UNSCRIPTED Music?

[NoahK]

One of the things that really struck me when I read UNSCRIPTED was that it is a new and different (for me) mindset that helps me look at opportunities and values differently.

I also believe that new mindsets should be reinforced or they won't become habitual, and music is one great way to do that.

I've already noticed myself recognizing some lyrics that seem to speak about the SCRIPT and becoming or being UNSCRIPTED , and want to make a playlist to listen to while I am working. With MJ's permission, I could make a Spotify playlist to share.

There is a motivational music thread topherea started about Music that Motivates, but hopefully this is a little different.

Are there any on-point songs that you've found that gets you thinking about TMF or UNSCRIPTED ?

Here's one that does it for me:

If You Don't Care / Fake It
by Ki:Theory

this feeling i get has got me feeling so far away
i want to make you feel it too
a digital print of a criminal counterfeit
you can't fake it

it's never been you to worry what people say
but i can tell you something new
an original thought is a chance you've got to take
you can't fake it

oh my god...it's true
no one can get through to you

if you don't care then no one will
if you don't care then no one else will
you can stand behind the lies but the evidence tells
that if you don't then no one will
and no one else does

well maybe i need just a minute to sail away
if i could take you with me too
an original thought is a sin dumb people say
you can't save them

Well I know it wasn't you who held me down,
Heaven knows it wasn't you who set me free,
So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains
And we never even know we have the key...

 

[Longinus]

If you all want me to settle down
Then slow up and stop all my running 'round
Do everything like you want me to
There's one thing that I will say to you

I'm not like everybody else

Can't seem to find the lyrics where they say "and I don't wat to get a job like everybody else". This song was definitely too unscripted for the mainstream.

 

[c_morris]

This song by Bad Religion on the Stranger Than Fiction album stands out to me.

Inner Logic

Automatons with business suits clinging black boxes,
Sequestering the blueprints of daily life
Contented, free of care, they rejoice in morning ritual
As they file like drone ant colonies to their office in the sky

I don't ask questions, don't promote demonstrations,
Don't look for new consensus, don't stray from constitution
If I pierce the complexity I won't find salvation
Just the bald and over truth
Of the evil and deception

There is an inner logic,
And we're taught to stay far from it
It is simple and elegant,
But it's cruel and antithetic
And there's no effort to reveal it

Graduated mentors stroll in marbled brick porticos
In sagacious dialog they despise their average ways
Displaying pomp and discipline, they mold their institution
Where they practice exclusion on the masses every day

Decorated warriors drill harmless kids on pavement
Simulating tyranny under red alert
Protecting the opulent and staging moral standard
They expect redemption of character and self-growth

(no equality, no opportunity,
No tolerance for the progressive alternative)

Don't laugh...

It has no lyrics, but this:

Just stokes the emotions of living life to the fullest.

I envision MJ in a dark room dancing around sipping a fancy bottle of wine with the back glare of the forum from his computer monitor shining upon his beautiful soul.

Either this or soundtrack from the Gladiator movie or Skyrim video game (never played it but found it while listening on Diablo soundtrack when programming).
Yes, the singer is female!

being unscripted is like sending a message out in the world :

you don't have to live like this

this is like sending a message in a bottle and hoping that intelligence finds it

How has nobody posted this beauty. It's practically the Fastlane Theme Song:

View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmwic9kFx2c

You get up every morning from your alarm clock's warning
Take the 8:15 into the city
There's a whistle up above and people pushin', people shovin'
And the girls who try to look pretty
And if your train's on time, you can get to work by nine
And start your slaving job to get your pay
If you ever get annoyed, look at me I'm self-employed
I love to work at nothing all day

And I'll be taking care of business (every day)
Taking care of business (every way)
I've been taking care of business (it's all mine)
Taking care of business and working overtime, work out

If it were easy as fishin' you could be a musician
If you could make sounds loud or mellow
Get a second-hand guitar, chances are you'll go far
If you get in with the right bunch of fellows
People see you having fun just a-lying in the sun
Tell them that you like it this way
It's the work that we avoid, and we're all self-employed
We love to work at nothing all day

And we be taking care of business (every day)
Taking care of business (every way)
We be been taking care of business (it's all mine)
Taking care of business and working overtime

Mercy
Whoo
All right
Take good care of my business
When I'm away, every day
Whoo

You get up every morning from your alarm clock's warning
Take the 8:15 into the city
There's a whistle up above and people pushin', people shovin'
And the girls who try to look pretty
And if your train's on time, you can get to work by nine
And start your slaving job to get your pay
If you ever get annoyed, look at me I'm self-employed
I love to work at nothing all day

And I be taking care of business (every day)
Taking care of business (every way)
I've been taking care of business (it's all mine)

Tori Amos - Take to the Sky

This house is like Russia
With eyes cold and gray
You got me moving in a circle
I dyed my hair red today

I just want a little passion
To hold me in the dark
I know I've got some magic
Buried deep in my heart, yeah

But my priest says
You ain't saving no souls
My father says
You ain't making any money

My doctor says
You just took it to the limit
And here I stand
With this sword in my hand

You can say it one more time
What you don't like
Let me hear it one more time then
Have a seat while I take to the sky

My heart is like the ocean
It gets in the way
So close to touching freedom
Then I hear the guards call my name

But my priest says
You ain't taking no souls
My father says
You ain't making any money

My doctor says
You just took it to the limit
And here I stand
With this sword in my hand

You can say it one more time
What you don't like
Let me hear it one more time then
Have a seat while I take to the sky

If you don't like me just a little
Why do you hang around
There she goes again
Wearing those purple panties

There she goes again
Wearing her heart
There she goes again
Why do you take it

You can say it one more time
You can say it one more time
You can say it one more time
What you don't like

Let me hear it one more time then
Have a seat while I take to the sky

I heard Yanni and Bachman for the first time and it's great! Marty Friedman - Scenes has no lyrics but is a good one to listen while you work.

White Snake - Here I go Again

I don't know where I'm going
But, I sure know where I've been
Hanging on the promises
In songs of yesterday
An' I've made up my mind,
I ain't wasting no more time
But, here I go again
Here I go again

Tho' I keep searching for an answer,
I never seem to find what I'm looking for
Oh Lord, I pray
You give me strength to carry on,
'Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known,
Like a hobo I was born to walk alone
An' I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time

I'm just another heart in need of rescue,
Waiting on love's sweet charity
An' I'm gonna hold on
For the rest of my days,
'Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known,
Like a hobo I was born to walk alone
An' I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time

But, here I go again,
Here I go again,
Here I go again,
Here I go...

'Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

Here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
[x2]

'Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

Here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time

Wherever I May Roam - Metallica

Rover, wanderer
Nomad, vagabond
Call me what you will

But I'll take my time anywhere
Free to speak my mind anywhere
And I'll redefine anywhere

Anywhere I roam
Where I lay my head is home

...and the earth becomes my throne
I adapt to the unknown
Under wandering stars I've grown
By myself but not alone
I ask no one

AWESOME gym music too!

This one has subtle undertones of what you're after I think,...

Although they love Communism (despite earning Millions through a fastlane, in Capitalism) It is good to listen to when pissed off.
