More From Rainer Maria Rilke

Someone's killed 100,000 people. we're almost going, "well done! you killed 100,000 people? you must get up very early in the morning! i can't even get down the gym. your diary must look odd: 'get up in the morning, death, death, death, death, death, death, death - lunch - death, death, death - afternoon tea - death, death, death - quick shower ...' "

Life rises out of death, death rises out of life; in being opposite they yearn to each other, they give birth to each other and are forever reborn. and with them, all is reborn, the flower of the apple tree, the light of the stars. in life is death. in death is rebirth. what then is life without death? life unchanging, everlasting, eternal?-what is it but death-death without rebirth?

Are not the thoughts of the dying often turned towards the practical, painful, obscure, visceral aspect, towards the "seamy side" of death which is, as it happens, the side that death actually presents to them and forces them to feel, and which far more closely resembles a crushing burden, a difficulty in breathing, a destroying thirst, than the abstract idea to which we are accustomed to give the name of death?
Crush Death Breathing
By 'coming to terms with life' i mean: the reality of death has become a definite part of my life; my life has, so to speak, been extended by death, by my looking death in the eye and accepting it, by accepting destruction as part of life and no longer wasting my energies on fear of death or the refusal to acknowledge its inevitability. it sounds paradoxical: by excluding death from our life we cannot live a full life, and by admitting death into our life we enlarge and enrich it.
Mean Eye Reality
I don't necessarily view death as something negative. death gives meaning to life. living in fear of death is living in denial. actually, it's not really living at all, because there is no life without death. it's two sides of the one. you can't pick up one side and say, i'm just going to use the 'heads' side. no. it doesn't work like that. you have to pick up both sides because nothing is promised to anyone in this world besides death.

Come away with in the night come away with me and i will sing you a song come away with me on a bus come away where they can't tempt us with there lies i want to walk with you on a cloudy day in fields where the yellow grass grows knee-high so won't you try to come come away with me and we'll kiss on a mountain top come away with me and i'll never stop loving you and i want to wake up with the rain falling on a tin roof while i'm safe there in your arms so all i ask is for you to come away with me in the night come away with me.

Whence came i, whither go i? science cannot tell us a word about why music delights us, of why and how an old song can move us to tears. science is reticent too when it is a question of the great unity – the one of parmenides – of which we all somehow form part, to which we belong. the most popular name for it in our time is god – with a capital ‘g’. whence come i and whither go i? that is the great unfathomable question, the same for every one of us. science has no answer to it.
Song Moving Names
The wind has a language, i would i could learn! sometimes 'tis soothing, and sometimes 'tis stern, sometimes it comes like a low sweet song, and all things grow calm, as the sound floats along, and the forest is lull'd by the dreamy strain, and slumber sinks down on the wandering main, and its crystal arms are folded in rest, and the tall ship sleeps on its heaving breast.
Song Sweet Sleep
I think either you're creative or you're not. in general, i don't think you need to be in pain to actually be creative unless you're writing love songs. then you might need to have some ups and downs within your emotions to start to capture that.

And frankly, when i made that record, hit songs were not what i was trying to achieve.
