This isn't a broad jumper. More of a twisty interpretation that is over my head focus,

drunk guy: meaning of song Golden Earring-Are You Receiving Me


AI Overview


Golden Earring's "
Are You Receiving Me" is a psychedelic, progressive rock epic about a desperate plea for connection, using a pilot's distress call as a metaphor for existential isolation and the struggle to communicate deeper feelings, urging someone to "recharge your battery" and break through mundane reality for true understanding, contrasting with their more famous "Radar Love".
Key Themes & Interpretations:
  • Cosmic/Existential Plea: The song feels like a call from space or a deep state of consciousness, asking if the listener (or a specific person) is truly connecting with the narrator's profound message.
  • Isolation & Insanity: The line "Close to insanity" highlights the narrator's desperation and feeling of being cut off, making the request to "receive" them an urgent need for validation.
  • Spiritual/Personal Awakening: It suggests a need for someone to "quit the miming" (pretending) and find a "different timing" for genuine freedom, implying a higher level of being beyond superficial interaction.
  • Psychedelic Journey: With its long instrumental section and atmospheric sound, it's a journey into altered states, typical of the band's progressive sound on the Moontan album, notes Loudersound.
In essence, it's a powerful, soaring rock track asking, "Are you really hearing me, or just the noise?" even as the narrator struggles to stay grounded themselves, a much deeper, more abstract theme than their hit "Radar Love", says the WordPress.com post on the band's album.
===

#5 or 8 depending on how nap is graded. Excluding cannibalanoids.

hmmm...the vinyl crackle on this copy is bearable enough--subsides once output reaches threshold--and I dig this release over the alternative. MCAD Moontan sounds fantastic; CDs out there. Not sure on anything but precursor Big Tree, Blue Sea also rollin.' AI would sell me some similar existential blather if I asked the same-same.

Holy fuck that was raunchy vinyl crackle. Now I remember why I won't waste time arguing with people who are firm that vinyl sounds better. Analog sheep tools. Digital cleanliness. Upload my ass.

Classically sarcastic. Expiring landlords. Hope the cost is low.

3rd and last (I think; this next the first recorded) side-length track from Rush's back catalog. Talk about existential trippyness; can't top the operatically tragic dystopian tale of 2112, but this one has a more timeless message, or else my memory is stoned,

Speaking of which. Blue Cheese ("hybrid") freebie sample is facing immolation.

Another nothing-burger court date comes and goes.

#3 to celebrate, decelerate, and decompress.

My right to a speedy trial (11(b), R vs. Jordan, blah blah blah) is in jeopardy.
Tick tick tick tick...

Anybody here survive William James, The Varieties of Religious Experience, A Study in Human Nature (1901-02 Gifford Lectures)? I'm finally tackling it; about a quarter way through. Bucket list scratch-off. Difficult language. See what the end of football season does to people?

jinx

Had a few puffs (surprise, surprise, surprise) but planning a nice fattie in about half an hour; may chill me out in order to behave myself for group unthink. My soul can't be saved but some of these fuckers seems worthy.

#5 in the freezer (aka last minus two)
Remind me not to leave it in there too long.

The mice have stopped falling so at least I don't look like shit.
It is better to don't look like shit than to don't feel like shit, and I have a preferred quote from William James' Varieties worth mention:

From one F.L. Lampson. A pious man (my take, not James'), but take how will. Totally existential, Myth of Sisyphus type territory.

"I am so far resigned to my lot that I feel small pain at the thought of
having to part from what has been called the pleasant habit of existence,
the sweet fable of life. I would not care to live my wasted life over again,
and so to prolong my span. Strange to say, I have but little wish to be
younger. I submit with a chill at my heart. I humbly submit because it is
the Divine Will, and my appointed destiny. I dread the increase of
infirmities that will make me a burden to those around me, those dear to
me. No! let me slip away as quietly and comfortably as I can. Let the end
come, if peace come with it.

"I do not know that there is a great deal to be said for this world, or our
sojourn here upon it; but it has pleased God so to place us, and it must
please me also. I ask you, what is human life? Is not it a maimed
happiness—care and weariness, weariness and care, with the baseless
expectation, the strange cozenage of a brighter to-morrow? At best it is
but a froward child, that must be played with and humored, to keep it
quiet till it falls asleep, and then the care is over."[13]page 40 of epub by Project Gutenberg


I needed to look up "cozenage."
  1. the practice of deception; trickery.
    "stories of cozenage and disguise"

Fuck it. Kali Mist and onward.
Beer saved, btw. Fuck prison.

Appreciate alleged freedom.

Lecture 6 & 7 recommended, btw, on William James' The Varieties of Religious Experience, for any aficionados of existential angst, or how other pre-1900 thinkers have tried to frame it.

Technically #6. They're big (473ml for any deserters), so math whateves. I tried to relate the Monty Hall problem on about 2 or 3 shortly back, and that went unswimmingly. Monty and his goats makes it comprehensible, if not controversial.

Squander rules apply.

I dig the tunes.

Anybody cheeky with either Gabor Mate (The Myth of Normal) or Bessel van der kolk (if proper attribution; The Body Keeps the Score). Both into childhood trauma as explanations of whatevas, but their definition of trauma is mild compared to common sense. My interest was the psychosomatic (placebo effect e.g.) influence, aka psychoneuro-immunology/psychology or whatever these new fields might be. I've never had kids but always seemed obvious to me that early childhood experiences are going to play a heavy role. All over the map is not the territory.

Both are advocates of psychedelic therapy. Not just research, but therapy. As in sold. Not even a glimmer of movement towards understanding but anecdotal evidence soothes these ineffable thinkers. Our lifespans are rather short in their tolerance for comprehension.

Chills during music. I need transcendence. Share? Where? there there

Unrelated, but do people like money that much or am I missing the joke?
