They think that love’s a lie,
But we can teach them how to try
Ooh, baby,
do you know what that’s worth?
Ooh, Heaven is a place on Earth
They say in heaven, love comes first
We’ll make heaven a place on earth
My world is a flood –
Slowly I become one with the mud
But the actual tendency of the geocentric system was, for the medieval mind, precisely the opposite. For the centre of the world was not a position of honor; it was rather the place farthest removed from the Empyrean, the bottom of the creation, to which its dregs and baser elements sank.
Into the flood again,
same old trip it was back then –
So I made a big mistake –
Try to see it once my way
From that day on, I began to think of people not as the masters of space and time but as participants in a great cosmic chain of being…
Neil deGrasse Tyson
The Cosmic Perspective
I got the message and the message is clear
You pull me close and we start to move
I have done a good thing,
I’ve got you moving,
everybody’s dancing
I saw the world spin beneath you
The earth laughs beneath my heavy feet,
at the blasphemy in my old jangly walk
And the one change of this kind implied by the abandonment of the geocentric system was, as is evident from what has already been said, the reverse of that often attributed to the new astronomy; to remove man from the centre of things was to raise him from his low estate.
And we’re spinning with the stars above
And you lift me up in a wave of love
Lift me up so high that I cannot fall
If you are confused, check with the sun –
Carry a compass to help you along
Your feet are going to be on the ground –
Your head is there to move you around
In a culture conditioned to think in categories of Cartesian dualism or of a pre-Copernican cosmology that split the heavens and the earth, Spinoza was taken either as an atheist who reduced everything to matter … or as a pantheist who believed God was everywhere.
They say in heaven, love comes first
We’ll make heaven a place on earth
Up and down
And in the end it’s only
round and round
Circle in the sand –
Round and round –
Never ending love is what we’ve found
Belinda is the debut studio album by American singer Belinda Carlisle. It was released on May 19, 1986 by I.R.S. Records. Carlisle began work on the album in 1985 following the breakup of the Go-Go’s, for whom she was the lead singer.
I.R.S. Records was a major American record label founded by Miles Copeland III, Jay Boberg, and Carl Grasso in 1979.
Miles Copeland III, the son of CIA officer Miles Copeland Jr., played many roles in the U.K. punk rock and new wave music industry of the middle to late 1970s: agent, manager, producer, magazine publisher, record company and label owner. His brother Ian was the head of a talent agency, Frontier Booking International (F.B.I.), while his brother Stewart played drums for The Police, a band that Copeland managed.
