kuja's Theme", "Forgotten Face", "Amarant's Theme", and "Janitor of Time"

     

     

    Hope that didn't bore yeh. :D

  7. Yeah, that flash is a classic, acalis :D

     

    I'm pretty sure that the Good Friends concert tour is over and done with, too bad it never came to my area, I would have loved to hear Uematsu's stuff live.

    :D

     

    So what're your favorite tunes? I like the song "Breezy" from FF8.

  8. Heh..."Wicked City" is one gratuitous piece-a-shit. As far as recommendations, you should be sure to watch any and all Miyazaki film (Mononoke, Spirited Away are musts), Ghost In The Shell and Akira are great action films. Also, I just got back from seeing Steamboy in theaters...it's definately worth your time.
