" By Your Side"

Lifehouse

 

 

"By Your Side"

 

All I want now is to be with you

Cause you know I've been everywhere else

Looking back at what you got me through

You knew me better than I knew myself

 

When I feel lost and I can't find my way

When words are at a loss I can hear you say

 

I'll be by your side, when all hope has died

I will still be around oh and I, I'm still on your side

When everything's wrong, I will still be around

By your side

 

Fighting my way back to where you are

The only place I ever felt at home

Stumbling backwards through the dark

I know how it feels to be alone

And where we go is where I wanna be

And in the silence I hear you say to me

 

I'll be by your side, when all hope has died

I will still be around, oh and I, I'm still on your side

When everything's wrong, I will still be around

 

I can't wait another day to show my space between

Your heart and mine, and you're all that I need

You say

 

I'll be by your side, when all hope has died

I will still be around, oh and I, I'm still on your side

When everything's wrong, I will still be around

By your side, by your side, by your side, by your side, by your side

 

❤️❤️❤️

Paul Anka - Smells Like Teen Spirit (Nirvana Cover)

 

 

Load up on guns, bring your friends

It's fun to lose and to pretend

She's over bored and self assured

Oh no, I know a dirty word

 

Hello, hello, hello, how low? [x3]

Hello, hello, hello!

 

With the lights out, it's less dangerous

Here we are now, entertain us

I feel stupid and contagious

Here we are now, entertain us

A mulatto

An albino

A mosquito

My libido

Yeah, hey, yay

 

I'm worse at what I do best

And for this gift I feel blessed

Our little group has always been

And always will until the end

 

Hello, hello, hello, how low? [x3]

Hello, hello, hello!

 

With the lights out, it's less dangerous

Here we are now, entertain us

I feel stupid and contagious

Here we are now, entertain us

A mulatto

An albino

A mosquito

My libido

Yeah, hey, yay

 

And I forget just why I taste

Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile

I found it hard, it's hard to find

Oh well, whatever, never mind

 

Hello, hello, hello, how low? [x3]

Hello, hello, hello!

 

With the lights out, it's less dangerous

Here we are now, entertain us

I feel stupid and contagious

Here we are now, entertain us

A mulatto

An albino

A mosquito

My libido

A denial! [x9]

I agree here is another great one.. I heard she went through this also. I have a bunch of music in my blog. sometimes they say how I feel better than I can.

 

 

Hey Meems, welcome.   So true, so true, isn't it, about music speaking to and for us.  Best medicine!  Hope you're doing okay with your taper, good luck to you.

Lush - Hypocrite

 

 

A silly girl I run around and never know my reasons

And though you're laughing with me I know what you say about me

 

I can't explain, it's not your business anyway

So don't say you understand

And don't pretend you're on my side

 

And I remember when you hated her for sleeping next to him

I see your smiling face but I know you've done worse to me

 

You hypocrite,

Don't talk to me

'Cause you're not fit to know me

So don't pretend

That you could've ever been a friend

 

And still I'm sure you think it's OK

What you've done to me

'Cause I'm so bad to him

Don't even try to hide behind that stupid lie

I know your kind and I know where your loyalties lie

 

The silly girls we run around and never know our reasons

And though I understand I guess I'll say that you betrayed me

 

I'm a hypocrite,

I dish it out but I can't take it

I know you think it's wrong

And maybe you're right but this is my song

 

And still I'm sure you think it's OK

What she did to me

'Cause I'm so bad to him

Don't even try to hide behind that stupid smile

I know our kind and I know where our loyalties lie

Mega City Four - Stop

 

https://youtu.be/T1i6ocbNgiw

 

The further away I get

The sharper are the lines

You need some distance

To help you redefine

The harder I look at you

The less you dissapoint

I realize no one's to blame

 

Stop and listen

You might hear something you're missing

Stop and listen

You might hear something you're missing

 

Think about the things you value

And not about the cost

 

You've gotta get things into perspective

Without it you are lost

 

They say actions speak louder than words

Whoever they may be

Probably the one's who'll break your back

To bolster up their insecurity

 

Stop and listen

You might hear something you're missing

Stop and listen

You might hear something you're missing

 

For something so important

It's so little

 

Reach down inside

Swallow your pride

Don't be afraid

Forgiveness is a virtue

Not a crime

 

Stop and listen

You might hear something you're missing

Stop and listen

You might hear something you're missing

 

Stop and listen

 

For something so important

It's so little

So little....

" Misery Chain"

The incomparable Chris Cornell, SIGH, RIP  :'( :'( :'(

 

 

"Misery Chain"

 

 

Won't you take one link, from this misery chain.

Keep it to remind you, of a long forgotten time or a place.

So that you recognize its shape, when it's near.

Any time or place this misery chain should appear.

 

Take the locks and shackles, and melt all of it down.

Shine a light upon, every shadow, every acre of ground.

The hidden corners on in all around

Anyway you feel this misery chain should be found.

 

When we're gone, and it's all said and done.

What will we leave.

Stories told, will they speak of us when God only knows

That those word will be.

 

And if I should fall, from the top of the world

To the depths below, so far below where our believe could exist.

Down further still will be, the one who hides the key.

And there's to try to put these misery chains on me.

 

When we're gone, and it's all said and done.

What will we leave.

Stories told, will they speak of us when God only knows

That those word will be.

 

Won't you take one link, from this misery chain.

Keep it to remind you, of a long forgotten time or a place.

So that you recognize it, 'till it's understood.

And that every trace of this misery chain is gone for good.

'til every trace of this misery chain is gone for good.

" Through The Window"

Chris Cornell

 

 

 

"Through The Window"

 

The clouds that gathered turned to rain

The candles on your sill burned out

The weather on your face

Turned to match the mood outside

 

Reading through poems that you saved

That make the gloomy hours make sense

Or do they lose their power

With the yellowing of age

 

I saw you suffering

Through a foggy window in the rain

When you thought no one was watching, yeah

Going through your memories

Like so many prisons to escape

And become someone else

With another face

And another name

No more suffering

 

You sold the best of yourself out

On a chain of grey and white lies

One syllable at a time

You should have made them pay

A higher price

 

I saw you suffering

Through the cracked and dirty window pane

I was ashamed that I was watching, yeah

Going through your imagination

Looking for a life you could create

And become somebody else, yeah

With another face

With another name

No more suffering

 

I wish that I could find a seed

And plant a tree that grows so high

So that I could climb

And harvest the ripe stars

For you and I to drink

And spit the ashes from our mouths

And put the grey back in the clouds

And send them packing with our bags

Of old regrets and sorrows

'Cause they don't do a thing but drag us down

So far down

The past is like a braided rope

Each moment tightly coiled inside

 

I saw you suffering

Through the yellow window of a train

With everybody watching, yeah

Too tired for imagining

That you could ever love somebody else

From somewhere far away

From another time

And another place

With another life

And another face

And another name

And another name

No more suffering.

" Dead Wishes"

Chris Cornell

 

 

 

"Dead Wishes"

 

Staring in the mirror with two borrowed eyes

Looking for the part of me that's still alive

Waiting for my chest to fall... and rise

Standing on the corner With my shirt tucked in

Summer turns to autumn winter turns to spring

And it all flies by... like a speeding train

 

Dead wishes on a broken chain

White roses in a dead man's dream

Down and out with everything to lose

If these long dead wishes

Ever do come true

 

Waiting for the night to come and chase away

All the flies hovering around my head

With my memory for a pillow

And all my regrets for a bed

 

Standing on the corner now I'm passed surprise

Yelling out a warning to some passer by

I stand just as God made me

And I lie down in disguise

 

Dead wishes on a burning lake

White roses from my soul to keep

Down and out with everything to win

If my long since sunken ship

Ever does come in

 

(Round and round we all fall down

And that's how ancient mountains crumble)

 

Time keeps moving slower

Like falling from the sun

Come and knock me over

I keep getting up

Throw a line down to me

Keep hanging on

 

Standing on the corner don't apologize

You don't have to bow your head or raise your eyes

Or pretend that you don't see me

 

Dead wishes on a broken chain

White roses in a dead man's dream

Down and out with everything to lose

If these long dead wishes

Ever do come true

 

(Round and round we all fall down

And that's how ancient mountains crumble)

" Rowing"

Soundgarden

 

 

"Rowing"

 

Don't know where I'm going, I just keep on rowing

I just keep on pulling, gotta row

Don't know where I'm going, I just keep on rowing

I just keep on pulling, gotta row

 

Moving is breathing and breathing is life

Stopping is dying, you'll be alright

Life is a hammer waiting to drop

Adrift in the shallows and the rowing won't stop

 

Don't know where I'm going, I just keep on rowing

I just keep on pulling, gotta row

Don't know where I'm going, I just keep on rowing

I just keep on pulling, gotta row

 

Can't see the sky, nothing on the horizon

Can't feel my hands and the water keeps rising

Can't fall asleep cause I'll wake up dead

I just keep pulling, I just keep rolling

 

Don't know where I'm going, I just keep on rowing

I just keep on pulling, gotta row

Don't know where I'm going (I don't know where I'm going)

I just keep on rowing, I just keep on pulling, gotta row

 

Rowing is living and living is hard

But living beats losing all that we are

And all that we know of and all that we feel

And all we remember imagined or real

All we remember imagined or real

 

I heard an echo but the answer had changed

From the word I remember that I started out saying

Living is cheating if you're not pulling oars

But the current is leaving, I'll get mine, you'll get yours

 

Don't know where I'm going, I just keep on rowing

I just keep on pulling, gotta row

Don't know where I'm going, I just keep on rowing

I just keep on pulling, gotta row

 

Rowing is bleeding and bleeding is breathing

Breathing is feeling burning and freezing

Keep getting dirty but I started out clean

I keep on rowing, I keep on rowing

I keep on pulling, I keep on pulling

I keep on rowing, I keep on rowing

I keep on rowing, I keep on rowing

I keep on rolling

Keep on rolling

 

Don't know where I'm going, I just keep on rowing

I just keep on pulling, gotta row

Don't know where I'm going, I just keep on rowing

I just keep on pulling, gotta row

" I Am The Highway"

Audioslave

 

 

 

"I Am The Highway"

 

Pearls and swine bereft of me.

Long and weary my road has been.

I was lost in the cities, alone in the hills.

No sorrow or pity for leaving, I feel, yeah.

 

I am not your rolling wheels – I am the highway.

I am not your carpet ride – I am the sky.

 

Friends and liars don't wait for me,

'Cause I'll get on all by myself.

I put millions of miles under my heels;

And still too close to you, I feel, yeah.

 

I am not your rolling wheels – I am the highway.

I am not your carpet ride – I am the sky.

 

I am not your blowing wind – I am the lightning.

I am not your autumn moon – I am the night… the night.

 

Yeah!

I am not your rolling wheels – I am the highway.

I am not your carpet ride – I am the sky.

 

Well,

I am not your blowing wind – I am the lightning.

I am not your autumn moon – I am the night... the night.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Cat Power - I don't blame you

 

https://youtu.be/cFG6gGBiwNE

 

Last time I saw you, you were on stage

Your hair was wild, your eyes were bright

And you were in a rage

You were swinging your guitar around

Cuz they wanted to hear that sound

But you didn't want to play

And I don't blame you

 

I don't blame you

 

Been around the world, in many situations

Been inside many heads in different positions

But you never wanted them that way

What a cruel price you thought that you had to pay

Them back for all that shit on stage

But it never made sense to them anyway

Could you imagine when they turned their backs

They were only scratching their heads

Cuz you simply deserve the best

And I don't blame you

 

I don't blame you

 

They said you were the best

But then they were only kids

Then you would recall the deadly houses you grew up in

Just because they knew your name

Doesn't mean they know from where you came

What a sad trick you thought that you had to play

But I don't blame you

 

They never owned it

And you never owed it to them anyway

 

I don't blame you

"Soldier In The Rain"

England Dan & John Ford Coley

 

Morning clouds are gathering around

As I stand on the bridge of the river

Years have gone since I was here

And I'm wondering how I differ

Taxicabs keep rolling by

And a blind man asks for change

 

And here I stand a soldier in the rain

 

Coming home was all I thought of

Seeing my family and friends

They say love knows no distance

But the longing never ends

And all along these dreams

That possessed my heart

Never were too plain

 

And here I stand a soldier in the rain

 

I remember years ago I had so many plans

And now I watch the river flow

Time has brought me here

With empty hands

(x2)

 

Morning clouds are gathering around

And the streets are full of reflections

A traffic light and the moon still bright

People going in different directions

I've thought about why I'm here

It's just too hard to explain

 

So here I stand a soldier in the rain

In the rain, in the rain

In the rain

"Here Comes The Night" - Janis Ian

https://youtu.be/hi4PNexWAEc

 

Touching the tenderest night

Before the feelings take flight

Touch and you make everything new

Everything bright, shiny and true

 

Before the dawn and the light

Here comes the night

 

Here in the heart I still breathe

Longing a part of me I can't see

And if the heart cannot redeem

One soul apart, one separate dream

 

Before the dawn and the light

Here comes the night

 

Here we are waiting and longing

Crying out "I am more than just a man"

Building castles in the sand

All of us needing and leaving

Long before the break of day

So little time to say

Well I am, I know the way

 

And I wanna be somebody

Who can see forever

Wanna be somebody who can see forever

 

Here in the heart, I still dream

Here in the heart of life I seem

Somebody light, somebody new

Somebody bright, shiny and true

Somebody light, somebody new

Somebody bright, shiny and true

 

I wanna be somebody who can see forever

 

Before the dawn and the light

Here comes the night

Before the dawn and the light

Here comes the night

"Miracle Healing" - Alphaville

 

Hello, my friend 

It's late and I want to sleep

But I just can't make it to my bed

I've got a brand new song on my screen

It's called Miracle Healing

I read it on a sign somewhere in Port of Spain

 

I remember a bright blue colonial building

For me it looked like the entrance to paradise

A place full of smiling people, a place full of happiness

I was dreaming to go there

Instead of doing the interview

I received ...

 

[CHORUS:]

A miracle healing

Of innocence and ecstasy

Dreams of independence

Love, caress and energy

The circle and the square

Sound and vision, angels are singing

You're gonna burn in hell no more

You're gonna burn in hell no more

 

Are you sure what to think of me

Do you know how I should be

Is there any damn explanation for this world

And what kind of healing would I need

Only one thing I know is that I need some help

I must finish this song to find it all out

 

[CHORUS]

 

Hello, my friend 

It's late and I want to sleep

And I'm sitting here all alone with my ghosts tonight

If I slept for a thousand years

Would you dig inside my pyramid

Would you resurrect me from the dead

Would you light up my darkness

Would you give me ...

 

A miracle healing

Of innocence and ecstasy

Dreams of independence

Love, caress and energy

The circle and the square

Sound and vision, angels are singing

 

You're gonna burn in hell no more

You're gonna burn in hell no more

You're gonna burn in hell no more

A miracle healing

"Fly Away" - Sugarland

 

Oh I swear this town

Gets smaller everyday

And I'm waiting for my chance

I'm gonna break away

 

I'm so sick and tired

Of being told what's good for me

People got lots of ideas

Of who I'm supposed to be

 

[CHORUS:]

Angel carry me, oh, so far away

May my body never touch the ground

And If I promise you I'll be back someday

Will you set me free so I can fly away

Fly away, fly away

 

Well most folks here

They don't dig too deep

They can't dream too big

Cause they have fields to keep

 

I could walk away

And leave my family

Or get buried alive in this legacy

 

[CHORUS]

 

I want to sleep under a different piece of sky

I want to live a little bit before I die

I want to be so close to heaven I see angels

 

Carry me, oh, so far away

May my body never touch the ground

And If I promise that I'll be back someday

Will you set me free so I can fly away

Fly away, fly away

Fly away, fly away

"Always" - Lara Fabian

 

 

Under the same sky

Waiting for each other

Under the same sky

Trying to survive

 

Searching for the heart

That will understand us

And for a moment to know

That we are one soul

Always

Give yourself completely

Know that what you are

Is the gift to share

Through the love you dare to breathe

 

Always

Know that you're the essence

Of the perfect plan

Beyond every doubt

You shine if you dream out loud

 

Under the same sky

We seek inspiration

Under the same sky

We feed our own fire

 

To keep up the faith

We pray for tomorrow

When it is today

We can change our way

 

Always

Give yourself completely

Know that what you are

Is the gift to share

Through the love you dare to breathe

 

Always

Know that you are the essence

Of the perfect plan

Beyond every doubt

You shine when you dream out loud

Beyond every doubt

You shine when you dream out loud

Baby It's You — Promises (you've probably never heard of it) 

 

 

You're here with me now but you're saying

You don't want me any more

You're holding me now but you're saying

You can't see me no no more

You whisper good-bye then cling tighter to me

I can't take no more.

 

Baby it's you

Who makes me feel the way that you do

You know I can't forget you so soon

Baby it's you.

 

Running your fingers through my hair

But saying you care no more

You're kissing my ear with a heart chilling

Breath that you can't no more

Laying beside me with legs all around me

I care no more oh no.

 

Baby it's you

Who makes me do the things that I do

You know I can't cast aside you so soon

Baby it's you.

 

Changing the show

Adding dramatics to help love grow

Your heart is your life

Cut it carefully with your knife

Don't leave the world

Stay right here

Don't make don't make anything rough.

 

Baby it's you

Who makes me feel the way that you do

You know I can't forget you so soon

Baby it's you.

 

Baby it's you

Who makes me do the things that I do

You know I can't cast aside you so soon

Baby it's you.

Watching the pretty flowers grow

Never again no summer

"Kill The Pain" — INXS

 

 

Put the red lights on

Don't tell them that you've gone

Leave behind your fears

You know that can't be wrong

 

Kill the pain you feel

Kill the pain you fear

 

I know you've seen some things

That hurt you in your dreams

Your face it tells the story

The pages stained with tears

 

Kill the pain you feel

Kill the pain you fear

 

Take the curtains down

The sun is what you found

It leads you far from here

And takes you to higher ground

 

Kill the pain you feel

Kill the pain you fear

 

Find a way

Keep the heart

You have within

Omfg, look who lost his way and landed up here.  Shook baby ... It's you!!!  :laugh:

Made me laugh out loud, thanks!  You forgot to add the Youtube link though.  No biggie ... I wanna do it, I'll do it, I'll do it.

Who makes me do the things that I do? You know I can't "cast aside you" so soon, abcd! 

 

I was supremely tempted to put up a link for the cover featuring Hugh Jackman being a dork, but didn't want everyone's first exposure to this song—and face it, it will be—to be tainted. Wasn't that nice of me?

 

WARNING!

 

Listening to "Baby It's You" may provoke a severe gag reflex or drive you completely mad to the point where you catch yourself singing it in the shower and cursing abcd for it.
