"Brink of Destruction" - Sarah McLachlan

 

http://www.giantpandaglobal.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/2014-05-19-Zoo-Atlanta-Lun-Lun-Mei-Lun-Mei-Huan-024-620x413.jpg

It would be if it could be

So wonderful if we succeed 

Your warmth and your words

Found a place in my world

And breathed new life in

 

We come from the brink of destruction

We gathered ourselves from the floor

We tried and we suffered

And finally recovered

And found a new way to live

We’re two side by side with impossible dreams

Taking a chance to let love in

 

Storms come, I learned to be strong

I don’t lean on anyone else

And now I am so content here in your arms

I don’t want to be anywhere else

With you I’m home

With you I’m home

 

I hold fast to my destination

I know that the road will be long

We light up the sky

Let the beauty define us 

And give, give it all we got

We’re two side by side with impossible dreams

Taking a chance to let love in

 

Storms come, I learned to be strong

I don’t lean on anyone else

And I’m so content here in your arms

I don’t want to be anywhere else

With you I’m home

With you I’m home

Sarah Mclachlan - Lost

 

 

By the shadows of the night I go

I move away from the crowded room

That sea of shallow faces masked in warm regret

They don't know how to feel, they don't know what is lost

 

Lost in the darkness of a land

Where all the hope that's offered is

Memories of being taken by the hand

And we are led into the sun

But I don't have a hold on what is real

Though we can only try

What is there to give or to believe

 

I want it all to go away, I want to be alone

Sympathy's wasted on my hollow shell

I feel there's nothing left to fight for

No reason for a cause

And I can't hear your voice, and I can't feel you near

 

Lost in the darkness of a land

Where all the hope that's offered is

Memories of being taken by the hand

And we are led into the sun

But I don't have a hold on what is real

Though we can only try

What is there to give or to believe

 

I wanted a change, knowing all I could do was try

I was looking for someone...

 

 

The lilitng keyboard shift between 1:51-2:38 is goosebumps all the way.....  :smitten:

My favorite Sarah's song . Probably one of most beautiful songs out there....

Kitchens of Distinction - Smiling

 

 

 

He's not falling, simply waiting,

Fading at the edges.

Sitting back, thinking that there's little point in moving.

 

He smiles, says his stars are friendly,

Anything can be done.

"Shall we get very drunk?"

He says "I stay alive. It's the best thing,

The only thing I know."

 

She's not talking, easy dreaming

All that life away.

She gets laughing, missed the light,

No regrets today.

 

She looks up, another sunset,

"Was it very very good?"

"Shall we get really high?"

She says, "I stay alive. It's the best thing

The only thing I know."

 

She says, "Hold me, hold me hard,

Hold me, hold me harder.

Stop me thinking about myself.

Stop me hoping for more than I am."

 

She says, "Why do I want more than good looks?

Why do I want more than great books?

Is that all there is?"

She smiles and stays alive.

It's the best thing, the only thing she knows.

 

They're together,

Simply dancing all the nights away.

There's the window

Let's wait up for this precious dawn.

 

He smiles, tells her she looks lovely,

Anything can be done.

She looks up and laughs.

He says "I stay alive.

It's the best thing, the only thing I can give you."

 

I was brought up with higher expectations.

I was brought up that hell's a hippies way to go.

He says "Hold me..."

Suzanne Vega - Blood Makes Noise

 

 

 

I'd like to help you doctor

Yes I really really would

But the din in my head

It's too much and it's no good

I'm standing in a windy tunnel

Shouting through the roar

And I'd like to give the information

You're asking for

 

But blood makes noise

It's a ringing in my ear

Blood makes noise

And I can't really hear you

In the thickening of fear

 

I think that you might want to know

The details and the facts

But there's something in my blood

Denies the memory of the acts

So just forget it Doc.

I think it's really

Cool that you're concerned

But we'll have to try again

After the silence has returned

 

Cause blood makes noise

It's a ringing in my ear

Blood makes noise

And I can't really hear you

In the thickening of fear

 

Blood makes noise...

Suzanne Vega - Rosemary

 

 

Do you remember how you walked with me

down the street into the square?

How the women selling rosemary

pressed the branches to your chest,

promised luck and all the rest,

and put their fingers in your hair?

I had met you just the day before,

like an accident of fate,

in the window there behind your door.

How I wanted to break in

to that room beneath your skin,

but all that would have to wait.

In the Carmen of the Martyrs,

with the statues in the courtyard

whose heads and hands were taken,

in the burden of the sun;

I had come to meet you

with a question in my footsteps.

I was going up the hillside

and the journey just begun.

My sister says she never dreams at night

there are days when I know why;

those possibilities within her sight,

with no way of coming true.

Some things just don't get through

into this world , although they try.

In the Carmen of the Martyrs

with the statues in the courtyard

whose heads and hands were taken,

in the burden of the sun;

I had come to meet you

with a question in my footsteps.

I was going up the hillside

and the journey just begun.

All I know of you

is in my memory

All I ask is you

Remember me.

The Cure - Boys Don't Cry

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryImbOTDXe8

 

I would say I'm sorry

If I thought that it would change your mind

But I know that this time

I've said too much

Been too unkind

 

I try to laugh about it

Cover it all up with lies

I try and

Laugh about it

Hiding the tears in my eyes

'cause boys don't cry

Boys don't cry

 

I would break down at your feet

And beg forgiveness

Plead with you

But I know that

It's too late

And now there's nothing I can do

 

So I try to laugh about it

Cover it all up with lies

I try to

laugh about it

Hiding the tears in my eyes

'cause boys don't cry

 

I would tell you

That I loved you

If I thought that you would stay

But I know that it's no use

That you've already

Gone away

 

Misjudged your limits

Pushed you too far

Took you for granted

I thought that you needed me more

 

Now I would do most anything

To get you back by my side

But I just

Keep on laughing

Hiding the tears in my eyes

'cause boys don't cry

Boys don't cry

Boys don't cry

Edie Brickell & the New Bohemians -  Air of December

 

 

"Air Of December"

 

Thursday afternoon you cast a shadow 'round my room

The breeze moved the curtains and lifted my perfume into the air

And danced with lazy curls in your hair

the sun was in the sky like pink champagne

And it glistened in your eyes all day

 

I remember you

Put a chill across my face

Like the air of December

I swear I remember it that way

I swear I remember it that way

I swear I remember it

Where are you now?

Where are you now?

Where are you?

 

You stood by the lake

I wanted to take you for granted

The grass was thin and high

The water mirrored tiny sparkles to the sky

 

I remember you

Put a chill across my face

Like the air of December

I swear I remember it that way

I swear I remember it that way

I swear I remember it

Where are you now?

Where are you now?

Where are you?

 

In the by-myself mornings the birds windchime

The treelimbs crackle and the sunshine climbs up the sky

Like pink champagne that glistened in your eyes all day

 

I remember you

Put a chill across my face

Like the air of December

I swear I remember it that way

I swear I remember it that way

I swear I remember it

Where are you now?

Where are you now?

Where are you?

Sarah Mclachlan - Path of Thorns (Terms) -

 

 

 

I knew you wanted to tell me

In your voice there was something wrong

But if you would turn your face away from me

You cannot tell me you're so strong

Just let me ask of you one small thing

As we have shared so many tears

With fervor our dreams we planned a whole life long

Now are scattered on the wind...

 

[CHORUS]

 

In the terms of endearment

In the terms of the life that you love

In the terms of the years that pass you by

In the terms of the reasons why

 

Through the years I've grown to love you

Though your commitment to most would offend

But I stuck by you holding on with my foolish pride

Waiting for you to give in...

You never really tried or so it seems

I've had more than myself to blame

I've had enough of trying everything

And this time it is the end...

 

[CHORUS]

 

There's no more coming back this way

The path is overgrown and strewn with thorns

They've torn the life-blood from your naked eyes

Cast aside to be forlorn...

 

[CHORUS]

 

Funny, how it seems that all I've tried to do

Seemed to make no difference to you at all...

"Heaven" - Emeli Sande

 

Will you recognize me

In the flashing light

I try to keep my heartbeat

But I can't get it right

 

Will you recognize me

When I'm lying on my bed

Something's gone inside me

And I can't get it back

 

[CHORUS:]

Oh heaven, oh heaven

I wait with good intentions

But the day it always lasts too long

Then I'm gone

(X2)

 

Then I'm gone

Then I'm gone

Then I'm gone

 

Will you recognize me

When I'm stealing from the poor

You're not gonna like me

I'm nothing like before

 

Will you recognize me

When I lose another friend

Will you learn to leave me

Or give me one more try again

 

[CHORUS]

 

Then I'm gone

Then I'm gone

Then I'm gone

 

Oh heaven, oh heaven

I wait with good intentions

 

You say that you're away

I try but always break

Cause the day always lasts too long

Then I'm gone

 

Then I'm gone

Then I'm gone

Then I'm gone

Then I'm gone

Counting Crows - Round Here

 

 

Step out the front door like a ghost

into the fog where no one notices

the contrast of white on white.

And in between the moon and you

the angels get a better view

of the crumbling difference between wrong and right.

I walk in the air between the rain

through myself and back again

Where? I don't know

Maria says she's dying

through the door I hear her crying

Why? I don't know

 

[Chorus:]

Round here we always stand up straight

Round here something radiates

 

Maria came from Nashville with a suitcase in her hand

she said she'd like to meet a boy who looks like Elvis

and she walks along the edge of where the ocean meets the land

just like she's walking on a wire in the circus

she parks her car outside of my house

and takes her clothes off

says she's close to understanding Jesus

and she knows she's more than just a little misunderstood

she has trouble acting normal when she's nervous

 

[Chorus:]

Round here we're carving out our names

Round here we all look the same

Round here we talk just like lions

But we sacrifice like lambs

Round here she's slipping through my hands

 

Sleeping children better run like the wind

out of the lightning dream

Mama's little baby better get herself in

out of the lightning

 

She says, "It's only in my head."

She says, "Shh I know it's only in my head."

But the girl on car in the parking lot

says, "Man you should try to take a shot.

can't you see my walls are crumbling?"

Then she looks up at the building

and says she's thinking of jumping

She says she's tired of life

she must be tired of something

 

[Chorus:]

Round here she's always on my mind

Round here hey man got lots of time

Round here we're never sent to bed early

And nobody makes us wait

Round here we stay up very, very, very, very late

 

I can't see nothin', nothin', round here.

You catch me if I'm falling.

You catch me if I'm falling.

You catch me cause I'm falling down on you

I said, "I'm under the gun..."

Round here.

Oh, man, I said, "I'm under the gun..."

Round here.

And I can't see nothin', nothin'.

Round here.

"Bluebird Of Happiness" - Mojave 3

 

Gotta find a way to get home strong

Gotta find a way back home

Gotta find a light to guide me along

Gotta find a way back home

 

Running for your life won't get you so far

Running for your life so far

Gotta find a road to bring me home soon

Gotta find a way back home

The loving in your eye that holds you alive

Gotta find a way back home

 

Gotta find a way to get home strong

Gotta find a way back home

Gotta find a road that brings me back soon

Gotta find a way back home

Gotta find a way to get home strong

Gotta find a way back home

 

I saw you turning

Big eyes burning on your way

Nothing out there

And time will tell you what you own

 

Never wanted to feel this pain

Never wanted to feel so sad

Never wanted to feel this pain

Today

 

Never wanted to feel this pain

Never wanted to feel so sad

Never wanted to feel this way, no

Today

 

Never wanted to feel this pain

Never wanted to feel this pain

 

Gotta find a way to get home strong

Gotta find a way back home

Gotta find a light to guide me along

Gotta find a way back home

 

Never wanted to feel this pain

Never wanted to feel this pain

 

Gotta find a road that brings me back slow

Gotta find a way back home

The loving in your eye that holds you alive

Gotta find a way back home

 

Gotta find a way to get home strong

Gotta find a way back home

Gotta find a road that brings me back slow

Gotta find a way back home

 

Gotta find a way to get home strong

Gotta find a way back home

Gotta find a way back home

Gotta find a way back home

Matthew Ryan - Guilty

 

 

 

Here comes the razor of doubt, here comes the fallin' out

Here comes the wave and the turn, here comes the crash the burn

Here comes I'm sick of crying, here comes man I quit trying

Here come I hate you and I'm giving back all that you gave to me

 

Here comes the baited hook, here comes the bones you shook

Here comes the dread and denial, here's where you've been all the while

Here comes I'm sick of groveling

Here comes the only thing that ever happens

Here comes I hate you and I'm giving back all that you gave to me

 

'Cause lately I've been dreaming of angels and cranes

In some kind of purgatory dodging the CIA

With a head full of soot, waving black flags

Throwing off the bodies just to cut down on the drag

 

Take 'em to the desert or to a dried up well

Tell 'em they're in Heaven and mutter "Welcome to hell"

I've been guilty, guilty, I've been guilty

Guilty of all these things, of all these things

 

Here comes the razor of doubt, here comes the falling out

Here comes the wave and the turn, here comes the crash and burn

Here comes I'm sick of groveling

Here comes the only thing that ever happened

Here comes I hate you and I'm burning all that you gave to me

 

'Cause lately I've been dreaming of angels and cranes

In some kind of purgatory dodging the CIA

With a head full of soot, waving black flags

Throwing off the bodies just to cut down on the drag

 

Take 'em to the desert or to a dried up well

Tell 'em they're in Heaven and mutter "Welcome to hell"

I've been guilty, guilty, I've been guilty

Guilty of all these things, of all these things

 

I need someone to save me, someone to save me

I need someone to save me, someone to save me

I need someone to save me, someone to save me

I need someone to say to me everything is gonna be alright

"Night Ride Across The Caucasus"

Loreena McKennitt

https://youtu.be/mCjxZHGHL4Y

 

Ride on through the night, ride on

Ride on through the night, ride on

 

There are visions, there are memories

There are echoes of thundering hooves

There are fires, there is laughter

There's the sound of a thousand doves

 

Ride on through the night, ride on

Ride on through the night, ride on

 

In the velvet of the darkness

By the silhouette of silent trees

They are watching, they are waiting

They are witnessing life's mysteries

 

Ride on through the night, ride on

Ride on through the night, ride on

 

Cascading stars on the slumbering hills

They are dancing as far as the sea

Riding over land, you can feel its gentle hand

Leading on to its destiny

 

Ride on through the night, ride on

Ride on through the night, ride on

 

Take me with you on this journey

Where the boundaries of time are now tossed

In cathedrals of the forest

In the words of the tongues now lost

 

Find the answers, ask the questions

Find the roots of an ancient tree

Take me dancing, take me singing

I'll ride on till the moon meets the sea

 

Ride on through the night, ride on

Ride on through the night, ride on

Ride on through the night, ride on

Ride on through the night, ride on

Tori Amos - Winter

 

 

Snow can wait

I forgot my mittens

Wipe my nose

Get my new boots on

I get a little warm in my heart

When I think of winter

I put my hand in my father's glove

I run off

Where the drifts get deeper

Sleeping beauty trips me with a frown

I hear a voice

"Your must learn to stand up for yourself

Cause I can't always be around"

He says

When you gonna make up your mind

When you gonna love you as much as I do

When you gonna make up your mind

Cause things are gonna change so fast

All the white horses are still in bed

I tell you that I'll always want you near

You say that things change my dear

 

Boys get discovered as winter melts

Flowers competing for the sun

Years go by and I'm here still waiting Withering where some snowman was

Mirror mirror where's the crystal palace

But I only can see myself

Skating around the truth who I am

But I know dad the ice is getting thin

 

When you gonna make up your mind

When you gonna love you as much as I do

When you gonna make up your mind

Cause things are gonna change so fast

All the white horses are still in bed

I tell you that I'll always want you near

You say that things change my dear

 

Hair is grey

And the fires are burning

So many dreams

On the shelf

You say I wanted you to be proud of me

I always wanted that myself

 

He says

When you gonna make up your mind

When you gonna love you as much as I do

When you gonna make up your mind

Cause things are gonna change so fast

All the white horses have gone ahead

I tell you that I'll always want you near

You say that things change

My dear

"Cry" - Sam Cooke

https://youtu.be/TEjDhhBGGGQ

 

If your sweetheart sends a letter of goodbye

It's no secret you'll feel better if you cry

When waking from a bad dream

Don't you sometimes think it's real

Well it's only false emotions that you feel

 

If your heartaches seems to hang around too long

And your blues keep getting bluer with each song

Remember, sunshine can be found behind a cloudy sky

So let your hair down and go on and cry

 

Remember, sunshine can be found behind a cloudy sky

So let your hair down and go on and cry

So let your hair down and go on and cry

"(Change Is) Never A Waste Of Time"

Alanis Morissette

 

 

I know there's a reason

You're forcing a smile

You hide what you're feeling

And you have for a while

 

I can tell that you're falling

And you feel that you can't go on

But a new day is calling

And you'll see that the feeling is gone

 

You know you're not the only one

Who has a lot to overcome

And when the time has come

Then you move on

Cause you've been crying far too long

Sometimes life is so unkind

But change is never a waste of time

 

I know how you're feeling

I've been there before

The hurting is something

Much too strong to ignore

Don't be waiting for someone

Who can take all your fear away

When there's no one to listen

That is when you should not be afraid

 

You know you're not the only one

Who has a lot to overcome

And when the time has come

Then you move on

Cause you've been crying far too long

Sometimes life is so unkind

But change is never a waste

No, it's never a waste of time

 

But change is never a waste of time

It's never a waste of time

It's never a waste of time

It's never a waste of time

"This Bitter Earth"

 

 

 

This bitter earth

Well, What fruit it bears

 

What good is love

Mmmmmmmm

That no one shares

 

And if my life

is like the dust

 

Oooh

That hides the glow of a rose

 

What good am I

Heaven only knows

 

Lord, this bitter Earth

Yes, can be so cold

 

Today you are young

Too soon you're old

 

But while a voice

Within me cries

 

I'm sure someone

may answer my call

 

And this bitter earth ooooooh

May not ohhhh, be so bitter after all

American Music Club - Decibels And The Little Pills

 

 

Decibels and little pills and all the thrills you steal from the moon

Holding hands with bright new friends names are only good for gravestones

Because he was sweet and so was she, and you needed love to fill the dark

And time is a current that only flows from warm hands to warm hearts

 

No one here is going to save you

No one here is going to save you

 

In bed you said forever that the world would end if one of you let go

You woke up just in time for the sunset, you said "Let's all go to the big rock show"

And in the bar when you were playing air guitar they suddenly vanished on their little clouds

And in this place you can't find a face without a trace of despair, or a shroud

 

No one here is going to save you

No one here is going to save you

 

And you pull off your blouse, wet girls gone wild, for a crowd that just didn't want to know

And it's not your scene, everyone is mean, your eyes they say, "I don't want to know"

And how sad is that, your rebel cowboy hat, all it says is you're tonight's casualty

Oh, and the crowd is proud to look away like they've never been desperate or lonely

 

No one here is going to save you

No one here is going to save you

No one here is going to save you

Where's the one that's going to save you?

"A Broken Wing" - Martina McBride

 

She loved him like he was

The last man on Earth

Gave him everything she ever had

He'd break her spirit down

Then come loving up on her

Give a little then take it back

 

She'd tell him about her dreams

He'd just shoot 'em down

Lord he loved to make her cry

You're crazy for believing

You'll ever leave the ground

He said only angels know how to fly

 

And with a broken wing

She still sings

She keeps an eye over the sky

With a broken wing

She carries her dreams

Man, you ought a see her fly

 

One Sunday morning

She didn't go to church

He wondered why she didn't leave

He went up to the bedroom

Found a note by the window

With the curtains blowing in the breeze

 

And with a broken wing

She still sings

She keeps an eye over the sky

With a broken wing

She carries her dreams

Man you ought a see her fly

 

With a broken wing

She carries her dreams

Man, you ought a see her fly

"Hoping" - X Ambassadors

 

I'm falling in this great divide

The earth it splits

And my feet on both sides

And all my faith is shaking

 

[CHORUS:]

I got to keep on hoping (keep on hoping)

Keep on hoping (keep on hoping)

When it all feels broken

Got to keep your hope alive

 

I'm falling in this great divide

The earth it shifts

And I'm on the other side

And I swear the world's going crazy

 

[CHORUS]

 

Cause this war won't wage itself

It's time we tip the scales

With the weight of the world on ourselves now

And I've been wrong a thousand times or more

But I keep on letting on

 

Keep on hoping

Keep on hoping

Keep on hoping

Keep on hoping

 

Got to keep on hoping (keep on hoping)

Keep on hoping (keep on hoping)

It all feels broken

Got to keep your hope alive

Got to keep on hoping (keep on hoping)

Keep on hoping (keep on hoping)

When it all feels broken

 

You know I'll stick around

Keep on hoping
