And I open my eyes
As the sun leaves the western sky
Precious memory dies
Once again you are here at my side

Blow wind blow
Through my heart let the four winds blow
And I'm back on the hill
Yes you've gone but you're with me still
Now I'm way down the line
Yes you're gone but you're still on my mind
Blow wind blow

Through my heart let the four winds blow
I've been walking with strangers and talking all out of my mind
While the dogs in the manger, elusive and so hard to find
Conversations with angels, I seek the dimensional key
I been wheeling and dealing whatever will bring you to me

Blow wind blow
Through my heart let the four winds blow
Blow wind blow
Through my heart let the four winds blow
I've been walking with strangers and talking all out of my mind
Now the dogs in the manger, elusive and so hard to find
Conversations with angels, I seek the dimensional key
I been wheeling and dealing whatever will bring you to me

    "Conversatoins with angels, I seek the dimensional key. I been wheeling and dealing whatever will bring you to me" =Great Line

    I really don't know if you're supposed to take this song literally. Sounds like the persons is a bit insane, which is really good for music....LOL.

    The song also has a western/rock/eerie/ kind of feel to it. To me, it's like someone is standing in line to heaven searching for someone.

    Ezekiel 37:9 - Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.

    From Wikipedia: "Within the system of Thelema founded by Aleister Crowley in 1904, the Holy Guardian Angel is the "Silent Self", representative of one's truest divine nature."... "Even though the HGA is, in a sense, the “higher self”, it is often experienced as a separate being, independent from the adept. In the system of Thelema, the single most important goal is to consciously connect with one’s HGA, a process termed “Knowledge and Conversation.” By doing so, the magician becomes fully aware of his own True Will."

    I'm still working on "dimensional key" maybe the Key of Solomon?

    The Four Winds - A. Crowley

    THE South wind said to the palms:
    My lovers sing me psalms;
    But are they as warm as those
    That Laylah's lover knows?
    
    The North wind said to the firs:
    I have my worshippers;
    But are they as keen as hers?
    
    The East wind said to the cedars:
    My friends are no seceders;
    But is their faith to me
    As firm as his faith must be?
    
    The West wind said to the yews:
    My children are pure as dews;
    But what of her lover's muse?
    
    So to spite the summer weather
    The four winds howled together.
    
    But a great Voice from above
    Cried: What do you know of love?
    
    Do you think all nature worth
    The littlest life upon earth? {179}
    
    I made the germ and the ant,
    The tiger and elephant.
    
    In the least of these there is more
    Than your elemental war.
    
    And the lovers whom ye slight
    Are precious in my sight.
    
    Peace to your mischief-brewing!
    I love to watch their wooing.
    
    Of all this Laylah heard
    Never a word.
    
    She lay beneath the trees
    With her lover at her knees.
    
    He sang of God above
    And of love.
    
    She lay at his side
    Well satisfied,
    
    And at set of sun
    They were one.
    
    Before they slept her pure smile curled;
    "God bless all lovers in the World!"
    
    And so say I the self-same word;
    Nor doubt God heard.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
