"Still Lost" - Tom McRae

 

So my love

I left this world for a while

For a while

I float through strange days

Search the one way

To bring me back to you

 

So don't let me go

Don't let me go

Don't let me go

From here

 

Cause I'll be still lost

I'll be still lost

I'll be still lost

I'll be still lost

When you come

When will you come

To look for me

 

If I was to call you

Would you come

And if I was to call you

Would you come

Oh my love

When will you come to look for me

 

Cause I'll be still lost

I'll be still lost

I'll be still lost

I'll be still lost

When you come

Why don't you come

To look for me

"Bitter Memory" - Lucinda Williams

 

Go away, bitter memory

I feel finally you stay away from me

But I was wrong

You're still strong

Go away, bitter memory

 

Yeah, go away, bitter memory

You keep on bothering me

Why won't you let me be

You make my cry

Why won't you die

Go away, bitter memory

 

Well, bitter memory

You're a thorn in my side

Bitter memory

You're the trouble on my mind

Find a new place to call home

You're not welcome anymore

Let me show you to the door

Bitter memory

 

Go away, bitter memory

Why do you have to be a source of misery

Leave me alone

Let me live on

Go away bitter memory

 

Yeah, go away, bitter memory

And quit constantly interrupting me

Don't come around

You lonesome sound

Go away, bitter memory

 

Well bitter memory

You're a thorn in my side

Bitter memory

You're the trouble on my mind

Find a new place to call home

You're not welcome anymore

Let me show you to the door

Bitter memory

(x2)

 

Let me show you to the door

Bitter memory

Let me show you to the door

Bitter memory

"The Wings Of An Eagle - Russell Morris

 

Well, I'm looking out

On an overcast sky in the morning

I can hear the warning

As it calls to you

 

As the birds migrate

And the wind is raised

I see the eagle soaring

Although I'm just a pawn

In nature's game like you

Wah hoo, wah hoo, wah hoo

 

On the wings of an eagle

I find myself lifted through the skies

Lifted up above the world to see

(x2)

 

As the days roll on

And the nights get long

The changing of the seasons

And the falling autumn leaves

They bring me down, they bring me down

They bring me down

 

Do you lose your way

In the middle of the day

Do you see your brother crawling

And all the while he's calling out

For help from you

Wah hoo, wah hoo, wah hoo

 

On the wings of an eagle

I find myself lifted through the skies

Lifted up above the world to see

(x2)

 

Can you see me

Can you see me

Can you see me

Can you see me

"I Believe in You" - Michael Buble

 

Time goes by

And I've been holding everything inside

But now I've got nothing left to hide

When I'm with you, oh, you

 

But I can see

How strong a man I'm gonna have to be

To do for you what comes so naturally

It's in the way you move

 

And all I want

Is a chance to prove

Show all I can do

 

[CHORUS:]

I believe in starting over

I can see that your heart is true

I believe in good things coming back to you

You're the light that lifts me higher

So bright, you guide me through

I believe in you

 

And I don't mind

If you want to hold on to me tight

You don't have to sleep alone tonight

If you don't want to

 

And all I want

Is to know you're near

You're all I need here

 

[CHORUS]

 

I know that there are times

When you feel worthless

Like all the love you get

You don't deserve it

 

Sometimes I feel my faith

Is just a burden

On you, you, you

 

I believe in starting over

I can see your heart is true

I believe in love

You give me reason to

You're the light that lifts me higher

So high up in the sky

I, I think we're gonna fly

 

I believe in starting over

I can see that your heart is true

I believe in love

You give me reason to

You're the light that lifts me higher

So bright, you guide me through

I believe in you

 

I believe in you

I believe in you

Oh, you guide me through

I believe in you

"Home" - Gabrielle Aplin

 

http://images2.sina.com/english/china/p/2008/1217/U137P200T1D205589F8DT20081217192554.jpg

 

I'm a phoenix in the water

A fish that's learned to fly

And I've always been a daughter

But feathers are meant for the sky

 

And so I'm wishing, wishing further

For the excitement to arrive

It's just I'd rather be causing the chaos

Than laying at the sharp end of this knife

 

With every small disaster

I'll let the waters still

Take me away to some place real

 

Cause they say

Home is where your heart is set in stone

Is where you go when you're alone

Is where you go to rest your bones

It's not just where you lay your head

It's not just where you make your bed

As long as we're together

Does it matter where we go

Home, home

 

So when I'm ready to be bolder

And my cuts have healed with time

Comfort will rest on my shoulder

And I'll bury my future behind

 

I'll always keep you with me

You'll be always on my mind

But there's a shining in the shadows

I'll never know unless I try

 

With every small disaster

I'll let the waters still

Take me away to some place real

 

Cause they say

Home is where your heart is set in stone

Is where you go when you're alone

Is where you go to rest your bones

It's not just where you lay your head

It's not just where you make your bed

As long as we're together

Does it matter where we go

Home home home home

Peter Murphy - Marlene Dietrich's favorite poem

 

https://youtu.be/con3QUAuYPo

 

My mother loved it so she said

Sad eyed pearl and drop lips

Glancing pierce through writer man

Spoke hushed and frailing hips

Her old eyes skim in creasing lids

A tear falls as she describes

Approaching death with a yearning heart

With pride and no despise

 

Hot tears flow as she recounts

Her favourite worded token

Forgive me please for hurting so

Don't go away heartbroken no

Don't go away heartbroken no

 

Just wise owl tones no velvet lies

Crush her velvet call

Oh Marlene suffer all the fools

Who write you on the wall

And hold your tongue about your life

Or dead hands will change the plot

Will make your loving sound like snakes

Like you were never hot

 

Hot tears flow as she recounts

Her favourite worded token

Forgive me please for hurting so

Don't go away heartbroken no

 

My mother loved it so she said

Sad eyed pearl and drop lips yeah

Glancing pierce through writer man

Spoke hushed and frailing lips yeah

Old eyes skim in creasing lids

Approaching death with a yearning heart

With pride and no despise

All of my days - Alexi Murdoch

 

Damage I have done.  The heads

"There's buzzin' and ringin' in my ear

And I wonder where do I go from here

The moments missed, the tickin' of time

I suppose this life is mine, all mine

I remember a time when my mind was clean and clear

 

How do I undo the damage I have done?

How do I undo the damage I have done?

How do I undo the damage I have done?

How do I undo the damage I have done?

 

I remember the color of your eyes changed from blue to black

My fingers twist in a fist behind your back

I crumbled and I cried

I look a long hard breath and died

I don't remember what I did

I don't remember what I said

I don't remember attackin'

If I could bend the bands of time, if I could reel it in

And in the mirror, who is that lookin' back

And I'm scared of whoever this is livin' in my skin

 

How do I undo the damage I have done?

How do I undo the damage I have done?

How do I undo the damage I have done?

How do I undo the damage I have done?

 

I'm sweatin' with a pillow over my face

Thinkin' back to exactly the time and place

Darlin', it was all for you

I believed all the things you said to me were true

You know I love you to death, my dear, you know I do

 

How can I undo the damage I have done?

How do I undo the damage I have done?

How do I undo the damage I have done?

How do I undo the damage I have done?

[[Lo...]]

Thanks, lobo. The Alexi Murdoch style reminds me of this a little bit:

 

Neil Halstead - High Hopes

 

 

Did I hear you say you want someone to talk to

And you want to have someone to hold you close

You've got high hopes for someone good and strong

Someone good to hold you close

 

I wish that I could be the one you want, girl

I wish that I could be the one who's strong

But your high hopes are better saved

For someone else who might stay

 

I see you standing there in the pouring rain

Hoping that the taxi comes real soon

Cause you're beautiful enough to make mistakes

You're beautiful enough to make me stay

 

Did I hear you say you want someone to talk to

And you want to feel some loving in your heart

You've got high hopes for someone good and strong

Someone good who will stay

 

 

 

[[Lo...]]

The Sound - Winning

 

 

What holds your hope together

Make sure it's strong enough

When you reach the end of your tether

It's because it wasn't strong enough

I was going to drown

Then I started swimming

I was going down

Then I started winning

Winning - winning

 

When you're on the bottom

Crawl back to the top

Something pulls you up

And a voice you can't stop

I was going to drown

Then I started swimming

I was going down

Then I started winning

Winning - winning

Ghost Song ~The Doors~

http:// https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3Ja7wDuY9o

 

 

 

Awake.

Shake dreams from your hair

My pretty child, my sweet one.

Choose the day and choose the sign of your day

The day's divinity

First thing you see.

 

A vast radiant beach in a cool jeweled moon

Couples naked race down by it's quiet side

And we laugh like soft, mad children

Smug in the wooly cotton brains of infancy

The music and voices are all around us.

 

---<snip>

 

Ooh great creator of being

Grant us one more hour,

To perform our art

And perfect our lives.

" My Body Is A Cage"

Peter Gabriel

 

 

"My Body Is A Cage"

 

 

My body is a cage

That keeps me from dancing with the one I love

But my mind holds the key

 

My body is a cage

That keeps me from dancing with the one I love

But my mind holds the key

 

I'm standing on a stage

Of fear and self doubt

It's a hollow play

But they'll clap anyway

 

My body is a cage

That keeps me from dancing with the one I love

But my mind holds the key

 

You're standing next to me

My mind holds the key

 

I'm living in an age

That calls darkness light

Though my language is dead

Still the shapes fill my head

 

I'm living in an age

Whose name I don't know

Though the fear keeps me moving

Still my heart beats so slow

 

My body is a cage

That keeps me from dancing with the one I love

But my mind holds the key

 

You're standing next to me

My mind holds the key

My body is a...

 

My body is a cage

We take what we're given

Just because you've forgotten

That don't mean you're forgiven

 

I'm living in an age

That screams my name at night

But when I get to the doorway

There's no one in sight

 

I'm living in an age

They laugh when I'm dancing with the one I love

But my mind holds the key

 

You're standing next to me

My mind holds the key

 

Set my spirit free

Set my spirit free

Set my body free

Set my body free

 

Set my spirit free

Set my body free

" Breathe No More"

Amy Lee

 

 

"Breathe No More"

 

I've been looking in the mirror for so long.

That I've come to believe my soul's on the other side.

All the little pieces falling, shatter.

Shards of me,

Too sharp to put back together.

Too small to matter,

But big enough to cut me into so many little pieces.

If I try to touch her,

And I bleed,

I bleed,

And I breathe,

I breathe no more.

 

Take a breath and I try to draw from my spirits well.

Yet again you refuse to drink like a stubborn child.

Lie to me,

Convince me that I've been sick forever.

And all of this,

Will make sense when I get better.

But I know the difference,

Between myself and my reflection.

I just can't help but to wonder,

Which of us do you love.

So I bleed,

I bleed,

And I breathe,

I breathe no...

Bleed,

I bleed,

And I breathe,

I breathe,

I breathe-

I breathe no more.

" Let It Hurt"

Rascal Flatts

 

 

"Let It Hurt"

 

7:42 in the morning

8 seconds before it all sinks in

Put your best face on for the world

Fake another smile and just pretend

But you're just puttin' off the pain

Nothing's ever really gonna change

 

 

So let it hurt, let it bleed

Let it take you right down to your knees

Let it burn to the worst degree

May not be what you want, but it's what you need

Sometimes the only way around it

Is to let love do it's work

And let it hurt

Yeah, let it hurt

 

3:28 in the morning

Countin' up the spaces between the rain

You're gettin' used to the rocks at the bottom

Your heart goes numb, but the lonely stays the same

And that's the price you're bound to pay

And there's really nothing anyone can say

Oh, there's only just one way

 

 

So let it hurt, let it bleed

Let it take you right down to your knees

Let it burn to the worst degree

May not be what you want, but it's what you need

Sometimes the only way around it

Is to let love do it's work

So go on

Yeah, let it hurt

 

You might just find you're better for it

When you let go and you learn

To let it hurt, let it bleed

Let it take you right down to your knees

Oh...

Sometimes the only way around it

Is to let love do it's work

So go on

And let it hurt

Oh, let it hurt

 

7:42 in the morning

8 seconds before it all sinks in

" When I Look At You"

Miley Cyrus 

 

https://youtu.be/iIqimoNyEBQ

 

"When I Look At You"

 

Everybody needs inspiration

Everybody needs a song

A beautiful melody

When the nights so long

 

'cause there is no guarantee

That this life is easy

 

Yeah when my world is falling apart

When there's no light

To break up the dark

That's when I, I

I look at you

 

When the waves are flooding the shore

And I can't find my way home anymore

That's when I, I

I look at you

 

When I look at you

I see forgiveness

I see the truth

You love me for who I am

Like the stars hold the moon

Right there where they belong

And I know I'm not alone

 

Yeah when my world is falling apart

When there's no light

To break up the dark

That's when I, I

I look at you

 

When the waves are flooding the shore

And I can't find my way home anymore

That's when I, I

I look at you

 

You appear just like a dream to me

Just like kaleidoscope colors that cover me

All I need

Every breath that I breathe

Don't you know you're beautiful

Yeah, yeah, yeah

 

When the waves are flooding the shore

And I can't find my way home anymore

That's when I, I

I look at you

 

I look at you

Yeah,

Whoa-oh,

You appear just like a dream to me

 

❤️❤️❤️

"Melancholy Mood" - Ziggy Marley

 

A little collie weed to ease our grief

Too much agony living in the limits of big city

A little collie weed to meditate

Too much insanity in this society

 

[CHORUS:]

Melancholy mood

I eat for my food

Melancholy mood

(x2)

 

Rise this morning, smile with the sun

Oh, I'm blessed another day has begun

Everything in life has its purpose

Find its reason, it has its season

 

[CHORUS]

 

Tears leave my eyes, I just want to fly

Deep down I feel pain

But I know I must rise again

From this melancholy mood

 

Melancholy mood

Melancholy mood

I eat for my food

Melancholy mood

"Miracles" - Joan Baez

 

Miracles keep happening

The sun rose in the east today

I sat up and sighed for the millionth time

As the dawn was phasing a night away

 

The blues can last for just so long

And from the depths

There will rise another song

And I'll sit here in the sea and the sun

Waiting for that other song to come

That other song to come

 

You don't have to be black to sing the blues

From what I gather all you got to be is blue

Self-indulgence is universal

Adolescence was merely a rehearsal

 

Look around you and you will see

Everyone has a small franchise on misery

On misery

 

[CHORUS:]

And I will sing you a song

Just as soon as I get my voice

When you're up, you're up

And when you're down

You really got no choice

 

No rain this winter

The manzanita reminded me

We've been living in a drought

And the ocean looks good to me

 

Haven't been in love for a year or so

Because I get fussy

And hard to live with as I grow

Ask the hungry manzanita

You cannot cross a cypress and a cedar

And a cedar

 

[CHORUS]

 

My moods are changing like the sea

There are a hundred things

That I'd like to be

Meanwhile I'll sit in the sun

Waiting for that other song to come

That other song to come

 

And I will sing it to you

Just as soon as I get my voice

When you're up, you're really up

And when you're down

You really got no choice

"Where Eagles Fly" - Sammy Hagar

 

Sunday morning 9 a.m.

I saw fire in the sky

I felt my heart pound in my chest

I heard an eagle cry

 

Now I'm alive, I can breathe the air

Feel the wind, smell the earth in the air

I watch an eagle rise above the trees

Project myself into what he sees

 

[CHORUS: ]

Take me away

Come on and fly me away

Pick me up so high

Where eagles fly

 

I often dream I sail through the sky

I've always wished I could fly

The simple life of a bird on the wing

Oh Lord, I could sing

 

[CHORUS]

 

Oh yeah

I'm alive, I breathe the air

Wash the earth from my face

I catch a glimpse of another dream

I turn, I look, but there's no trace

 

Take me away

Come on, fly me away

I wanna fly away

Pick me up so high

Where eagles fly

 

Where eagles fly

Oh, take me away

Where eagles fly

Oh, take me away

Come on, let's fly away

Where eagles fly

I wanna fly away

Where eagles fly

"Rain" - Foreigner

https://youtu.be/Ydj0Ea_nMnA

 

Brother

Always reaching far too high

But I can see the tragic side

And it ain't easy

 

And brother

You won't let anybody help

Why do you sacrifice yourself

You can't go on this way

 

Tell me why, oh why

Why don't you open up your heart

Let the light from inside

Show us who you are

 

[CHORUS:]

And when it looks like rain

And when the dark clouds fill your sky

There ain't no good reason why

You've got to feel the pain

Even when it looks like rain

Just hold your head up high

I know the sun's gonna shine

Even when it looks like rain

 

Hey, sister

Another story must be told

Just count the blessings you still hold

What's done is done

 

Yea, sister

You can find the one you need

Don't have to live the life you lead

Don't be the lonely one

 

Tell me why, oh why

Why don't you open up your heart

Let the light from inside

Show us who you are

 

[CHORUS]

 

Don't get down and don't get washed away

Just remind yourself every day

That into each life

A little rain must fall

So let it rain, rain

 

Even when it looks like rain

Just hold your head up high

I know the sun's gonna shine

Even when it looks like rain

"Rise Up" - Andra Day

 

 

You’re broken down and tired

Of living life on a merry-go-round

And you can’t find the fighter

But I see it in you 

 

So we can walk it out

And move mountains

We can walk it out

And move mountains

 

[CHORUS:]

And I’ll rise up, I'll rise like the day

I’ll rise up, I'll rise unafraid

I'll rise up

And I’ll do it a thousand times again

And I’ll rise up, high like the waves

I’ll rise up, in spite of the ache

I'll rise up

And I’ll do it a thousands times again

For you, for you, for you

For you

 

When the silence isn’t quiet

And it feels like it’s getting hard to breathe

And I know you feel like dying

But I promise we’ll take the world to its feet

And move mountains

Bring it to its feet

And move mountains

 

[CHORUS]

 

All we need, all we need is hope

And for that we have each other

And for that we have each other

We will rise, we will rise

We’ll rise, oh, we’ll rise

 

I’ll rise up, high like the waves

I’ll rise up, in spite of the ache

I will rise a thousands times again

 

And we’ll rise up, high like the waves

We’ll rise up, in spite of the ache

We’ll rise up

And we'll do it a thousands times again

For you
