OMFG, Shook, I swear I nearly spat at the computer screen.  I clicked on it expectantly, anticipating some profoundly meaningful song, thinking, hey, wish he'd added the lyrics ... etc, etc. ... and then ...

 

 

Got me good!!!  You're a riot ... but you already know that.

 

[[Lo...]]

Always loved this song. Probably their best.

[[Yo...]]

I've been wanting to do it for awhile. Today felt right.

Bob Mould - Hold On

 

 

Years of our lives

The time we invested

Wasted away in a cold sweat dream

 

Came home at night

And all of our light was gone

The missing pieces never fit all along

 

So hold on

Hold on

Hold on to me

Hold on

Hold on

Hold on to me

 

Lovers of mine

The friends I abandoned

It's how I replay my darkest fears

The fragments of time

Shadows and memories

They can't be saved, I watch them going out to sea

 

(Chorus)

 

Hold on to all my regret

It's all gone, I did this myself

Holding on's not as easy as it seems

When you don't believe

[[...]]

Always loved this song. Probably their best.

 

:D

 

 

Bob Mould - Hold On

*Perfect* lyrics!

Accidental find. Interesting 

 

Cymbals Eat Guitars - "Jackson"

 

 

You’re taking two Klonopin

So you can quit flipping

And face our friends

You dated the sainted dead

He ain’t nothing but a prayer card

Tacked up with my record jackets

We’re riding through Jackson pines

Towards Six Flags to wait in lines

Have our spines shook

And I’m shook

 

[Chorus]

Got the space sickness

While we wait on the weightlessness

A delirious kiss

And the feeling of falling in

 

Getting good at looking so in love

My eyes are unfocused

 

We're right back in Manalapan

Those rainbows of oil spin

On your former street

Are we more than meat?

Not a goddamn thing we could have said

To convince you

 

Now I dream in color of your face

And the coast in your mirror shades

Only feel relief when I’m back at home

Falling forward alone

 

[Chorus]

 

So there’s nothing to do when

It's a foregone conclusion

A pool overflowing and bursting

Come the f*** on

[Guitar solo]

 

I don’t wanna die

At the hands of the Jackson Whites

Let the warm air rush in

At the wreck up ahead

[[Yo...]]

I'm taking two Klonopin

And I'm Shook

 

[[Lo...]]

 

Toad the Wet Sprocket - Crowing

 

 

Been waiting

To find

You could've been happier

Given the time

If he'd make up his mind

You'd give yourself to anybody

Who would cross that line

 

And it was never a question

He was crowing for repair

You'd give him love and affection

But you couldn't keep him there

 

Get over

Regret

While you were sleeping with the angels

He was under the bed

And the more skin

That you shed

The more that the air in your throat will linger

When you call him your friend

 

And it was never a question

He was crowing for repair

You'd give him love and affection

But you couldn't keep him there

 

Staring at a cold little hand

Reading fault lines

Of a shell of a man

You were waiting for a word from above

Wouldn't you know it

No answer ever did come

 

And it was never a question

You were crowing for repair

You'd give him love and affection

You couldn't keep him there

[[be...]]

I'm taking two Klonopin

And I'm Shook

"Stone In My Pocket" - LIV ON

 

 

[CHORUS:]

There’s a stone in my pocket that bears your name

It feels like a locked up hurricane

There are tears that will not stop once they start

In the stone in the pocket of my heart

 

In a world here without you every day

I’m telling everybody that I’m okay

With the weight of an anchor in the dark

Like a stone in the pocket of my heart

 

I can’t break it, I can’t shake it

Looks like this pain is here to stay

I can’t lose it, I didn’t choose it

But God knows I can’t throw it away

 

[CHORUS]

 

Well meaning people they try to help me

They just can’t stand to see my pain

I’m not courageous, I’ve got to brave this

My life will never be the same

 

[CHORUS]

 

Got a tear in my jacket, a nail in my shoe

Got a hole in my soul you could drive a truck through

It’s a new kind of normal in an old shade of blue

I’m a mess but I guess that’s the best I can do

 

With a stone in my pocket that bears your name

And I walk around dragging this ball and chain

There are tears that will not stop once they start

In the stone in the pocket of my heart

 

There’s a stone in my pocket that bears your name

It feels like a locked up hurricane

There are tears that will not stop once they start

Baby, like it or not, gotta roll with the rock

It’s a stone in the pocket of my heart

"Song of Sorrow" - Elle King

 

Made my way to pastor man's hollow

Even though it was too soon

And all the king's men say there's no tomorrow

So I follow the sorrow song of the moon

 

[CHORUS:]

Scriptures singing man

I can't seem to find my way back home

It's been a hundred years

I've no idea which direction to go

 

This is my song of sorrow

This is my song of sorrow

This is my song of sorrow

 

Weak and wide-eyed my pride is swallowed

I'm begging for my heart's last beat

And I'm repaying all the time I've borrowed

So forever the sorrow song I sing

 

[CHORUS]

 

This is my song of sorrow

This is my song of sorrow

 

Song of sorrow

Song of sorrow

Song of sorrow

 

Scriptures singing man

I can't seem to find my way back home

It's been a hundred years

I've no idea which direction to go

(x2)

 

This is my song of sorrow

This is my song of sorrow

This is my song of sorrow

"I Fly Away" - Better Than Ezra

https://youtu.be/j4ee4xDbYns

 

And on the day that I was born

My mom and dad were overjoyed

They wrapped me in their arms

Took me home to meet my world

 

A painted room to call my own

A place where nothing could go wrong

Where they could build the borders

That I never would escape

But I don't need no one to break me out of here

 

[CHORUS:]

I fly away

When the world is burning down

I am up above the clouds

I fly away

Letting go and breathing in

I'll float into the golden heart of love again

I fly away, I fly away, I fly away

 

As adolescence waved goodbye

I searched the world behind my eyes

A permanent oasis

In the middle of a war

 

Now mom is taking happy pills

And dad is drowning in his bills

My sister went to rehab

For the third time in a year

But I don't need no pill to help me disappear

 

[CHORUS]

 

And if you believe

I'm less than I was meant to be

Don't be deceived

I'm hoping I was meant to be

Tell me you're wrong

 

And when you see the silent one

Know I am more than skin and bone

I am spirit, I am sound

I am floating off the ground

The ground, the ground

To fly alone

 

I fly away

When the world is burning down

I am up above the clouds

I fly away

Letting go and breathing in

 

I'll float into the golden heart of love again

I'll float into the golden heart of love again

"Go Where Your Heart Believes"

Chris de Burgh

 

Freedom calls

And in your heart you have been waiting

For this moment to come

Within these walls

You have heard words of inspiration

That have opened your eyes

 

I am old

But there's a wisdom that comes with years

You are young

And it's so easy when you have no fears

 

Go, go where your heart believes

Your memories are waiting

It's the only way to find out who you are

 

In this life

There is a road that you must follow

To the left or the right

One is wide but the other is hard and narrow

Take this one and you can call it your own

There will so many voices trying to turn you around

Take a moment just to listen then carry on

 

Go, go where your heart believes

Your memories are waiting

It's the only way to find out who you are

 

There will be times when you're lost and lonely

And you will have no-one beside you

And that is when you'll find the hidden one inside

Who will help you through

 

Go, go where your heart believes

Your memories are waiting

And your dreams are on their way

Go, go to your destiny

You know I will be with you every step of the way

Go

Freedom calls

Go where your heart believes

"As Long As There's You"

The Partridge Family

(RIP David Cassidy) :'(

 

http://www.giantpandaglobal.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/2011-04-30-Zoo-Madrid-Po-De-De-047-e1447827489207.jpg

 

When all my dreams are scattered to the wind

I'll begin again and you're the reason why

When all my friends no longer know my name

And say I'm not the same

I know that I'll get by

 

[CHORUS:]

As long as there's you

At the end of every road

To give me all your love

And a gentle hand to hold

As long as there's you

At the end of every night

To tell me it's all right

And shield me from the cold

I'll be strong and I'll be tall

There is nothing I can do

I may stumble I may fall

I won't care if there is you

At the end of it all

I won't care if there is you

At the end of it all

 

You are the sun that shines upon my face

And smiles upon my life in everything I do

So let the rain come pouring to the ground

Cause nothing gets me down

As long as there is you

 

[CHORUS:]

 

There is nothing I can do

I may stumble I may fall

I won't care if there is you

At the end of it all

At the end of it all

At the end of it all

BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER

 

 

When you're weary, feeling small

When tears are in your eyes, I'll dry them all (all)

I'm on your side, oh, when times get rough

And friends just can't be found

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will lay me down

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will lay me down

 

When you're down and out

When you're on the street

When evening falls so hard

I will comfort you (ooo)

I'll take your part, oh, when darkness comes

And pain is all around

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will lay me down

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will lay me down

 

Sail on silver girl

Sail on by

Your time has come to shine

All your dreams are on their way

See how they shine

Oh, if you need a friend

I'm sailing right behind

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will ease your mind

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will ease your mind

[[Yo...]]

BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER

 

 

 

I think this song has probably been posted more than any other song, and deservedly so, it has to be up there as one of the most beautiful tunes ever!  Thanks for the share, Betsy, hope you're doing okay? 

 

 

 

 

 

 

:D   Shook.  Shook, Shook, Shook, the incorrigible Shook, whatever are we going to do with you? 

(Sound like a little jingle somewhere in that line  )

[[Yo...]]

That song is super motivational, and really opened my eyes to how pandas live. Why won't anyone take me seriously...

"Please Read The Letter"

Robert Plant & Alison Krauss

 

Caught out running

With just a little too much to hide

Maybe, Baby

Everything's gonna turn out fine

 

Please read the letter

I mailed it to your door

It's crazy how it all turned out

We needed so much more

 

Once I stood beside the wall of many words

My house is full of rings

And charms and pretty birds

 

Please understand me

My walls came falling down

There's nothing here that's left for you

But check with lost and found

 

Please read the letter that I wrote

Please read the letter that I wrote

Please read the letter that I wrote

 

One more song just before we go

Remember, Baby

You gotta reap just what you sow

 

Please read my letter

And promise me you'll keep

The secrets and the memories

We cherish in the deep

 

Please read the letter

I mailed it to your door

It's crazy how it all turned out

We needed so much more

 

Please read the letter that I wrote

Please read the letter that I wrote

Please read the letter that I wrote

"Nightbird" - Stevie Nicks ft. Lori Nicks

https://youtu.be/GlPGy2x_lIY

 

And the summer became the fall

I was not ready for the winter

But it makes no difference at all

Cause I wear boots all summer long

 

My eye make-up dark and it's careless

Same circles around my eyes

Sometimes the real color of my skin

Is my eyes without any shadow

 

And when I call

Will you walk gently through my shadow

The ones who sing at night

The ones who sing at night

The ones you dream of

The ones who walk away

With their capes pulled around them tight

Crying for the night

Cry for the nightbird tonight

 

The winter's really here now

And the blankets that I love

And sometimes I am surrounded

By too much love

 

And when I call

Will you walk gently through my shadow

The ones who sing at night

The ones who sing at night

The ones you dream of

The ones who walk away

With their capes pulled around them tight

Crying for the night

Cry for the nightbird tonight

(x2)

 

Through the dark and the net of the lace

Pulls back the net

And it's hard to see your face

Just like the white winged dove

And you feel the touch

The touch that you want so much

 

Yes, and when I call

You can walk gently through my shadow

Like the white winged dove

You'll see, you'll see

"Hard Promises To Keep"

 

Kimmie Rhodes & Willie Nelson                  Trisha Yearwood

            https://youtu.be/dZLBLIohI3Q             

 

 

I'm trying to believe in forever

I'm trying to believe

In the little jewel box life we lead

And, Babe, I get so close sometimes

But all I really know

Is I believe that we've been making

Hard promises to keep

 

You want me to believe in forever

Do you know how tight I'm holding

Just to keep my grip on yesterday

I'm trying hard to see

The pretty pictures that you paint for me

Do you know how tight I'm holding

To hard promises to keep

 

Promises are like little diamonds

Promises are like little hearts

You're meant to give away

I thought you'd want them back someday

I've kept them for you anyway

But I know when I've been given

Hard promises to keep

(x2)

 

And I know that I've been given

Hard promises to keep

[[...]]

"Heaven" - Bonnie Tyler

 

Here where we live

There is peace in this winter night

Pain has forever gone away

 

Oceans and winds are calm

And the sky's so bright

Come and stay beside me

Come and be my friend

 

Heaven

Has opened its arms above our heads

Let the sun shine upon our road

Let love be the guide along the way

Let the angels say hello

 

Far from the city lights

By an open fire

Come let's start again

Start all over again

 

Heaven

Has opened it's arms above our heads

Let the sun shine upon our road

Let love be the guide along the way

Let the angels say hello

(x3)

 

Let the angels say hello

Heaven

Turnover - Diazepam

 

 

I know you're probably sick

Of always sorting me out

It's like I've always got the taste

Of orange nails in my mouth

I know you've probably been exhausted

Cause I haven't slept a wink in a week

 

Your father doesn't like me

Cause I'm not into sports

And your mother won't approve

Because I'm not of the cross

I took an upper before your sister's wedding

Just to help me pretend

 

And I don't know what I need

I don't know if I'll be there for you

Down on your knees

I don't know if I'll be there for you

 

I know you always feel you're by yourself in the house

This is the only night this week I haven't slept on the couch

I hope you know it breaks my heart

That I'm the reason for your sleeping alone

 

Cause it was always a dream just to know you

Sometimes I find I can hardly speak your name

I know one day I'll come home and I'll find you

It's just a matter of time 'til you break from the strain

 

And I don't want to go outside

Don't want to make it home tonight

If it's not you in my heart

I don't want to carry it on

 

And I don't know what I need

(And I don't want to go outside)

I don't know if I'll be there for you

(Don't want to make it home tonight)

Down on your knees

(If it's not you in my heart)

I don't know if I'll be there for you

(I don't want to carry it on)

 

And I don't know what I need

(And I don't want to go outside)

I don't know if I'll be there for you

(Don't want to make it home tonight)

Down on your knees

(If it's not you in my heart)

I don't know if I'll be there for you

(I don't want to carry it on)
