Soma
Soma (Sanskrit: sóma) or Haoma (Avestan), from Proto-Indo-Iranian *sauma-, was a Vedic ritual drink of importance among the early Indo-Iranians, and the subsequent Greater Indian and Greater Iranian cultures. It is frequently mentioned in the Rigveda, whose Soma Mandala contains 114 hymns, many praising its energizing qualities. In the Avesta, Haoma has the entire Yasht 20 and Yasna 9-11 dedicated to it.
It is described as being prepared by extracting juice from a certain plant, the identity of which is now unknown and debated among scholars. In both Hinduism and Zoroastrianism, the name of the drink and the plant are the same, and also personified as a divinity, the three forming a religious or mythological unity.
There has been much speculation concerning what is most likely to have been the identity of the original plant. There is no consensus on the question, although some proposed candidates include Amanita muscaria, Psilocybe cubensis, Peganum Harmala, Ephedra sinica, and Cannabis sativa. Western experts outside the Vedic and Avestan religious traditions now seem to favour a species of Ephedra, perhaps Ephedra sinica.
Soma (song)
"Soma", originally called "Coma", is a track on the album Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins.
Overview
The song-writing credits list James Iha and Billy Corgan as co-authors, but Corgan claims that Iha only wrote the chord structure for the beginning of the song, and that Corgan himself wrote the rest. One of the longest songs to appear on a Smashing Pumpkins album, it is said to have included up to 40 guitar tracks over the course of the song. Corgan says the song "is based on the idea that a love relationship is almost the same as opium: it slowly puts you to sleep, it soothes you, and gives you the illusion of sureness and security." It was also acknowledged that song was inspired by Corgan's break-up with his ex-wife, Chris Fabian. The song also contains references to a hallucinogenic drug which was featured in Aldous Huxley's novel Brave New World and features a prominent piano figure by Mike Mills of R.E.M.
Reception
The song received positive reviews. Ned Raggett of Allmusic especially praised the song's guitar solo, while spotting elements from gothic rock and psychedelic rock. The song was also likened to Prince's "The Beautiful Ones". The critically acclaimed guitar solo was rated as the 24th in Rolling Stone's "The 25 Coolest Guitar Solos" list. The guitar solo was placed as 41st in NME's "50 Greatest Guitar Solos" list.
Is This It
Is This It is the debut studio album by American rock band The Strokes. Recorded at Transporterraum in New York City with producer Gordon Raphael, the album was first released on July 30, 2001, in Australia, with RCA Records as the primary label. The record entered the UK Albums Chart at number two and peaked at number 33 on the U.S. Billboard 200, going on to achieve platinum status in several markets. "Hard to Explain", "Last Nite", and "Someday" were released as singles.
For the album, The Strokes strived to capture a simple rock sound that was not significantly enhanced in the studio. Building on the work of their 2001 debut EP, The Modern Age, the band members molded compositions largely through live takes during the recording sessions, while songwriter Julian Casablancas continued to detail the lives and relationships of urban youth. Following the completion of Is This It, The Strokes embarked on a promotional world tour before its release. The album's cover photograph courted controversy for being too sexually explicit and was replaced for the U.S. market. The American track listing was also amended in light of the September 11 terrorist attacks.

Soma
by: EthsUn crÈpitement fait vibrer les tempes.
Il impÈrialise la perception.
Seul, dans les pas de mon ombre sur le chemin je vais...
...
La vie va et vient, cette masse en action haletante.
Troupeau bestial qui vit son instant, profite du moment.
Je la sens, la devine dans mon rÈveil obscur.
Seul, mince, un rayon clair parcours la piÕce.
Il me dÈgoØte, les cloches sonnent.
Je suis pourtant comme eux.
Je vois ces treize nouvelles heures.
A passer dans ma semence sordide.
Leur songe sophistiquÈ incarcÕre lentement.
Mon esprit calcinÈ, divergent.
Je me lÕve et m'habille, embrasse ma femme et ma fille.
Ma peau diurne me sert un peu.
Le trou quotidien s'ouvre.
Sauvez-moi.
Je me revois enchaÍnÈ Þ ma chaise.
Ils allument les feux, les cloches continuent Þ sonner.
J'entends chanter des litanies.
Mes pieds sont rÈduits en cendres.
Mes muscles craquent, ma moelle et mon sang sifflent.
Ma chair se consume comme du cuir rÈtrÈcit.
Deux bÁtons dessÈchÈs et noircis.
Les os de mes jambes pendent au dessus des flammes.
Qui montent, bientÒt lapent mes cheveux.
Ma tÉte est une boule de mÈtal en fusion.
Mes yeux Ètincellent puis fondent dans leurs orbites.
Si j'ouvre la bouche, je bois du feu.
Si je la ferme le feu est Þ l'intÈrieur et pourtant.
Les cloches sonnent toujours.
Sauvez-moi!
Je me situe entre les derniÕres limites de la partie humaine.
Et les frontiÕres de la vie supÈrieure.
Je ne connais pas les heures.
Mon Lucifer latent bourdonne Þ l'ombre de mon ouie.
La tÉte cornÈe, chantonne de sombres liturgies.
Je ne fuis, je ne puis.
Je ne suis pas fou ni loup.
J'entends sa rÈvolte lucifÈrienne.
Il rÕgne.
Il fait route vers le monde depuis que le monde est monde.
Je m'exÈcute Þ sa voix, il me nomme le sens occulte de son Èmoi.
A sa vue, je vomirais de peur tant son tronc est large et froid.
Il supplante ma couche dÈrobant bible et crucifix.
Vers minuit mon esprit se morcelle car je dois dÈfier dieu.
Je suis promis Þ la vie Èternelle je fais ces choses tant que je peux.
Tant qu'il m'appelle.
Je ne connais pas les heures.
Mon Lucifer sort du trou, noire lumiÕre.
Sa voix bestiale me dicte et m'Ètreint.
Je me fends en deux nous ne faisons plus qu'un.
Dans cette lumiÕre, tu seras Þ moi aux siÕcles des siÕcles.
Les tÈnÕbres seront les tÈmoins de notre union.
Et les foudres du ciel seront nos cierges.
Je possÕde, j'embrase nos Ètreintes par l'extrÉme onction.
Moi, le fiancÈ de la perdition.
Mon existence dÈvorÈe de l'anathÕme.
Aime moi sur l'autel brØlant du blasphÕme.
