BECK:
THE MUSINGS OF A FREE SPIRIT

I WILL LIVE MY LIFE FREE AS AN EAGLE SOARING ON THE WINDS OF TIME
3.   I CAN HAVE A HUNDRED LOVERS AND TRULY LOVE EACH ONE OF THEM IN THEIR OWN IMPERFECT WAY. BUT THEN THERE IS THE ONE THAT TOUCHES YOU BEYOND LOVE AND LEAVES YOU SPEECHLESS, FOR WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS. THIS IS THE ONE TO WHOM I WILL COMMIT MY SOUL AND MY DESTINY...BECK
4.   TO HOLD YOUR LOVER CLOSE, TO FEEL THE PULSATING WARMTH OF THEIR BODY; TO SAVOR THE SCENT OF THEIR SKIN; TO KNOW THEIR LITTLE INTRICACIES AND THE WAY YOU NOTICE A SINGLE TREE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A VIRGIN FOREST, IS THE MAGIC MOMENT!...BECK
1.   I AM A FREE SPIRIT; I WAS BORN FREE, I WILL LIVE FREE AND I WILL DIE FREE. AND ON MY JOURNEY I WILL ENJOY THE GREATEST PLEASURES LIFE HAS TO OFFER. JOIN ME ON THE JOURNEY TO TOTAL AND ABSOLUTE FREEDOM...BECK
2.   EVERY NEW LOVER IS A NEW ADVENTURE, A DELICIOUS WINE TO BE SAVORED; SOME DELICATE, SOME BOLD, SOME SO STRONG THEY MAKE YOU DRUNK FROM THE FRAGRANCE EVEN BEFORE THE FIRST SIP. GOD I LOVE WINE; LET US OPEN A NEW BOTTLE EVERY NIGHT... BECK
7.   MY BODY IS ALWAYS ALIVE WITH THE LAST ADVENTURE OF LOVE AND WAITING WITH ANTICIPATION FOR THE NEXT. SOMETIMES I MAKE LOVE TO SOMEONE WHO IS UNSEEMLY AND AT TIMES REPULSIVE. IT IS HUMBLING FOR ME, YET WHEN I SEE THE EXPRESSION OF ECTASY ON THEIR FACE AT THAT MOMENT, I SMILE WITH SATISFACTION KNOWING THAT I AND THE MOMENT WILL BE MEMORIALIZED FOREVER IN THEIR MIND AND BODY; AND THAT BRINGS ME PLEASURE....BECK.
8.   I ALWAYS SEEK PLEASURE AS OFTEN AS I CAN FIND IT. THERE IS SO MUCH SUFFERING IN THIS WORLD AND EVERYONE SHOULD SEEK PLEASURE AS OFTEN AS THEY CAN. BUT THERE ARE THOSE WHO ARE SUFFERING AND STRUGGLING, JUST BARELY TO SURVIVE . WE MUST HELP ANYONE AND EVERYONE AS OFTEN AS WE CAN TO RISE ABOVE THEIR SUFFERING AND ATTAIN AS MUCH PLEASURE IN THEIR LIVES AS THEY CAN. TO HELP THOSE IN NEED IS JUST ANOTHER FORM OF PLEASURE FOR ME....BECK.
5.   TO MAKE LOVE ON THE BEACH IN THE MIDNIGHT HOUR, THE BREEZE CARESSING MY SKIN; THE SURF TICKLING AND TEASING MY BODY, AND AS WE REACH THE SPONTANEOUS CLIMAX OF THE MOMENT, I GAZE INTO THE STARRY HEAVENS, LOST IN THE ONENESS AND THE WONDER OF IT ALL...BECK
6.   IT ALWAYS MAKES A GIRL SMILE WITH A WARM GLOW WHEN SHE RECEIVES A DOZEN RED ROSES, BUT WHEN SHE RECEIVES A CROWN OF WILDLOWERS WOVEN TOGETHER AND PLACED UPON HER HEAD BY A POOR GYPSY BOY PRESNENTED TO HIS PRINCESS AND THEY MAKE LOVE IN BROAD DAYLIGHT ON A BLANKET IN THE FOREST WITH THE SOUNDS OF NATURE ALL AROUND; THAT IS A MAGIC MOMENT THAT LINGERS IN HER HEART OF HEARTS FOREVER...BECK.
9.   AS I LOOK DOWN INTO MY LOVERS' EYES, AS I RIDE THE WAVES OF ECSTASY AND THEY LOOK BACK AT ME; THEY ALL LOOK DIFFERENT, YET THE SAME; AND IN THAT MAGIC MOMENT WHEN THEIR POWER IS RELEASED, EXPLODING INSIDE OF ME, SETTING US FREE; DOES IT REALLY MATTER IF I KNOW OR EVEN REMEMBER THEIR NAMES; ALL THAT REALLY MATTERS IS THE FLEETING MEMORY REMAINS UNTIL IT IS NO MORE, BLENDING AND MERGING WITH ALL THE LOVERS THAT HAVE COME BEFORE. AND THAT IS THE ONENESS OF LIFE....BECK.
10.   IN THE TWILIGHT OF THE WANING DAY, AS THE MOMENTS OF MY LIFE FADE AWAY WHAT WILL BE LEFT FOR ME TO CLING TO, OTHER THAN THE MEMORIES OF MY LOVERS' SMILES  THAT LINGER FOR A WHILE? AND THEY ARE MANY, THE PLEASURES I HAVE KNOWN, FLEETING MEMORIES THAT ARE SOON GONE BUT THEY ALL MERGE INTO ONE GREAT SEA OF PLEASURE, AN ENDLESS EBB AND FLO THAT TRAVELS WITH ME WHEREEVER I MAY GO....BECK.
11.   SO MANY, THE MULTITUDES OF STARVING HUNGRY PEOPLE IN THIS WEARY WORN WORLD; YET MULTITUDES DINING IN THE FINEST RESTAURANTS MONEY CAN BUY. PLEASURE COMES IN MANY FORMS BUT DO YOU STARVE TO DEATH BECAUSE OTHERS DO? IS IT NOT AN INJUSTICE TO THOSE WHO SUFFER IF YOU DENY YOURSELF THE CHANCE TO INDULGE IN PLEASURE AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY; LEST THEIR SUFFERING BE IN VAIN? I HUNGER, I FEAST UNTIL I AM SATISFIED; FOR THE MOMENT; UNTIL THE NEED RETURNS, AND IT ALWAYS DOES....BECK.
12.   SOMETIMES I WAIT IN THE DARK FOR AN UNKNOWN LOVER TO ARRIVE, MY HEART POUNDING WITH ANTICIPATION, LONGING FOR THE SURPRISE. I AM STARTLED BY A SUDDEN SILENT TOUCH; CAUGHT UNAWARES, I TREMBLE FOR A MOMENT. AND THEN THE SILENT DANCE IN DARKNESS BEGINS AND I LEARN OF HIS WAYS, HIS NATURE HIS PROGRESSION TOWARD THE ULTIMATE GOAL AND I LEARN TO FOLLOW HIS LEAD AND ALLOW HIM TO TAKE ME BLINDLY WHEREVER HE MAY CHOOSE, KNOWING ALL THE WHILE IT IS I WHO TRULY LEAD BY NOT RESISTING....BECK.
13.   I AM NOT AS YOUNG AS I USED TO BE, I HAVE MORE ADVENTURES TO COME; AND WHAT SHOULD IT BE THAT I SHOULD HAVE AS MEMORIES, BUT DAYS OF MERRIMENT AND FUN. TRADGEDY OF SUFFERING MAY COME TO ME, BUT ONLY MOMENTARILY THIS I KNOW; FOR I WILL ALWAYS SEEK AND FIND MY PLEASURES WHEREVER I GO....BECK.
14.   MIDSUMMER AFTERNOON, WE WALK ALONG THE MOUNTAIN STREAM, YOU, BARELY EIGHTEEN; BUT YOU FULFILLED MY WILDEST DREAMS; SO YOUNG, SO STRONG, SO VIRILE, WE MADE LOVE IN THE SUN IN THE SHALLOW OF THE STREAM. AND UNTIL THIS DAY, I STILL HAVE DREAMS OF YOU AND ME AND THE TRICKLING WATERS OF A MOUNTAIN STREAM. AND I WAS TWICE YOUR AGE BUT YOU TAUGHT ME WELL, SO IT SEEMS, AS I REMEMBER THE PLEASANT DREAM OF YOU AND ME AND THAT MOUNTAIN STREAM….BECK.
15.   I HAVE AWAKENED MANY A MORNING IN A MANSION UNDER SATIN SHEETS AND MANY A MORNING IN A SLEEPING BAG IN A TENT OR OUT IN THE OPEN AND AT TIMES IN THE BACK SEAT OF A CAR OR THE BED OF A TRUCK. SEVERAL TIMES I’VE AWAKENED ON A BLANKET BY THE SEA OR IN A HAYLOFT FROM A ROWDY ROMP IN THE WANING HOURS OF THE NIGHT. BUT ALL OF THAT IS PART OF BEING A FREE SPIRIT; YOU’RE NOT BOUND BY TRADITION, ETHNICITY, CULTURE OR BIAS OF ANY KIND, FOR WEALTH OR POVERTY EITHER ONE IS OF LITTLE VALUE WHEN IN THE THROES OF PASSION. THIS IS WHAT MAKES LIFE INTERESTING AND INTRIGUING, FOR I CAN DINE ON CHEESEBURGERS AND BEER OR CHAMPAGNE AND CAVIAR; AND TRUTH BE TOLD THEY ALL SATISFY MY HUNGER AND BRING ME PLEASURE….BECK.  
16.    HIS HAND WAS OLD AND WRINKLED AND I TOUCHED IT TO MY BREAST. HE CRACKLED A SMILE; I HELD IT CLOSE FOR A WHILE, WATCHING HIS EVERY BREATH. THEN I LEANED OVER, NAKED AND FREE AND KISSED HIM ON HIS CHEEK. HE LOOKED ME OVER, GAVE A WINK AND A SMILE AND THEN HE FELL OFF TO SLEEP. I LINGERED FOR A MOMENT, FEELING SO AT PEACE, FOR I HAD MADE THIS WEARY TRAVELER HAPPY, ON HIS FINAL JOURNEY TO ETERNAL PEACE. GOD IS LOVE AND LOVE I UNDERSTAND, FOR LOVE ALWAYS HAS A PURPOSE IN HIS PERFECT PLAN….BECK.
17.   IF I AM A WEALTHY WOMAN AND I HAVE MANY LOVERS; I AM CONSIDERED TO BE PART OF THE IN CROWD, A SOCIALITE, A PLAYGIRL, A WOMAN OF THE WORLD. BUT IF I AM A POOR WOMAN AND I HAVE MANY LOVERS, I AM CONSIDERED A SLUT, A WHORE, A DISGUSTING FILTHY SINNER. WHY IS THIS....BECK.
19.   NAKED IN THE NIGHT, MAKING LOVE
ON A BLANKET  BY CAMPFIRE LIGHT;
PASSIONATE SOULS, NTIMATE DELIGHT 
CRACKLING SPARKS ASCENDING HIGH
BLENDING WITH STARS SHINING BRIGHT. 
COOL MOUNTAIN AIR, WARMTH OF  FLAMES 
FEELING DREE ONLY PLEASURE REMAINS 
MOVING WITH  EARTH'S NATURAL RHYTHMS   
PASSION EXPLODES INSIDE ME LIKE HOT LAVA … 
AND WE LIE IN THE SILENCE…SATISFIED...BECK  
18.   THERE ARE A THOUSAND ANGELS THAT LIVE INSIDE OF ME AND A THOUSAND DEMONS AS WELL AND WHO YOU GET TO MAKE LOVE TO IS UP TO YOU; BUT IF YOU ARE LUCKY, YOU WILL GET TO MAKE LOVE TO ALL OF THEM….BECK.
