fall into the gap







This is my first blog attempt, nevertheless a sync one, so bear with me. I needed to share this. I found it quite curious that the changing of a corporate logo would make the "news". I mean, who on this pale blue dot would find that relevant? But I remembered that logos are like gang signs for the initiated. It's communication not meant to be dissected by the masses of mall zombies. And believe me, it's not. Personally, I've never been a run of the mill GAP shopper. I've seen plenty of ads over the years. "Fall into the GAP" was a slogan at one point. Looking closely, the "gap" has managed to escape from the "box". Maybe another metaphor for what we are currently experiencing on this planet. Then I remembered an old 80's band, the Thompson Twins (twin suns) album, "Into the Gap" had some interestingly similar artwork on that album, the dark blue square. Upon further research I came upon the music video for "Lies". It was the room where the elderly Dave Bowman saw the monolith appear at the foot of his bed in Stanley Kubrick's classic "2001-A Space Odyssey".






Now, by now I think we all know that there is no shortage of lies being told by the PTB (powers that be). It's as if they are testing us to see when people will wake the fuck up. That's alot to wrap your head around. But that's in direct competition with American Idol, football, and attaining social status. While we're on the topic of 80's music, we enter LEVEL 42. Now I am card carrying member of the first MTV generation. Music was a big fucking deal back then. Level 42 huh? Why not Level 38 or Level 54? Now I get it. As a 13 year old In 1984, I did not.
Well, their song entitled "Lessons in Love" was chock full of depictions of "chemtrails". Also, they were in a "construction zone". Now, who knew of chemtrails 26 years ago? Not I. Mind blowing to say the least. See for yourself:



The lyrics are perplexing:

I'm not proud, I was wrong
and the truth is hard to take
I felt sure we had enough
but our love went overboard
lifeboat lies lost at sea
I've been trying to reach your shore
waves of doubt keep drowning me

All the dreams that we were building
we never fulfilled them
could be better, should be better
for lessons in love

For restless eyes egos burn
and the mold is hard to break
now we've waded in too deep
and love is overboard
heavy hearts token words
all the hopes I ever had
fade like footprints in the sand

All the homes that we were building
we never lived in
could be better, should be better
lessons in love
if we lose the time before us
the future will ignore us
we should use it, we could use it, yeah
lessons in love
lost without love

Lessons in love
when will you ever learn
lessons in love
when there's nowhere left to turn
lessons in love
don't let your spirit burn
lessons in love
I'll wait 'till you return

All the dreams that we were building
we never lived them
we could lose it, we should use it
(lessons in love) lessons in love
all the homes that we were building
we never lived in
could be better (could be better), should be better
lessons in love
if we lose the time before us
the future will ignore us
we should use it, we could use it (good god)
lessons in love

Undoubtedly, we are learning hard "lessons in love". To appreciate the light, one must first walk through the darkness. Thank you to all of you sync-ers out there. You know who you are. I've got more to come. Keep riding the tiger.
