Understanding everything but you know nothing at all ("Black crow", Jamiroquai)

Lately I always put this on when I'm getting in2 bed. It's on a Winamp playlist (yes, I still use Winamp. Parent tested, llama approved...or how did it go? : ) called ZZZZ. It's not 1st but I've been double clicking on it 1st & then putting Shuffle. Along with "Manifest Destiny" it's my fav slow Jamiroquai song (me hacen doler el esternón, they make my sternum hurt). I have memories of listening 2 it during a long winding (& nausea inducing : ) car ride through the mountains of Ecuador w/ Julia, Andrea & Pocha. We were on our way from Quito 2 Esteros del Plátano, an isolated beach in the province of Esmeraldas. That was one of the best trips of my life, together with the recent one 2 Berlin. We listened 2 Jamiroquai a lot, especially "Dynamite". That was also when I got in2 funk bc we were always listening 2 George Clinton, & I met los panas, the groovies, the funk soul brothers, who I am totally gonna write about one day. Patrice, Dub side of the moon, Bob Marley, Massive Attack... anyways.

He sees the stormy anger of the world
And wants no part of it at all
And as the weeping leaves of Autumn curl
He feels the savage winter call
See far below the dust of conflict settles on the hill
Where there was no escape before
And as he spreads his wings and soars up to another level
He brings the icy prophecies of war

Black crow, black crow, tell me where you really go
When you fly into the sunset, high in evening sky,
Black crow, black crow, tell me what you really know
Will we flourish in this hurricane, or will we fall and die?

While children lose their souls and so much more
To ragged armies of the field
A vicious fanfare cries appeasing hungry savages
To trigger that their fate is surely sealed
I wonder where that black crow sleeps as day beckons the night
Or if he even sleeps at all
I wonder what he thinks of all the human traffic far below
That's struggled on the road so, so long

Tell me black crow, black crow silently you pass above
Understanding everything but you know nothing at all
Black crow black crow, tell me what you really know
Do you understand the pain that we feel down here at all?
