Seek Up by Dave Matthews Band
Sometimes I feel like I'm falling Fall back again, fall back again, Fall back again, fall back again Oh, life it seems a struggle between What we think what we see I'm not going to change my ways Just to please you or appease you Inside a crowd, five billion proud Willing to punch it out Right, wrong, weak, strong Ashes to ashes all fall down Look around about this round About this merry-go-round around If at all God's gaze upon us fall His mischievous grin, look at him

Forget about the reasons and The treasons we are seeking Forget about the notion that Our emotions can be swept away Forget about being guilty, We are innocent instead For soon we will all find our lives swept away

Sit awhile with TV's hungry child Big belly swelled Oh, for a price of a coke or a smoke Keep alive those hungy eyes Take a look at me, what you see in me, Mirror look at me Face it all, face it all again

Forget about the reasons and The treasons we are seeking Forget about the notion that your emotions can be Wept away, kept at bay Forget about being guilty, i am innocent instead For soon we will all find our lives swept away

You seek up an emotion And our cup is overflowing You seek up an emotion, Sometimes your well is dry You seek up a big monster For him to fight your wars for you But when he finds his way to you, the devil's not Going--ha, ha

Say, say

Look at me in my fancy car And my bank account Oh, how I wish I could take it all down Into my grave, I'd save Take a look again, take a look again, Take a look again Everyday things change,...stay the same

Forget about the reasons and The treasons we are seeking Forget about the notion that Your emotions can be swept away Intentions are not wicked, Don't be tricked into thinking so Soon we will all find our lives swept away

You seek up an emotion And our cup is overflowing You seek up an emotion, Sometimes your well is dry You seek up a big monster For him to fight your wars for you But when he finds his way to you, The devil's not going--ha, ha Fall back again, fall back again, fall back again...

This isn't necessarily a song or movie clip, but if you've ever been to the Philadelphia Museum of Art, you have probably seen some of the works of Marcel Duchamp. Duchamp was a French artist born in the late 1800's and is said to be one of "the most influential artists of the 20th century." He is often associated with the Dadaist and Surrealist art movements for his paintings, sculptures, and kinetic "anti-art." With his "readymade" works such as The Fountain and Bicycle Wheel, he "emphasized the conceptual value of a work of art, rather than relying on technical or aesthetic appeal; therefore making his pieces art simply because he designated them as such." Duchamp's untraditional approach to art paved the way for later styles such as Andy Warhol's Pop Art and Minimalism. A prolific artist, Marcel Duchamp's "greatest contribution to art lies in his ability to question, admonish, critique, and playfully ridicule existing norms in order to transcend the status quo." As one of my favorite artists, I enjoy the ironic and satirical qualities many of Duchamp's pieces posses. If you ever get a chance to go to the Philadelphia Museum of Art, I would highly recommend looking at Duchamp's "existential" artwork. -//Lydia// Information found at: [|//MarcelDuchamp.net//] [|//Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968)//]
