I have heard this song so many times, it's a favourite song on one of my favourite albums, but weirdly it was only last week that really HEARD the lyrics.
For me it's about having agency to choose your path, to reject darkness, to 'become what you make' and allow yourself to listen to the universe (the force?) speaking in your heart.

KT Tunstall - Push that knot away

May you always, may you always walk in hope
And may your days just be a way to walk along the great high road
When the dark comes, when the dark comes to your door
Will you deny him, don't recognize him
He's not welcome anymore
In your life, in your life, in your life

In the forest, in the forest when you hear
Something that scares you,
Be aware that it is frightened of you too

You can push that knot away, you can push that knot away
Yes, you can push that knot away, you can push that knot away
You can push that knot away, you can push that knot away

And in the morning, in the morning when you wake
It is a doorway for you to walk through to become what you make
And just remember you have heaven in your heart
It is inside you, and it will guide you so long as you listen hard

In your life, in your life, in your life

Daisy, you know this. You know this already
Daisy, you know this. You know this already
Daisy, you know this. You know this already
Daisy, you know this. You know this already

Ohh, ahh, you can push that knot away
you can push that knot away

Oh, oh, oh, ohh, you can push that knot away
you can push that knot away, uh ah

You can push that knot away, oh, oh, oh, oh
(Daisy, you know this. You know this already)
You can push that knot away, oh ah
(Daisy, you know this. You know this already)

You won't regret it, I'm betting you'll push that knot away
(Daisy, you know this. You know this already)
You won't regret it, I'm betting you'll push that knot away
(Daisy, you know this. You know this already)

Yes, you can push that knot away, you can push that knot away

Another Day, Rent

ROGER
Who do you think you are?
Barging in on me and my guitar
Little girl -- hey
The door is that way
You better go you know
The fire's out anyway
Take your powder -- take your candle
Your sweet whisper
I just can't handle
Well take your hair in the moonlight
Your brown eyes -- goodbye, goodnight
I should tell you I should tell you
I should tell you I should -- no!
Another time -- another place
Our temperature would climb
There'd be a long embrace
We'd do another dance
It'd be another play
Looking for romance?
Come back another day
Another day

MIMI
The heart may freeze or it can burn
The pain will ease if I can learn
There is no future
There is no past
I live this moment as my last
There's only us
There's only this
Forget regret
Or life is yours to miss
No other road
No other way
No day but today




ROGER
Excuse me if I'm off track
But if you're so wise
Then tell me -- why do you need smack?
Take your needle
Take your fancy prayer
And don't forget
Get the moonlight out of your hair
Long ago -- you might've lit up my heart
But the fire's dead -- ain't never ever gonna start
Another time -- another place
The words would only rhyme
We'd be in outer space
It'd be another song
We'd sing another way
You wanna prove me wrong?
Come back another day
Another day

MIMI
There's only yes
Only tonight
We must let go
To know what's right
No other course
No other way
No day but today

MIMI & OTHERS
I can't control
My destiny
I trust my soul
My only goal is just
To be
There's only now
There's only here
Give in to love
Or live in fear
No other path
No other way
No day but today...

ROGER
Control your temper
She doesn't see
Who says that there's a soul?
Just let me be...
Who do you think you are?
Barging in on me and my guitar
Little girl, hey
The door is that way
The fire's out anyway

ALL
No day but today
No day but today
No day but today
No day but today
No day but today

ROGER
Take your powder; take your candle
Take your brown eyes, your pretty smile, your silhouette
Another time, another place
Another rhyme, a warm embrace
Another dance, another way
Another chance, another day

I could pick so many songs by this band but mainly lyrics this one. I love their music and Chris Martin is a musical genius. Some may not agree with this having Jedi meaning but it stars up the feelings of fixing a broken soul to me.

When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

I'm new here however this seems to evoke Jediism to me. Life's journey and the ever changing path....

Mostly the chorus, but some of the verses, too :)


Born to Believe - Great Big Sea
The world is your oyster, so get yourself to sea.
Time is of the essence, so try to keep some free.
I’m a child and I’m a father, and I love my family.
There’s no place underneath the stars that I would rather be.

We are the difference between the present and the past.
We are the distance between the first and last.
My life will be unlimited and full shall be my past.
I am ready, I am willing, and I’m able for the task.

I was born to believe
I was born to believe
We are one; we are strong;
We can sing a different song;
Let the right shine through the wrong
We’re all here where we belong

No!
I’m not here to talk about freedom.
I’m not here to talk about love.
I’m just lucky I’m still breathin’ beneath the sky above.
You can leave your life of leisure waiting for the perfect rhyme
But while you keep on pushin’ me the things you’re missin’
The fight keeps kickin’ and it’s right on time and,

I was born to believe
I was born to believe
We are one; we are strong;
We can sing a different song;
Let the right shine through the wrong
We’re all here where we belong

This is an embarassing answer, but come on, I have nieces and nephews...

"Colors of the Wind" from Pocahontas

You think you own whatever land you land on
The earth is just a dead thing you can claim
But I know every rock and tree and creature
Has a life, has a spirit, has a name

You think the only people who are people
Are the people who look and think like you
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
You'll learn things you never knew, you never knew

Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned?
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?

Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
Come taste the sun-sweet berries of the earth
Come roll in all the riches all around you
And for once, never wonder what they're worth

The rainstorm and the river are my brothers
The heron and the otter are my friends
And we are all connected to each other,
In a circle, in a hoop that never ends

Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or let the eagle tell you where he's been
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind

How high does the sycamore grow?
If you cut it down, then you'll never know

And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
For whether we are white or copper-skinned
We need to sing with all the voices of the mountain
Need to paint with all the colors of the wind
You can own the earth and still
All you'll own is earth until
You can paint with all the colors of the wind

This song is a bit socialistic and anarchistic and I know not everyone subscribes to these ideologies but I think this song's general overlying message fits very closely to the Jedi philosophy. I have chosen "To The World" by Strike Anywhere.


Look how the ruts cling to my footsteps
The fatal invisible tool
By which we defy (we fight) for our approval
And fear our removal from the safety of fools

From the title force of our positions
No one (not one) to take for granted
Are our rebel hymns in canted
To sing in the mines of the fortunate sons?

Brothers in spirit, sisters in rage,
Will we live out our lives in this concrete cage?
Another heartbeat lost, another police murder
Buried from the public eyes on the back page
Heartbeats lost in a new world order
Hobbled and bound but still walking away

I pledge allegiance to the world
Nothing more, nothing less than my humanity
I pledge allegiance to the world
Searching for vision, not invisibility
I pledge allegiance to the world
Until the last lock breaks none of us are free
None of us are free...

We fight to balance our minds
Petty powers pushing profit over our lifetimes
World leaders mortgaging our lives with words
I don't need to be reminded of who you really serve

Brothers in spirit, sisters in rage,
Will we live out our lives in this concrete cage?
Another heart beat lost, another police murder
Buried from the public eyes on the back page
(Too many) heartbeats lost in the new world order
(While we're) standing alone with our backs to the maze

I pledge allegiance to the world
Nothing more, nothing less than my humanity
I pledge allegiance to the world
Until the last lock breaks none of us are free
I pledge allegiance to the world
Until the last lock breaks none of us are free
I pledge allegiance to the world
For nothing more, nothing less

In justice, in hunger united
Searching for vision united
In justice, in hunger united
Law and order, for whose order?

I pledge allegiance to the world
Nothing more, nothing less than my humanity
I pledge allegiance to the world
Until the last lock breaks, none of us are free
I pledge allegiance to the world
Under no nation will we ever be
I pledge allegiance to the world
For nothing more, nothing less
Than my humanity, than my humanity, than my humanity (Pledge allegiance)
To our humanit, to our humanity, to our humanity
(To the world!)

From the original French Concept album for "Les Miserables" (and my own direct translation into English - it loses the poetry, but I hope it keeps the meaning, lol)

A la volonté du peuple
Et à la santé du progrès,
Remplis ton cœur d'un vin rebelle
Et à demain, ami fidèle.
Nous voulons faire la lumière
Malgré le masque de la nuit
Pour illuminer notre terre
Et changer la vie.

Il faut gagner à la guerre
Notre sillon à labourer,
Déblayer la misère
Pour les blonds épis de la paix
Qui danseront de joie
Au grand vent de la liberté.

A la volonté du peuple,
Je fais don de ma volonté.
S'il faut mourir pour elle,
Moi je veux être le premier,
Le premier nom gravé
Au marbre du monument d'espoir.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Here's to the will of the people
And to the health of progress,
Fill your heart with the wine of rebellion,
And I'll see you tomorrow, faithful friend.
We want to bring light
Despite the mask of the night,
To illuminate our land,
And change life.

We must win the war,
It's our furrow to work at,
To plow away misery
For the golden grainstalks of peace
Which will dance for joy
In the great wind of freedom.

To the will of the people,
I donate my own will.
If I have to die,
I want to be the first,
The first name engraved
Into the marble of the monument to hope.

Incarnation by Dynazty

Our days have just begun but have we reached the end
We destroy the legacy we strive so hard to defend
The flame that’s burning low in time will dissapate
Everything will be undone if our will wont incarnate

The final curtain call, the hour is at hand
We stand in front of the lines drawn firmly in the sand
The scent of victory infest within our minds
The light from above will descend and shine upon mankind

Our towers of sand are now falling
The dawn of a new world is calling
The chain of hatred dissolving
Our will is embodied

See the incarnation, creation.
Behold our transformation
The final step towards another life free of condemnation
Ascension, redemption
This is the incarnation
We are all related as our souls are incarnated

We’ve travelled for so long but our journey’s just begun
One step forward at a time and thy will shall be done
The holy remedy resides within our hearts
We rise and quickly we fall but we never fall apart

Our towers of stone are now rising
New dreams we are realizing
The dawning future enticing
The fire’s ignited

See the incarnation, creation.
Behold our transformation
The final step towards another life free of condemnation
Ascension, redemption
This is the incarnation
We are all related as our souls are incarnated
