"Something More Beautiful" - Beth Orton

 

Catch your eye with a flame

You know I'll be near

You know I'll be near

Take your time in the morning light

There's nobody here

There's nobody here

 

When you feel too much to ever let it show

You turn it up, turn it down

Turn it on, turn it round and leave

When you just don't concede

With what you believe

 

You want to learn the trick

To turn what's not so pretty

Into something more beautiful

 

It's the same place I learned to turn

What could be sorrow

Into some kind of mercy

 

And when I feel too much to ever let it show

You turn it up, turn it down,

Turn it off, turn it round and leave

And then I just don't concede

With what you believe

"Come In From The Rain"

 

         

         

 

Well hello there

Good old friend of mine

You've been reaching for yourself

For such a long, long time

 

There's so much to say

No need to explain

Just an open door for you

To come in from the rain

 

It's a long, long road

When you're all alone

And a man like you

Will always choose

The long way home

 

There's no right or wrong

I'm not here to blame

I just wanna be the one

Who keeps you from the rain

From the rain

 

And it looks like sunny skies

Now that I know you're alright

Time has left us older and wiser

I know I am 

 

And it's good to know my best friend

Has come home again 

 

Cause I think of us

Like an old cliche 

But it doesn't matter

Cause I love you anyway

Come in from the rain

Come in from the rain

 

And it looks like sunny skies

Now that I know you're alright

Time has left us older and wiser

I know I am

 

Cause I think of us

Like an old cliche

But it doesn't matter

Cause I love you anyway

Come in from the rain

Come in from the rain

"Bridge Of Light" - P!nk

 

http://wonderopolis.org/wp-content/uploads//2014/05/dreamstime_xl_21457953-custom.jpg

 

Just when you think hope is lost

And giving up is all you got

Blue turns black

Your confidence is cracked

There seems no turning back from here

 

Sometimes there isn't an obvious explanation

Why the holiest hearts

Can feel the strongest palpitations

 

[CHORUS:]

That's when you can build a bridge of light

That's what turns the wrongs all right

That's when you can't give up the fight

That's when love turns nighttime into day

That's when loneliness goes away

That's why you gotta be strong tonight

Only love can build us a bridge of light

 

When your feet are made of stone

You're convinced that you're all alone

Look at the stars instead of the dark

You'll find your heart shines like the sun

 

Let's not let our anger get us lost

And the need to be right

Comes at way too high a cost

 

[CHORUS]

 

Deep breath, take it on the chin

But don't forget to let love back in

 

That's when love can build a bridge of light

That's what turns the wrongs all right

That's when you can't give up the fight

That's when love turns nighttime into day

That's when loneliness goes away

That's why you gotta be strong tonight

Cause only love can build us a bridge of light

 

Only love can build us a bridge of light

Of light

Of light

Engineers - Come In Out Of The Rain

 

 

I'm not to blame, no cracks in my shell so far,

There is no shame, you're in the clear so far,

'cause you've said it, doesn't make it so,

Doesn't mean that time stands still between us,

There's nothing left to know,

What you've stolen isn't really yours,

Though your words they have no meaning,

Your awkwardness still shows.

 

Ease it down,

Come in out of the rain,

To a better place,

Sleaze is all you know,

That with causing you pain,

It's all you'll ever know.

 

I'm not to blame, no cracks in my shell so far,

There is no shame, you're in the clear so far,

Every thought you think's not how it goes,

Though to see the way you treat them, explains your empty soul,

Make demands of others that you control,

There will always be that certain someone, whose answer will be no.

 

[Repeat Chorus Etc...]

I heard this song recently. I was watching tv when I decided to turn it to another channel. I don't know what happened but I accidentally switched to a random radio channel and heard the end of this song. I found it on YouTube. It is so sad but so uplifting at the same time. It somehow gives me comfort and I hope that it can ease your suffering too.

It is Blessings by Laura Story.

Aah, Tracy, great tribute to your Mom.  Both of those were fun to watch, I'd love to one day get caught in the middle of a flash mob, wouldn't you?  Thanks for that, I found myself listening to a couple more on the side-bar!

"Inner Demons" - Julia Brennan

 

They say don't let them in

Close your eyes

And clear your thoughts again

But when I'm all alone

They show up on their own

 

Cause inner demons

Fight their battles with fire

Inner demons don't play by the rules

They say "Just push them down

Just fight them harder

Why would you give up on it so soon?"

 

So angels, angels

Please just keep on fighting

Angels don't give up on me today

Cause the demons they are there

They just keep biting

Cause inner demons just won't go away

 

So angels, please, hear my prayer

Life is pain, life's not fair

So angels please, please stay here

Take the pain, take the fear

 

They say it won't be hard

But they can't see

The battles in my heart

But when I turn away

The demons seem to stay

 

Cause inner demons

Don't play well with angels

They cheat and lie and steal

And break and bruise

 

Angels, please

Protect me from these rebels

This is a battle

I don't want to lose

 

So angels, angels

Please just keep on fighting

Angels don't give up on me today

Cause the demons they are there

They just keep biting

Cause inner demons just won't go away

(x2)

 

So angels, please, hear my prayer

Life is pain, life's not fair

So angels, please, please stay here

Take the pain, take the fear

"Rain" - Uriah Heep

 

It's raining outside

But that's not unusual

But the way that I'm feeling

Is becoming usual

 

I guess you could say

The clouds are moving away

Away from your days

And into mine

 

Now it's raining inside

It's kind of a shame

And it's getting to me

A happy man

 

Why should you want to

Waste all my time

The world is yours

But I am mine

 

Rain, rain, rain, in my tears

Measuring carefully my years

Shame, shame, shame, in my mind

See what you've done to my life

 

Rain, rain, rain, in my tears

Measuring carefully my years

Shame, shame, shame, in my mind

See what you've done to my life

See what you've done to my life

"Pigeons and Crumbs" - Natalie Imbruglia

 

Gotta get back

Gotta figure out a way

I'm losing my senses to you

Where did it go

The bluebird I should follow

Back home, but where is home

 

Guess it won't amount to much

Won't be long before I crush

I'll stand in line

Don't believe a thing they say today

Seems we all get lost

Amongst the pigeons and the crumbs

 

All alone

But I'm in a crowded room

I'm sinking in quicksand tonight

You pick me up

And I shine across the sky

Till the morning

When you color me in

 

Guess it won't amount to much

Seems to me I've lost my touch

I'm back in line

 

Don't believe a thing they say today

Turn around and walk away

Everything will go your way I pray

Seems we all get lost

Amongst the pigeons and the crumbs

"Chimes of Freedom"

 

The Byrds

https://youtu.be/v7Uxguas1zc

 

Youssou Ndour

 

Far between sundown's finish and midnight's broken toll

We ducked inside the doorway, thunder crashing

As majestic bells of bolts struck shadows in the sounds

Seeming to be the chimes of freedom flashing

 

Flashing for the warriors whose strength is not to fight

Flashing for the refugees on the unarmed road of flight

And for each and every underdog soldier in the night

And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing

 

Even though a cloud's white curtain

In a far-off corner flashed

And the hypnotic splattered mist was slowly lifting

Electric light still struck like arrows, fired but for the ones

Condemned to drift or else be kept from drifting

 

Tolling for the searching ones on their speechless, seeking trail

For the lonesome-hearted lovers with too personal a tale

And for each unharmful, gentle soul misplaced inside a jail

And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing

 

Starry-eyed and laughing as I recall when we were caught

Trapped by no track of hours for they hanged suspended

As we listened one last time and we watched with one last look

Spellbound and swallowed till the tolling ended

 

Tolling for the aching ones whose wounds cannot be nursed

For the countless confused, accused, misused, strung-out ones and worse

And for every hung-up person in the whole wide universe

And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing

"Survivor" - Terence Trent D'Arby

Look at what you've survived

You had everything go wrong

You've said it to a few so long

 

I believe you can take anything

Cause look at what you've come through

You needn't be in agony

 

Somewhere somebody has heard your plea

And given you the strength

To handle these and other things

 

Survivor, survivor

You are a real survivor

Survivor, survivor

You're not a sleeper

You're a riser

 

Look at what you've survived

You held your head deep in your hands

You thought about leaving us early

Or checking out a little slowly

 

Take a look at what you've survived

You pulled through a major rain

So you transform your pain

I believe there's nothing more noble

 

Than a survivor, survivor

You're a real survivor

Survivor, survivor

You're not a sleeper

I saw you rise up

Depeche Mode - Enjoy The Silence

 

https://youtu.be/diT3FvDHMyo

 

Words like violence

Break the silence

Come crashing in

Into my little world

Painful to me

Pierce right through me

Can't you understand

Oh my little girl

 

All I ever wanted

All I ever needed

Is here in my arms

Words are very unnecessary

They can only do harm

 

Vows are spoken

To be broken

Feelings are intense

Words are trivial

Pleasures remain

So does the pain

Words are meaningless

And forgettable

 

All I ever wanted

All I ever needed

Is here in my arms

Words are very unnecessary

They can only do harm

"Given it All" - Bonnie Tyler

https://youtu.be/Fg3tv6ZCnpM

 

I have given it all

I have taken all the punches

Back into the corner I crawl

Now the dice have tumbled

How the mighty stumble and fall

I have given it all

 

Left to dry in the rain

Washed away by love's indifference

Broken down, twisted and lame

Hold me for a moment

Help me find myself once again

Take me in from the rain

Shelter me from this pain

 

We wander from the straight and narrow

And we make a bed of nails

That we lie upon

We only need the warmth of love

When it has gone

Bring me in from the cold

 

At the end of every rainbow

I'd have it all, I was told

But in time, as colors faded

Promises I traded for gold

Bring me in from the cold

And let me live with my soul

Let me live with my soul

 

I'm searching for the strength

Inside of me

But the road is long

When you've lost your way

I reach out for a guiding light

It fades to grey

 

I have given it all

There've been times I may have hurt you

Times I should have given you more

But through it all just know I've loved you

Think before you walk out the door

I've got my back to the wall

 

I have given it all

I have given it all

I have given it all

[[Lo...]]

REM - World Leader Pretend

 

 

I sit at my table and wage war on myself

It seems like it's all, it's all for nothing

I know the barricades

And I know the mortar in the wall breaks

I recognise the weapons, I've used them well

 

This is my mistake

Let me make it good

I raised the wall

And I will be the one to knock it down

 

I've a rich understanding of my finest defences

I proclaim that claims are left unstated

I demand a rematch

 

I decree a stalemate

I divine my deeper motives

I recognise the weapons

I've practised them well

I fitted them myself

 

It's amazing what devices you can sympathize

Empathise

This is my mistake, let me make it good

I raised the wall

And I will be the one to knock it down

 

Reach out for me

Hold me tight

Hold that memory

Let my machine talk to me

Let my machine talk to me

 

This is my world,and I am the World Leader Pretend

This is my life, and this is my time

I have been given the freedom to do as I see fit

It's high time I razed the walls that I've constructed

 

It's amazing what devices you can sympathize

Empathise

This is my mistake, let me make it good

I raised the wall

And I will be the one to knock it down

 

You fill in the mortar

You fill in the harmony

You fill in the mortar

I raised the wall

And I'm the only one

I will be the one to knock it down

"All By Myself"

 

Eric Carmen

https://youtu.be/Q9EyWwSzE6A

 

Celine Dion

 

When I was young

I never needed anyone

And making love was just for fun

Those days are gone

 

Living alone

I think of all the friends I've known

But when I dial the telephone

Nobody's home

 

[CHORUS:]

All by myself

Don't want to be

All by myself anymore

All by myself

Don't want to live

All by myself anymore

 

Hard to be sure

Sometimes I feel so insecure

And love so distant and obscure

Remains the cure

 

[CHORUS]

 

When I was young

I never needed anyone

And making love was just for fun

Those days are gone

 

All by myself

Don't want to be

All by myself anymore

All by myself

Don't want to live

All by myself anymore

 

All by myself

Don't want to be

All by myself anymore

Matthew Ryan - Irrelevant

 

 

There's only one light on in the house

And that's the light up in the hall

And it's shining on the back of my head

And I'm concentrating hard

On the cigarette, to the ashtray

From the ashtray back to my lips

So I lean up from my easy chair

I rub my three day beard

And give that thousand yard stare

As I recall all the time and the money we spent

Before I became irrelevant

So the straw dog threw rock salt

And the precious girl took a bow and walked

As I ran my finger over the screen door

Yeah, every kiss has reeked of betrayal

Since my heroine jumped the guardrail

And decided who she wanted to be once more

Now, every night I'm paralyzed

By the fear of rope burns and morning light

And the smell of wet cement

Since I became irrelevant

Now, memory's just a flash flood

A thick and black sticky mud

And heartache it's like a breaking bone

It was always twelve hours on a missionary line

You think I would've spared some time

But I didn't, I never went home

Now, it occurs to me like blinds undrawn

Or a bullet from a shotgun

That she knew long ago, oh, what it meant

To feel irrelevant

Now, I'm always smilin', cryin'

And hidin' my intent

Since I became irrelevant
