Labyrinth: Bowie - As The World Falls Down ((DREAMWAVE)) Genre?


How amazing is The Labyrinth? Especially now that everyones into the new genre "Dreamwave" meaning 80s synths and smooth disco. A term coined by the band NightWaves, made popular by Futurecop! and others.
P.S. Nightwaves is playing on Wed. night (Oct. 29th) in Hollywood at Element which I think is a fucking 18+ club buttfuck it I'm going. who's down?

More Dreamwave Below!!!!

As The World Falls Down (Original "Vintage Dreamwave b4 dreamwave was dreamwave") - Bowie via Labyrinth
Just watching this clip and hearing the song instantly remind me of "Dreamwave." The subtle yet earnestness to find true love, if only to realize you're living in a fairy tale and floating through a maze of lies with little help from the goblins and gools who inhabit the world.


Many people believe in the "Labyrinth" is a sacred thing. For the way in is the way out.
Some jams from a website dedicated to the myths of a "Labyrinth".

"We are all on the path... exactly where we need to be. The labyrinth is a model of that path."

"A labyrinth is an archetype with which we can have a direct experience. We can walk it. It is a metaphor for life's journey. It is a symbol that creates a sacred space and place and takes us out of our ego to "That Which Is Within."

"At its most basic level the labyrinth is a metaphor for the journey to the center of your deepest self and back out into the world with a broadened understanding of who you are."


So basically. A Labyrinth is the key to our souls. There is, from at least what I can tell, no way to ever start or end your path in the labyrinth, unless we can say life is the beginning and death is the end.
