LIFE by Our Lady of Peace

How many times have you been pushed around?
Was anybody there? Does anybody care?
How many time have your friends let you down?
Was anybody there? Did anybody stare?

How many time have your friends let you down?
Just open up your heart Just open up your mind
How many times has your faith slipped away?
Well, is anybody safe? Does anybody pray?

Oh, Life is waiting for you It’s all messed up, but we’re alive
Oh, Life is waiting for you It’s all messed up, but we’ll survive

How many days have you just slept away?
Is everybody high? Is everyone afraid?
How many times have you wished you were strong?
Have they ever seen your heart? Have they ever seen your pain?

Oh, Life is waiting for you It’s all messed up, but we’re alive
Oh, Life is waiting for you It’s all messed up, but we’ll survive

She gets high She gets lost She gets drowned by the cost
Twice a day, every week, all her life

She gets high She gets lost She gets drowned by the cost
Twice a day, every week, all her life

Oh, Life is waiting for you It’s all messed up, but we’re alive
Oh, Life is waiting for you It’s all messed up, but we’ll survive
All messed up, but we’ll survive

Angst, sometimes called dread, anxiety or even anguish is a term that is common to many existentialist thinkers. It is generally held to be the experience of our freedom and responsibility. The archetypal example is the experience one has when standing on a cliff where one not only fears falling off it, but also dreads the possibility of throwing oneself off. In this experience that “nothing is holding me back”, one senses the lack of anything that predetermines you to either throw yourself off or to stand still, and one experiences one’s own freedom. – Existentialism, Angst

“Who needs another history of the modern movement? Coloquhoun, emeritus professor of architecture at Princeton, shows us why in this wonderfully succinct, readable, and opinionated account of movements and formgivers, from European art nouveau to the post-war decades in America. Each of the chapters focuses on a theme or a region, ranging from the artistry of Loos to the social engineering of Scandanavia. Though most of the examples are familiar, the author gives them a fresh spin–starting with the cover illustration of Hans Scharoun’s Schminke house of 1933, now restored and used as a day care center. It embodies the daring and idealism that powered the modern movement and is now being rediscovered.”–L.A. Architect
