[[Yo...]]

A little Bing before bed.

 

[[Yo...]]

Chills.

 

 

At Last - Etta James

 

 

 

 

At last

My love has come along

My lonely days are over

And life is like a song

 

At last

The skies above are blue

My heart was wrapped up in clover

The night I looked at you

 

I found a dream, that I could speak to

A dream that I can call my own

I found a thrill to press my cheek to

A thrill that I have never known

 

You smiled

Oh and then the spell was cast

And here we are in heaven

for you are mine...

At Last

 

[[...]]

A little Bing before bed.

 

 

       

 

 

 

Chills.

 

 

At Last - Etta James

 

 

 

Listening to it now, thanks, Shook!

"Fragile" - Alan Parsons

 

If you look behind the curtain

Of the velvet in your mind

There's a frame and the picture of a world

Sad virtues to fly in the rain

 

[CHORUS:]

And we see you in clouds

And we see you in dreams

And we curse you in color

And we blanket your screams

And the world is the reason

How fragile we are

How fragile we are

How fragile we are

 

It's a group of beggars

Dancing love and life

As though it's the last show

And the picture of a rich man

Who's poor from the things that he knows

 

[CHORUS]

 

And we see you in clouds

And we see you in dreams

And we curse you in color

And we blanket your screams

And the world is the reason

How fragile we are

How fragile we are

 

How fragile we are

How fragile we are

How fragile we are

"Human" - OneRepublic

https://youtu.be/LhYwtJQYdCs

 

Yesterday I talked to God

We had a conversation

Told him that I'm sorry I lost communication

But I just, I just needed some holy knees

 

I said the things that I've been trying

End up in frustration

Life ain't what it seems in any situation

Then he said, he said, he said the strangest thing

 

[CHORUS:]

He said, "How does it feel to be human

Cause some of the best plans you make get ruined

Do people curse you and flowers ain't blooming

How does it feel"

He said, "How does it feel to be human

If I could for one day I just might do it

Dance till the sun comes up to my music

How does it feel

How's it feel"

 

Yesterday I talked to God

We had a conversation

I asked him why this life is a crazy combination

Of numbers, numbers, numbers we can't read

 

Yeah, for sure I got some friends

But we got complications

Most of us are happy with some medication

But I could, I could really use some wings

 

[CHORUS]

 

How does it feel to be human

If I could for one day I just might do it

Dance till the sun comes up to my music

How does it feel

How's it feel

 

Just for one day

Just one day

 

How does it feel to be human

If I could for one day I just might do it

Dance till the sun comes up to my music

How does it feel

How's it feel

How's it feel

"Things I Don't Understand" - Renaissance

 

Changing moods and stranger feelings

In my dealings with the world

Faces that I've seen before

Am I sure or has my brain turned

 

Dreams and omens of my future

Like a sculpture's finely molded

Stars that guide my destiny

Tell me what I will be

A chart unfolded

 

Thinking about things I don't understand

Thinking about things I don't understand

 

Seems there's plans for everyone

The day will come and we will know

We all are tied in with each other

Everyone, brothers

One great flow

 

Thinking about things I don't understand

Thinking about things I don't understand

 

And in the morning of my time

I'll try to understand

I learn by what I find

And love you if I can

 

We don't need to know the answers

To hope and pray for peace

And each by what he can

To make us all complete

[[...]]

"On Top Of The World" - Jem

 

Too much information

Need to calm down

Let go, breathe in peace

Worry and anxious feelings

Need to close your eyes

Let go, breathe and release

 

All of a sudden the people

The talking, the telephone

All fades away

You visit a place

In a timeless dimension

Where all of your fears are at bay

 

You can fly away

Fly like a bird

Across the sky

Above the clouds so high

Moon and the stars 

Light up the sky

 

Presence fights illusion

It's not all as serious

As your mind wants you to think it is

Unsure of your future

Need to focus on what you want

And something will come your way

 

All of a sudden the negative voices

And weaknesses all fade away

You visit a place in a timeless dimension

Where all of your fears are at bay

 

You can fly away

Fly like a bird

Across the sky

Above the clouds so high

Moon and the stars

Light up the sky

 

Sun sets low across the bay

A beautiful light

Closes the day

You can visit anytime

It's always there

Just close your eyes

(x2)

"I Wish You Peace" - Eagles

 

 

I wish you peace

When the cold winds blow

Warmed by the fire's glow

I wish you comfort

In the lonely time

And arms to hold you

When you ache inside

 

I wish you hope

When things are going bad

Kind words

When times are sad

I wish you shelter

From the raging wind

Cooling waters at the fever's end

 

I wish you peace

When times are hard

A light to guide you

Through the dark

And when storms are high

And your dreams are low

I wish you the strength to let love grow

I wish you the strength to let love flow

 

I wish you peace

When times are hard

A light to guide you

Through the dark

And when storms are high

And your dreams are low

I wish you the strength to let love grow

I wish you the strength to let love flow

I wish you the strength to let love glow

I wish you the strength to let love grow

"Be OK" - Ingrid Michaelson

 

I just want to be okay

Be okay, be okay

I just want to be okay today

(x2)

 

And I just want to feel today

Feel today, feel today

I just want to feel something today

(x2)

 

Open me up and you will see

I'm a gallery of broken hearts

I'm beyond repair, let me be

And give me back my broken parts

 

Cause I just want to know today

Know today, know today

I just want to know something today

Cause I just want to know today

Know today, know today

Know that maybe I will be okay

 

Open me up and you will see

I'm a gallery of broken hearts

I'm beyond repair, let me be

And give me back my broken parts

 

Just give them back to me please

Just give me back my pieces

Just give them back to me please

And let me hold my broken parts

 

Cause I just want to be okay

Be okay, be okay

I just want to be okay today

(x2)

 

Cause I just want to feel today

Feel today, feel today

I just want to feel something today

I just want to know today

Know today, know today

Know that maybe I will be okay

 

Know that maybe I will be okay

Know that maybe I will be okay

 

 

Love this one, abcd. The music, lyrics, vid. Very moving. 10 a.m. CET here. Lots of sunshine.

 

"I just want to be okay today."

 

They lifted her up just like my AA friends and ex lifted me. And I was happy for 11 benzo-free years.

Many hugs ❤️

PLAY ON LOVE~~JEFFERSON STARSHIP

 

 

 

Now when you open your mouth, what comes out

What's the first word, what's the first line?

When you open your mouth and love comes out

Then you know, you just sang the clear line

I've heard people say it a thousand times

In a thousand different ways

I've heard people play it a thousand times

And they know, they know that's the only way

To play.

 

You got to

Play on love

Play on love

Play on love

Play on love.

 

 

Now are you talking about what it is you know

Or just repeating what it was you heard

Someone told you just exactly what to say

And you know, you know that's only one set

Of words

You got to play on love.

 

I've heard people say it a thousand times

In a thousand different ways

I've heard people play it a thousand times

And they know that's the only way to play

You been a reading it without living it

Now that's the golden prison we can always find

Living in stories and living in books or

We can live and leave all the stories behind.

 

 

It's up to you and it's up to me

Come down yelling timber through the

Burning trees

Who's been telling you about perfection

And how did he get in here, that's the question.

 

He must've

Played on love

Played on love

Played on love

Played on love.

 

I've heard people say it a thousand times

 

You got to

Play on love

Play on love

Play on love

Play on love.

 

Reading it without living it

 

You got to

Play on love

Play on love

Play on love

Play on love.

I don't think that kitten needs to take any benzos. lol. I have always like this old song.

 

It's Getting Better All the Time.~~Paul/Beatles. Live.

 

 

 

It's getting better all the time

 

I used to get mad at my school (No, I can't complain)

The teachers who taught me weren't cool (No, I can't complain)

You're holding me down

Turning me round

Filling me up with your rules

 

I've got to admit it's getting better (Better)

A little better all the time (It can't get no worse)

I have to admit it's getting better (Better)

It's getting better

Since you've been mine

 

Me used to be angry young man

Me hiding me head in the sand

You gave me the word, I finally heard

I'm doing the best that I can

 

 

I've got to admit it's getting better (Better)

A little better all the time (It can't get no worse)

I have to admit it's getting better (Better)

It's getting better

Since you've been mine

 

Getting so much better all the time!

 

It's getting better all the time

Better, better, better

It's getting better all the time

Better, better, better

 

I used to be cruel to my woman

I beat her and kept her apart from the things that she loved

Man, I was mean but I'm changing my scene

And I'm doing the best that I can (ooh)

Cool song, Bets Kitty sleeps all night beside my pillow and never wakes me up. She's always waiting for me to take my meds and supplements for sleep. Then she eats her dry food. She's probably thinking this stuff is my dry food, lol. She's so cuddlesome, soft and purring that it's difficult to get out of bed. Oh my, if I were to have another feline friend, it would be Grumpy Cat for sure...

One of mine hides in the cellar at night. The other one jumps on me in the middle of the night, and both pee on the new carpet. I wish I could let them outdoors but those Coyotes...........Means lunch for them!

[[be...]]

Thanks. But when we use that spray, they find a different place on the carpet. We clean their litter box out 3X a day so it doesn't smell and it is large and wide open. My mom is beyond herself. Back to topic!

Terribly sorry, abcd... I love cats so much. May I leave the Grumpy Cat at least? Please... I'll never drift off-topic again. I promise. I am just so tired. Should have sent Bets a PM.

Okaaayyy then, I'll allow just that one!  Hope you'll manage some good sleep, Estee.  Hugs.

Thank you, abcd. You're always so kind. I love Grumpy Cat. I love all cats.

Love this song. Will add lyrics for non-native speakers of English. Like me.

RIP Michael Hutchence (22 Jan. 1960 - 22 Nov. 1997). Your music will live forever.

 

Sorry you missed the cat discussion, Shook. I'm usually here for any cat related issues. Wish I could see Minya. Teal is too greenish for me. We all have different taste in colours. Is orange better than pink? Gosh, how absurd can it become. Form vs. matter. Plus pure OCD.

"Bound To Fall" - Stephen Stills (Manassas)

https://youtu.be/TdeEeWf-Cmo

 

Just as everything's going fine

Lose my grip and slide

Bounce the rock and catch the ball

Bound to fall

 

Fall, stumble and toe the line

See my face and hide

Catch the tears I've cried

 

From reality it seems I've strayed

Tired of all the silly games I play

Da da da da

Da da da da

From reality it seems I've strayed

Tired of all the silly games I play

 

Just as everything's going fine

See my life in rhyme

Hear my hand slip from the wall

Bound to fall

 

Fall, stumble and reaching blind

Oh, how hard I've tried

Possibly I've died

[[...]]

"I Lost Something In The Hills" - Sibylle Baier

 

Every time I shed tears

In the last past years

When I pass through the hills

Oh, what images return

Oh, I yearn

For the roots of the woods

That origin of

All my strong and strange moods

 

I lost something in the hills

I lost something in the hills

 

I grew up in declivities

Others grow up in cities

Where first love and soul takes rise

There were times in my life

When I felt mad and deprived

And only the slopes gave me hope

 

When I pass through the leg high grass

I shall die

Under the jasmine

I shall die

In the elder tree

I need not try

To prepare for a new coming day

Where is it that fills the deepness I feel

 

You will say I'm not Robin the Hood

But how could I hide from top to food

That I lost something in the hills

I lost something in the hills

Oh, I lost something in the hills

 

Now I lean on my window sill

And I cry though it's silly

And I'm dreaming of off and away

Oh, I know farther west these hills exist

Marked by apple trees

Marked by a straight brook

That leads me wherever I want it to

 

Well, I lost something in the hills

I lost something in the hills

Oh, I lost something in the hills

"Code of Silence" - Billy Joel ft. Cyndi Lauper

 

Everybody’s got a million questions

Everybody wants to know the score

What you went through

It’s something you should be over now

 

Everybody wants to hear the secrets

That you never told a soul before

And it’s not that strange

Cause it wouldn’t change what happened anyhow

 

But you swore to yourself a long time ago

There were some things that people never needed to know

This is one that you keep that you bury so deep

No one can tear it out

 

[CHORUS:]

And you can’t talk about it

Cause you’re following the code of silence

You’re never gonna lose the anger

You just deal with it a different way

And you can’t talk about it

And isn’t that a kind of madness

To be living by a code of silence

When you’ve really got a lot to say

 

You don’t want to lose a friendship

There’s nothing that you have to hide

And a little dirt couldn’t hurt no one anyway

And you still have a rage inside you

That you carry with a certain pride

In the only part of a broken heart

That you could ever save

 

But you’ve been through it once

You know how it ends

You don’t see the point of going through it again

And this ain’t the place and this ain’t the time

And neither’s any other day

 

[CHORUS]

 

I know you well enough to tell you’ve got your reasons

That’s not the kind of code you’re inclined to break

Some things unknown are best left alone forever

And if a vow is what it takes

Haven’t you paid for your mistakes

 

After the moment passes

And the impulse disappears

You can still hold back

Cause you don’t crack very easily

 

It’s a time honored resolution

Cause the danger is always near

It’s with you now

But that ain’t how it was supposed to be

 

It’s hard to believe after all these years

That it still gives you pain and it still brings tears

And you feel like a fool cause in spite of your rules

You’ve got a memory

 

But you can’t talk about it

Because you’re following the code of silence

You’re never gonna lose the anger

You just deal with it a different way

But you can’t talk about it

And isn’t that a kind of madness

To be living by a code of silence

When you’ve really got a lot to say

"Open Your Eyes, You Can Fly"

 

Vanessa Williams

https://youtu.be/p5VdQ3STsGo

 

Lizz Wright

 

Change

Put a period in your life and make a fresh start

Exercise your mind and open up your heart

Think of all the things that you may want to do

And throw out your old clothes that make you dreary

And dress up in something new

Focus on the future and stop turning to look back

Pack your bags and board a train traveling on a different track

Don't be afraid to take the chance to make a different turn

Just imagine all that lays ahead and the opportunities to know

Step out in front and pick up the pace

Smooth the wrinkles in your brow and put a smile on your face

 

Never be afraid to love

Never be afraid to just be

Just cast away the chains of doubt

Have the courage to be free

 

Don't cloud your eyes with other's lies

See only what you want to see

Just duplicate the simple truth

Have the courage to be free

 

[CHORUS:]

Open your eyes you can fly

Open your eyes you can fly

You can fly, you can fly

 

Never be afraid to love

Never be afraid to just be

Cast away the chains of doubt

Have the courage to be free

 

[CHORUS] x2

 

Remember

You can't wait for others to applaud what you're doing

So just congratulate yourself and start something new

 

Open your eyes you can fly

Open your eyes you can fly

You can fly, you can fly

Open your eyes you can fly

Open your eyes you can fly

You can fly, you can fly
