Hi Angela - I don't think he played any venues taking massive crowds. At Rod Laver that is about 8,000/10,000 I think.

But really it didn't matter at all. I go to quite a lot of concerts and maybe for your big stage show type events it's good to be near the front, but with Leonard it didn't matter at all. It was such a different type of audience.
It was people who knew him, and everyone was so in-sync with the whole thing.

I've actually never been to any concert or music event quite like it. It was so very, very special. That man has such a way. Well he has for me, and I certainly think for most of those there too. It was a deep connection between performer, his musicians, and audience.

I have heard he has donated $200,000 to our bushfire appeal. Not bad hey? Considering from accounts a lot of the reason he toured again for the first time in 15 years is because he lost all his money thanks to his manager.

Think I am listing him in my Top 3 concerts ever. And I have seen a lot! Sublime, supurb!
Everyone knows my Number 1. That can't change because it simply can't. lol.

Cheers
Jen

To Thee from Me :))))

Nothing Else Matters – Metallica

So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from my heart
Forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
and nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters

never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but I know

So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from my heart
Forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters

never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but I know

I never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
and nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us, something new
Open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters

I never cared for what they say
I never cared for games they play
I never cared for what they do
I never cared for what they know
and I know….. yeah

So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from my heart
Forever trusting who we are
nothing else matters

Gentle Blessings. SF X X X

Jen.. I'm happy for you.
I was on a high when I got back from Tamworth, tired but high, and only because I was doing something and connecting to the music that I love.
In fact a friend & I saw Tenzin Cheogyl the weekend after- The Tibetan Book of the Dead, and that was extraordinary, we both walked out as if we were floating.

But back to Leonard, genius of thought & word.
I'm not going to see him (am sad & drop my bottom lip) because I don't fancy being with 50,000 others, if I go to see Cohen then I want to see Cohen.. hold out my hand to him ..have him see me & pass him a yellow rose.

angie :)

Hello, is there anybody out there...

Posted by: angela11 at February 11, 2009 2:29 PM

Leonard Cohen at Rod Laver Arena last night.

WOW!

An absolutely awe-inspiring, magical night. I simply can't put into words how truly wonderful the night was. Well, I suppose 3 standing ovations says a lot.

Does that man know how to write songs or what? Songs that cover the range of emotions in love and life. So deep, sexual, sensual, passionate. As song after song came, the sighs and feelings from the audience showed in abundance. Was truly magicial.

And then of course there was "Hallelujah" the song he wrote and to me still owns, no matter who else does a version of it.

I'm so on a high, just trying to work out if maybe I can see him again next week.

If you get the chance, please see this amazing artist. Ahhhhhhhhhh.

Jen

Hi there H2H :) … yep I agree, things are very quiet in Dodge City, but life out on the range seems to be getting pretty darn hot!!!!

Lovely to read "the heart" is still passionately beating. It's one of life wonders when we recognise & own the "deep down inside us" parts which most times are simple but make up the complex being of who we are :))))

Have you had a chance to jump on "the triple B" (bloody big bike) & head out for a ride lately? Sincerely hope you have & you enjoyed every moment of that "great to be alive feeling".

Keep the passion flowing, it's the only way to go!!!! :))

Take care. Gentle Blessings. SF

PS. OBD said "bloody great choice of song" & to pass on a G'day to you.... He sent up a smoke signal, 'cause life in the outback has fried most of the communications!!! "Toast" comes to my mind :)

Wonder Of Life ~ Tukan

Love is the place where we came from
Created in passion, and harmony
And why can't we live with this love?
Together.. in humanity

When daylight surrenders into twilight
And ten billion stars light up the night
We are all a part of this great wonder
And Earth keeps on spinnin' in the light

Take one look at what's around you
It's all a part, of who you are
Love is what makes you stronger
No matter.. near or far

When daylight surrenders into twilight
And ten billion stars light up the night
Everyday is a miracle, a wonder
And Earth keeps on spinnin' in the light

Ohh.. ohh..

When daylight surrenders into twilight..
And ten billion stars light up the night..

Everyday the world keeps on movin'
Surely it wants, and wait for you
So you better enjoy what you,re doing
Every second, every minute, every hour, of the way..

When daylight surrenders into twilight
And ten billion stars light up the night
Everyday is a miracle, a wonder
And Earth keeps on spinnin' in the light

When daylight surrenders into twilight
And ten billion stars light up the night
We are all apart of this great wonder
And Earth keeps on spinnin' in the light..

Gone a bit quiet in here of late, and I'd like to quash the rumours that 'Heart is MAD', 'Heart is a multiplexer'... or 'Heart is...[insert your favourite insult here]'

No, Heart has been busy just travelling life's 'Dusty Highway' (read: working his butt off)... but still taking time to read the Blogs that count, and to reflect on the inside, and continue dreaming of the outside.

Speaking of 'highways' (and not wishing to take anything away from SF's wonderful rendition of Akka Dakka), I'd like to post this one up. The lyrics themselves remind me of the senses that were working overtime in my Bio, and that magic feeling of 'just cos'...

Bob Seger - Roll Me Away

Took a look down a westbound road,
Right away I made my choice
Headed out to my big two-wheeler,
I was tired of my own voice
Took a bead on the northern plains
And just rolled that power on

Twelve hours out of Mackinaw City
Stopped in a bar to have a brew
Met a girl and we had a few drinks
And I told her what I'd decided to do
She looked out the window a long, long moment
Then she looked into my eyes
She didn't have to say a thing...
I knew what she was thinkin

Roll, roll me away,
Won't you roll me away tonight
I too am lost, I feel double-crossed
And I'm sick of what's wrong and what's right
We never even said a word,
We just walked out and got on that bike
And we rolled...
And we rolled clean out of sight

We rolled across the high plains
Deep into the mountains
Felt so good to me
Finally feelin free

Somewhere along a high road
The air began to turn cold
She said she missed her home
I headed on alone...

Oh...

Stood alone on a mountain top,
Starin out at the great divide
I could go east, I could go west,
It was all up to me to decide
Just then I saw a young hawk flyin
And my soul began to rise
And pretty soon
My heart was singin...

Roll, roll me away,
I'm gonna roll me away tonight
Gotta keep rollin, gotta keep ridin,
Keep searchin till I find what's right
And as the sunset faded
I spoke to the faintest first starlight
And I said next time
Next time...
We'll get it right

[Roll me away...Roll me away...Roll me away...]

Always remember: Love, peace, and happiness - the rest is just 'colouring'.

Take care Bloggers that have shared my sentiments - you are all graceful people, and deserve the very best that this life has to offer.

"A Heart is a rare gift indeed
It can lead you into trouble, yet help a friend in need.

It can hurt you like all bloody hell
But make the Soul just rise and swell

It can mean the difference of just being
Or living life with a meaning

It's what pushes us to reach the sky
And know within us that we shan't die

For while we choose to share our Heart
We shall never ever be apart..."

Take that time it takes to look out the window, for a long, long moment.......

JOHN MARTYN
11th September 1948 - 29th january 2009

If you kissed the sun right out of the sky for me
And if you told me all the lies that I deserve
And if you laid all night in the rain for me
Well, I couldn't love you more
I just couldn't love you more
I couldn't love you more
And if you loved me till my eyes gave no more shade for you
If you walked beside me all the long way home
If you wasted all of your time on me
Well, I couldn't love you more
I just couldn't love you more
I couldn't love you more
And if you gave me all the things I'd never ask of you
And if you showed me all the ways you have to cry
And if you laid all night in the rain for me
I couldn't love you more
I just couldn't love you more

SF you are so right, When will John Williams stop write great song, his latest tune
Australia Is Another Word For Free
speaks to the heart & sum up how l feel about Australia & sings to my Nomadic soul :)))

Posted by: outbackdrifter at January 26, 2009 7:45 PM

this song tells it all :)))

I Am Australian

I came from the dream time, from the dusty red soil plains,
I am the ancient heart - the keeper of the flame,
I stood upon the rocky shore, I watched the tall ships come,
For forty thousand years I'd been the first Australian.
We are one but we are many
And from all the lands on earth we come,
we share a dream,
And sing with one voice,
I am, you are, we are Australian.
I came upon the prison ship bound down by iron chains
I cleared the land, endured the lash and waited for the rains.
I'm a settler, I'm a farmer's wife on a dry and barren run
A convict then a free man, I became Australian.
I'm the daughter of a digger who sought the mother lode
The girl became a woman on the long and dusty road
I'm a child of the depression, I saw the good times come
I'm a bushy, I'm a battler, I am Australian.
We are one but we are many
And from all the lands on earth we come,
we share a dream,
And sing with one voice,
I am, you are, we are Australian.
I'm a teller of stories, I'm a singer of songs
I am Albert Namatjira, and I paint the ghostly gums
I am Clancy on his horse, I'm Ned Kelly on the run
I'm the one who waltzed Matilda, I am Australian.
I'm the hot wind from the desert, I'm the black soil of the plains
I'm the mountains and the valleys, I'm the drought and flooding rains
I am the rock, I am the sky, the rivers when they run
The spirit of this great land, I am Australian.
We are one but we are many
And from all the lands on earth we come,
we share a dream,
And sing with one voice,
I am, you are, we are Australian.

Great songs for a day & great country

Goanna - Solid Rock - Goanna

Out here nothin' changes, not in a hurry anyway
You feel the endlessness with the comin' of the light o' day
We're talkin' about a chosen place
You wouldn't sell it in a marketplace, well
Well just a minute now

Standing on solid rock
Standing on sacred ground
Living o-on borrowed ti-i-i-ime
And the winds of change are blowin' down the line
Right down the line

Round about the dawn o' time, When dreamin' all began
A croud o' people came
Well they were looking for their promised land
Were running from the heart of darkness
Searching for the heart o' light
Well it was their paradise

But they were standin' on - solid rock
Standing o-on sacred grou-ound
Living o-on borrowed ti-i-i-ime
And the winds of change were blowing cold that night
Oh

They were standin' on the shore one day, Saw the white sails in the sun
Wasn't long before they felt the sting, white man, white law, white gun
Don't tell me that it's justified, 'cause somewhere, someone lied
Yeah well someone lied, someone lied, genocide
Well someone lied, oh, ahh

And now you're standing on - solid rock
Standing o-on a sacred grou-ound
Living o-on borrowed ti-i-i-ime
And the winds of change are blowin' down the li-ine

Solid rock, Standing on sacred ground
Living o-on borrowed ti-i-i-ime
And the winds of change are blowing down the line
Solid rock, Standing o-on sacred grou-ound
Living o-on borrowed ti-i-i-ime
And the winds of change are blowing down the line
Oh-oh-oh no, NO-O

Crash & Burn ~ Savage Garden

When you feel all alone
And the world has turned its back on you
Give me a moment please to tame your wild wild heart
I know you feel like the walls are closing in on you
Its hard to find relief and people can be so cold
When darkness is upon your door and you feel like you cant take anymore

Let me be the one you call
If you jump Ill break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
Youre not alone

When you feel all alone
And a loyal friend is hard to find
Youre caught in a one way street
With the monsters in your head
When hopes and dreams are far away and
You feel like you cant face the day

Let me be the one you call
If you jump Ill break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
Youre not alone

And there has always been heartache and pain
And when its over youll breathe again
Youll breath again

When you feel all alone
And the world has turned its back on you
Give me a moment please
To tame your wild wild heart

Let me be the one you call
If you jump Ill break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
Youre not alone

Gentle blessings & eternal thanks to my family who came before & battled so hard for me to have the freedom I have today. My paternal grandparents. My grandmother who fled Germany as a young woman. My grandfather who came to this country as an orphan boy of 14 & started his life journey in Victoria working the tall timbers & lived in a tin & hessian hut. My paternal great great grandparents. They roamed three states of our country during the gold rush years & the great depression. He was a boot maker & she was the shopkeeper who grew food to bottle & sell. Yep gypsy in the blood :)

The Day You Went Away ~ Wendy Matthews

Hey, does it ever make you wonder what's on my mind
I was only ever running back to your side
I never cried, I just watched my life go by
It's just a pack of lies, cos you're leaving me behind

Hey, there's not a cloud in the sky
It's as blue as your goodbye
And I thought that it would rain
On the day you went away...

Well after this long is there nothing I'll keep
Oh I can shout, you'll pretend you're asleep
I live a lie, believing that you're mine
It's just a waste of time, cos you're leaving me behind

Hey, there's not a cloud in the sky
It's as blue as your goodbye
And I thought that it would rain
On the day you went away...

Hey does it ever make you wonder what's on my mind
I was only ever running back to your side

Hey, there's not a cloud in the sky
It's as blue as your goodbye
And I thought that it would rain
On the day you went away...

... on a day like today

Hey there's not a cloud in sight
It's as blue as your blue goodbye
And I thought that it would rain
The day you went away...

Suicide Blonde ~ INXS

Suicide blonde
Suicide blonde
Suicide blonde
Suicide blonde
Suicide blonde
Was the colour of her hair
Like a cheap distraction
For a new affair
She knew it would finish
Before it began
Something tells me you lost the plan

Chorus
You want to make her
Suicide blonde
Love devastation
Suicide blonde
You want to make her
Suicide blonde
Love devastation
Suicide blonde

She stripped to the beat
But her clothes stay on
White light everywhere
But you cant see a thing
Such a squeeze
A mad sad moment
Glory to you
Glory to you
Take me there
Take me there

Got some revelation
Put into your hands
Save you from your misery
Like rain across the land
Dont you see
The colour of deception
Turning your world around again

Highway To Hell ~ AC/DC

Livin' easy, livin' free - season ticket on a one-way ride

Treaty ~ Yothu Yindi

Well I heard it on the radio
And I saw it on the television
Back in 1988
All those talking politicians
Words are easy, words are cheap
Much cheaper than our priceless land
But promises can disappear
Just like writing in the sand

Treaty Yeh Treaty Now
Treaty Yeh Treaty Now

Nhima Djatpangarri nhima walangwalang -

This land was never given up
This land was never bought and sold
The planting of the Union Jack
Never changed our law at all

Now two rivers run their course
Separated for so long
I'm dreaming of a brighter day
When the waters will be one

Treaty Yeh Treaty Now Treaty Yeh Treaty Now
Treaty Yeh Treaty Now Treaty Yeh Traty Now

Nhima djatpa nhe walang

But promises can be broken Just like writing in the sand

Rattlin' Bones ~ Casey Chambers & Shane Nicholson

Smoke don't rise
Fuel don't burn
Sun don't shine no more
Late one night, sorrow come round
Scratching at my door
But I cut my hands
And break my back
Draggin' this bag of stones
Till they bury me down, beneath the ground
With the dust and rattlin' bones

Left my home and left my love
Caught on a rusty nail
Devil rose up, heavy with gold
My soul's not for sale
Then a holy man in a house of God
He offered me a book of prayer
And when I left my home I left my love
I left my faith back there

Smoke don't rise
Fuel don't burn
Sun don't shine no more
Late one night, sorrow come round
Scratchin' at my door
But I cut my hands
And break my back
Draggin' this bag of stones
Till they bury me down, beneath the ground
With the dust and rattlin' bones

Shuttin' my eyes and hang my head
Darkness makes no sound
Climb it up, bottom there
Earth's on the way back down
When a sadness falls on the morning bird
Wonder what the day will bring
But I'm shuttin' my eyes and hang my head
At least that bird can sing

Smoke don't rise
Fuel don't burn
Sun don't shine no more
Late one night, sorrow come round
Scratchin' at my door
But I cut my hands
And break my back
Draggin' this bag of stones
Till they bury me down, beneath the ground
With the dust and rattlin' bones

Till they bury me down, beneath the ground
With the dust and rattlin' bones

Mr Garrett you have disappointed me! You sold your soul. The song by Pink *Mr President* is more applicable for you�.. How do you sleep at night Mr Garrett?

Drop In The Ocean ~ Midnight Oil

Here comes the olive branch man
Hell press it any way he can
He tries so hard to understand

Here comes the tired statesman
Heavy lidded bearded nowhere left to land
He makes the jigsaw fit
With a hammer in his hand
Its just a drop in the ocean

Here comes the nightmare man
Hes got the numbers bottom line and sleight of hand
Hes smiling everywhere he can with feeling
For every fallen soldier every grain of sand
Its just a drop in the ocean

Wildlife Warriors It's Time ~ John Williamson

It's time to think of why we're proud to be a part of
A land so ancient, so hard to get a hold of
Why the kangaroo and emu is on the baggy green
Why do we sing of coolabahs, billabongs and cockatoos
Do we really care, are we aware of what we lose
While we knock it down again and again and again

C'mon wattle soldiers, wildlife warriors get angry
They'll call you green, they'll call you red
Just stay strong and turn your head
And think of little bilbies and gliders and rare wallabies
Now's the time to stir again
It's time, it's time, it's time, it's time, IT'S TIME

Yeah, it's time to stop the slaughter of our native land
No more telling lies, drawing lines in the sand
Maybe we didn't know but surely now it's underhand
No more crocodile tears, did he die in vain
Did he make us cry, did he suffer all his pain
So we could knock it down again and again and again

True Blue ~ John Williamson

Hey True Blue
Don't say you've gone
Say you've knocked off for a smoko
And you'll be back later on
Hey True Blue

True Blue
Give it to me straight
Face to face
Are you really disappearing
Just another dying race
Hey True Blue

Chorus:
True Blue
Is it me and you
Is it Mum and Dad
Is it a cockatoo
Is it standing by your mate
When he's in a fight
Or will she be right
True Blue
I'm asking you
Hey True Blue
Can you bear the load
Will you tie it up with wire
Just to keep the show on the road
Hey True Blue

Hey True Blue
Now be fair dinkum
Is your heart still there
If they sell us out like sponge cake
Do you really care
Hey True Blue

True Blue
Is it me and you
Is it Mum and Dad
Is it a cockatoo
Is it standing by your mate
When she's in a fight
Or will she be right
True Blue
I'm asking you

True Blue
Is it me and you
Is it Mum and Dad
Is it Steve Irwin too
Is it standing by your mate
When he's in a fight
Or will she be right
True Blue
True Blue

Looking Forward Looking Back ~ Slim Dusty

Looking forward, looking back
I’ve come a long way down the track
Got a long way left to go
Making songs, from what I know

Making sense of what I’ve seen
All the love we’ve had between
You and I, along the track
Looking forward, looking back

There are strange days
Full of change on the way
But we’ll be fine, unlike some
I’ll be leaning forward, to see what’s coming

Looking forward, looking back
I’ve come a long way down the track
Got a long way left to go
Making songs, from what I know

If I’m alone at night, I can see
Through all the triviality
Of the day and I’m okay
I just think of those who are dear to me

Looking forward, looking back
I’ve come a long way down the track
Got a long way left to go
Making songs, from what I know
Making songs, from what I know
Looking forward, looking back …

But youre the best I ever had
I never worry youre so fine
From now on babe Im gonna be by your side

Hi all l have spending the weekend cleaning.........What fun Not :)). anyway being digging into my cd collection & Brian Adams turned up on the stereo, here is a few of his best ;), these songs are for you

The Only Thing That Looks Good On Me

I dont look good in no armani suits
No gucci shoes - or designer boots
Ive tried the latest lines from a to z
But theres just one thing that looks good on me

The only thing I want
The only thing I need
The only thing I choose
The only thing that looks good on me...is you

Im not satisfied with versace style
Put those patent leather pants - in the circular file
Sometimes I think - I might be lookin good
But theres only one thing that fits me like it should

The only thing I want
The only thing I need
The only thing I choose
The only thing that looks good on me...is you

Ya its you - it could only be you
Nobody else will ever do
Ya baby its you - that I stick to
Ya we stick like glue

The only thing I want
The only thing I need
The only thing I choose
The only thing that looks good on me...is you

Well I've seen this out & I'm chuffed. Thank you RSVP for allowing my endless posts to go through :) I feel this topic will reach 1,000 in time for Australia Day. Hopefully those reading this blog might post a great song from one of our local talented Aussie bands or artists over the next day or so.

This last song I love & has been sung by some great performers. Joe Cocker & John Hiatt are two. I would have loved to have heard Bon Scott sing it. Some of the artists I reckon who should give it a go are Bon Jovi, Jimmy Barnes, Phil Collins in the oldies group & some of the up & coming guys we are so blessed to now have around. I connect with a song by how I feel & hear it. The reason behind why the song was written or performed is not always my reason for the connection...

I understand the *playing out of a new relationship* on this site can be tedious for others. I've read & watched the crashes & burns since I joined this site 2 years ago. What happens between two adult people is private and I respect our privacy. But I also wish to publicly acknowledge a wonderful man. I am very proud of the man who has taken the time & made a caring effort to connect with me. I dedicate this song to this man.

Drifter Honey, thank you for all your support, your unlimited patience & gentle care over the last five months. From the moment I spotted ya butt way back last year I was intrigued ;) Sorry.... nah, I'm not :)))) Your written profile had the wow factor for me! After years in the marketing industry it takes a lot of ownership & honesty to make me go *WOW* :)..... For me there is nothing more desirable than a man who knows who he is, knows what he wants, has true belief in him self & stands proud. You stand with both feet firmly planted on our planet & you take ownership of your life decisions. I have great faith in you the person. Your capacity, willingness & openness to grow to be a better person for your self & for others is a quality I admire & deeply respect. Your passion for life is an inspiration to me. Your open honesty, strength of character, & personal ethics are a reflection of the wonderful human you are. And your care of our planet is an important part of my personal ethics & what I seek & expect in others. We are not the owners of this planet we are the caretakers.

Yep, bring on the bare feet on the dashboard adventure.... I'm not sure if I'll last the distance in this city. I strongly feel I'll bolt north before we meet in Alice but I know you will track me down. That bush block where I can live a more gentle sustainable life is calling me...... Yep *The Mad Bush Block Crone* has immerged from the ashes. My immergence of true self has nothing to do with feminism......

Sincere wishes good for peaceful times to others who venture past this way on RSVP. The journey is what you make of it.... for some it's a new beginning, for others it's a way to find your self, some find the security to be with others who are in the same place in their life, & for some it's a stepping stone to a new life.. the capacity to *see it as it is for you* is the greatest gift you can give your self. Honour & believe in your dreams & strive to be the best you can be for you :) you will attract goodness into your life. Gentle Blessings. SF. X X X

Have A Little Faith

When the road gets dark
And you can no longer see
Just let my love throw a spark
And have a little faith in me
And when the tears you cry
Are all you can believe
Just give these loving arms a try
And have a little faith in me

Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me

And when your secret heart
Cannot speak so easily
Come here darling, from a whisper start
And have a little faith in me
And when your back's against the wall
Just turn around and you, you will see
I will catch you, I will catch your fall
Just have a little faith in me

Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me

'Cause I've been loving you, for such a long, long time
Expecting nothing in return
Just for you to have a little faith in me
You see time, time is our friend
'Cause for us, there is no end
And all you gotta do, is have a little faith in me
I will hold you up, I will hold you up
And your love, gives me strength enough to
Have a little faith in me
Hey hey
All you gotta do for me girl
Is have a little faith in me

Live your dream today. SF. X X X

Company Sin ~ John Butler

Ben got a job, at the mine along the way
He said eveything was fine until that fateful day
thats when his life started to change,
the day he went to help and go blow up that mountain range
he been moved to town a year ago or maybee more
straight out of high school,
the whole he had in store,
Wanted to travel, needed some dough
eveybody worked the mines why should he say no
But don't ask him why,
He can't explain, why
now things for him have changed
Its not his land
They're not his songs
he can't work out why he don't belong

Part of the company
Part of the company
Part of the company sin
Wont someone please tell the lad when humbug did begin.

Now legend has it,
or so they say
The bones of an ancient people,
yeh thats where they lay
And their decendants hold close to heart,
oh that mountain range ben was helping to blow apart
And so i said things for ben werent quite right
now hes waking up screaming man every single night
Hearing voices in different tounge
The screaming of the old
yeah the screaming of the young
Don't ask him why,
He can't explain, why
why now he feels its so much pain
Its not his land
They're not his songs
he can't work out why he don't belong

part of the company
Part of the company
Part of the company sin
Wont someone please tell the lad when humbug did begin.

Now Bens moved on
job left him a while back
Now he's thanking God that his boss gave him the sack.
But in the mirror, yes he can face
The day he stopped helping go blow up that sacred place
now he ain't
part of the company
part of the company
part of the company sin
now he knows when all that humbug did begin

Home Is Where The Heart Is ~ John Butler

Hard working people from another land
looking for a little more
Coming to this country for a helping hand
You know they sail their ships upon these shores
And they are lookin for a freedom
that most of us don't appreciate
But you know man we can't let them in
Coz the government's full of racial hate

And then they go the nerve to say
They be takin our culture away
even though our ancestors tried to do the same to the Aborigine
Seems strange to me man strange to me
Don't it seem strange to you
That a country founded on immigration
is so damned racist too

And i say Home
Home is where the heart is
yeah Home

And then they got the nerve to say
they be takin our jobs away
Even though half the jobs that we're working for
are owned from overseas
and the other half of the companies
Yes Yes that they say that we rightly own
They operate on aisle three third world
That's right yeah the sweat shop zone

And I say I don't know what's going on
Don't know what the hell to say
The government decides on letting refugees in
and when they get here yes they are detained

And i don't know what's going on
Don't know the reason why
We live in an educated so called democracy
Where everybody decides to believe in lies
Believe in lies

Home is where the heart is yeah
Home.

Brand New Day ~ Alex Lloyd

When you feel as though your falling
Every fear you can confide
When the night time is your dawning
Hard to see through troubled eyes

What you wanted so
Had to let it go

Brand new day is coming round the bend
Troubles reaching for the end
If you stray from the path my friend
I will pick you up again

Hard to wake up in the morning
Hard to see through so much light
With every dream you've had gone calling
Makes it harder to believe

What you wanted so
Had to let it go

Brand new day is coming round the bend
Troubles reaching for the end
If you stray from the path my friend
I will pick you up again
I will pick you up again
Troubles reaching for the end

Everything that starts must end
Reaching for a new beginning
Everything that starts must end
Reaching for a new beginning

Brand new day is coming round the bend
Troubles reaching for the end
If you stray from the path my friend
I will pick you up again
I will pick you up again
Troubles reaching for the end

Said I'm lonely won't you let me in
I'm longing for the day.

Amazing ~ Alex Lloyd

When all you want to do is rock,
But you don't want to bear the sock no more,
When it's just sweat that fills your eyes,
Belated feelings that you have denied.

When every wolf is at your door,
Just like a hundred times before,
But you don't want to leave the end.

Cause you were amazing,
And we did amazing things,
And I wouldn't change it,
Cause we were amazing things.

Rebuilding bridges in your mind,
Your eagerness now is on the line,
The plastic mountain at your feet,
Divided streets now as you look to find a seat.

When every wolf is at your door,
Just like a hundred times before,
But you don't want to see the end.

You were amazing,
And we did amazing things,
And I wouldn't change it,
Cause we were amazing things.

And I really didn't want that push today,
No I really didn't want to end this way,
But the things that seem to bind us,
Are the things we put behind us on this day.

Cause you were amazing,
And we did amazing things,
And I wouldn't change it,
Cause we were amazing things.

Cause you were amazing,
And we did amazing things,
And I wouldn't change it,
Cause we were amazing things.

A haunting song...

The Blower's Daughter ~ Damien Rice

And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her skies

I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...

And so it is
Just like you said it should be
We'll both forget the breeze
Most of the time
And so it is
The colder water
The blower's daughter
The pupil in denial

I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...

Did I say that I loathe you?
Did I say that I want to
Leave it all behind?

I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you...
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind...
My mind...my mind...
'Til I find somebody new

Sorrow ~ Flyleaf

Sometimes life seems too quiet
Into paralyzing silence
Like the moonless dark
Meant to make me strong

Familiar breath of my old lies
Changed the color in my eyes
Soon he will perforate the fabric of the peaceful by and by

Sorrow lasts through this night
I'll take this piece of you
And hope for all eternity
For just one second I felt whole
As you flew right through me

Left alone with only reflections of the memory
To face the ugly girl that's smothering me
Sitting closer than my pain
He knew each tear before it came
Soon He will perforate the fabric of the peaceful by and by

Sorrow last through this night
I'll take this piece of You
And hope for all eternity
For just one second I felt whole
As You flew right through me

And we kiss each other one more time
And sing this lie that's halfway mine
The sword is slicing through the question
So I won't be fooled by his angel light

Sorrow lasts through this night
I'll take this piece of you
And hope for all eternity
For just one second I felt whole
As you flew right through me
And up into the stars

Joy will come

Another song from the movie Mr & Mrs Smith. Some people may remember this band....

Making Love Out of Nothing ~ Air Supply

I know just how to whisper
And I know just how to cry
I know just where to find the answers
And I know just how to lie
I know just how to fake it
And I know just how to scheme
I know just when to face the truth
And then I know just when to dream

And I know just where to touch you
And I know just what to prove
I know when to pull you closer
And I know when to let you loose
And I know the night is fading
And I know the time's gonna fly
And I'm never gonna tell you
Everything I gotta tell you
But I know I gotta give it a try

And I know the roads to riches
And I know the ways to fame
I know all the rules
And I know how to break 'em
And I always know the name of the game

But I don't know how to leave you
And I'll never let you fall
And I don't know how you do it
Making love out of nothing at all

Out of nothing at all, out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all, out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all,
Making love out of nothing at all

Everytime I see you all the rays of the sun
Are streaming through the waves in your hair
And every star in the sky is taking aim at your eyes
Like a spotlight

The beating of my heart is a drum and it's lost
And it's looking for a rhythm like you
You can take the darkness from the pit of the night
And turn into a beacon burning endlessly bright

I've gotta follow it 'cause everything I know
Well it's nothing till I give it to you

I can make the runner stumble
I can make the final block
I can make every tackle at the sound of the whistle
I can make all the stadiums rock
I can make tonight forever
Or I can make it disappear by the dawn
I can make every promise that has ever been made
I can make all your demons be gone

But I'm never gonna make it without you
Do you really want to see me crawl
And I'm never gonna make it like you do
Making love out of nothing at all

Out of nothing at all, out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all, out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all, out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all

A good "chick flick" with a hot scene involving tequila is Mr & Mrs Smith.... :)))) commercial, yes.. but hey I haven't heard many alive people complaining about the actors bodies & talent(s).....

Mondo Bong ~ Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros

I was patrolling a Pachinko
Nude noodle model parlor in the Nefarious zone
Hanging out with insects under ducting
The C.I.A was on the phone
Well, such is life

Latino caribo, mondo bongo
The flower looks good in your hair
Latino caribo, mondo bongo
Nobody said it was fair, oh

Latino caribo, mondo bongo
The flower looks good in your hair
Latino caribo, mondo bongo
Nobody said it was fair

Latino caribo, mondo bongo
The flower looks good in your hair
Latino caribo, mondo bongo
Nobody said it was fair

For the Zapatistas I'll rob my sisters
Of all the curtain and lace

Down at the bauxite mine
You get your own uniform
Have lunchtimes off
Take a monorail to your home

Checkmate, baby
God bless us and our home
Where ever we roam
Now take us home, flaquito

Latino caribo, mondo bongo
The flower looks good in your hair
Latino caribo, mondo bongo
Nobody said it was fair
Latino caribo, mondo bongo
The flower looks good in your hair
Latino caribo, mondo bongo
Nobody said it was fair

Posted by outbackdrifter at January 23, 2009 10:25 AM ~ Good morning Drifter Honey..... SF is being very quiet this morning as she has a very sore head..... ohh dear what did I do last night..... yum! :))))

Loved your song, it makes me smile, & good to see the person who wrote it has a healthy outlook about having fun.... ;)

Checking out what's scattered around the floor this morning.... I see I didn't loose an earring, there isn't a tablecloth & I haven't lost any pieces of clothing..... so I can still feel good I didn't do anything I'll regret down the line :))))

Last night it wasn't tequila, it was a cheeky white.... thank heavens it wasn't a port..... the last time I got that wiped out was the evening I said "YES, YES, YES & I might have thrown in another yes!" yeah I did say yes again & yes it was damn good at the time :))))

Sorry but I don't feel up to posting songs this morning I need to crawl back into bed & recover! :))))

A song to stir the place up a bit ;))

Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off
Joe Nichols

She said I’m going out with my girlfriends
Margaritas at the Holiday Inn
Lord have mercy, my only thought
Was Tequila makes her clothes fall off

I told her put an extra layer on
I know what happens when she drinks Patrone
Her closet’s missing half the things she’s bought
Ya Tequila makes her clothes fall off

She’ll start with kickin’ out of her shoes
Loose an earring in her drink
Leave her jacket in the bathroom stall
Drop a contact down the sink

Them pantyhose aint gonna last too long
If the DJ puts Bon Jovi on
She might come home in a table cloth
Ya tequila makes her clothes fall off

She can handle any champagne brunch
A bridal shower with Bacardi punch
Jello shooters full of Smirnoff
But Tequila makes her clothes fall off

She’ll start with kickin’ out of her shoes
Loose an earring in her drink
Leave her jacket in the bathroom stall
Drop a contact down the sink

She don’t mean nothing - she’s just havin fun
Tomorrow she’ll say oh what have I done
Her friends will joke about the stuff she lost
ya tequila makes her clothes fall off
oh Tequila makes her clothes fall off
oh Tequila makes her clothes fall off

A trip down memory lane or maybe desires for times to come .... gentle days & gentle nights :)

Lay, Lady, Lay ~ Bob Dylan

Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Whatever colors you have in your mind
I'll show them to you and you'll see them shine

Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay, stay with your man awhile
Until the break of day, let me see you make him smile
His clothes are dirty but his hands are clean
And you're the best thing that he's ever seen

Stay, lady, stay, stay with your man awhile
Why wait any longer for the world to begin
You can have your cake and eat it too
Why wait any longer for the one you love
When he's standing in front of you

Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay, stay while the night is still ahead
I long to see you in the morning light
I long to reach for you in the night
Stay, lady, stay, stay while the night is still ahead

I love this song & the guitar sings to me :)) .... a bit of the lump in the throat kinda thing :(

Wonderful Tonight ~ Eric Clapton

Its late in the evening
Shes wondering what clothes to wear
She puts on her make up
And brushes her long blonde hair
And then she asks me
Do I look alright
And I say yes, you look wonderful tonight

We go a party
And everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady
Thats walking around with me
And then she asks me
Do you feel alright
And I say yes, I feel wonderful tonight

I feel wonderful
Because I see the love light in your eyes
And the wonder of it all
Is that you just dont realize
How much I love you

Its time to go home now
And Ive got an aching head
So I give her the car keys
She helps me to bed
And then I tell her
As I turn out the light
I say my darling, you were wonderful tonight
Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight

One for friday.... WA is like everywhere around the planet.... people are feeling threatened about the future.... Difficult decisons & probably some tough choices need to be made. Sugar coating isn't going to make the pill easier to swallow....

Good luck to everyone... take it easy over the weekend & listen to some of your music :)

Flower ~ Kylie

Wrapped in a blanket of hope
Asleep in a bed of dreams
I step into eternity
It’s not part of my hand
Not at all
For who knows which way the wind is gonna blow
I am waiting for your gentle whisper

Distant child, my flower
Are you blowing in the breeze
Can you feel me
As I breathe life into you
You are my flower
Somewhere in a desert haze
I know one day you’ll amaze me

I have to balance imagining the moment I can be
Looking deep into your eyes
For now a mystery
Not at all
For who knows which way the wind is gonna blow
Are you waiting for a gentle whisper

Distant child, my flower
Are you blowing in the breeze
Can you feel me
As I breathe life into you
You are my flower
Somewhere in a desert haze
I know one day you’ll amaze me

Two hearts
In the hands of time
Your life breathes into mine.
I’ll be with you forever
I’ll give you everything I have
Want you to understand
It’s you and I together

Distant child, my flower
Are you blowing in the breeze
Can you feel me
As I breathe life into you
You are my flower
Somewhere in a desert haze
I know one day you’ll amaze me

Distant child, my flower
Are you blowing in the breeze
Can you feel me
As I breathe life into you
You are my flower
Somewhere ïn a desert haze
I know one day you’ll amaze me

Gentle Blessings. SF X X X

Since I've mentioned Kylie & film clips I might as well throw in this one..... the visuals are interesting to say the least. And I love it when the female singers give it a bit of stick :)))) The song & clip is fun & makes me smile.... Feel good stuff won't kill ya :))))

The thing I really like about the clip is the bottom of her feet are clean... I get really narky when you see shots like this & the bottom of their feet are dirty... Yes I know I'm pedantic about some stuff but heavens you sometimes wonder what the photograhers are looking at.... :))))

Slow ~ Kylie

Knew you'd be here tonight
So I put my best dress on
Boy I was so right

Our eyes connected
Now nothing's how it used to be
No second guesses

Track in on this feeling
Pull focus close up you and me
Nobody's leaving

Got me affected
Spun me 180 degrees
It's so electric

Slow down and dance with me
Yeah, slow
Skip a beat and move with my body
Yeah, slow
Come on and dance with me
Yeah, slow
Skip a beat and move with my body
Yeah, slow

Don't wanna rush it
Let the rhythm pull you in
It's here so touch it

You know what I'm saying
And I haven't said a thing
Keep the record playing

Slow down and dance with me
Yeah, slow
Skip a beat and move with my body
Yeah, slow
Come on and dance with me
Yeah, slow
Skip a beat and move with my body
Yeah, slow

Read my body language
Take it down, down

Slow down and dance with me
Yeah, slow
Skip a beat and move with my body
Yeah, slow
Come on and dance with me
Yeah, slow
Skip a beat and move with my body
Yeah, slow

Skip a beat and move with my body
Skip a beat and move with my body
Skip a beat and move with my body
Slow

(Slow) Gentle Blessings. SF X X X

Posted by outbackdrifter at January 21, 2009 9:20 PM ~ Hmmmm.... What I'm sweet even when I talk in tongues???? :)

His songs are poetry to me.... & he is a bit wicked also :) his eyes are..... hmmmm :) Yep, probably what Kylie does for the fellas....

As the saying goes "what ever floats ya boat"... :)

Where the Wild Roses Grow ~ Kylie & Nick Cave

They call me The Wild Rose
But my name was Elisa Day
Why they call me it I do not know
For my name was Elisa Day

From the first day I saw her I knew she was the one
As she stared in my eyes and smiled
For her lips were the colour of the roses
They grew down the river, all bloody and wild

When he knocked on my door and entered the room
My trembling subsided in his sure embrace
He would be my first man, and with a careful hand
He wiped the tears that ran down my face

They call me The Wild Rose
But my name was Elisa Day
Why they call me it I do not know
For my name was Elisa Day

On the second day I brought her a flower
She was more beautiful than any woman I'd seen
I said, 'Do you know where the wild roses grow
So sweet and scarlet and free?'

On the second day he came with a single rose
Said: 'Will you give me your loss and your sorrow?'
I nodded my head, as I layed on the bed
He said, 'If I show you the roses will you follow?'

They call me The Wild Rose
But my name was Elisa Day
Why they call me it I do not know
For my name was Elisa Day

On the third day he took me to the river
He showed me the roses and we kissed
And the last thing I heard was a muttered word
As he stood smiling above me with a rock in his fist

On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow
And she lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief
As I kissed her goodbye, I said, 'All beauty must die'
And lent down and planted a rose between her teeth

Gentle dreams kiddies... SF X X X

Breathless - Nick Cave

It's up in the morning and on the downs
Little white clouds like gambolling lambs
And I am breathless over you

And the red-breasted robin beats his wings
His throat it trembles when he sings
For he is helpless before you

The happy hooded bluebells bow
And bend their heads all a-down
Heavied by the early morning dew

At the whispering stream, at the bubbling brook
The fishes leap up to take a look
For they are breathless over you

Still your hands
And still your heart
For still your face comes shining through
And all the morning glows anew
Still your mind
Still your soul
For still, the fare of love is true
And I am breathless without you

The wind circles among the trees
And it bangs about the new-made leaves
For it is breathless without you

The fox chases the rabbit round
The rabbit hides beneath the ground
For he is defenceless without you

The sky of daytime dies away
And all the earthly things they stop to play
For we are all breathless without you

I listen to my juddering bones
The blood in my veins and the wind in my lungs
And I am breathless without you

Still your hands
And still your heart
For still your face comes shining through
And all the morning glows anew
Still your soul
Still your mind
Still, the fire of love is true
And I am breathless without you

Love Letter - Nick Cave

l hold this letter in my hand
A plea of petition, a kind of prayer
I hope it does as I have planned
Losing her again is more than I can bear

I kiss the cold white envelope
Press my lips against her name
Two hundred words, we live in hope
The sky hangs heavy with rain

Love letter, love letter
Go get her, go get her
Love letter, love letter
Go tell her, go tell her

A wicked wind whips up the hill
Hand full of hopeful words
I love her and I always will
The sky is ready to burst

Said something I did not mean to say
Said something I did not mean to say
Said something I did not mean to say
It all came out the wrong way

Love letter, love letter
Go get her, go get her
Love letter, love letter
Go tell her, go tell her

Rain your kisses down upon me
Rain your kisses down in storms
For all will come before me
In your thin and fading forms

Out of my mind
Will leave me standing in the rain
With a letter and a prayer
Whispered on the wind

Come back to me
Come back to me
Oh, baby, please come back to me

SF, Nick Cave :)))), you say the sweetest things

By Your Side ~ Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds

Across the oceans, Across the seas, Over forests of blackened trees.
Through valleys so still we dare not breathe, To be by your side.

Over the shifting desert plains, Across mountains all in flames.
Through howling winds and driving rains, To be by your side.

Every mile and every year for every one a little tear.
I cannot explain this, Dear, I will not even try.

Into the night as the stars collide,
Across the borders that divide forests of stone standing petrified,
To be by your side.

Every mile and every year, For every one a single tear.
I cannot explain this, Dear, I will not even try.

For I know one thing, Love comes on a wing.
For tonight I will be by your side. But tomorrow I will fly.

From the deepest ocean To the highest peak,
Through the frontiers of your sleep.
Into the valley where we dare not speak, To be by your side.

Across the endless wilderness where all the beasts bow down their heads.
Darling I will never rest till I am by your side.

Every mile and every year, Time and Distance disappear I cannot explain this.
Dear No, I will not even try.

And I know just one thing, Love comes on a wing and tonight I will be by your side.
But tomorrow I will fly away, Love rises with the day and tonight I may be by your side.
But tomorrow I will fly, Tomorrow I will fly, Tomorrow I will fly.

Gentle Blessings.... SF X X X

Great to see you post the songs that give you good feelings :) & it's good to have the variety of your music.....

Posted by: softfeather at January 21, 2009 8:10 PM

Nick Cave played over here in WA last night & from what I've heard he & the band were wicked. They performed for two hours & had a few guest performers join them for a few songs...

The sound quality was top shelf, his energy was unreal, his delivery for every song was fresh & the band was tight & alive... he also did some sets playing piano. The light & shade with the choice of songs was a build up..... judging by the energy of the feedback it was a gig that was full on considering it was at the end of a long tour they have been doing.... no scraping the bottom of the barrel like we sometimes get over here.....such a shame I missed them.. there are so many good gigs coming here soon hope people get out & catch a few :))))

Lovely Creature ~ Nick Cave

There she stands, this lovely creature
There she stands, there she stands
With her hair full of ribbons
And green gloves on her hands
So I asked this lovely creature
Yes, I asked. Yes I asked
Would she walk with me a while
Through this night so fast
She took my hand, this lovely creature
"Yes", she said, "Yes", she said
"Yes, I'll walk with you a while"
It was a joyful man she led
Over hills, this lovely creature
Over mountains, over ranges
By great pyramids and sphinxs
We met drifters and strangers
Oh the sands, my lovely creature
And the mad, moaning winds
At night the deserts writhed
With diabolical things
Through the night, through the night
The wind lashed and it whipped me
When I got home, my lovely creature
She was no longer with me
Somewhere she lies, this lovely creature
Beneath the slow drifting sands
With her hair full of ribbons
And green gloves on her hands

Gentle Blessings. SF X X X

I am going home! :0)

Wayfaring Stranger
(Jack White)

I am a poor wayfaring stranger
Travelling through this world of woe
There is no sickness, toil or danger
In that fairy land to which I go

I'm going home
To see my mother
I'm going home
No more to roam
I am just going over Jordan
I am just going over home

I know dark clouds will hover on me,
I know my pathway is rough and steep
Beauteous fields lie right before me
Where weary eyes no more will weep
I'm going home to see my father
I'm going home no more to roam
I am just going over Jordan
I am just going over home

I'll soon be free from earthy trial
This form will rest beneath the sun
I'll drop the cross of self-denial
And enter in that home with God
I'm going home to see my savior
I'm going home no more to roam
I am just going over Jordan
I am just going over home

Close To You
(Carpenters)

Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.

Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.

On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue.

That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around.
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.

On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue.

That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around.
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
Just like me (Just like me)
They long to be
Close to you.

Wahhhhhhhhhhh, close to you.

And Good Bye for now, everyone!

From my boyfriend so far away

Wait a minute
Wait a minute
Wait a minute
Wait a minute

And now, something cheerful. :0)

TOP OF THE WORLD
(Carpenters)

Such a feelings coming over me
There is wonder in most everything I see
Not a cloud in the sky
Got the sun in my eyes
And I won't be surprised if it's a dream

Everything I want the world to be
Is now coming true especially for me
And the reason is clear
It's because you are here
You're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen

I'm on the top of the world looking down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world

Something in the wind has learned my name
And it's telling me that things are not the same
In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze
There's a pleasing sense of happiness for me

There is only one wish on my mind
When this day is through I hope that I will find
That tomorrow will be just the same for you and me
All I need will be mine if you are here

I'm on the top of the world looking down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world

And another song that can bring blues to me. :0)

This Masquerade
(Carpenters)

Are we really happy with this lonely game we play,
Looking for the right words to say?
Searching but not finding -- understanding anyway,
We're lost in this masquerade.

Both afraid to say we're just too far away
From being close together from the start.
We try to talk it over, but the words got in the way
We're lost inside this lonely game we play.

Thoughts of leaving disappear each time I see your eyes,
And no matter how hard I try
To understand the reason why we carry on this way
We're lost in this masquerade.

We try to talk it over, but the words got in the way
We're lost inside this lonely game we play.

We're lost in a masquerade.
And we're lost in a masquerade.

Posted by: ahappyending at January 21, 2009 8:00 PM

Want up to 1000 songs here? :0) I am sure there will be very soon. :0)

Carpenters! I have grown up, listening to Carpenters! :0) And the following song, among other things, has made the real me of today - part melancholy. :0)

Yesterday Once More
(Carpenters)

When I was young
I'd listen to the radio
Waitin' for my favorite songs
When they played I'd sing along
It made me smile.

Those were such happy times
And not so long ago
How I wondered where they'd gone
But they're back again
Just like a long lost friend
All the songs I loved so well.

Every Sha-la-la-la
Every Wo-o-wo-o
Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're startin' to sing's
So fine.

When they get to the part
Where he's breakin' her heart
It can really make me cry
Just like before
It's yesterday once more.

Lookin' back on how it was
In years gone by
And the good times that I had
Makes today seem rather sad
So much has changed.

It was songs of love that
I would sing to then
And I'd memorize each word
Those old melodies
Still sound so good to me
As they melt the years away.

Every Sha-la-la-la
Every Wo-o-wo-o
Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're startin' to sing's
So fine.

All my best memories
Come back clearly to me
Some can even make me cry.

Just like before
It's yesterday once more.

My Wish ~ Rascal Flatts

I hope the days come easy and the moments pass slow,
and each road leads you where you want to go,
and if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose,
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.
and if one door opens to another door closed,
I hope you keep on walkin' 'til you find the window,
if it's cold outside,
show the world the warmth of your smile,
but more than anything, more than anything,

My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
your dreams stay big, your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
and while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.

I hope you never look back, but ya never forget,
all the ones who love you, in the place you left,
I hope you always forgive, and you never regret,
and you help somebody every chance you get,
Oh, you find God's grace, in every mistake,
and always give more then you take.

But more than anything, Yeah, and more than anything,

My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
and while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.

Some one has probably already posted this one. But with me you get it again & maybe again if ya lucky... I love my bare feet on the dashboard songs :))))

Things come & go, but when you really "stop & embrace" the comings & the goings that's when you feel alive.... Today I feel so alive & I am in rhythm with life :)))) X X X

Rascal Flatts - Life is a Highway

Whooo umm yeah...
Life's like a road that you travel on
When there's one day here and the next day gone
Sometimes you bend, sometimes you stand
Sometimes you turn your back to the wind
There's a world outside ev'ry darkened door
Where blues won't haunt you anymore
Where brave are free and lovers soar
Come ride with me to the distant shore
We won't hesitate
To break down the garden gate
There's not much time left today

Life is a highway
I wanna ride it all night long
If you're going my way
I wanna drive it all night long

Through all these cities and all these towns
It's in my blood and it's all around
I love you now like I loved you then
This is the road and these are the hands
From Mozambique to those Memphis nights
The Khyber Pass to Vancouver's lights

Knock me down get back up again
You're in my blood
I'm not a lonely man
There's no load I can't hold
Road so rough this I know
I'll be there when the light comes in
Just tell 'em we're survivors

Life is a highway
I wanna ride it all night long
If you're going my way
I wanna drive it all night long

Gimme gimme gimme gimme yeah

Life is a highway
I wanna ride it all night long
If you're going my way
I wanna drive it all night long

There was a distance between you and I (between you and I)
A misunderstanding once
But now we look it in the eye

Ooooo...Yeah!

There ain't no load that I can't hold
Road so rough this I know
I'll be there when the light comes in
Just tell 'em we're survivors

Life is a highway
I wanna ride it all night long
If you're going my way
I wanna drive it all night long

Gimme gimme gimme gimme yeah

Gentle blessings. SF X X X

One for us girls :) by Cindy Lauper

I come home in the morning light
My mother says when you gonna live your life right
Oh mother dear we're not the fortunate ones
And girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun

The phone rings in the middle of the night
My father yells what you gonna do with your life
Oh daddy dear you know you're still number one
But girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have--

That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Girls-- they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun

Some boys take a beautiful girl
And hide her away from the rest of the world
I want to be the one to walk in the sun
Oh girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have

That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Girls--they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun,
They want to have fun,
They want to have fun...

Have a wonderful day, be kind to your self & to those around you :)))) SF X X X

I have always had a home. So this following old song has never been significant to me, till now. Although its soothing melody somehow has managed to stay in the back of my mind. :0)

Home, what is a home? It is not merely a shelter. It is not a cold empty four-walls, be it a huge mansion on a big block of land. It should be a picture of warmth, love and laughter.

Before, it meant nothing to me when my friends, who were not living with their family, yelled that they wanted a home. But now, I know what it really means and how significant a home can be, even it is just a very humble residence!

Home Sweet Home

Mid pleasures and palaces
Though we may roam,
Be it ever so humble,
There's no place like home.
A charm from the skies
Seems to hallow us there,
Which seek thro' the world,
Is ne'er met with elsewhere.
Home, home, sweet sweet home,
There's no place like home,
There's no place like home.

I gaze on the moon
As I tread the drear wild,
And feel that my mother
Now thinks of her child;
As she looks on that moon
From our own cottage door,
Thro' the woodbine whose fragrance
Shall cheer me no more.
Home, home, sweet sweet home,
There's no place like home,
There's no place like home.

An exile from home,
Splendor dazzles in vain,
Oh, give me my lowly
Thatched cottage again;
The birds singing gaily,
That came at my call:
Give me them and that
Peace of mind, dearer than all.
Home, home, sweet sweet home,
There's no place like home,
There's no place like home.

Good night in your sweet home! :0)

Cat Steven's- How Can I Tell You...How can I tell you that I love you, I love you
But I can't think of right words to say
I long to tell you that I'm always thinking of you
I'm always thinking of you, but my words
Just blow away, just blow away
It always ends up to one thing, honey
And I can't think of right words to say
Wherever I am girl, I'm always walking with you
I'm always walking with you, but I look and you're not there
Whoever I'm with, I'm always, always talking to you
I'm always talking to you, and I'm sad that
You can't hear, sad that you can't hear
It always ends up to one thing, honey,
When I look and you're not there
I need to know you, need to feel my arms around you
Feel my arms around you, like a sea around a shore
And - each night and day I pray, in hope
That I might find you, in hope that I might
Find you, because heart's can do no more
It always ends up to one thing honey, still I kneel upon the floor
How can I tell you that I love you, I love you
But I can't think of right words to say
I long to tell you that I'm always thinking of you
I'm always thinking of you....
It always ends up to one thing honey
And I can't think of right words to say

...anyone ever felt that way?...I sure have...SF we sometimes don't tell someone 'cos we don't want to be hurt when it can't be returned...or maybe it just puts too much responsibility on that person too...just a few thoughts...on this windy, ver hot Melbourne day.

To my dear Softfeather . . . Regarding "LOVE" . . .

I am never too wounded, or afraid to use the word love. Or to love. My heart remains open to infinite possibilities that life brings to my doorstep (magnetising even as I sleep at night) and I am inspired every day.

You (pleural) know one day, something will happen, something GOOD - it's just the Law of Averages : ))))))) Be ready, be waiting, be willing! (I am and I know you are too)

Live The Dream, starting today :)))

Listen To The Rain - Evanescence

Listen listen
Listen listen
Listen listen
Listen listen
Listen (listen) listen (listen)
Listen (listen) listen (listen)
Listen (listen) listen (listen)
Listen listen

Listen to each drop of rain (listen listen)
Aaah
Whispering secrets in vain (listen listen)
Aaah
Frantically searching for someone to hear
Their story before they hit ground
Please don't let go
Can't we stay for a while?
It's just to hard to say goodbye
Listen to the rain

Aa...ah
Listen listen listen listen listen listen to the rain
Weeping
Oo...ooh oooh ooh oo...ooh
Oo...ooh oooh oh oh

Listen (listen) listen (listen)
Listen (listen) listen

I stand alone in the storm (listen listen)
Suddenly sweet words take hold
(Listen listen)
Hurry they say for you haven't much time
Open your eyes to the love around you
You may feel you're alone
But I'm here still with you
You can do what you dream
Just remember to listen to the rain

oo...ooh oh oh oh oh
ooh ooh oh oh oooh
Listen

Good morning Kiddies :))))

Hope ya woke up this morning feeling the love you have for life :)

If ya play this song enough times (& loud enough) you never know someone might hear it & connect to ya call :))))

Go on be a devil & give it a go! & keep trying until someone hears what ya saying.... doing it won't kill ya :))))

Gotta be Someone ~ Nickelback

This time
I wonder what it feels like
To find the one in this life
The one we all dream of
But dreams just aren't enough
So I'll be waiting for the real thing
I'll know it by the feeling
The moment when we're meeting
Will play out like a scene straight off the silver screen
So I'll be holdin' my breath
Right up 'til the end
Until that moment when
I find the one that I'll spend forever with

Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There's gotta be somebody for me like that
Cause nobody wants to go it on their own
And everyone wants to know they're not alone
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there

Tonight
Out on the street, out in the moonlight
And, damn it, this feels too right
It's just like deja vu
Me standin' here with you
So I'll be holdin' my breath
Could this be the end?
Is it that moment when
I find the one that I'll spend forever with?

Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There's gotta be somebody for me like that
Cause nobody wants to go it on their own
And everyone wants to know they're not alone
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there

Ooh! You can't give up
When you're lookin' for a diamond in the rough
Because you'll never know when it shows up
Make sure you're holdin' on

Cause it could be the one, the one you're waiting on
Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
And everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There's gotta be somebody for me, oh

Nobody wants to go it on their own
And everyone wants to know they're not alone
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there
Nobody wants to be the last one there
Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there

And remember the word *forever* is only a nano in time but its how you use that nano of time that counts.......Have a *love*ly day.... SF X X X

Bridge To Heaven

Sailing home on silver wings
Sailing home where freedom rings
The night is cold and dark December
Long is the road and we must walk alone
Until our hearts will melt the sky
While angels wings are passing by
We're sailing home on wings of heaven
We're sailing for the gates of *seven*
There is a word we must remember
Where is the love to melt that heart of stone
Yes, as the sun will melt the night
We shall be found with keys of light
Yes we shall build a bridge to heaven
Together we will find the road to sky
Yes we shall build a bridge to heaven
From mother earth right on to paradise
And when our hearts will melt the sky
We shall have found the keys of life
Yes we shall build a bridge to heaven
Together we will drink the wine of sky
And as the sun will melt the night
We shall be one as morning light
Shall be one with the dawn

Gentle Blessings... you have the patience of an angel. SF :)

PS. Thank you Connoisseur Gourmet Ice Cream people… your Caramel Honey & Macadamia Ice cream is heaven when eaten straight from the tub…. Just a tad more Honey would be lip smacking bliss :))))

I love the acoustic version of this song that’s performed by the Scorpions. Its loaded into my ipod so it plays when I’m on the last few kms of a long walk… the song encourages me to push my body harder, to suck in friggin big gulps of air, really stride out… the body might be hurting but gee you feel alive....

Listening to this song tonight confirms where I’m heading is so right…. Living a real life is worth every moment of the journey… existing is such a waste

Life Is Too Short

Have you ever seen the morning
When the sun comes up the shore
And the silence makes the beauty for a sound

Have you ever sat there waiting
For the time to stand still
For all the world to stop
From turning around

And you run
'Cause life is too short
And you run
'Cause life is too short

Have you ever seen the glowing
When the moon is on the rise
And the dreams are close
To the ones that we love

Have you ever sat there waiting
For heaven to give a sign
So we could find the place
Where angels come from

And you run (and you run)
'Cause life is too short
And you run (and you run)
'Cause life is too short

There’s a time that turns
Turn back time
But I don’t say I can
It only works
If you believe in the truth

But there’s a time to leave
And a time to cry
But if you’re by my side
I will try to catch a star
I’ll try to catch a star
Just for you

And I run
'Cause life is too short
And I run (and I run)
'Cause life is too short

And I run And I run And I run And I run And I run …

Gentle Blessings. SF X X X

Posted by: outbackdrifter at January 19, 2009 10:41 AM ~ Wise words Drifter.... & yep ya right, live in the now cause life can turn on a dime :))))

Something that confuses me is why people have a hang up on the word *love*. For me it is such a good word.... it's like the word is judged here.... it's like Marcus giving an explanation to get everyone jumping without Marcus saying an applicable word... :)

I love sunsets, I love big fluffy clouds, I love remembering where I left my keys, I love gardening, I love life, I love it when I can reverse park in one take... I love a song, I love my kid, geez if I say to someone I love it when they do something good or funny why is it soo wrong?

I can't understand why it's almost politically incorrect to say the word *love*.

Is it such a powerful word that people refrain from saying it? or is it because of the expectations of the person who hears it? Maybe the person hearing the word *love* just hasn't heard it enough?

Are people sooo wounded they are afraid of the word? or is it they are soo scared of what could happen in the future they avoid it? Its a word people are afraid to use but its a word we need to hear more so we feel good inside & are at peace with our self & those around us... It can be a word that invokes euphoria for the giver & the receiver....

For pity sake... say it, use it, own it, be happy hearing the word & saying the word.... it is not a friggin' death sentence to say the word *love*!!!

Here endeth SF having a dummy spit... :)))))

With gentle *love*. SF :)

Yes.... I know heated moment, but lotsa gentle & very passionate feelings about the word *love*..... X X X

People, it is time to live in the here & now, over the last few months l have seen a alot sadness, pain & anger on these blogs, people trying to drag themself up from the darkest places of there own souls.

Life is now, the past is exactly that, the past it cannot be undone or changed, the only thing we can get from past is to learn from it but learn the right lessons.

As for the future, once again it is exactly that the future, we think we can control the future but in truth we cannot .

So live in the here & now, its the only thing we truely have some sort of control over, what we change now will have an effect on who we are in the next :)))

Good Morning Everyone,

A special hi to my music friends Softfeather and Drifter. Yes my adventures are going quite well. Bit tired though as I've had many changes all at once. Looking very much forward to resting by the water in time, but it's off to work this morning to earn a dollar or two.

Here's a song because I just like it.
Enjoy. (link provided as usual : ))

White Flag
by Dido

I know you think that I shouldn't still love you I'll tell u that.

But if I didn't say it Well, I'd still have felt it Where's the sense in that ?

I promise I'm not tring to make your life harder or return to where we were.

I will go down with this ship and I won't put my hands up and surrender.

There will be no white flag above my door I'm in love and always will be .

I know I left too much mess
and destruction to come back again
and I caused but nothing but trouble.

I understand if you can't talk to me again
and if you live by the rules of "its over".
Then I'm sure it makes sense.

Well I will go down with this ship
and I won't put my hands up and surrender.

There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be.

And when we meet as I'm sure we will
All that was then will be there still
I'll let it pass and hold my tongue
and you'll think that I've moved on.

Well I will go down with this ship
and I won't put up my hands and surrender.
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be.

Well I will go down with this ship
And I won't put up my hands and surrender.
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be.

I will go down with this ship
and I won't put my hands up and surrender.
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be.

Have a lovely Monday Everyone.

A new year has started, in 2009 its time to look within, are we living to life we want to life or ..................... are living the life we think we should live ??

If the the answer is Yes thats great pat yourself on the back :)) but if the answer is No change it then & change it now starting at this very moment............it really is that simple :)))))

Lost Highway

In my rearview mirror
My life is getting clearer
The sunset sighs and slowly disappears
These trinkets once were treasure
Life changes like the weather
You grow up, grow old or hit the road 'round here
So I drive, watching white lines passing by
With my plastic dashboard Jesus, waiting there to greet us

Hey, hey, I finally found my way
Say goodbye to yesterday
Hit the gas there ain't no brakes on the lost highway
Yeah I'm busting loose, I'm letting go
Out on this open road
It's independence day on this lost highway

I don't know where I'm going
But I know where I've been
Now I'm afraid of going back again
So I drive, years and miles are flying by
And waiting there to great us
Is my plastic dashboard Jesus

Oh patron saint of lonely souls
To tell this boy which way to go
Guide the car, you got the keys
Farewell to mediocrity
Kicking off the cruise-control
And turning up the radio
Got just enough religion
And a half tank of gas come on, let's go

I finally found my way
Say goodbye to yesterday
Hit the gas there ain't no brakes on the lost highway
Yeah I'm busting loose, I'm letting go
Out on this open road
It's independence day on this lost highway

Sunday night & it's time to morph back into the corp image... a last one while I'm still in play mode:))))

Hope every one has a great week & remember music feeds the soul & lifts the spirit....

Give Me A Reason To Love You ~ Portishead

I'm so tired of playing,
Playing with this bow and arrow,
Gonna give my heart away,
Leave it to the other girls to play,
For I've been a temptress too long.
Hmm just,
Give me a reason to love you,
Give me a reason to be,
A woman,
I just wanna be a woman.
From this time, unchained,
We're all looking at a different picture,
Through this new frame of mind,
A thousand flowers could bloom,
Move over, and give us some room.
Yeah,
Give me a reason to love you,
Give me a reason to be
A woman,
I just want to be a woman.
So don't you stop being a man,
Just take a little look from our side when you can,
Show a little tenderness,
No matter if you cry.
Give me a reason to love you,
Give me a reason to be,
A woman,
It's all I wanna be is all woman.
For this is the beginning of forever and ever,
It's time to move over,
So I want to be.
I'm so tired of playing,
Playing with this bow and arrow,
Gonna give my heart away,
Leave it to the other girls to play.
For I've been a temptress too long.
Hmm just,
Give me a reason to love you

Gentle Blessings. SF X X X

Posted by outbackdrifter at January 18, 2009 5:27 PM ~ I'm no girl Drifter Honey...I'm all woman! but thank you for the lovely compliment :) ......

For me conveying shadow on form still presents a challenge but I'll get there...everything in life is like a recipe, once you *get the ingredients in balance* all pans out great :))))

Drifter I'm more interested with you telling us what the pocket rocket did for you????

And yes I totally agree, being a big kid is much more fun :))))

Have a great week out there....

And I cant just enjoy this Topic without my own contributions. So, here is one more from me. :0)

Say You, Say Me
(Lionel Richie)

Say you, say me
Say it for always
That's the way it should be
Say you, say me
Say it together, naturally
I had a dream, I had an awesome dream
People in the park
Playing game in the dark
And what they played
Was a masquerade
But from behind the walls of doubt
A voice was crying out
Say you, say me
Say it for always
That's the way it should be
Say you, say me
Say it together, naturally
As we go down life's lonesome highway
Seems the hardest thing to do
Is to find a friend or two
That helping hand
Someone who understands
When you feel you've lost your way
You've got someone there to say
I'll show you oo, oo, oo
Say you, say me
Say it for always
That's the way it should be
Say you, say me
Say it together, naturally
So you think you know the answers
Oh no!
Well the whole world's got ya dancing
That's right I'm telling you
It's time to start believing
Oh Yes!
Believe in who you are
You are a shining star...oh
Say you, say me
Say it for always
That's the way it should be
Say you, say me
Say it together, naturally

And now, Good Night, everyone!

And, who is going to take me to his heart? Dreaming, dreaming and dreaming. :0) Oh, change the GIRL to BOY, as I am a girl. :0) And I want a Romantic Love forever. Oh, please bless me, my dear God and thank you! :0)

Take me to your heart
(Michael Learns to Rock)

Hiding from the rain and snow
Trying to forget but I won't let go
Looking at a crowded street
Listening to my own heart beat

So many people all around the world
Tell me where do I find someone like you girl

(Chorus)
Take me to your heart take me to your soul
Give me your hand before I'm old
Show me what love is - haven't got a clue
Show me that wonders can be true

They say nothing lasts forever
We're only here today
Love is now or never
Bring me far away

Take me to your heart take me to your soul
Give me your hand and hold me
Show me what love is - be my guiding star
It's easy take me to your heart

Standing on a mountain high
Looking at the moon through a clear blue sky
I should go and see some friends
But they don't really comprehend

Don't need too much talking without saying anything
All I need is someone who makes me wanna sing
(Chorus)

Posted by: ahappyending at January 18, 2009 11:37 PM

And the lyrics of the following can be related to me more at the moment. A dream! Would it ever come true? Who is destined to dance away with me? Only my dear God knows, I am afraid. :0) But, having a dream is better than without one, isnt it? :0)

Dark Waltz
(HAYLEY WESTENRA)

We are the lucky ones
We shine like a thousand suns
When all of the colour runs together

I'll keep you company
In one glorious harmony
Waltzing with destiny forever

Dance me into the night
Underneath the moon shining so bright
Turning me into the light

Time dances whirling past
I gaze through the looking glass
And feel just beyond my grasp is heaven

Sacred geometry
Where movement is poetry
Visions of you and me forever

Dance me into the night
Underneath the moon shining so bright
Turning me into the light

Dance me into the night
Underneath the moon shining so bright
Let the dark waltz begin
Oh let me wheel - let me spin

Posted by: ahappyending at January 18, 2009 11:31 PM

Does anyone like Hayley Westenras songs? I am not a fan of any particular singers, but there are some whose voices and melodies I like better. I think I choose a song more by its melody not by its lyrics, and more by the voice of the singer. So the following is my favourite for its melody and for Hayley Westenras voice. As for the lyrics of this song, I dont think it is depicting what is exactly in my mind at the moment, in case of any misunderstandings. If it were, I would be making life hard for myself and for my ex.

Across The Universe Of Time
(HAYLEY WESTENRA)

When the sea falls from the shore
As the light sinks low, will I see you any more?
As the rain falls from the sky
Can I bring you back, from a distant lullaby?

Show me your vision, the story begun
Two lights are rising and burning as one

In the deep blue of the night
Shine the millions of stars and my spirit burning bright
Spinning on, into the sun, flying higher
Now my journey's begun... And the...

Cold, cold wind, it blows me away
The feeling all over is a black, black day
But I know that I'll see you again
And I know that you're near me

There's a star, calling my name
It's echo is true and the song is not the same
Take my hand and lead me away
Bring me back to you in your arms I'm going to stay...

Tell me your vision, the story begun
Two lights are rising and burning as one

All those years drifting in space
I have known you well, yet I've never seen your face
You turn around, looking at me, laughter in your eyes
And now I can see

And the cold, cold wind, it blows me away
The feeling all over is a black, black day
But I know that I'll see you again
And I know that you're near me

Posted by: ahappyending at January 18, 2009 11:11 PM

Ignore the first paragraph. :0) But just remember the advice. :0)

A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND
Writer Eddie Green

A good man is hard to find,
You always get the other kind
Just when you think that he's your pal,
You look for him and find
Him fooling around some other gal
Then you rave,
You even pray,
To see him laying in his grave

So if your man is nice,
You better take my advice
Hug him in the morning,
Kiss him every night,
Give him plenty loving,
Treat him right
Cause a good man now day's is hard to find

So if your man is nice,
You better take my advice
And hug him in the morning,
Kiss him every night,
Give him plenty loving,
And treat him right
For a good man now day's is hard to find

A blast from the past, a great song from a great singer, yes AK Suzi Quatro did to me what David Cassidy did to you :D

Rock Hard

She spent the whole of last summer
Lookin' out for a six foot two.
She gave them all a good chance

She was cool so she told 'em what to do.
What she needs is a real special guy
And if you knew her you would never wonder why.
When you see her now you'll see her with a six foot two.

She never takes a chance

She doesn't need romance.
Her love is - rock hard -
She never takes a chance.
She never dates to dance

Her love is - rock hard -

She goes to parties
With a boyfriend hangin' on her arm

No-one give her any lip

No-one does her any harm

All the other girls hangin' in the hall.
She got the boys all wishin' they could call

She starts makin' out and someone's ringin# on the fire alarm.

She never takes a chance

Checking back over my posts from this last week it appears I've had a few early nights..... I love prowling around late at night & the early hours of the morning ;) Too many years of doing night shift & I can't get out of the habit.

Posted by: fifilafume at January 16, 2009 11:25 PM ~ "Probably got better things to do eh'"

Yeah you're probably right there! I post on this topic because music is such a part of me. It's like art & gardening I'm hooked, addicted, so comfortable being in my own space doing the things I enjoy.

I also have a personal goal of getting this topic up to the 1,000 post & I tend to be a tad blinkered when I'm really challenged :))))

Life isn't always at full speed ahead... A tender heart song :))))

Angel ~ Sarah McLachlan

Spend all your time waiting for that second chance
For the break that will make it OK
There's always some reason to feel not good enough
And it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction or a beautiful release
Memories seep from my veins
Let me be empty and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight

In the arms of the Angel far away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the Angel; may you find some comfort here

So tired of the straight line, and everywhere you turn
There's vultures and thieves at your back
The storm keeps on twisting, you keep on building the lies
That you make up for all that you lack
It don't make no difference, escaping one last time
It's easier to believe
In this sweet madness, oh this glorious sadness
That brings me to my knees

In the arms of the Angel far away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
In the arms of the Angel; may you find some comfort here

You're in the arms of the Angel; may you find some comfort here

Good morning :) something a little different for an anniversary.....

Thank heavens for weekends they keep me sane!..... Well a tad more sane :))))

It’s A Beautiful Day ~ Queen

It's a beautiful day
The sun is shining
I feel good
And no-one's gonna stop me now, oh yeah

It's a beautiful day
I feel good, I feel right
And no-one, no-one's gonna stop me now
Mama

Sometimes I feel so sad, so sad, so bad
But no-one's gonna stop me now, no-one
It's hopeless - so hopeless to even try

Made In Heaven ~ Queen

I'm taking my ride with destiny
Willing to play my part
Living with painful memories
Loving with all my heart

Made in heaven, made in heaven
It was all meant to be, yeah
Made in heaven, made in heaven
That's what they say
Can't you see
Oh I know, I know, I know that it's true
Yes it's really meant to be
Deep in my heart

I'm having to learn to pay the price
They're turning me upside down
Waiting for possibilities
Don't see too many around

Made in heaven, made in heaven
It's for all to see
Made in heaven, made in heaven
That's what everybody says
Everybody says to me
It was really meant to be
Yeah, yeah

When stormy weather comes around
It was made in heaven
When sunny skies break through behind the clouds
I wish it could last forever, yeah
Wish it could last forever, forever

I'm playing my role in history
Looking to find my goal
Taking in all this misery
But giving it all my soul

Made in heaven, made in heaven
It was all meant to be, yeah
Made in heaven, made in heaven
That's what everybody says
Wait and see, it was really meant to be
So plain to see
Yeah, everybody, everybody, everybody tells me so
Yes it was plain to see, yes it was meant to be
Written in the stars...
Written in the stars...

Last one for the evening.... I still love a love song, just can't help the romantic in me :))))

Come On, Get Higher ~ Matt Nathanson

I miss the sound of your voice
And I miss the rush of your skin
And I miss the still of the silence
As you breathe out and I breathe in
If I could walk on water
If I could tell you what's next
I'd make you believe
I'd make you forget

So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire and the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love
So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire and the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love

I miss the sound of your voice
The loudest thing in my head
And I ache to remember
All the violent, sweet, perfect words that you said
If I could walk on water
If I could tell you what's next
I'd make you believe
I'd make you forget

So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire and the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love
So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire and the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love

I miss the pull of your heart
I taste the sparks on your tongue
I see angels and devils and God, when you come on
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
Singin' sha la la la
Singin' sha la la la la

So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire and the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love
So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire and the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me, drown me in love

So wrong, So wrong
So wrong, So right
So come on, get higher
So come on and get higher
'Cause everything works, love
Everything works in your arms

Gentle Blessings. SF X X X

After watching Ghost tonight this song & scene still manages to curl the toes :)))) A sob movie if ever there was.... :) The spookie parts still makes my skin crawl.... I would be too scared to travel on a train at night after watching this.... yuk.... ;(

Need Your Love

Oh, oh my love
Oh my darling
Ive hungered for your touch
A long and lonely time

And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine

I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love to me

Lonely rivers flow
To the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea

Lonely rivers sigh
Wait for me, wait for me
Ill be coming home
Wait for me

Oh, oh my love
Oh my darling
Ive hungered for your touch
A long and lonely time

And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine

I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love to me
God speed your love to me
(I need your love)

"Sunshine on my face makes me happy, you are my sunshine, my sweet nectar that bees like to drink. But you are mine, not theirs. Screw the bees knees, I am on my knees. Marry me, marry me - matey."

I'd Lie For You Lyrics ~ Meat Loaf

I'd never tell you one lie, I'd never let you down
I'd never leave, I'd be the one who'd always be around
Baby give me a chance

I'd pull the sun out from the sky to light your darkest night
I wouldn't let one drop of rain fall down into your life
Put your heart in my hands

Baby Believe me, I could never do you wrong
And I would never paint your world blue
And if sometimes it seems I must have lost my mind
I might be crazy but I'm crazy about you...

I'd lie for you and that's the truth
Do anything you ask me to
I'd even sell my soul for you
I'd do it all for you
If you'd just believe in me

Just take a look in my eyes, you'll see a love that's blind
Just take a hold of my hand, I'll take you to paradise
Ain't a star that's too far

Your every wish will be a wish that I will make come true
And if you want the moon I swear I'll bring it down for you
Let me into your heart

Believe me baby got your name carved on my soul
’Cause You're the only one that I'll give it to
Go let 'em say that I'm I fool to act this way
'Cause if I'm crazy, I'm just crazy 'bout you...

I'd lie for you and that's the truth
Do anything you ask me to
I'd even sell my soul for you
I'd do it all for you
If you'd just believe in me

I'd lie for you and that's the truth
Move mountains if you want me to
I'd walk across the fire for you
I'd walk on the wild for you
If you'd just believe in me...

And you will never see a day I'll ever break your heart
You'll see the sky fall down before it ever gets that far
I'll show you heaven every second that you're in my arms
Baby I'm crazy, but I'm crazy about you!

I'd lie for you and that's the truth
Move mountains if you want me to
I'd walk across the fire for you
I'd walk on the wild for you
If you'd just believe in me...

I'd walk across the wild for you
Move mountains if you want me to
I'd walk across the fire for you
Do anything you asked me to

I'd lie for you and that's the truth
Do anything you ask me to
I'd even sell my soul for you
I'd do it all for you
If you'd just believe in me

I'd lie for you and that's the truth
Move mountains if you want me to
I'd walk across the fire for you
I'd walk on the wild for you
If you'd just believe in me...

I'd lie for you and that's the truth

Whoa I'm in.... lost count how many times this time..... Victory, now just need to kick butt to get this to turn over!!!

This song is one of two I've held onto for 3 years & this arvo's been a good day to drag it out & air it again...

Cruz ~ Christina Aguilera

Im leaving today
Living it
Leaving it
To change

Slowly drifting
Into a peaceful breeze
Tongue tied and twisted
Are all my memories
Celebrating a fantasy come true
Packing all my bags
Finally on the move

Im leaving today
Im living it
Oh Im leaving it
To change

As Im driving
Im captured by the view
So much beauty
The road becomes my muse
The heat is rising
And my hand surfs through the wind
Cool, calm, collected
Is the child that lies within

See Im leaving today
Im living it
Oh Im leaving it
To change, oh yeah

See Im leaving today, oh yes im
Living it
Oh Im leaving it
To change

But somehow I miss it
I think Ill really miss it
One day, ohh

I turn up the radio
And Im feeling like Ive never felt before
Turn down the memories of
Yesteryears and broken dreams and Im free
Finally free, ooh

Slowly drifting
Into a peaceful breeze, oh
Ohh

Ooh yeah
Im leaving today, oh yes im
Living it, oh yeah
Leaving it to change
To change, oh no

See Im leaving today, oh yes im
Living it, living it
Leaving it, leaving
To change
Ohh oh

Im leaving today
Oh Im living it
Im leaving it to change
Living it, to change
Leaving it
To change
Ooh, oh yeah

Living it, leaving it
Said Im living it
Im leaving it
Living it, leaving it
To change
Im leaving it to change

But somehow I miss it
I think Ill really miss it
One day, yeah

Nahhh ya can't miss what's not there any more... :)

FRANKIE GOES TO HOLLYWOOD....
"The Power Of Love"

I'll protect you from the hooded claw
Keep the vampires from your door

Feels like fire
I'm so in love with you
Dreams are like angels
They keep bad at bay-bad at bay
Love is the light
Scaring darkness away-yeah

I'm so in love with you
Purge the soul
Make love your goal

The power of love
A force from above
Cleaning my soul
Flame on burn desire
Love with tongues of fire
Purge the soul
Make love your goal

I'll protect you from the hooded claw
Keep the vampires from your door
When the chips are down I'll be around
With my undying, death-defying
Love for you

Envy will hurt itself
Let yourself be beautiful
Sparkling love, flowers
And pearls and pretty girls
Love is like an energy
Rushin' rushin' inside of me

[Repeat 1]

This time we go sublime
Lovers entwine-divine divine
Love is danger, love is pleasure
Love is pure-the only treasure

I'm so in love with you
Purge the soul
Make love your goal

The power of love
A force from above
Cleaning my soul
The power of love
A force from above
A sky-scraping dove

Flame on burn desire
Love with tongues of fire
Purge the soul
Make love your goal

I'll protect you from the hooded claw
Keep the vampires from your door

Another great song from yesteryear :)))) I surprised myself with being able to remember most of the words..... Gee I can't remember where I leave my keys but I can remember these words... I think it's called selective memory :))))

What About Me? - Moving Pictures
Well there's a little boy waiting at the counter of the corner shop
He's been waiting down there, waiting half the day,
They never ever see him from the top
He gets pushed around, knocked to the ground,
He gets to his feet and he says...

What about me? It isn't fair
I've had enough, now I want my share
Can't you see, I wanna live
But you just take more than you give

Well, there's a pretty girl serving at the counter of the corner shop
She's been waiting back there, waiting for a dream,
Her dreams walk in and out, they never stop
Well, she's not too proud, to cry out loud
She runs to the street and she screams...

What about me? It isn't fair
I've had enough, now I want my share
Can't you see, I wanna live
But you just take more than you give

More than you give...

Take a step back and see the little people
They might be young, but they're the ones that make the big people big
So listen as they whisper:
"What about me?"

And now I'm standing on the corner, all the world's gone home
Nobody's changed, nobody's been saved
And I'm feeling cold and alone
I guess I'm lucky, I smile a lot
But sometimes I wish for more than I've got...

What about me? It isn't fair
I've had enough, now I want my share
Can't you see, I wanna live
But you just take more than you give

What about me?
What about me?
What about....me?

Rage pulled out some great oldies this morning..... certainly brings back yesteryear..... watched the clip for Eye of the Tiger by Survivour. Yep, that's how I remember Saturday nights in Sydney.... we were so blessed we never got into too much trouble.

Another song that stirred the grey matter "I Love Rock & Roll ~ Joan Jett"

I saw him dancin there by the record machine
I knew he must a been about seventeen
The beat was goin strong
Playin my favorite song
An I could tell it wouldnt be long
Till he was with me, yeah me, singin

I love rock n roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock n roll
So come an take your time an dance with me

He smiled so I got up and asked for his name
That dont matter, he said,
cause its all the same

Said can I take you home where we can be alone

An next we were movin on
He was with me, yeah me

Next we were movin on
He was with me, yeah me, singin

I love rock n roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock n roll
So come an take your time an dance with me

Said can I take you home where we can be alone

An well be movin on
An singin that same old song
Yeah with me, singin

I love rock n roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock n roll
So come an take your time an dance with me

Evan & Jaron - The Distance

The sky has lost its color
The sun has turned to grey
At least thats how it feels to me
Whenever youre away
I crawl up in the corner
To watch the minutes pass
Each one brings me closer to
The time youre comin back

I cant take the distance
I cant the miles
I cant take the time until I next see you smile
I cant take the distance
And Im not ashamed
That with every breath I take Im callin your name
But I cant take the distance

I still believe my feelings
But sometimes I feel too much
I make believe youre close to me
But it aint close enough
Not nearly close enough

I cant take the distance
I cant the miles
I cant take the time until I next see you smile
I cant take the distance
And Im not ashamed
That with every breath I take Im callin your name

I brave fire and I brave rain
To be by your side Id do anything
I cant take the distance

I will go the distance
I will go the miles
Thats how much you mean to me
cause I cant take the distance
I cant take these miles
I cant take the time until I next see you smile
I cant take the distance
And Im not ashamed
That with every breath I take Im callin your name
I cant take the distance

Its hard to remember
As long as youre away
When I find solace
Theres only one way

A quiet one I was listening to early this morning.... 4.30 wake ups can be good :))))

Exhale ~ Whitney HoustonEveryone falls, in love sometimes

Sometimes it's wrong, and sometimes it's right
For every win, someone must fail
But there comes a point when...
When we exhale, yeah yeah

Say, shoop, shoop, shoop...
All you gotta do is say shoop, shoop, shoop...
My Lord now, shoop, shoop...

Sometimes you laugh, sometimes you cry
Life never tells us, the whens and whys
When you've got friends, to wish you well
You'll find a point when, you will exhale

Yeah, yeah
Say, shoop, shoop, shoop..
Say shoobedoo...

Oh, hearts are often broken
When there are words unspoken
In your soul there's, answers to your prayers
If you're searching for, a place you know
A familiar face, somewhere to go
You should look inside your soul
And you're half way there

Sometimes you laugh, sometimes you cry
Life never tells us, the whens and whys
When you've got friends, to wish you well
You'll find a point when, you will exhale

I say shoop, shoop...
Feels all right, you can say shoop...

Morning kiddies :))))

Yep I've said it before, getting this to turn over is like trying to coax a grumpy bed mate ;)..... yaaaaa ehhhh..... I'm sure it's not a case of my bounce to the ounce factor that this seems soooooo slow... yawn....

I'll throw one or two in to see if it stirs the pot :))))

Dont Stop the Music ~ Rihanna

That you'd be up in here lookin' like you do
You're makin' stayin' over here impossible
Baby I must say your aura is incredible
If you don't have to go don't

Do you know what you started
I just came here to party
But now we're rockin' on the dance floor
Acting naughty
Your hands around my waist
Just let the music play
We're hand in hand
Chest to chest
And now we're face to face

I wanna take you away
Lets escape into the music
DJ let it play
I just can't refuse it
Like the way you do this
Keep on rockin' to it
Please don't stop the
Please don't stop the music

I wanna take you away
Lets escape into the music
DJ let it play
I just can't refuse it
Like the way you do this
Keep on rockin' to it
Please don't stop the
Please don't stop the
Please don't stop the music

Baby are you ready cause its getting close
Don't you feel the passion ready to explode
What goes on between us no one has to know
This is a private show (oh)

Do you know what you started
I just came here to party
But now we're rockin' on the dance floor
Acting naughty
Your hands around my waist
Just let the music play
We're hand in hand
Chest to chest
And now we're face to face

I wanna take you away
Let's escape into to music

Stay or Play (2005)
off album, Sacred Space by
Neralie...

Why do the seasons change
why will the sun come out again,,
Why do we all feel pain
in such a different way..

Why does it have to change,
people need time like
the rivers need rain,
and we all need pleasure and pain
balance all again...

Chorus..

Do some people question
while others never want to change,
just a tapestry of life
and colours and
different games.
for in the end you know
does it really matter,
whether we choose to stay or play..

2..
Why does a rainbow shine
after the rain has gone,
lleft behind rivers of tears,
and emptyness here
like the years have
carried on with time,
fleeting memories
of what is gone
and afterall..

Do some people question
while others never want to change,
just a tapestry of life
and colours
and different games.
for in the end you know
does it really matter
whether we choose to stay or play

for in the end you know
does it really matter
whether we choose to
stay or play..

Blessings to all my lovely friends
here thankyou so much for your
kind words and inspiration to
help guide my way..

Wish you all well in life both now and in the future..

It's the end of a long hot day & all the kids have gone home so this isn't gunna turn over again tonight.... Gentle dreams, sleep safe in the arms of angels...

Hope Has A Place ~ Enya

One look at love
And you may see
It weaves a web
Over mystery,
All ravelled threads
Can rend apart
For hope has a place in the lovers heart.
Hope has a place in a lovers heart

Whispering world,
A sigh of sighs,
The ebb and the flow
Of the ocean tides,
One breath, one word
May end or may start
A hope in a place of the lovers heart,
Hope has a place in a lovers heart.

Look to love
You may dream,
And if it should leave
Then give it wings.
But if such a love
Is meant to be;
Hope is home, and the heart is free.

Under the heavens
We journey far,
On roads of life
Were the wanderers,
So let love rise,
So let love depart,
Let hope have a place in the lovers heart
Hope has a place in the lovers heart.

Look to love
And you may dream,
And if it should leave
Then give it wings.
But if such a love
Is meant to be;
Hope is home, and the heart is free.

Hope is home, and the heart is free.

Gentle Blessings, big smiles & soft sighs... SF. X X X (Big bad wolf...hmmmm .... interesting!)

I've shot off on a tangent as I was going thru my Robert Plant music...... I love this song, it tells a sad story in a gentle way... We all so need to care for our planet....

Great Spirit ~ Robert Plant

Great Spirit come, Great Spirit come
Who has chased away the moonbeams
Who has pulled a blanket across the sky
Who will sing in celebration
Throughout this land that's bound to die
Oh - that's bound to dies.
Great Spirit come, Great Spirit come
Who will put an end to all this sadness
Who hears the Earth that cries beneath the burning rain
All truth reduced to piles of greed and madness
The accident remains the same
Great Spirit come Oh - Always the same
Great Spirit come Mm, said it's alright, seems okay
Robbery and evil and the stealing
From the body and the mind for the healing
Of the spirit and the pride and the will and the will of the land
Grace, courage, honesty and love
Grace, courage, honesty and love
There's evil, there's evil, there's evil going on
Great Spirit come, Great Spirit come
I love my brother, I must share the seed
That falls through fortune at my feet
The Fate of Nations and of all their deeds
Lies trapped inside these hearts of greed,
Ooh - oh, yeah, oh, oh, oh, oh
Great Spirit come, Great Spirit come
Great Spirit come, Great Spirit come
Come on, come on, come on
Great Spirit come, Great Spirit come
Ooh yeah. Ooh yeah,
Grace, courage, honesty and love
Grace, courage, honesty and love
Great Spirit come, Great Spirit come
Come on, come on, come on ...
The will of the land
Great Spirit, Great Spirit come
The will of the land
Ooh, we'll sing in celebration
Ooh, we'll sing in celebration
Ooh, we'll sing in celebration, celebration
Sing in celebration, now now now now Sing in celebration

No it is not just you. This is so so so difficult to sign in to. It is no wonder that out of the thousands of people who join the bloggs, only a very few contribute to them.

Probably got better things to do eh'

Anyway.....Love the lyrics.

Posted by: angela11 at January 16, 2009 8:11 PM ~ Mountain Mama :) What a great name....

Congratulations on your move.... how wonderful for you..... I imagine you're somewhere up in the hinterlands.... My Dad's farm was under the watchful eye of Mt Warning.... I have moments of missing the east coast expecially the green. I raised a little one up in the hills inland from Taree. It was the best years of our life together......

Have a great time in Tamworth :))))

When The World Was Young ~ Page & Plant

Oh, yeah, here I am
I've been here since all time began
Oh, oh, I'm here and then
Go round and round and back again

Ah - ah - ah
Ah - ah - ah

Hey hey, come look and see
My footsteps through eternity
Riding hard, strong and free
The messenger will hold the key, ohh-hoh-hoh

Ah - ah - ah
Ah - ah - ah

I saw you
I knew you, I touched you
When the world was young
I saw, and I knew and I touched
When the world was young
When the world was young, oh ohhh

Ah - ah

High on a hill, home of my heart
Take me dancing round, oh, and round
Carry me still sweet home of my heart
Take me dancing round, oh, round

I saw you, and I knew you, and I touched you
When the world was young
I saw you, and I knew you, and I touched you
When the world was young

Oh oh oh oh oh oh ohhh

Round, round, round, round

I saw you, and I touched you, and I knew you
When the world was young
I saw you, and I touched you, and I knew you

SF, There's a little box that says 'remember me on this computer'...that should fix the problem for you. It is there when you are signing in. I hope this helps.

Temps hit 43 in Perth today!..... Ohhh send me a fireman in a big red truck.... :))))

Destination Anywhere ~ Commitments

Said to the man at the railroad station,
I want a ticket, just for one
He said, Well, if you insist.
Where you wanna go, Miss?

Oh, destination anywhere
East or west, I don't care
You see my baby don't love me no more
This old world ain't got no back door

He looked at me with a funny face and said,
Are you sure you wanna go just anyplace?
I said, If you ever loved someone, the way I loved that man,
Surely Mr. ticket agent, you should understand.

Destination anywhere
East or west, I don't care
You see my baby don't want me no more
This old world ain't got no back door

'Cause every day, it would swing both ways
And we'd go on back to happy yesterdays
When I loved him tenderly
And all he needed was me.

As I stepped through the window of the train
I thought I heard my baby call my name
But it was just the conductor saying,
Which stop would you prefer?

Oh, destination anywhere
East or west, I don't care
You see my baby don't love me no more
This old world ain't got no back door

Destination anywhere
East or west, I don't care
Destination anywhere
East or west, I don't care
Destination anywhere
East or west, I don't care
Destination anywhere
East or west, I don't care

Treat Her Right ~ Commitments

I wanna tell you a story every man ought to know
If you want a little lovin' you gotta start real slow
She's gonna love you tonight if you just treat her right
I wanna squeeze her real gentle, you gotta make her feel good
Tell her that you love her like you know you should
She'll be glad every night if you just treat her right

If you practice my method just as hard as you can
You gonna get a reputation as a lovin' man
Yeah, you'll be glad every night that you treated her right

Hey, hey, hey

I wanna tell you a story every man ought know
If you want a little lovin' you gotta start real slow
She's gonna love you tonight if you just treat her right

I wanna squeeze her real gentle, you gotta make her feel good
Tell her that you love her like you know you should
'Cause if you don't treat her right she will not love you tonight

Hey, hey, hey

"Breakfast in Bed" on the Dusty in Memphis record. Ahh, unrequited love.

You've been crying, your face is a mess,
Come inside dear, you can dry your tears on my dress.
She's hurt you again, I can tell,
I know that look so well,
Don't be shy, you've been here before,
Take your shoes off and I will lock the door,
And no one has to know you've come here again,
Darling it will like it's always been before

Last one for the night, have a great weekend everyone :))))

Paradise By The Dashboard Light Meat Loaf

I. Paradise
BOY:
I remember every little thing
As if it happened only yesterday
Parking by the lake
And there was not another car in sight
And I never had a girl
Looking any better than you did
And all the kids at school
They were wishing they were me that night
And now our bodies are oh so close and tight
It never felt so good, it never felt so right
And we're glowing the the metal on the edge of a knife
Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
C'mon! Hold on tight!
C'mon! Hold on tight!
Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night
I can see paradise by the dashboard light
GIRL:
Ain't no doubt about it
We were doubly blessed
Cause we were barely seventeen
And we were barely dressed
Ain't no doubt about it
Baby got to go and shout it
Ain't no doubt about it
We were doubly blessed
BOY:
Cause we were barely seventeen
And we were barely dressed
Baby doncha hear my heart
You got it drowning out the radio
I've been wating so long
For you to come along and have some fun
And I gotta let ya know
No you're never gonna regret it
So open up your eyes I got a big surprise
It'll feel all right
Well I wanna make your motor run
And now our bodies are oh so close and tight
It never felt so good, it never felt so right
And we're glowing the the metal on the edge of a knife
Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
C'mon! Hold on tight!
C'mon! Hold on tight!
Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night
I can see paradise by the dashboard light
Paradise by the dashboard light
You got to do what you can
And let Mother Naure do the rest
Ain't no doubt about it
We were doubly blessed
Cause we were barely seventeen
and we were barely --
we're gonna go all the way tongiht
we're gonna go all the way
and tonight the night....
RADIO BROADCAST:
Ok here we go, we got a real pressure cooker going here, two down, nobody on, no
score, bottom of the ninth, there's the wind-up, and there it is, a line shot up the
middle, look at him go. This boy can really fly! He's rounding first and really turning
it on now, he's not letting up at all, he's gonna try for second; the ball is bobbled out
in center, and here comes the throw, and what a throw! He's gonna slide in head first,
here he comes, he's out! No, wait, safe - safe at second base, this kid really makes
things happen out there. Batter steps up to the plate here's the pitch - he's going, and
what a jump he's got, he's trying for third, here's the throw, its in the dirt - safe at
third! Holy cow, stolen base! He's taking a pretty big lead out there, almost daring
him to try and pick him off. The pitcher glances over, winds up, and it bunted,
bunted down the third base line, the suicide squeeze is on! Here he comes, squeeze
play, it's gonna be close, here's the throw, here's the play at the plate, holy cow, I
think he's gonna make it!
II. Let Me Sleep On It
GIRL:
Stop right there!
I gotta know right now!
Before we go any further --!
Do you love me?
Will you love me forever?
Do you need me?
Will you never leave me?
Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life?
Will you take me away and will you make me your wife?
Do you love me?
Will you love me forever?
Do you need me?
Will you never leave me?
Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life?
Will you take me away and will you make me your wife?
I gotta know right now
Before we go any further
Do you love me !!!?
Will you love me forever !!!?
BOY:
Let me sleep on it
Baby, baby let me sleep on it
Let me sleep on it
And I'll give you an answer in the morning
Let me sleep on it
Baby, baby let me sleep on it
Let me sleep on it
And I'll give you an answer in the morning
Let me sleep on it
Baby, baby let me sleep on it
Let me sleep on it
And I'll give you an answer in the morning
GIRL:
I gotta know right now!
Do you love me?
Will you love me forever?
Do you need me?
Will you never leave me?
Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life?
Will you take me away and will you make me your wife?
I gotta know right now!
Before we go any further
Do you love me?
Will you love me forever?
BOY:
Let me sleep on it
Baby, baby let me sleep on it
Let me sleep on it
And I'll give you an answer in the morning
Let me sleep on it !!!
GIRL: Will you love me forever?
BOY: Let me sleep on it!!
GIRL:
Will you love me forever?
III. Praying for the End of Time
BOY:
I couldn't take it any longer
Lord I was crazed
And when the feeling came upon me
Like a tidal wave
I started swearing to my God and on my mother's grave
That I would love you to the end of time
I swore that I would love you to the end of time!
So now I'm praying for the end of time
To hurry up and arrive
Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you
I don't think that I can really survive
I'll never break my promise or forget my vow
But God only knows what I can do right now
I'm praying for the end of time
It's all that I can do
Praying for the end of time, so I can end my time with you!!!
BOY:
It was long ago and it was far away
And it was so much better than it is today
GIRL:
It never felt so good
It never felt so right
And we were glowing like
A metal on the edge of a knife

Tell me .......would you :D

Boy: on a hot summer night would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?
Girl: will he offer me his mouth?

Boy: yes

Girl: will he offer me his teeth?

Boy: yes

Girl: will he offer me his jaws?

Boy: yes

Girl: will he offer me his hunger?

Boy: yes

Girl: again, will he offer me his hunger?

Boy: yes!

Girl: and will he starve without me?

Boy: yes!

Girl: and does he love me?

Boy: yes

Girl: yes

Boy: on a hot summer night would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?

Girl: yes

Boy: i bet you to say that to all the boys.

It was a hot summer night and the beach was burning
There was fog crawling over the sand
When i listened to your heart i hear the whole world turning
I see the shooting stars
Falling through your trembling hands

You were licking your lips and your lipstick shining
I was dying just to ask for a taste
We were lying together in a silver lining
By the light of the moon
You know there's not another moment
Not another moment
Not another moment to waste

When you hold me so close that my knees grow weak
And my soul is flying high above the ground
I'm trying to speak but no matter what i do
I just can't seem to make any sound

And then you took the words right out of my mouth
Oh it must have been while you were kissing me
You took the words right out of my mouth
And i swear it's true
I was just about to say i love you

And then you took the words right out of my mouth
Oh it must have been while you were kissing me
You took the words right out of my mouth
And i swear it's true
I was just about to say i love you

Now my body is shaking like a wave on the water
And i guess that i'm beginning to grin
Oooh, we're finally alone and we can do what we want to
The night is young
And ain't no one gonna know where you
No one gonna know where you
No one's gonna know where you've been

You were licking your lips and your lipstick shining
I was dying just to ask for a taste
We were lying together in a silver lining
By the light of the moon
You know there's not another moment
Not another moment
Not another moment to waste

And then you took the words right out of my mouth
Oh it must have been while you were kissing me

The best song ever covered by a cat wearing boots & look good doing it :)))

Livin' La Vida Loca

She's into superstitions black cats and voodoo dolls.
I feel a premonition that girl's gonna make me fall.
She's into new sensations new kicks in the candle light.
She's got a new addiction for every day and night.

She'll make you take your clothes off and go dancing in the rain.
She'll make you live her crazy life but she'll take away your pain
like a bullet to your brain. Come On!

Upside, inside out she's livin la vida loca
She'll push and pull you down, livin la vida loca
Her lips are devil red and her skin's the color mocha
She will wear you out livin la vida loca Come On!
Livin la vida loca, Come on!
She's livin la vida loca.

Woke up in New York City in a funky cheap hotel
She took my heart and she took my money
she must've slipped me a sleeping pill
She never drinks the water and makes you order French Champagne
Once you've had a taste of her you'll never be the same
Yeah, she'll make you go insane.

Upside, inside out she's livin la vida loca
She'll push and pull you down, livin la vida loca
Her lips are devil red and her skin's the color mocha
She will wear you out livin la vida loca Come On!
Livin la vida loca, Come on!
She's livin la vida loca.

She'll make you take your clothes off and go dancing in the rain.
She'll make you live her crazy life
but she'll take away your pain like a bullet to your brain. Come On!

Upside, inside out she's livin la vida loca
She'll push and pull you down, livin la vida loca
Her lips are devil red and her skin's the color mocha
She will wear you out livin la vida loca Come On!
Livin la vida loca, Come on!
She's livin la vida loca.

this is one of the best Eagles songs l think

Witchy Woman

Raven hair and ruby lips
sparks fly from her finger tips
Echoed voices in the night
she's a restless spirit on
an endless flight
wooo hooo witchy woman, see how
high she flies
woo hoo witchy woman she got
the moon in her eye
She held me spellbound in the night
dancing shadows and firelight
crazy laughter in another
room and she drove herself to madness
with a silver spoon
woo hoo witchy woman see how high she flies
woo hoo witchy woman she got
the moon in her eye
Well I know you want a lover,
let me tell your brother,
she's been sleeping
in the Devil's bed.
And there's some rumors going round
someone's underground
she can rock you in the nighttime
'til your skin turns red
woo hoo witchy woman
see how high she flies
woo hoo witchy woman
she got the moon in her eye

hello lovely.
I recently moved to the mountains myself, around Brisbane.
The only song I hear right now is the plethora of circatas in hte gums, the kookaburras come down every night for a fed and the parrots and a resident 'ole pos'
Like Nel, there are waterfalls and running creeks, lush rainforests, beautiful people, lots to do, well not sure about evenings I haven't been out yet.
Gold Coast is only 1/2hr drive and Bris is 1 hr, close enough for now so I don't panic but far enough away not to be involved.
My friends new nick is 'Mountain Mama'
so Mountain Mama is heading down to Tamworth next weekend ' To have a heapin helpin of their hospitality'
Country music style , that is.

Parrty !

And lets continue the music with.......

1999 - Prince ( or what ever name he is calling himself at the moment) :)))

Don't worry, I won't hurt U
I only want U 2 have some fun
I was dreamin' when I wrote this
Forgive me if it goes astray
But when I woke up this mornin'
Coulda sworn it was judgment day
The sky was all purple,
there were people runnin' everywhere
Tryin' 2 run from the destruction,
U know I didn't even care

'Cuz they say two thousand zero zero party over,
oops out of time
So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999

I was dreamin' when I wrote this
So sue me if I go 2 fast
But life is just a party, and parties weren't meant 2 last
War is all around us, my mind says prepare 2 fight
So if I gotta die I'm gonna listen 2 my body tonight

Yeah, they say two thousand zero zero party over,
oops out of time
So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999
Yeah

Lemme tell ya somethin'
If U didn't come 2 party,
don't bother knockin' on my door
I got a lion in my pocket,
and baby he's ready 2 roar
Yeah, everybody's got a bomb,
we could all die any day
But before I'll let that happen,
I'll dance my life away

Oh, they say two thousand zero zero party over,
oops out of time
We're runnin' outta time (Tonight I'm gonna)
So tonight we gonna (party like it's 1999)
we gonna, oww

Say it 1 more time
Two thousand zero zero party over oops,
out of time
No, no (Tonight I'm gonna)
So tonight we gonna (party like it's 1999)
we gonna, oww

Alright, it's 1999
You say it, 1999
1999
1999 don't stop, don't stop, say it 1 more time
Two thousand zero zero party over,
oops out of time
Yeah, yeah (Tonight I'm gonna)
So tonight we gonna (party like it's 1999)

Hope everyone has a fantastic Friday and weekend also heres another friday song for those looking for adventure..

Born to be Wild..
Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
Lookin' for adventure
And whatever comes our way
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

I like smoke and lightning
Heavy metal thunder
Racin' with the wind
And the feelin' that I'm under
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

Like a true nature's child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never wanna die

Born to be wild
Born to be wild

[Interlude]

Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
Lookin' for adventure
And whatever comes our way
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

Like a true nature's child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never wanna die

Born to be wild
Born to be wild

As usual I think of some of the most stupid songs at the most silly times. This one is stuck in my head this morning.... bit of a change from the usual.... :))))

The Ballad of Jed Clampett

Come and listen to a story bout a man named Jed
Poor mountaineer barely kept his family fed
Then one day he was shooting for some food
And up through the ground come a bubbling crude

Oil that is, black gold, Texas tea

Well the first thing you know old Jeds a millionaire
Kin folk said Jed move away from there
Said California is the place you oughta be
So they loaded up the truck and they moved to Beverly

Hills that is, swimming pools, movie stars

Well now its time to say goodbye to Jed and all his kin
They would like to thank you folks for kindly dropping in
You're all invited back again to this locality
To have a heaping helping of their hospitality

Beverly Hillbillies, thats what they call em now,
Nice folks Yall come back now, ya hear?

Have a good one. SF :)

Burning Love ~ The King
Lord almighty,

I feel my temperature rising
Higher higher
Its burning through to my soul

Girl, girl, girl
You gonna set me on fire
My brain is flaming
I dont know which way to go

Your kisses lift me higher
Like the sweet song of a choir
You light my morning sky
With burning love

Ooh, ooh, ooh,
I feel my temperature rising
Help me, Im flaming
I must be a hundred and nine
Burning, burning, burning
And nothing can cool me
I just might turn into smoke
But I feel fine

Cause your kisses lift me higher
Like a sweet song of a choir
And you light my morning sky
With burning love

Its coming closer
The flames are reaching my body
Please wont you help me
I feel like Im slipping away
Its hard to breath
And my chest is a-heaving

Lord almighty,
Im burning a hole where I lay
Cause your kisses lift me higher
Like the sweet song of a choir
You light my morning sky
With burning love
With burning love
Ah, ah, burning love
Im just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love

Hmmmmm... call the fire brigade ;) SF X X X

Ooooops I hit the button before checking that last post..... & it's not the spelling mistakes I'm concerned about :)))) ..... I'm so technically challenged it's a worry... so now I've got over the fright factor I'll be a tad cheeky....

Any Man Of Mine ~ Shania Twain

This is what a woman wants...
Any man of mine better be proud of me
Even when Im ugly he still better love me
And I can be late for a date thats fine
But he better be on time
Any man of minell say it fits just right
When last years dress is just a little too tight
And anything I do or say better be okay
When I have a bad hair day
And if I change my mind
A million times
I wanna hear him say
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, yeah I like that way

Any man of mine better walk the line
Better show me a teasin' squeezin' pleasin' kinda time
I need a man who knows, how the story goes
Hes gotta be a heartbeatin' fine treatin'
Breathtakin' earthquakin' kind
Any man of mine
Well any man of mine better disagree
When I say another womans lookin' better than me
And when I cook him dinner and I burn it black
He better say, mmm, I like it like that yeah
And if I change my mind
A million times
I wanna hear him say
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I like it that way

Let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, yeah I like it that way

Any man of mine better walk the line
Better show me a teasin' squeezin' pleasin' kinda time
I need a man who knows, how the story goes
Hes gotta be a heartbeatin' fine treatin'
Breathtakin' earthquakin' kind
Any man of mine
Well any man of mine better disagree
When I say another womans lookin' better than me
And when I cook him dinner and I burn it black
He better say, mmm, I like it like that yeah
And if I change my mind
A million times
I wanna hear him say
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I like it that way

You gotta shimmy shake
Make the earth quake
Kick, turn, stomp, stomp, then you jump
Heel to toe, Do Si Do
'Til your feet And your backache
Keep it movin' `till you just can't take anymore
Come on everybody on the floor
A-one two, a three four
Hup two, hup
If you wanna be a man of mine, that's right
This is what a woman wants...

Sorry in advance if this ends up talking in tongues but you get that with me :))))

Posted by: softfeather at January 15, 2009 11:43 PM

Gee whiz it hot over this side of the nation....... tomorrow is forecasted to hit 40!

Sorry Drifter it's more like needing a pool party than a dance party :)))) Maybe a "rock pool party".... hmmmm

Something a little more mellow & lay back You've Got A Way ~ Shania Twain

You've got a way with me
Somehow you got me to believe
In everything that I could be
I've gotta say-you really got a way
You've got a way it seems
You gave me faith to find my dreams
You'll never know just what that means
Can't you see... you got a way with me

It's in the way you want me
It's in the way you hold me
The way you show me just what love's made of
It's in the way we make love

You've got a way with words
You get me smiling even when it hurts
There's no way to measure what your love is worth
I can't believe the way you get through to me

It's in the way you want me
It's in the way you hold me
The way you show me just what love's made of
It's in the way we make love

Oh, how I adore you
Like no one before you
I love you just the way you are

It's in the way you want me
It's in the way you hold me
The way you show me just what love's made of
It's in the way we make love

It's just the way you are

Gentle Blessings. SF

Ohhh yeah Tex Perkins does it for me hehe,hes a blue mountains boy too... One of my all time favourite albums, Honey moon is Over
this would be my favourite song on it.

Black Stick

My heart is a muscle and it pumps blood
Like a big old black steam train
My veins are the tracks
And the city is my brain
My stomach is the ocean and it swallows up the sun
At the end of a summer's day
My breast like a breeze
Blows all those storm clouds
Away
ahhh ... (x4)
My head is the city and it houses all the thoughts
And speech that I have
And the mayor of the city says the city seems ain't half ... bad.
My arms could be weapons or instruments of love
My legs are skyscrapers, they tower
Above you
ahhh... (x4)
My heart is a muscle and it pumps blood
Like a big old black steam train
My veins are the tracks
And the city is my brain
My stomach is the ocean and it swallows up the sun
At the end of a summer's day
My breast like a breeze, blows
all those storm clouds
Away
ahhh ... (x4)
I could be your whole world (x4)

Enjoy
:))Nel

Sex on a Stick !!! :O.....................Your a Wild thing :))) LOL

Posted by: outbackdrifter at January 15, 2009 7:31 PM

HaHa, OBD, me, a wild child ??

Watched Rockwiz the other night, Tex Perkins was hosting as Julia Zemiro was having a break. Now that Tex Perkins, he is sex on a stick!! Hot as, l reckon.....

Shelby, "Heart Of The Matter" got a mention or two on another similar blog topic a while ago......
Don Henley is a superb songwriter and singer, his passion for what he writes and sings is so very evident in that song.....

Another song on Hell Freezes Over is "Love Will Keep Us Alive, written by Timothy B. Schmidt.
"l would die for you,
Climb the highest mountain,
Baby there's nothin' l wouldn't do."

One great Eagles song is 'After The Thrill is Gone", from a very early album "One Of These Nights". Sung by both Glenn Frey and Don Henley. Harmonies soaring, beautiful lyrics, ahhh you can't beat The Eagles l think..................K

Hello everyone *smile* ....

So hot here ....I hope you are all enjoying the new year ...I'm going away on the weekend to see my daughter at the central coast (of NSW) so looking forward to some time by the ocean...

Reminds me of David Gray ...

Sail away with me honey
I put my heart in your hands
Sail away with me honey now, now, now
Sail away with me
What will be will be
I wanna hold you now

Crazy skies all wild above me now
Winter howling at my face
And everything I held so dear
Disappeared without a trace
Oh all the times Ive tasted love
Never knew quite what I had
Little darling if you hear me now
Never needed you so bad
Spinning round inside my head

Sail away with me honey
I put my heart in your hands
Sail away with me honey now, now, now
Sail away with me
What will be will be
I wanna hold you now

Ive been talking drunken gibberish
Falling in and out of bars
Trying to find some explanation here
For the way some people are
How did it ever come so far

Sail away with me honey
I put my heart in your hands
Sail away with me honey now, now, now
Sail away with me
What will be will be
I wanna hold you now
Sail away with me honey
I put my heart in your hands
Sail away with me honey now, now, now
Sail away with me
What will be will be
I wanna hold you now

Hi to all, having just breezed through the songs that have been listed for their lyrical content I was surprised that the following has not got a mention. I think perhaps it is the perfect song for all members of this site. If you are interested he did a brilliant version on the "Hell Freezes Over" DVD with The Eagles (even better live!). Well worth a listen. Take care.

"Heart Of The Matter" - Don Henley

I got the call today
And I didn't want to hear
But I knew that it would come
An old true friend of ours
Was talking on the phone
She said you'd found someone

And I thought of all the bad luck
And the struggles we went through
How I lost me, and you lost you
What are all these voices
Outside love's open door
Make us throw off our contentment
And beg for something more

I'm learning to live without you now
But I miss you sometimes
The more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought I knew
I'm learning again

I've been trying to get down
To the heart of the matter
But my will gets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think it's about
Forgiveness, Forgiveness
Even if, Even if you don't love me anymore

Ah these times are so uncertain
There's a yearning undefined
People filled with rage
We all need a little tenderness
How can love survive
In such a graceless age
Oh the trust and self-assurance
That lead to happiness
They're the very things we kill I guess
Oh pride and competition
Cannot fill these empty arms
And the work I put between us
You know it doesn't keep me warm

I'm learning to live without you now
But I miss you baby
The more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought I figured out
I have to learn again

I've been trying to get down
To the heart of the matter
But everything changesgets weak
And my friends seem to scatter
But I think it's about
Forgiveness, Forgiveness
Even if, Even if you don't love me anymore

There are people in your life
Who've come and gone
They let you down
You know they hurt your pride
You better put it all behind you babe
'Cuz life goes on
You keep carrying that anger
It'll eat you up inside baby

I've been trying to get down
To the heart of the matter
But my will gets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think it's about
Forgiveness, Forgiveness
Even if, Even if you don't love me

I've been trying to get down
To the heart of the matter
Because the flesh will get weak
And the ashes will scatter
But I think it's about
Forgiveness, Forgiveness
Even if, Even if you don't love me

Hello Everyone and a very Happy New Year to you All on the lovely music blog.

As for me . . . new home, new job, new everything. Now . . . where to find my NEW kayak . . . and to buy and great set of roof wracks (that's my next project)!!

In the last day or so I have rediscovered some great driving music. Little River Band having some great ones. Here's one that I particularly like and relate to. It just makes me feel so fresh, free and adventurous again.

Here's a link if you wanna listen guys.

http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=9JPLJk-UOHc

Cool Change
by Little River Band

If there's one thing in my life that's missing
It's the time I spend alone
Sailing on the cool and bright clear waters

There's lots of those friendly people
Showin me ways to go
And I never want to lose your inspiration

Time for
a cool change...
I know that it's time
for a cool cool change

Now that my life
is so pre-arranged
I know that it's time
for a cool change

Well I was born in the sign of water
And it's there that I feel my best
The albatross and the whales
they are my brothers

It's kind of a special feeling
When you're out on the sea alone
Starin' at the full moon
like a lover

Time for
a cool change...
I know that it's time
for a cool cool change

Now that my life
is so prearranged
I know that it's time
for a cool change

Well I've never been romantic
And sometimes I don't care
I know it may sound selfish
But let me breathe the air

If there's one thing in my life that's missing
It's the time that I spend alone
Sailing on the cool and bright clear waters

It's kind of a special feeling
When you're out on the sea alone
Staring at the full moon like a lover

Time for
a cool change...
I know that it's time
for a cool cool change

Now that my life is so prearranged
I know that it's time
for a cool change.

In dedication to you next 2009 adventure!

Night everyone.

Luv Glitter XO

My last song for the night & one l love, you don�t need to be dieing to live like this :))

Live Like You Were Dying - Tim McGraw

he said i was in my early 40's
with alot of life before me
then a moment came that stopped me on a dime
i spent most of the next days
looking at the x-rays
talkin bout the options
and talkin bout sweet time
i asked him when it sank in
that this might really be the real end
how's it hit ya when you get that kind of news
man..whatcha do...and he said

i went sky divin
i went rocky mountain climbin
i went 2.7 seconds on a bull named Foomanchoo
and i loved deeper and i spoke sweeter
and i gave forgiveness i've been denin'
and he said someday i hope you get the chance
to live like you were dyin

he said i was finally the husband
that most the time i wasn't
and i became a friend a friend would like to have
and all the sudden going fishin
wasn't such an imposition
and i went 3 times that year i lost my dad
well i...i finally read the good book
and i took a good long hard look
at what i'd do if i could do it all again
and then

i went sky divin
i went rocky mountain climbin
i went 2.7 seconds on a bull named Foomanchoo
and i loved deeper and i spoke sweeter
and i gave forgiveness i've been denin'
and he said someday i hope you get the chance
to live like you were dyin

like tomorrow was a gift
and you got eternity
to think about what you'd do with it
and what did you do with it
what did i do with it
what would i do with it

i went sky divin
i went rocky mountain climbin
i went 2.7 seconds on a bull named Foomanchoo
and then i loved deeper and i spoke sweeter
and i watched the eagle as it was flyin
and he said someday i hope you get the chance
to live like you were dyin
to live like you were dyin
to live like you were dyin
to live like you were dyin

Thanks hun I had noticed ;))), Phill does write well, its nice to know someone can reflect through words the essence of ones feelings, both for a man and a woman.. I know when I write songs, its coming from a different part of me to when i speak, it comes without thought often, rather feeling and connection. Its almost a connection to the divine source when you put pen to paper and let it flow.. Journalling is another form of writing I really love, so much to learn about yourself when you journal..
Interestingly those who write the deepest of songs are not always able to express that in life, it is their form of expression, through their songs and the essence of who they are on the inside.
Glad your travelling well hun and being distracted is not a bad thing hehe.
;)))Nel

An other great garth brooks song :)))

We call them cool
Those hearts that have no scars to show
The ones that never do let go
And risk the tables being turned.

We call them fools
Who have to dance within the flame
Who chance the sorrow and the shame
That always comes with getting burned.
But youve got to be tough when consumed by desire
cause its not enough just to stand outside the fire.

We call them strong
Those who can face this world alone
Who seem to get by on their own
Those who will never take the fall.
We call them weak
Who are unable to resist
The slightest chance love might exist
And for that forsake it all.
Theyre so hell-bent on giving, walking a wire
Convinced its not living if you stand outside the fire.

Standing outside the fire
Standing outside the fire
Life is not tried, it is merely survived
If youre standing outside the fire.

Theres this love that is burning
Deep in my soul
Constantly yearning to get out of control
Wanting to fly higher and higher
I cant abide
Standing outside the fire.

Standing outside the fire
Standing outside the fire
Life is not tried, it is merely survived
If youre standing outside the fire.

A song for all that are starting there Second life in 2009 :))

I'll Be The Wind lyrics - Garth Brooks

You let him lock you away in his prison of sadness
It's up to you to decide where tomorrow will lead
If it's time to be leaving your burdens behid
I could be just what you need

I'll be the wind
I'll be the highway
I'll be your midnight friend
And we'll fly away
When you come across the courage
To spread you wings again
I'll be the wind

I can't imagin the gypsy that you were before him
Carefree and wild a spirited child of the road
Lately girl you've been wearing the weight of the world
And I'd lide to lighten you load

I'll be the wind
I'll be the highway
I'll be your midnight friend
And we'll fly away
When you come across the courage
To spread you wings again
I'll be the wind

If it's time to be leaving your burdens behind
I could be just what you need

I'll be the wind
I'll be the highway
I'll be your midnight friend
And we'll fly away
When you come across the courage
To spread you wings again
I'll be the wind

Hi Nel, sorry for taking so long to catch up with you, someone has side tracked me the last few weeks & l think they will continue do that to :)), Yes l have heard the same story about that phil collins song, l was telling someone on the weekend that l think that phil collins is a blokes songwriter & singer, for me he seems to be able to put to words all the feeling us blokes feel we go through both good & bad :))))

Ben Harper
Diamonds on the Inside..

I knew a girl
Her name was truth
She was a horrible liar
She couldnt spend one day alone
But she couldnt be satisfied
When you have everything
You have everything to lose
She made herself a bed of nails
And shes planning on putting it to use
But she had diamonds on the inside
She had diamonds on the inside
She had diamonds on the inside
Diamonds

A candle throws its light into the darkness
In a nasty world so shines a good deed
Make sure the fortune that you seek
Is the fortune that you need
Tell me why the first to ask
Is the last to give every time
What you say and do not mean
Follows you close behind

She had diamonds on the inside
She had diamonds on the inside
She wore diamonds on the inside
Diamonds
Diamonds

Like the soldier long standing under fire
Any change comes as a relief
Let the givers name remain unspoken
She is just a generous thief

She had diamonds on the inside
She had diamonds on the inside
She wore diamonds on the inside
She wore diamonds
Oh - diamonds
She had diamonds
She wore diamonds
Diamonds

Yes the story Nel's related with the ending of a childs life is tragic....

The film clip with the gorilla is an absolute masterpiece piece of digital art.

So poignant in the contrasts...

I often wondered what that song was about.

Wonder if Cadbury's knew before they created that (which I loved) great advert for chocolate with the gorilla playing the intro on drums. whci I first saw on the DeGreun Factor.
Now I don't want to see that ad ever again.

Posted by outbackdrifter at January 13, 2009 4:48 PM ~ Drifter Honey.... hmmmmmm. I only say it to one & he is NOT a boy!

SF sighs softly, raises eyebrow, smiles gently & starts humming closing tune to “Astro Boy�.

Yep energize me…… :))))

Come and join us in a melody,
A song of happiness for you and me.
Sing of joy, sing about a boy,
Little hero, AstroBoy

Come and join us in a fantasy,
We can all be heroes, you and me.
Sing of joy, sing about a toy,
Little hero, AstroBoy

Lighting up the way for all,
For soon he will fight for right,
Strong as steel and with a heart of gold.

Sing of glory,
Pour your heart out,
Your voices will be heard,
And it's raining out with love for all.

Gentle Blessings. SF ;)

Energize Me ~ After Forever

Energize me with a simple touch
Or with an open heart
Energize me, fire up this flame
Thats burning between us

Its not a fantasy
Another mystery
Its just what I can feel
And something I can see
Its like a memory
And in a melody
Its just what we all know
And we all hear

I was blind
I was closed down
Could not feel
Or set it free

Energize me with a simple touch
Or with an open heart
Energize me, fire up this flame
Thats burning between us

It lies in everyone
This swelling energy
Its all around us too
Electrifying you
So cant you set it free?
This virtue is the key
Just something we all know
And we are used

I can feel
Its inside me
Open up
Enlighten me

Energize me with a simple touch
Or with an open heart
Energize me, fire up this flame
Thats burning between us

Energize me with a simple smile
Open up your mind
Energize me activate that light
Thats given and taken

Can you believe in the power thats burning between us?
Would you believe if you open up your mind
Open up your mind

Energize me with a simple touch
Or with an open heart
Energize me, fire up this flame
Thats burning between us

Energize me with a simple smile
Open up your mind
Energize me, fire up this flame
Thats burning forever

Gentle Blessings. SF :)

Phill collins, love his music
I read a peice Phill Collins wrote about this song, when he was a child his friend drowned in front of his eyes.. A man standing by the river didnt help them, he never forgot or forgave and wrote this song for his friend. He then tracked the man down many years later and invited him to one of his concerts, to which the man had no idea who he was and went.
He then turned the lights down low and put a spot light on that man and sang him this song..
Imagine that how profound that moment would be for both of those human beings..Wasnt sure if anyone knew the story behind the song..enjoy...

I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord
Ive been waiting for this moment, all my life, oh lord
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord, oh lord

Well, if you told me you were drowning
I would not lend a hand
Ive seen your face before my friend
But I dont know if you know who I am
Well, I was there and I saw what you did
I saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off the grin, I know where youve been
Its all been a pack of lies

And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord
Ive been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh lord
I can feel it in the air tonight, oh lord, oh lord
And Ive been waiting for this moment all my life, oh lord, oh lord

Well I remember, I remember dont worry
How could I ever forget, its the first time, the last time we ever met
But I know the reason why you keep your silence up, no you dont fool me
The hurt doesnt show; but the pain still grows
Its no stranger to you or me

And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord...

:)))Nel

Maybe l should have, so here is one now, the song tell it all :)).

Strangers Like Me - Phil Collins - Tarzan

Whatever you do, I'll do it too
Show me everything and tell me how
It all means something
And yet nothing to me

I can see there's so much to learn
It's all so close and yet so far
I see myself as people see me
Oh, I just know there's something
bigger out there

I wanna know, can you show me
I wanna know about these
strangers like me
Tell me more, please show me
Something's familliar about these stransgers like me

Every gesture, every moe that she makes
Makes me feel like never before
Why do I have
This growing need to be beside her

Ooo, these emotions I never knew
Of some other world far beyond this place
Beyond the trees, aboe the clouds
I see before me a new horizon

I wanna know, can you show me
I wanna know about these strangers like me
Tell me more, please show me
Something's familiar about these strangers like me

Come with me now to see my world
Where there's beauty beyond your dreams
Can you feel the things I feel
Right now, with you
Take my hand
There's a world I need to know

I wanna know, can you show me
I wanna know about these strangers like me
Tell me more, please show me
Something's familiar about these strangers like me

... I wanna know

There Must Be An Angel ~ Eurythmics

No-one on earth could feel like this.
I'm thrown and overblown with bliss.
There must be an angel
Playing with my heart.
I walk into an empty room
And suddenly my heart goes "boom"
It's an orchestra of angels
And they're playing with my heart.

Must be talking to an angel

No-one on earth could feel like this.
I'm thrown and overblown with bliss.
There must be an angel
Playing with my heart.
And when i think that i'm alone
It seems there's more of us at home.
It's a multitude of angels
And they're playing with my heart.

I must be hallucinating
Watching angels celebrating.
Could this be reactivating
All my senses dislocating
This must be a strange deception
By celestial intervention.
Leavin' me the recollection
Of your heavenly connection.

Posted by: softfeather at January 12, 2009 4:50 AM

No real reason..... but it can be a challenge for people who have known you for years to adjust when you change direction :))))

Hold the Dream ~ Firehouse

When you're lost and lonely
And you feel you can't go on
In the blink of any eye, you could throw it all away
You can turn your world around
Show them all what you can do
Just believe, and trust your heart to see you through

A dream so real, you can feel it in the palm of your hand
So hang onto tomorrow
And never look back again

Hold the dream
Don't ever let it go
Hold the dream

Don't ever let it get you down
When they turn their back on you
Just do what feels right for you
You can find what you're looking for
Don't get lost along the way
Always be strong. Your heart can't be wrong
Don't give up and your dreams will come true

A dream so real
You can feel it in the palm of your hand
So hang onto tomorrow
And never look back again

Hang onto tomorrow
Hold the dream
Don't ever let it go
Hold the dream
Hold the dream

Hang onto tomorrow
Hold the dream
Don't ever let it go
Hold the dream
Hang onto tomorrow
Hold the dream
Don't ever let it go
Hold the dream
Hold the dream

Bliss as I found a Phil Collins song to fill a need. I'm learning to see life through your eyes. The readjustment is taking me time & I get frustrated with myself. I won't give in because my struggle is so worth the journey. Thank you for your patience..... Maybe you should be posting this for me! :))))

Look Through My Eyes ~ Phil Collins ~ Brother Bear

There are things in life you'll learn and
In time you'll see
Cause out there somewhere
It's all waiting
If you keep believing
So don't run, don't hide
It will be all right
You'll see, trust me
I'll be there watching over you

Just take a look through my eyes
There's a better place
somewhere out there
Just take a look through my eyes
Everything changes
You'll be amazed what you'll find
If you look through my eyes

There will be times on this journey
All you'll see is darkness
Out there somewhere daylight finds you
If you keep believing

So don't run, don't hide
It will be all right
You'll see, trust me
I'll be there watching over you

Just take a look through my eyes
There's a better place
somewhere out there
Just take a look through my eyes
Everything changes
You'll be amazed what you'll find
If you look through my eyes

All the things that you can change
There's a meaning in everything
And you will find all you need
There's so much to understand

Just take a look through my eyes
There's a better place
somewhere out there
Just take a look through my eyes
Everything changes
You'll be amazed what you'll find
If you look through my eyes

Take a look through my eyes

Gentle Blessings. SF X X X

Tracy Chapman
Baby can I hold you...

Sorry
Is all that you cant say
Years gone by and still
Words dont come easily
Like sorry like sorry

Forgive me
Is all that you cant say
Years gone by and still
Words dont come easily
Like forgive me forgive me

But you can say baby
Baby can I hold you tonight
Maybe if I told you the right words
At the right time youd be mine

I love you
Is all that you cant say
Years gone by and still
Words dont come easily
Like I love you I love you

For no good reason:

The Pheasant Plucking Song (short version)

Me husband is a keeper, he's a very busy man,
I try to understand him and I help him all I can,
But sometimes of an evening I feel a trifle dim,
All alone and plucking pheasants when I'd rather pluck with him.

I'm not the pheasant plucker,
I'm the pheasant plucker's mate
And I'm only plucking pheasants
Cos the pheasant plucker's late.

I'm not good at plucking pheasants, pheasant plucking I get stuck,
Though some peasants find it pleasant I'd much rather pluck a duck,
Oh, but plucking geese is gorgeous, I can pluck a goose with ease
But plucking pheasants is sheer torture, for they haven't any grease.

I'm not the pheasant plucker,
He has gone out on the tiles,
He only plucked one pheasant
And I'm sitting here with piles.

My good friend Godfrey's most adept, he's really got the knack,
He likes to have a pheasant plucked before he hits the sack.
I try and lend a helping hand, I gather up the feathers,
It's really all this pheasant plucking keeps us here together.

I'm not the pheasant plucker,
I'm the pheasant plucker's friend,
And I'm only plucking pheasants
As a means unto an end.

Are You With Me? ~ Potbelleez

Crawling
From the inside
To the other side

Fighting
For the people
Reuniting

So come on, come on
Let it all out, let it all out
I know you can

Together, together
We're stronger as one
Are you with me?

Together, together
We're stronger as one
Are you with me?

We are opening
Up the future
From the chaos of the dark

Living
In the moments
Leading everyone

So come on, come on
Let it all out, let it all out
I know you can

Together, together
We're stronger as one
Are you with me?

Together, together
We're stronger as one
Are you with me?

Yeah come play with me :)))) SF X X X .

Something to get the body stirring this morning... Get the hips swaying; yeah shake the butt & curl the toes.... :))))

Not too many words to remember if ya haven't had enough cups of coffee to stimulate ya upper brain.... I don't care if you stand there looking great & grumpy.... just move ya damn hips! ;)

Switch ~ Will Smith (ahhhh)

Yo mic check, mic check, yeah here you go
Nah, hit me over here
Yeah, I heard he got that hot new thing
It's called Switch, switch
Let's get it going

Hey, Hey, turn it over and hit it,
Turn around now, switch
Turn it over and hit it

Hey, vibe to vibe a second, it's a club girl why you arrived naked
Hear that, how the veteran glide the record
But don't download, go out and buy the record
Hey, something sexy 'bout her
Girl on the floor, all her friends around her
I mean real clean, ain't gotta touch or nothin'
It ain't like I like a chick on chick or somtin'
I'm just a sucker for a hot track
Gimme a drink and a chick to tell 'Stop that'
Dance is a hop and a clap, flip it round
Now bring it on back, break it down
Now switch

ooh la la la, ooh la la la

I gotta question, I need to ask somebody
Why is it that when y'all see me at the party
Y'all be looking like, Ooh, he a movie star
He ain't supposed to be out on the floor with everybody
But wait, oh, y'all forgetting
When I was, amateur spitting before the scripts were written
First one in, last one out the club
Burst in there, passing out in the club
Back at it, this cat is the wit and the charm
Taking you higher, like a syringe hittin' ya arm
Bringing the fire, making your Benz ring the alarm
Let me see you clap, spin baby, come on

ooh la la la la, ooh la la la

Oh, you just gonna stand there, huh
What you too cute to dance, or you scared

It ain't really that hard to do and
I ain't trying to be in love with you and
All I wanted was a moment or two to
See if you could do that switch-a-roo and
Shut your mouth fool, get your crew and
The thick body and the rear one too and
I'll be right here waiting on you
See if y'all can do that switch-a-roo

Hey, hey

That's what I'm talking bout, do that thing mama
That's what I'm talking bout, do that thing mama
That's what I'm talking bout, do that thing mama
That's what I'm talking bout
hey hey

OK kids, get up off ya butts & dance to the music.... :)))) X X X

Last one for the night... I went through heaps of my CD's & couldn't find anything to make me smile so searched for something on the net..... :)))) I would have posted a Phil Collins song but nah not tonight, something about a bloke thing......

Kiss ~ Tom Jones

You don't have to be beautiful
To turn me on
I just need your body, baby
From dusk till dawn
You don't need experience
To turn me out
You just leave it all up to me
I'll show you what it's all about

You don't have to be rich to be my girl
You don't have to be cool to rule my world
Ain't no particular sign I'm more compatible with
I just want your extra time and your KISS

You got to not talk dirty, baby
If you wanna impress me
You can't be too flirty, mama
I know how to undress me
I want to be your fantasy
Maybe, you could be mine
You just leave it all up to me
We could have a real good time

You don't have to be rich to be my girl
You don't have to be cool to rule my world
Ain't no particular sign I'm more compatible with
I just want your extra time and your KISS

I think I'd better dance now.....

Women, not girls, rule my world
I said they rule my world
Act your age woman, not your shoe size
Maybe we could do the twirl?
You don't have to watch Dynasty
To have an attitude
You just leave it all up to me
My love will be your food

You don't have to be rich to be my girl
You don't have to be cool to rule my world
Ain't no particular sign, I'm more compatible with,
I just want your extra time and your KISS

Love the ending on this song.... an afternoon experience has reduced the poor guy to a mess! Words just escape him....... hmmm :))))

Your Body is a Wonderland ~ John Mayer

We got the afternoon
You got this room for two
One thing I've left to do
Discover me
Discovering you

One mile to every inch of
Your skin like porcelain
One pair of candy lips and
Your bubblegum tongue

And if you want love
We'll make it
Swim in a deep sea
Of blankets
Take all your big plans
And break 'em
This is bound to be awhile

Your body is a wonderland
Your body is a wonder, I'll use my hands
Your body is a wonderland

Something 'bout the way the hair falls in your face
I love the shape you take when crawling towards the pillowcase
You tell me where to go and
Though I might leave to find it
I'll never let your head hit the bed
Without my hand behind it

You want love
We'll make it
Swim in a deep sea
Of blankets
Take all your big plans
And break 'em
This is bound to be awhile

Your body is a wonderland
Your body is a wonder, I'll use my hands
Your body is a wonderland

Damn baby
You frustrate me
I know you're mine all mine all mine
But you look so good it hurts sometimes

Your body is a wonderland
Your body is a wonder, I'll use my hands
Your body is a wonderland
Your body is a wonderland

Da da dup ba da da da
Ba ba dup ba la la la
Ba ba dup ba ba da da

Shrek & Fiona should do this song in their next movie.... Tina & Jimmy did a great job of screaming it..... :)))) (no disrespect to the singers)

Simply the Best

I call you, when I need you my hearts on fire
You come to me, come to me, wild and wild

You come to me, give me everything I need
Give me a lifetime of promises and a world of dreams
Speak the language of love like you know what it means
And it cant be wrong, take my heart and make it strong, baby

Youre simply the best, better than all the rest, better than anyone, anyone
Ive ever met
Im stuck on your heart, I hang on every word you say
Tear us apart, baby I would rather be dead

In your heart I see the start of every night and every day
In your eyes, I get lost, I get washed away
Just as long as Im here in your arms I could be in no better place

Youre simply the best, better than all the rest, better than anyone, anyone
Ive ever met
Im stuck on your heart, I hang on every word you say
Tear us apart, baby I would rather be dead

Its the time you leave me I start losing control, youre walking away with my
Heart and my soul, I can feel you even when Im alone, oh baby dont let go!

And your the best, better than all the rest, better than anyone, anyone ive
Ever met!
Im stuck on your heart, I hang on every word you say
Tear us apart, baby I would rather be dead, ooh youre the best

Tidying up & throwing out some old CD's I found this one & decided to give a play...... I remember I enjoyed the video clip more than the music.... yeah girl .. give a bit of it back to the fellas! ..... :))))

Man, I Feel Like A Woman ~ Shania Twain

I'm going out tonight I'm feelin' alright
Gonna let it all hang out
Wanna make some noise really raise my voice
Yeah, I wanna scream and shout
No inhibitions make no conditions
Get a little outta line
I ain't gonna act politically correct
I only wanna have a good time

The best thing about being a woman
Is the prerogative to have a little fun, fun, fun

Oh, oh, oh, go totally crazy forget I'm a lady
Men's shirts short skirts
Oh, oh, oh, really go wild yeah, doin' it in style

Color my hair do what I dare
Oh, oh, oh, I wanna be free yeah, to feel the way I feel

I've been enjoy the new Seal album simply called Soul, that one of my sons gave me for Christmas ...

When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh now now stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me

If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
And the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me-e, yeah

Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me, oh now now stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

Darlin', darlin', stand by me-e, stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

I've had a lazy afternoon lying on the lounge room floor & watching Shrek movies. It was bliss, well the parts I was awake to watch :))))

The "Shrek dance party song" always puts a smile on the dial. Such a great list of songs ~ Just the Way You Are, Baby Got Back, YMCA, Stayin Alive, Dance to the Music, Like A Virgin, Feelings, Do You Want to Hurt Me, Who Let the Dogs Out, Happy Together.....

A perfect way to spend the afternoon winding down & feeling good & mellow with life.

Looking For Something - eRa

Something new
Something good
Something fast
Something exciting

Looking for something
Something won
Something real
something strong
Something exciting

Looking for something
Something won
Something good
Something strong
Something exciting

Looking for something
I wanna share something
I wanna feel
Something won
Something real

Last Goodbye Lyrics
Artist(Band):Jeff Buckley Review The Song (17) Print the Lyrics

(J. Buckley)

This is our last goodbye
I hate to feel the love between us die.
But it's over
Just hear this and then I'll go:
You gave me more to live for,
More than you'll ever know.

Well, this is our last embrace,
Must I dream and always see your face?
Why can't we overcome this wall?
Baby, maybe it's just because I didn't know you at all.

Kiss me, please kiss me,
But kiss me out of desire, babe, and not consolation.
Oh, you know it makes me so angry 'cause I know that in time
I'll only make you cry, this is our last goodbye.

Did you say, "No, this can't happen to me"?
And did you rush to the phone to call?
Was there a voice unkind in the back of your mind saying,
"Maybe, you didn't know him at all,
you didn't know him at all,
oh, you didn't know"?

Well, the bells out in the church tower chime,
Burning clues into this heart of mine.
Thinking so hard on her soft eyes, and the memories
Offer signs that it's over, it's over.

Quite fitting for me right now, and such a beautiful song...
:))Nel

There are times I need a totally different style of music to centre me...today is one of those days. I find Ben Harpers alternative style just the recipe for today.....

God Fearing Man

Listen mister brother sister
family and friend
I fear with each day pass
our time grows closer to the end

listen stranger passer by
and those I never knew
there's not one day that you are living
has been promised to you

I am a God fearing man
I'm a God fearing man
I reach out for my God's hand
I'm a God fearing man

listen mother sister brother
relatives and kin
you want to know just where you're going
you got to know where you've been

tell me what gives one the right
to say their God is better than anybody else
don't we all have a right
to find God for our self

I am a God fearing man
I'm a God fearing man
I reach up for my God's hand
I'm a God fearing man

when I rise with the morning sun
I give thanks to my God
for the gift of another one

and when my day is over
and complete
I reach to my God
to put me back on my feet

I am a God fearing man
I'm a God fearing man
I reach up for my God's hand
I'm a God fearing man

"This is my reason for saying thank you".... every evening I see the stars & I hear this song....

Thankyou, Stars ~ Katie Malua

Some call it faith, some call it love
Some call it guidance from above
You are the reason we found ours
So thank you stars

Some people think it's far away
Some know it's with them everyday
You are the reason we found ours
So thank you stars

There are no winds that can blow it away on the air
When they try to blow it away's when you know it will always be there

To some it's the strength to be apart
To some it's a feeling in the heart
And when you're out there on your own, it's the way back home

There are no winds that can blow it away on the air
When they try to blow it away's when you know it will always be there

Some call it faith, some call it love
Some call it guidance from above
You are the reason we found ours
So thank you stars
Thank you stars
Thank you stars

Gentle smiles, big dreams, tender hearts & life journeys... SF X X X

Posted by: softfeather at January 8, 2009 11:57 PM

I don't feel it mattters which version you hear, this song always pulls the heart strings.... I'm still able to find the child within & can connect with this song..... Keep your dreams alive...hold them tight & they will come true....

When you wish upon a star ~ Pinocchio

When you wish upon a star, makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires will come to you

If your heart is in your dreams, nothing else is too extreme
When you wish upon a star as dreamers do

Fate is kind, she brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of their secret longing

Like a boat out of the blue, fate steps in and sees you thru
When you wish upon a star, your dreams come true

Gentle Blessings. SF

"Nothing else Matters" by Metallica is good.

Although I think it should be sung in German.

Some songs - like Opera in general , or the group "Ramstiem" in particular - being able to understand the words distracts!

But thats just me.

Posted by: stephen54 at January 8, 2009 11:45 PM

Heaven is a mate who is strong but will lay with me & watch movies like this..... plus love the songs :))))

Friday night stuff...drag down the doonas & pillows onto the floor for a movie night after a tough week at work...

When You Believe ~ Prince of Egypt
Many nights we've prayed
With no proof anyone could hear
In our hearts a hopeful song
We barely understood

Now we are not afraid
Although we know there's much to fear
We were moving mountains long
Before we knew we could

There can be miracles, when you believe
Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles you can achieve
When you believe, somehow you will
You will when you believe

In this time of fear
When prayers so often prove in vain
Hope seems like the summer birds
So swiftly flown away

Yet now I'm standing here
My heart's so full I can't explain
Seeking faith and speaking words
I never thought I'd say

There can be miracles, when you believe
Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles you can achieve
When you believe, somehow you will
You will when you believe

They don't always happen when you ask
And it's easy to give in to your fears
But when your blinded by your pain
Can't see your way straight through the rain
A small but still, resilient voice
Says love is very near

There can be miracles
When you believe
Through hope is frail
It's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles you can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will
Somehow you will
You will when you believe

You will when you believe
Just believe, just believe, just believe
You will when you believe

Posted by outbackdrifter at January 7, 2009 12:37 AM ~ Hi Drifter Honey..... just been out to water. WA is having a heat wave & it's knocking everything for a sixer. Bit like having the rug pulled out from under you......

Lovey to read your post. She is a very blessed gypsy to journey with a passionate man who remains true to himself, dreams & beliefs.

I gift you my special song for travellers & gypsies......

Come Away With Me ~ Katie Melua

Come away with me in the night
Come away with me
And I will write you a song

Come away with me on a bus
Come away where they can't tempt us
With their lies

I want to walk with you
On a cloudy day
In fields where the yellow grass grows knee-high
So won't you try to come

Come away with me and we'll kiss
On a mountaintop
Come away with me
And I'll never stop loving you

And I want to wake up with the rain
Falling on a tin roof
While I'm safe there in your arms
So all I ask is for you
To come away with me in the night
Come away with me

Gentle Blessings. SF

To all never stop dreaming, never stop beleaving..................Becourse if you you truly beleave & have faith in your dreams it will come true, this world is full of endless possiblys, the only thing that limits it is your lack of belief in your self :))

The Call - Regina Spektor

It started out as a feeling
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word

And then that word grew louder and louder
Til it was a battle cry

I'll come back
When you call me
No need to say goodbye

Just because everything's changing
Doesn't mean it's never
Been this way before

All you can do is try to know
Who your friends are
As you head off to the war

Pick a star on the dark horizon
And follow the light

You'll come back
When it's over
No need to say good bye

You'll come back
When it's over
No need to say good bye..

Now we're back to the beginning
It's just a feeling and no one knows yet
But just because they can't feel it too
Doesn't mean that you have to forget

Let your memories grow stronger and stronger
Til they're before your eyes

You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say good bye

You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say good bye..

You have always been a good mate & you always takes me at face value this too also means alot to me :))

Profile snipping seems to be the new sport on the blogs over the last few months, which l find very sad .

To tell you the truth I don´t really care if ahappyending thinks lm real or not, l know who & what l am, in the end l will have the last laugh :)) & if she is having a go at me................. she is leaving someone else alone.

By the way l have found my kindred spirit & we will be hitting the track together on my Northen safari.........She is a fellow nomad, adventurer, best mate, equal, dark gipsy Princess & alot more then that :)))

Tied Up - Yello

Gulemo dilemma
Gulemo dilemma
Tie me up, the city heat
Bring the bell, go down the street
Tie me up to the babaumba beat
Try to beat, try to fight
Take me back into the ring tonight
Shake it up, beat down the beat
Shake it up to the babaumba heat
It's the african queen, we got the summer night grand
It's the african queen, the hottest lady in town
It's the african queen, who keeps me on my feet
It's the african queen, the babaumba beat

All you need is love
Take my heart
And hold me tight forever, forever

Bombo-yo, ko ko ko bombo ya
Bombo-yo, ko ko ko bombo ya
Bombo-yo, ko ko ko bombo ya

Ring the bell
Roll down the street
Tie me up into the city heat

Take me guys, keep up the beat
Bring the bell into the city heat

Tied up, tied up
Tied up, tied up
Tied up, tied up
Tied up, tied up
Tied up, tied up
Tied up, tied up
Tied up, tied up
Tied up, tied up

Gulemo dilemma
Got awaaaaaaaaaay
Got awaaaaaaaaaay
Got awaaaaaaaaaay (de-le-maaaaaa)

Take me guys, keep up the beat
Bring the bell into the city heat
Got awaaaaaaaaaay eko-ahll-ahhhhhhhhhhhhh

Ring the bell, roll down the street
Tie me up into the city heat

Take me guys, keep up the beat
Bring the bell into the city heat

Take it up, beat on the beat
Shake it up, the babaumba beat
Keep your cool, keep cool your mind
Shift the beat, you're one of a kind

Kick the gong, beef up the beat
Back to hell into the city heat
Hit the bell, roll down the street
Tie me up to the babaumba beat
Take the beat, take the fight
Take me back into the ring tonight

It's the african queen, we got the summer night grand
It's the african queen, the hottest lady in town
It's the african queen, who keeps me on my feet
It's the african queen, the babaumba beat

Thanks for the advice. I know my shortcomings. :0) Always try to save the world -meaning those people in need of help, or, the REST of the world outside a specific individual/an entity, but did not ask if those people I tried to save would like/need it. Alright, I will concentrate on saving myself now. :0)

And by the way, I have no intention to have a career of a sage, a wedding planner, or a cupid. :0) They are only my amateur hobbies. :0)

Thanks again for the sincere and helpful advice. Have you noticed we are kind of similar in liking to mind others business? :0)

Posted by ahappyending at January 5, 2009 9:09 PM ~ The song you listed is a lovely song. Louis Armstrong delivered it so beautifully... I look forward to you posting more of your songs. And the poems you list can also be lovely to read.

As a crone I offer you some feedback. If you're in training to be a sage, a wedding planner, or a cupid, part of the art is to let nature take it's own course. People work out what they desire by themself & between themselves. Not from some one else posting billboard signs or making innuendoes.

Be yourself, the lovely person you are. Post your messages of love & hope for smoother journeys for others but allow others to work out their differences.

Gentle Blessings. SF

Reading Drifters post I can't see where he said he didn't care about the world....... And the reason I can't see it is because that's not what he posted.

Gee... come on, post your songs, join in & enjoy the friendship. But please refrain from making statements where you are starting to frequently turn the original message in a post around due to your misunderstanding of other peoples messages.

I guess that we all have a different take on what sentiments make for a beautiful love song. And that's why millions more remain to be written. Everyone has a story...

I have many favourites but one has the ability to evoke tears, regardless of who I am with. I'll share the lyrics but it's the delivery by Steve Earle that makes this song live beyond it's very simple words. If you ever hear a live version you'll get to understand the story behind it.

I hope that at least my passionate comments will make one person search out the song and enjoy it as much as me!

I come to you with empty hands
I guess I just forgot again
I've only got my love to send
On Valentine's Day.

I ain't got a card to sign
Roses have been hard to find
I only hope that you'll be mine
On Valentine's Day

I know that I swore
That I wouldn't forget
I wrote it all down
I lost it I guess

There's so much I want to say
But all the words just slip away
The way you love me every day
Is Valentine's Day

If I could
I would deliver to you
Diamonds and gold
It's the least I can do

So if you'll take my IOU
I could make it up to you
Until then I hope my heart will do
For Valentine's Day

Ahhh!

Call My Name - Jennifer Cihi

There are days when those gray skies
Make you blue
Each forward step you take
You fall back by two
You've been hit by some hard knocks
You just can't stand
Feeling like Alice felt
In Wonderland
Let me the one to lend a hand
Call my name and I'll be there
There's nothing like the laughter that we share
Whenever you need someone
Or a shoulder to lean on
Call my name and I'll be there
And when life's going your way
Just like a breeze
It's a kite flying kind of day
Above the trees
Together, we'll be making memories
Call my name and I'll be there
There's nothing like the laughter that we share
Whenever you need someone
Or a shoulder to lean on
Call my name and I'll be there
As this world turns us around
We hold on to what we've found
A treasure we both need
I will go that extra mile
To give you back a certain smile
That you've given me, yeah
(Guitar solo)
I'll answer anytime and anywhere
Call my name and I'll be there
There's nothing like the laughter that we share
Whenever you need someone
Or a shoulder to lean on
Call my name and I'll be there
Call my name and I'll be there
Call my name
Call my name
And I'll be there

I would have to choose Seize The Day by Avenged Sevenfold. Plus there is a great guitar solo.

Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over

I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
But I'm too young to worry
These's streets we traveled on will undergo our same lost past

I found you here, now please just stay for a while
I can move on with you around
I hand you my mortal life, but will it be forever?
I'll do anything for a smile, holding you 'til our time is done
We both know the day will come, but I don't want to leave you

I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
But I'm too young to worry
(a melody, a memory, or just one PICTURE)

Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over

Newborn life replacing all of us, changing this fable we live in
No longer needed here so where do we go?
Will you take a journey tonight, follow me past the walls of death?
But girl, what if there is no eternal life?

I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
But I'm too young to worry
(a melody, a memory, or just one PICTURE)

Seize the day or die regretting the time You lost
It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over
Trials in life, questions of us existing here
Don't wanna die alone without you here
Please tell me what we have is real

(guitar solo)

So what if I never hold you, yeah, or kiss your lips again? Whooooah
So I never want to leave you and the memories OF us to see
I beg don't leave me

Seize the day or die regretting the time You lost
It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over
Trials in life, questions of us existing here
Don't wanna die alone without you here
Please tell me what we have is real

(Silence, you lost me-- no chance for one more day)
(Silence, you lost me-- no chance for one more day)
(I stand here alone
Falling away from you, no chance to get back home) x2

(Silence, you lost me-- no chance for one more day)
(Silence, you lost me-- no chance for one more day)

Posted by: samb319 at January 5, 2009 6:39 AM

This is a long piece so just a little of the words....quite different but some good imagery.....

On The Wings Of Dark Angel ~ Castrum

Silent flow my tears
On face of ashen time
'Cause you're leaving on the paths
Of happiness and gentle innocence
And I abide to stand
As statue of past
Between foreign views
And pale forgotten avidity
Don't be frightened to tread
Through gloomy forests
'Cause once in them I've slept
Prosperity and shine I've dreamed

...with ashes strewed paths vanish in infinity
Petals of once red now black rose are dying
On Earth in which darkness I am born
To obey these weeping waves of darkly seas
To attend howling of wolves in mist
And whispers of blackwinds from Carpatia.

But deep inside myself I knew
That my instant will not come
'Cause I am the silhouette of sorrow
And reality which disappears within night
Don't be afraid of ominous shadows
'Cause once with them I have danced

Have a great week. SF

Posted by outbackdrifter at January 4, 2009 9:29 AM ~ Hey Drifter Honey what a lovely message for all the ladies.... thank you kind sir :))))

I would have posted my thanks earlier but I've been a bit tied up today..... (your post seems to have caught my disease for tongues)..... this can be a challenge but hang in there :))))

I'm sorry but I had a poke around your profile as I thought you may have moved on from your current job.... I don't wish to make a but of jokes but I was confused as I thought you worked outside all day in the outback.... yep on close inspection my check confirmed all is still looking good in your part of the world..... :)))) I see ya still out looking after our parks & any passing strangers in need. I suppose you wouldn't get many passing travelers with the current temps.....

Just my personal thoughts, but maybe some night jaunts might land you a "night gypsy".... you know, take the truck out on the back tracks & flick on the spot light.... you might catch one in the beam or she might just appear on your radar!....

I sincerely wish you good luck & keep on tracking :))))

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,

And summer's lease hath all too short a date:Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,And often is his gold complexion dimmed,

And every fair from fair sometime declines, By chance, or nature's changing course untrimmed:

But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st,
Nor shall death brag thou wander'st in his shade,

When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st,
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Syreeta Wright - Harmour Love

It's a bright
It's a light
It's a so outta sight
It's a feeling all right, morning noon or night

It's the best thing in life that you don't have to buy
It's a funny funny feeling down in your heart

It's a neat
It's a treat
It's a something that's sweet
It's the one thing in life that will never be beat
It's a once it's inside you it loses the key
That's that funny funny feeling down in your heart

It's a lu uh uh uh ove
It's a lu uh uh uh ove
It's a lu uh uh uh ove
It's the funny funny feeling down in your heart

Let it in
To your heart and you'll feel this funny feeling
Let it in
And together we'll join in harmour love

Let it in
For the beat of your heart will keep the rhythm
Let it smile
On the outside and sing in harmour love

`Aaw, Joe!'

It's a pin
It's a friend
It's a how have you been
It's a `I'm looking forward to seeing you again'

It's a laugh
It's a grin
It's a let it begin
With that funny funny feeling down in your heart

It's a walk through the park
It's a kiss in the dark
It's a vow made by two that they never will part
It's a spark that you feel from the moment it starts
Known as that funny funny feeling down in your heart

It's a lu uh uh uh ove
lu uh uh uh ove (harmony)
It's a lu uh uh uh ove
It's a lu uh uh uh ove
It's that funny funny feeling down in your heart

Let it in
To your heart and you'll feel this funny feeling
Let it in
And together we'll join in harmour love

Let it in
For the beat of your heart will keep the rhythm
Let it smile
On the outside and sing in harmour love

:0) Thanks. It is just that, from my own point of view, life is much sweeter and rosier if one can have the luck of walking ones life journey being supported by a partner and vice versa. I hope you will have the luck, too. But if you can excuse my curiosity, allow me to say this to you:

Are you for real? :0) It looks like you have stuck in front of the computer with internet instead of fulfilling your dream of wandering in the bush. :0) Wouldnt it be more possible to find your gypsy princess in the real bush/real outback, instead of sitting in front of the computer? Unless you mean a gypsy princess in your life journey instead of your bush/outback wander land? :0) Your blogging shows that you have all the passion, but it seems, from my own observation, that you talk the talk more instead of walking more the walk. :0)

Either way, I hope you will have good luck, but being real to yourself including in a media to promote yourself consistently, ie your profile and your blogging, may hold the key for getting nearer to your happiness?

But ignore my post, if you think differently (I know I love to mind others business, but hopefully this is my last time here in the blog :0)). And like I just said, either way, I wish you best of luck, sincerely. :0)

This is my second go at posting this, to the ladies of the blog l hope you find the hero in your life you are looking for ( thats of course if you are looking for a hero ) & to the men dont ever think that we dont need to see a hero in the partners we are looking for in life
& guess what they can turn up from the places we least exspect :))

I Need A Hero lyrics - Bonnie Tyler

Where have all good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Where’s the street-wise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?

Isn’t there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and turn and dream of what I need

I need a hero
I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the end of the night
He’s gotta be strong
And he’s gotta be fast
And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the morning light
He’s gotta be sure
And it’s gotta be soon
And he’s gotta be larger than life

Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There’s someone reaching back for me

Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
It’s gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet

I need a hero
I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the end of the night
He’s gotta be strong
And he’s gotta be fast
And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the morning light
He’s gotta be sure
And it’s gotta be soon
And he’s gotta be larger than life

Up Where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I would swear that there’s someone somewhere
Watching me
Through the wind and the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
I can feel his approach
Like a fire in my blood

I need a hero
I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the end of the night
He’s gotta be strong
And he’s gotta be fast
And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the morning light
He’s gotta be sure
And it’s gotta be soon
And he’s gotta be larger than life

The Verve ~ Bittersweet Symphony

'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life
Trying to make ends meet
You're a slave to money then you die
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places
where all the veins meet yeah

No change, I can't change
I can't change, I can't change
But I'm here in my mind
I am here in my mind
But I'm a million different people
from one day to the next
I can't change my mind
No, no, no, no, no, no, no,no,no,no,no,no

Well I never pray
But tonight I'm on my knees yeah
I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah
I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind, I feel free now
But the airways are clean and there's nobody singing to me now

No change, I can't change
I can't change, I can't change
But I'm here in my mind
I am here in my mind
And I'm a million different people
from one day to the next
I can't change my mind
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
I can't change
I can't change it

'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life
Trying to make ends meet
Trying to find some money then you die
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places
where all the veins meet yeah

You know I can't change, I can't change
I can't change, I can't change
But I'm here in my mind
I am here in my mind
And I'm a million different people
from one day to the next
I can't change my mind
No, no, no, no, no

I can't change my mind
no, no, no, no, no,
I can't change
Can't change my body,
no, no, no

I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
Been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
That you've ever been down
That you've ever been down

It Can't Rain All the Time ~ Jane Siberry

We walked the narrow path,
beneath the smoking skies.
Sometimes you can barely tell the difference
between darkness and light.
Do you have faith
in what we believe?
The truest test is when we cannot,
when we cannot see.

I hear pounding feet in the,
in the streets below, and the,
and the women crying and the,
and the children know that there,
that there's something wrong,
and it's hard to believe that love will prevail.

Oh it won't rain all the time.
The sky won't fall forever.
And though the night seems long,
your tears won't fall forever.

Oh, when I'm lonely,
I lie awake at night
and I wish you were here.
I miss you.
Can you tell me
is there something more to believe in?
Or is this all there is?

In the pounding feet, in the,
In the streets below, and the,
And the window breaks and,
And a woman falls, there's,
There's something wrong, it's,
It's so hard to believe that love will prevail.

Oh it won't rain all the time.
The sky won't fall forever.
And though the night seems long,
your tears won't fall, your tears won't fall, your tears won't fall
forever.

Last night I had a dream.
You came into my room,
you took me into your arms.
Whispering and kissing me,
and telling me to still believe.
But then the emptiness of a burning sea against which we see
our darkest of sadness.

Until I felt safe and warm.
I fell asleep in your arms.
When I awoke I cried again for you were gone.
Oh, can you hear me?

It won't rain all the time.
The sky won't fall forever.
And though the night seems long,
your tears won't fall forever.
It won't rain all the time
The sky won't fall forever.
And though the night seems long,
your tears won't fall, your tears won't fall,
your tears won't fall
forever.

Been one of those amazing days where life can change during a conversation..... before it was eyes wide shut.... now life holds unlimited promise.....

This band is wicked & the intro to this piece is moving.....

The Spirit Carries On ~ Music by Dream Theater ~ Lyrics by John Petrucci

Nicholas:
Where did we come from?
Why are we here?
Where do we go when we die?
What lies beyond
And what lay before?
Is anything certain in life?

They say, life is too short,
The here and the now
And youre only given one shot
But could there be more,
Have I lived before,
Or could this be all that weve got?

If I die tomorrow
Id be alright
Because I believe
That after were gone
The spirit carries on

I used to be frightened of dying
I used to think death was the end
But that was before
Im not scared anymore
I know that my soul will transcend

I may never find all the answers
I may never understand why
I may never prove
What I know to be true
But I know that I still have to try

If I die tomorrow
Id be alright
Because I believe
That after were gone
The spirit carries on

Victoria:
Move on, be brave
Dont weep at my grave
Because I am no longer here
But please never let
Your memory of me disappear

Nicholas:
Safe in the light that surrounds me
Free of the fear and the pain
My questioning mind
Has helped me to find
The meaning in my life again
Victorias real
I finally feel
At peace with the girl in my dreams
And now that Im here
Its perfectly clear
I found out what all of this means

If I die tomorrow
Id be allright
Because I believe
That after were gone
The spirit carries on

Hypnotherapist:
You are once again surrounded by a brilliant white light. Allow the light to lead you away from your past and into this lifetime. As the light dissipates you will slowly fade back into consciousness remembering all you have learned. When I tell you to open your eyes you will return to the present, feeling peaceful and refreshed. Open your eyes, nicholas.

Gentle Blessings. SF......

Holiday over ... a good strong beat will get the blood moving.

Ash Grunwald - Skywriter

He's got the bolt cutters in his hand,
The smell of aviation fuel, spurs a romantic plan.
There's no other way, Baby, to make you understand,
I don't want to be no hero, just want to be your man.

Hijack skywriter.
Hijack skywriter.
I'm gonna hijack a skywriter.
Baby, don't you know my name.

I been maintenancin' some of these babies for awhile.
Learned a few tricks of the trade before they put me out.
And I know you think that I'm gonna die.
You don't know the real me, this is my style.

Hijack skywriter.
I'm gonna hijack a skywriter.
Hijack skywriter.
Baby, don't you know my name.

When I get to customs, they just wave me through.
And the wind is like Listerine on an open wound.
If there was a booze bus on the runway, I'd blow .12.
I'm going to head out to the stars with something to prove.

Hijack skywriter.
I'm gonna hijack a skywriter.
Hijack skywriter.
Baby, don't you know my name.

To say my weekend has been interesting so far, would be a bit off an under statement, let just say it will never be the same again :))

this is for you :)))))))

Friends will be friends - Queen

Friends will be friends
Friends will be friends

Friends will be friends
Friends will be friends
Friends will be friends

Another red letter day
So the pound has dropped and the children are creating
The other half ran away
Taking all the cash and leaving you with the lumber
Got a pain in the chest
Doctors on strike what you need is a rest

It's not easy love, but you've got friends you can trust
Friends will be friends
When you're in need of love they give you care and attention
Friends will be friends
When you're through with life and all hope is lost
Hold out your hand 'cos friends will be friends - right till the end

Now it's a beautiful day
The postman delivered a letter from your lover
Only a 'phone call away
You tried to track him down but somebody stole his number
As a matter of fact
You're getting used to life without him in your way

It's so easy now, 'cos you got friends you can trust
Friends will be friends
When you're in need of love they give you care and attention
Friends will be friends
When you're through with life and all hope is lost
Hold out your hand 'cos friends will be friends - right till the end

It's so easy now, 'cos you got friends you can trust
Friends will be friends
When you're in need of love they give you care and attention
Friends will be friends
When you're through with life and all hope is lost
Hold out your hand 'cos right till the end - friends will be friends
Yeah yeah

Such a languid arvo over here in WA.... all across the country some are probably having a power nap so they can make it through the night!.... others just want to get out in the sun & play...bring out the supersoakers & the ice blocks & keep the pace sliding along..... hmmmm :))))

Another different one for me....seem to be moving into a different place with my tastes....

Lateralus ~ Tool

Black then white are all I see in my infancy.
Beckons me to look thru to these infinite possibilities.
As below, so above and beyond, I imagine
Drawn outside the lines of reason.
Push the envelope. Watch it bend.

Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.
Withering my intuition leaving opportunities behind.
Feed my will to feel this moment urging me to cross the line.
Reaching out to embrace the random.
Reaching out to embrace whatever may come.

I embrace my desire to
I embrace my desire to
Feel the rhythm, to feel connected enough to step aside and weep like a widow
To feel inspired to fathom the power, to witness the beauty,
To bathe in the fountain,
To swing on the spiral
To swing on the spiral
To swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human.

With my feet upon the ground I move myself between the sounds and open wide to
Suck it in.
I feel it move across my skin.
Im reaching up and reaching out. Im reaching for the random or what ever will
Bewilder me.
What ever will bewilder me.
And following our will and wind we may just go where no ones been.
Well ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no ones been.
Spiral out. keep going.
Spiral out. keep going.
Spiral out. keep going.
Spiral out. keep going.
Spiral out. keep going.

Hope the rest of your weekend is hot & wicked.... :)))) SF

Send Me An Angel - Scorpions

The wise man said just walk this way
To the dawn of the light
The wind will blow into your face
As the years pass you by
Hear this voice from deep inside
Its the call of your heart
Close your eyes and your will find
The passage out of the dark

Here I am
Will you send me an angel
Here I am
In the land of the morning star

The wise man said just find your place
In the eye of the storm
Seek the roses along the way
Just beware of the thorns

Here I am
Will you send me an angel
Here I am
In the land of the morning star

The wise man said just raise your hand
And reach out for the spell
Find the door to the promised land
Just believe in yourself
Hear this voice from deep inside
Its the call of your heart
Close your eyes and your will find
The way out of the dark

Here I am
Will you send me an angel
Here I am
In the land of the morning star
Here I am
Will you send me an angel
Here I am
In the land of the morning star

if any of you get a chance check out the music video of this song............all l can say is WOW :)))

Yes l know this is more then two but l have been digging into my music collection

Thank You For Loving Me - Bon Jovi

It's hard for me to say the things
I want to say sometimes
There's no one here but you and me
And that broken old street light
Lock the doors
We'll leave the world outside
All I've got to give to you
Are these five words tonight

Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes
When I couldn't see
For parting my lips
When I couldn't breathe
Thank you for loving me
Thank you for loving me

I never knew I had a dream
Until that dream was you
When I look into your eyes
The sky's a different blue
Cross my heart
I wear no disguise
If I tried, you'd make believe
That you believed my lies

Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes
When I couldn't see
For parting my lips
When I couldn't breathe
Thank you for loving me

You pick me up when I fall down
You ring the bell before they count me out
If I was drowning you would part the sea
And risk your own life to rescue me

Lock the doors
We'll leave the world outside
All I've got to give to you
Are these five words tonight

Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes
When I couldn't see
You parted my lips
When I couldn't breathe
Thank you for loving me

When I couldn't fly
Oh, you gave me wings
You parted my lips
When I couldn't breathe
Thank you for loving me

Breathless - The Corrs

Go on, go on
Leave me breathless
Come on

The daylight's fading slowly
The time with you is standing still
I'm waiting for you only
The slightest touch and I feel weak

I cannot lie
From you I can not hide
I'm losing will to try
Can't hide it
Can't fight it

So go on, go on
Come on leave me breathless
Tempt me, tease me
'Till I can't deny this
Loving feeling
Let me long for your kiss
Go on, go on
Yeah come on

And if there's no tomorrow
And all we have is here and now
I'm happy just to have you
You're all the love I need somehow

It's like a dream
Although I'm not asleep
I never want to wake up
Don't lose it
Don't leave it

So go on, go on
Come on leave me breathless
Tempt me, tease me
'Till I can't deny this
Loving feeling
Let me long for your kiss
Go on, go on
Yeah come on

And I can't lie
From you I can not hide
I've lost my will to try
Can't hide it
Can't fight it

So go on, go on
Come on leave me breathless
Tempt me, tease me
'Till I can't deny this
Loving feeling
Make me long for your kiss

Go on, go on
Come on leave me breathless
Go on, go on
Come on leave me breathless
Go on, go on
Come on leave me breathless
Go on, go on

Well l spent a great day at work, lm the only one on at the moment, so l spent the day routing out new signs in the shed.

I have the local radio station on playing loudly in the background so l could hear it over the router & for once it was not trying to beat me to death with country & western music ( dont get me wrong l like C&W but not 24/7 ), started with 60s early in the morning & then slow works it way to the 90s when l knocked off.

It was like reliving my whole life through music, l listened to song that were real markers & milestone to changing pionts in my life, two songs really hit home with me on a personal level :))

Such a good day to lay back & chill... went searching for something different & found this one.... seems to fit the hot sweaty weather we're now into :))))

Bebel Gilberto ~ Samba Da Bencao

E melhor ser alegre que ser triste
Alegria e a melhor coisa que existe
E assim como a luz no coracao
Mas pra fazer um samba com beleza
E preciso um bocado de tristeza
Senao nao se faz um samba nao

Fazer samba nao e contar piada
E quem faz samba assim nao e de nada
O bom samba e uma forma de oracao
Porque o samba e a tristeza que balanca
E a tristeza tem sempre uma esperanca
De um dia nao ser mais triste nao

Poe um pouco de amor numa cadencia
E vai ver que ninguem no mundo vence
A beleza que tem um samba nao
Porque o samba nasceu la na Bahia
E se hoje ele e branco na poesia
Ele e negro demais no coracao

Translation:
Samba Of the Blessing

It's better to be happy than sad
Happiness is the best thing there is
It is like a light in the heart
But to make a samba with beauty
It's needed a bit of sadness
If not the samba can't be made

To make a samba is not like telling a joke
And who makes samba like this is worth nothing
The good samba is a kind of prayer
Because samba is the sadness that sways
And sadness is always hopeful
Of one day not being sad any more

Put a little love in the cadence
And you'll see that in this world nobody wins
The beauty that a samba have
Because samba was born in Bahia
And if today it is white in it's poetry
It is very black in it's heart

Happy New Year.... Have ya already broken any of your New Year resolutions? :))))

Soar ~ Christina Aguilera

When they push when they pull, tell me can you hold on
When they say you should change can you lift your head high and stay strong
Will you give up, give in, when your heart's crying out that it's wrong
Will you love you for you at the end of it all

Now, in life, there's gonna be times when you're feeling low
And in your mind insecurity seems to take control
We start to look outside ourselves for acceptance and approval
We keep forgettin' that the one thing we should know is

Don't be scared to fly alone, find a path that is your own
Love will open every door it's in your hands, the world is yours
Don't hold back and always know, all the answers will unfold
What are you waiting for, spread your wings and soar

The boy who wonders is he good enough for them
He's tryin' to please 'em all but he just never seems to fit in
Then there's the girl who thinks she'll never ever be good enough for him
She's tryin' to change and that's a game she'll never win

In life there's gonna be times when you're feeling low
And in your mind insecurity seems to take control
We start to look outside ourselves for acceptance and approval
We keep forgettin' that the one thing we should know is

Don't be scared to fly alone, find a path that is your own
Love will open every door it's in your hands, the world is yours
Don't hold back and always know, all the answers will unfold
What are you waiting for, spread your wings and soar

In the mirror is where she comes face to face with her fears
Her own reflection, now foreign to her after all these years
All of her life she has tried to be something besides herself
Now time has passed and she's ended up someone else with regret

What is it in us that makes us feel the need to keep pretending
Gotta let ourselves be

Don't be scared to fly alone, find a path that is your own
Love will open every door it's in your hands, the world is yours
Don't hold back and always know, all the answers will unfold
What are you waiting for, spread your wings and soar

Don't be scared to fly alone, find a path that is your own
Love will open every door it's in your hands, the world is yours
Don't hold back and always know, all the answers will unfold
What are you waiting for, spread your wings and soar

Don't wait, no more
Spread your wings and soar
Don't wait, no more
You can soar

So What you waiting for?
Don't wait...
Whoa...
Don't wait, no more...
Don't wait...
Don't Wait...

we have been using musical stimuli at our neurotrauma centre for comatose patients and it seems to be working.

Sorry I misspelt Potbelleez in my last post..... another of their songs that I've had going for a couple of days.....

Don't Hold Back

dont hold back
is there anybody out there?
feeling something

engage me, let me breathe the courage of your actions
don't hold back make it before the good
the truth is, I am not your cure but I can help you
find a way to reconcile the dark

don't hold back
is there anybody out there?
feeling something

don't hold back
is there anybody out there?
feeling something

stay right there, 'cos I want to watch you taking off your morning,
and putting on that midnight smile for me
your chasing, the slow motion belief that you are dreaming,
and running from the things that make you feel

don't hold back
is there anybody out there?
feeling something

dont hold back
is there anybody out there?
feeling something!

Hope you have a ripsnorter of a New Years Eve. Go out in style or is it bring it in with class. SF X X X

PS. If this turns out in tongues so be it..... the technical fairy is doing her thingo or is it all the fertile thingo happening in this swamp I live in... hmmmm :))))
