Suzanne Vega "Luka" (1987):

 

 

 

Estee 

 

Thank you, abcd. Something good always comes out of something bad. Lost a few pounds in a week.

If there's one person who learns sth about themselves by reading my posts. My rambling was not in vain.

Thank you, LorazepamFree2015. This too shall pass. Great song, didn't know it. As the video didn't open on my iPad, I'm sending an iTunes version for those with the same problem.

Today would have been the 10th anniversary of our wedding. August 25, 2017. Whatever has become of us? Who knows?

 

Just a stupid sentimental song for all those lonely hearts out there. I was programmed not to be sentimental. No idea WTH I'm posting this.

 

MACY GRAY "I TRY"

 

 

Lyrics:

 

Games, changes, and fears

When will they go from here?

When will they stop?

I believe that fate has brought us here

And we should be together, babe

But we're not

 

I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you

I'll keep my cool, but I'm fiendin

 

I try to say goodbye and I choke

I try to walk away and I stumble

Though I try to hide it, it's clear

My world crumbles when you are not near

Goodbye and I choke

I try to walk away and I stumble

Though I try to hide it, it's clear

My world crumbles when you are not near

 

I may appear to be free,

But I'm just a prisoner of your love

I may seem alright and smile when you leave,

But my smiles are just a front, just a front

 

I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you

I'll keep my cool, but I'm fiendin

 

I try to say goodbye and I choke

I try to walk away and I stumble

Though I try to hide it, it's clear

My world crumbles when you are not near

Goodbye and I choke

I try to walk away and I stumble

Though I try to hide it, it's clear

My world crumbles when you are not near

 

[This really is a BS part]

 

Here is my confession

May I be your possession

Boy, I need your touch,

Your love kisses, and such

With all my might I try,

But this I can't deny, deny

 

[End of BS part]

 

I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you

I'll keep my cool, but I'm fiendin

 

I try to say goodbye and I choke

I try to walk away and I stumble

Though I try to hide it, it's clear

My world crumbles when you are not near

Goodbye and I choke

I try to walk away and I stumble

Though I try to hide it, it's clear

My world crumbles when you are not near

 

Goodbye and I choke

I try to walk away and I stumble

Though I try to hide it, it's clear

My world crumbles when you are not near

More hugs coming your way, Estee.  May you find strength and peace during your journey. :hug:

Hey, it's a good sign you're starting to feel a little sentimental.

Well, admittedly, the following songs I'm about to throw down are for superstitious reasons and, hey, I'm not even superstitious!

"Feeling The Pull" - The Swell Season

https://youtu.be/9aTL8nWNn3w

 

Well I'm heading back to pack a bag

To head out on the road

To take away what I know is mine

And I'm running down

And past the yellow house with Joe

Into the breeze where no one seems to care

 

And I'm feeling the pull

Dragging me off again

And I'm feeling so small

Against the sky tonight

 

Well stories of an open light

And every time we work ourselves up into a rage

We smash and grab and pull the handle

No one says but everybody

Wants to be the one just climbing out

 

And I'm feeling the pull

Dragging me off again

And I'm feeling so small

Against the big sky tonight

Tonight

 

And I'm feeling the pull

Dragging me off again

And I'm feeling so small

Against the big sky tonight

 

And I'm feeling the pull

Dragging me on again

And I'm feeling so small

Against that big moon in the sky tonight

Tonight

"Crystal Ball" - Keane

 

Who is the man I see

Where I'm supposed to be

I lost my heart, I buried it too deep

Under the iron sea

 

Oh, crystal ball, crystal ball

Save us all

Tell me life is beautiful

Mirror, mirror on the wall

 

Lines ever more unclear

Not sure I'm even here

The more I look the more it seems

That I'm starting to disappear

 

Oh, crystal ball, crystal ball

Save us all

Tell me life is beautiful

Mirror, mirror on the wall

Oh, crystal ball, hear my song

I'm fading out

Everything I know is wrong

So put me where I belong

 

I don't know where I am

And I don't really care

I look myself in the eye

There's no-one there

 

I fall upon the earth

I call upon the air

But all I get

Is the same old vacant stare

 

Oh, crystal ball, crystal ball

Save us all

Tell me life is beautiful

Mirror, mirror on the wall

Oh, crystal ball, hear my song

I'm fading out

Everything I know is wrong

So put me where I belong

"Broken (I'm Sorry)" - Madonna

https://youtu.be/onROMnjd7AA

 

Broken like a crooked smile

A little hunched over but I walked that mile

I've woken from a fuzzy dream

You never would believe the things that I have seen

 

Don't you feel sorry for me

Cause I'm right where the universe wants me to be

A lesson that I needed to learn

But that doesn't mean that it doesn't burn

 

Don't you feel sorry

Don't you feel sorry

Don't you feel sorry for me

Cause I won't change my story

Don't take all my glory

Don't you feel sorry for me

 

Tied up with leather and rope

A little bit of medicine to give me hope

I'm inky like a smoking gun

It's gonna take a while to heal the damage done

 

Don't you feel sorry for me

Cause I'm right where the universe wants me to be

A lesson that I needed to learn

But that doesn't mean that it doesn't burn

 

Don't you feel sorry

Don't you feel sorry

Don't you feel sorry for me

Cause I won't change my story

Don't take all my glory

Don't you feel sorry for me

 

A lesson that I needed to learn

No pain, no gain, no defective parts

No dirty business, no forgiveness

No broken heart

 

Don't you feel sorry

Don't you feel sorry

Don't you feel sorry for me

Cause I won't change my story

Don't take all my glory

Don't you feel sorry for me

"You Try" - Bonnie Tyler

https://youtu.be/M5RFxmNffpA

 

So you've had a run of bad luck

Keep sliding into brick walls

You're feeling like giving up

Because that mountain's just too tall

You feel so small like a grain of sand

And you think it's the end

 

[CHORUS:]

When you feel your faith is shaking

Your strength can pull you through

And your dreams are out there

Waiting for you to make a move

You got more than you think you've got

To reach that finish line

You get a little bit closer each time you try

 

That wheel won't spin itself

Like a train without a track

Sometimes faith needs a little help

To change the place you ride

Reach out and touch an angel's hand

Take a second chance

 

[CHORUS]

 

You can, yeah, you can

You will, yes, you will

You'll fly, yeah, you'll fly

You can touch the sky

Yeah

 

When you feel your faith is shaking

Your strength can pull you through

And your dreams are out there

Waiting for you to make a move

You got more than you think you've got

To reach that finish line

You get a little bit closer each time you try

"Moon and Back" - Alice Kristiansen

https://youtu.be/hxlEKArkzcE

 

 

I'm talking in circles

Can't get out of my head

I cry at commercials

And I never make the bed

And I'm pulling your last thread

When I'm coming unraveled

 

Baby, to the moon and back

You still love me more than that

When my skies are grey

And my whole world is shaking

To the moon and back

You love me more than that

 

When you go quiet

And won't let your guard down

I hear through the silence

That you're trying to figure it out

You're trying to make me proud

Believe me now

 

Baby, to the moon and back

I still love you more than that

When your skies are grey

And your whole world is shaking

To the moon and back

I love you more than that

 

We may fall

But we'll keep on going

We may break

But we won't stay broken

Through the cracks in the road

The flowers grow

 

If all you see

Are storm clouds forming

And the sun won't rise

In the morning

You should know

 

Baby, to the moon and back

I will love you more than that

When your skies are grey

And your whole world is shaking

To the moon and back

I'll love you more than that

 

To the moon and back

I love you more than that

Great selection, abcd Very uplifting. I love Bonnie Tyler's voice. "Total Eclipse of the Heart" is my fav song by her.

 

So you say it's better to be sentimental than cynical. Maybe it's best to be stoical

 

Got nothing positive to post today. Won't ruin your thread by my internal demons.

 

Yeah, strength and peace is what I need most.

 

Many hugs.

"I can very well do without God both in my life and in my painting, but I cannot, suffering as I am, do without something which is greater than I am, which is my life, the power to create." [Vincent Van Gogh, 1853-1890]

 

"My goal is to be one with the music. I just dedicate my whole life to this art." [Jimi Hendrix, 1942-1970]

Thanks, Estee, I think that's probably the first Jimi Hendrix tune to hit this thread!

I'm glad you're also finding music so therapeutic.

Great medicine, good for the soul!

Still burning that midnight lamp, abcd. Almost 6 a.m. CET here. Jimi Hendrix is my fav guitarist of all time. It's tragic he paid with his life for his talent. He died well before I was born. But have listened to him since a very young age. I'll probably post some more. But each of his songs is unique. There will never be another Jimi Hendrix.

"Sorrow"- Pink Floyd

 

The sweet smell of a great sorrow

Lies over the land

Plumes of smoke rise and merge

Into the leaden sky

 

A man lies and dreams

Of green fields and rivers

But awakes to a morning

With no reason for waking

 

He's haunted by the memory

Of a lost paradise

In his youth or a dream

He can't be precise

 

He's chained forever

To a world that's departed

It's not enough

It's not enough

 

His blood has frozen

And curdled with fright

His knees have trembled

And given way in the night

His hand has weakened

At the moment of truth

His step has faltered

 

One world

One soul

Time pass

River roll

 

He talks to the river

Of lost love and dedication

And silent replies

That swirl invitation

Flow dark and troubled

To an oily sea

A grim intimation of what is to be

 

There's an unceasing wind

That blows through this night

And there's dust in my eyes

That blinds my sight

And silence that speaks

So much louder than words

Of promises broken

[[...]]

"Everything Must Change" - Beth Hart

 

Everything has changed

The sky don't shine or rain

Stars don't walk me home

So I go this road alone

 

But everything will turn

When the heroes feel the burn

And the outlaw speaks the truth

I was braver in my youth

 

No, I'm not the same

But everything must change

 

Everyone is gone

The dogs don't get along

Cracks run through the wood

Can't live here no one could

 

But everyone will come

With dreams and things they've won

Little women start to dance

Broken men get a second chance

 

No one is the same

But everything must change

 

I just wanna go, I just wanna go

Go outside and run

I just wanna be, I just wanna see

Before it's all said and done

I can't wait no longer, longer, longer

 

Where is all the love

Round here we all look up

And the love runs over the edge

I just need a friend

 

Then everywhere there's light

When the dying start to fight

And the ashes blow away

It's the most beautiful day

 

When it's time to say goodbye

Sweet mother don't you cry

There'll be no more pain

Cause everything must change

 

Everything must change

Everything must change

"Lullaby" - Nickelback

 

Oh, I know the feeling

Of finding yourself stuck out on the ledge

And there ain't no healing

From cutting yourself with the jagged edge

 

I'm telling you that it's never that bad

And take it from someone who's been where you're at

You're laid out on the floor and you're not sure

You can take this anymore

 

[CHORUS:]

So just give it one more try

With a lullaby

And turn this up on the radio

If you can hear me now

I'm reaching out to let you know

That you're not alone

And you can't tell I'm scared as hell

Cause I can't get you on the telephone

So just close your eyes

Well, honey, here comes a lullaby

Your very own lullaby

 

Please let me take you

Out of the darkness and into the light

Cause I have faith in you

That you're gonna make it through another night

 

Stop thinking about the easy way out

There's no need to go and blow the candle out

Because you're not done, you're far too young

And the best is yet to come

 

[CHORUS:]

 

Well, everybody's hit the bottom

And everybody's been forgotten

Well, everybody's tired of being alone

Yeah, everybody's been abandoned

And left a little empty handed

So if you're out there barely hanging on

 

Just give it one more try

With a lullaby

And turn this up on the radio

If you can hear me now

I'm reaching out to let you know

That you're not alone

 

And you can't tell, I'm scared as hell

Cause I can't get you on the telephone

So just close your eyes

Oh, honey, here comes a lullaby

Your very own lullaby

Oh, honey, here comes a lullaby

Your very own lullaby

"Fly" - Avril Lavigne

 

There's a light inside of all of us

It's never hiding you just have to light it

It's the one thing that you gotta trust

It's like a diamond, you just have to find it

 

So if you ever feel like giving up

Yeah, just remember that

We were all meant to fly

 

[CHORUS:]

Spread your wings across the universe

It's your time to, it's your time to shine

There's a light inside of all of us

Soon you'll find that it's your time to fly

Your time to fly

 

A little help is all it ever takes

Somebody else to tell you it's worth fighting

A single step becomes a leap of faith

That's when you realize you started flying

 

So don't you ever say you're giving up

No, there's no looking back

Cause we were all meant to fly

 

[CHORUS]

 

Just reach up

Don't give up

Until you've touched the sky

Just reach up

Don't give up

Until you've realized

 

That we were all meant to fly

 

Spread your wings across the universe

It's your time to, it's your time to shine

There's a light inside of all of us

Soon you'll find that it's your time to fly, fly

It's your time to, it's your time to shine, shine

Soon, you'll find that it's your time to fly

 

Spread your wings across the universe

It's your time to, it's your time to shine

There's a light inside of all of us

Soon you'll find that it's your time to fly

Take me to another place, she said

Take me to another time

Run with me across the oceans

Float me on a silver cloud

 

[CHORUS:]

If I could I would

But I don't know how

If I could I would

But I don't know how

If I could I would

And I'd take you now

 

Stay with me till time turns over

I want to feel my feet leave the ground

Take me where the whispering breezes

Can lift me up and spin me around

 

[CHORUS]

 

Hear you laughing as we go 

Flipping backward through the doors

And through the windows

I'm melting into nothing

 

If I could I would

But I don't know how

If I could I would

But I don't know how

If I could I would

And I'd take you now

Rise up- andra day

 

Perfect song for this will send you into tears tho 

[[be...]]

I've always loved this song:

 

IMAGINE

John Lennon. I saw the original on my recent visit to the Rock Hall of Fame here in Cleveland.

 

 

Imagine there's no heaven

It's easy if you try

No hell below us

Above us only sky

Imagine all the people

Living for today... Aha-ah...

 

Imagine there's no countries

It isn't hard to do

Nothing to kill or die for

And no religion, too

Imagine all the people

Living life in peace... You...

 

You may say I'm a dreamer

But I'm not the only one

I hope someday you'll join us

And the world will be as one

 

Imagine no possessions

I wonder if you can

No need for greed or hunger

A brotherhood of man

Imagine all the people

Sharing all the world... You...

 

You may say I'm a dreamer

But I'm not the only one

I hope someday you'll join us

And the world will live as one
