” Strong”

London Grammar

 

https://youtu.be/weLiBiebD_s

 

"Strong"

 

Excuse me for a while

While I'm wide-eyed

And I'm so damn caught in the middle

I've excused you for a while

While I'm wide-eyed

And I'm so damn caught in the middle

 

And a lion, a lion roars would you not listen?

If a child, a child cries would you not forgive them?

 

Yeah, I might seem so strong

Yeah, I might speak so long

I've never been so wrong

Yeah, I might seem so strong

Yeah, I might speak so long

I've never been so wrong

 

Excuse me for a while,

Turn a blind eye

With a stare caught right in the middle

Have you wondered for a while

I have a feeling deep down

You're caught in the middle?

 

If a lion, a lion roars would you not listen?

If a child, a child cries would you not forgive them?

 

Yeah, I might seem so strong

Yeah, I might speak so long

Might never been so wrong

Yeah, I might seem so strong

Yeah, I might speak so long

Might never been so wrong

 

Excuse me for a while

While I'm wide-eyed

And I'm so damn caught in the middle

Have you wondered for a while

I have a feeling deep down?

You're caught in the middle

 

Yeah, I might seem so strong

Yeah, I might speak so long

Might never been so wrong

Yeah, I might seem so strong

Yeah, I might speak so long

Might never been so wrong

” It’s Happening Again”

Agnes Obel

 

 

 

"It's Happening Again"

 

I swear it is true

The past isn't dead

It's alive, it is happening

In the back of my head

 

No future, no past

No laws of time

Can undo what is happening

When I close my eyes

And with the stars and the moon

I woke up in the night

 

In the same place

To save me for my eyes

It's happening, it's happening, it's happening again

It's happening, it's happening, it's happening again

 

I took a day or two

To exile from the light

To unfold that prisoner

They call a mind

 

And for a brief moment

We could stop the time

But with the stars and the moon

I woke up in the night

 

In the same place, it was sailing before my eyes

It's happening, it's happening, it's happening again

” Weary Blues”

Madeleine Peyroux

 

 

 

"Weary Blues"

 

Weary blues from waitin'

Lord, I've been waitin' so long

These blues have got me cryin'

Oh, sweet daddy please come home

 

The snow falls 'round my window

But it can't chill my heart

God knows it died the day you left

My dream world fell apart.

 

Weary blues from waitin'

Lord, I've been waitin' so long

These blues have got me cryin'

Oh, sweet daddy please come home

Oh, sweet daddy please come home

 

Through tears I watch young lovers

As they go strollin' by

And all the things that might have been

God forgive me if I cry

 

Weary blues from waitin'

Lord, I've been waitin' so long

These blues have got me cryin'

Oh, sweet daddy please come home

Oh, sweet daddy please come home

 

❤️

” No One’s Gonna Love You”

Band Of Horses

 

 

"No One's Gonna Love You"

 

It's looking like a limb torn off

Or altogether just taken apart

We're reeling through an endless fog

We are the ever-living ghost of what once was

 

But no one is ever gonna love you more than I do

No one's gonna love you more than I do

 

And anything to make you smile

It is a better side of you to admire

But they should never take so long

Just to be over then back to another one

 

And no one is ever gonna love you more than I do

No one's gonna love you more than I do

 

But someone,

They could have warned you

When things start splitting at the seams and now

The whole thing's tumbling down

Things start splitting at the seams and now

If things start splitting at the seams and now

It's tumbling down

Hard

 

And anything to make you smile

You are the ever-living ghost of what once was

I never want to hear you say

That you'd be better off

Or you'd like it that way

 

And no one is ever gonna love you more than I do

No one's gonna love you more than I do

 

But someone

They should have warned you

When things start splitting at the seams and now

The whole thing's tumbling down

Things start splitting at the seams and now

If things start splitting at the seams and now

It's tumbling down

Hard

 

❤️❤️❤️

Julianna Hatfield - Such a Beautiful Girl

 

 

She writes songs at night after everyone has turned out the lights

Though she's still young she's had a hard life

But she's not giving up believing in fate

And it makes a person strong being alone for so long

 

The family home, it's like living in a war zone

Holes are punched in walls but no one seems to care at all

 

She's such a beautiful girl and she lives in an ugly world

She's such a beautiful girl and she lives in an ugly world

 

They wanna knock that smile off her face

So she shuts her door and she writes and dreams

It's her favorite escape

And she knows it can only get better so with patience she waits

 

No one ever had her back, they only laugh

When she cries but in God's eyes

 

She's such a beautiful girl and she lives in an ugly world

And she's such a beautiful girl and she lives in an ugly world

 

They wanna knock that smile off her face

So she shuts her door and she writes and dreams

It's her favorite escape

And she knows it can only get better and with patience she waits

 

She's such a beautiful girl but she lives in an ugly world

She's such a beautiful girl but she lives in an ugly world

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful

 

They wanna knock that smile off her face

So she shuts her door and she writes and dreams

It's her favorite escape

"Heavy" - Linkin Park (feat. Kiiara)

 

I don't like my mind right now

Stacking up problems that are so unnecessary

Wish that I could slow things down

I wanna let go but there's comfort in the panic

 

And I drive myself crazy

Thinking everything's about me

Yeah I drive myself crazy

Cause I can't escape the gravity

 

[CHORUS:]

I'm holding on

Why is everything so heavy

Holding on

To so much more than I can carry

I keep dragging around what's bringing me down

If I just let go I'd be set free

Holding on

Why is everything so heavy

 

You say that I'm paranoid

But I'm pretty sure the world is out to get me

It's not like I make the choice

To let my mind stay so f** messy

 

I know I'm not the center of the universe

But you keep spinning round me just the same

I know I'm not the center of the universe

But you keep spinning round me just the same

 

[CHORUS]

 

I know I'm not the center of the universe

But you keep spinning round me just the same

I know I'm not the center of the universe

But you keep spinning round me just the same

 

And I drive myself crazy

Thinking everything's about me

 

I'm holding on

Why is everything so heavy

Holding on

To so much more than I can carry

I keep dragging around what's bringing me down

If I just let go I'd be set free

Holding on

Why is everything so heavy

 

Why is everything so heavy

Why is everything so heavy

"The Show Goes On"

Bruce Hornsby & the Range

 

What's the long face

What's all the crying for

Didn't you expect it

When you opened your door

 

To the man with the long coat

With the long list of victims

Everybody watching knows

He's the one keeping the score

 

From where she sits

Everyone stands in judgment

People watching as the curtain falls down

See the lights do a long slow fade

 

[CHORUS:]

The show goes on

And the sad-eyed sisters go walking on

Everyone watching all along

The show goes on

As the autumn's coming

And the summer's all gone

Still without you the show goes on

 

Some say she's alright

Some say she'll never learn

Some rush into things

Some stand and wait their turn

 

I've been here all along

Standing here all this time

What you never noticed

Is that the same tired flames burn

 

From where I sit

Everyone stands in judgment

Everybody watching as the curtain falls down

Watching the lights do a long slow fade

 

[CHORUS]

 

Time is passing

Slowly passing you by

You better try to find it

Before it passes you by

 

As I watch you walking

To another cold dawn

And you keep on walking

And they keep on talking, talking all along

 

From where you sit

Everyone stands in judgment

Everybody watching as the curtain falls down

See the lights do a long slow fade

 

The show goes on

And the sad-eyed sisters go walking on

Everyone watching all along

The show goes on

As the autumn's coming

And the summer's all gone

Still without you the show goes on

 

Oh the summer's all gone

Still without you the show goes on

"Far and Wide" - Ruth Moody

 

When I die

Let me be a bird

So I can fly

Far from this world

I'll fly so high

When I die

Let me be a bird

 

And when I die

Let there be a home

That's warm and dry

That I can call my own

Big enough to share

When I get there

Let there be a home

 

Ooh, when I die

Let me be a bird

Ooh, when I die

Let there be a home

 

While I'm alive

Let there be peace

Let these cries

Of anger cease

Far and wide

Before I die

Let there be peace

 

Ooh, when I die

Let me be a bird

Ooh, when I die

Let there be a home

 

Ooh, while I'm alive

Let there be peace

Far and wide

Before I die

Let there be peace

"Someday We'll All Be Free"

 

Donny Hathaway

https://youtu.be/InK5wCf34CI

 

Deniece Williams

 

Hang on to the world

As it spins around

Just don't let the spin get you down

Things are moving fast

Hold on tight and you will last

 

Give yourself respect

Just keep your pride

Get yourself in gear, keep your stride

Never mind your fears

Brighter days will soon be here

 

Take it from me

Someday we'll all be free

 

Keep on walking tall

Hold your head up high

Lay your dreams right up to the sky

Sing your greatest songs

And you'll keep going, going on

 

Take it from me

Someday we'll all be free

Hey, just wait and see

Someday we'll all be free, yeah

 

Take it from me

Someday we'll all be free

It won't be long

Take it from me

Someday we'll all be free

"These Walls" -  Heather Nova

 

 

In your heart there are oceans

In your heart there are flowering trees

Look inside, it lives inside these walls

Your body is

 

In your dreams you've seen castles

In your dreams you've been kings and queens

You've ridden white horses past these walls

Your body is

 

And I am not one to say

I know what you're going through

I only wanna open wide the window

And let sunlight through for you

 

In your face I see longing

In your face I see hopes and fears

And you've been locked for too long behind these walls

Your body is

 

And I am not one to say

I know what you're going through

I only wanna open wide the window

And let sunlight through for you

 

Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me

What you feel

Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me

What you need

Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me

Everything

 

Take my hand and I'll lead you

Take my word that I'll not deceive you

I only want to carry you on beyond these walls

Your body is

 

And I am not one to say

I know what you're going through

I only wanna open wide the window

And let sunlight through for you

Longwave - There's A Fire

 

 

There's a fire and all the lines are down, there's a panic in the town

And all the wires are crossed, now they're calling in the dark

And the teeth shine like pearls in a witchy underworld

And they all feed the flames when they're moving in

 

And everyone knows your name, in the dark it's all the same

When you're done down in the black, and you want to take to take it back

Yeah, you want to take it back

 

There's a fire, and all the lights are out, there's strange noise about

Now it's happened all around, buildings burned to the ground

Now the flames have reached the heart, people spilling out in cars

And they all feel the flames when they're moving in

 

And everyone knows your name, in the dark it's all the same

When you're done down in the black, and you want to take to take it back

Yeah, you want to take it back

Everyone knows your name, in the dark it's all the same

And when you're done down in the black, and you want to take it back

 

There's a fire, and all the lines are down, there's a panic in the town

But the worst is almost passed, now the dogs are gone at last

And the teeth shine like pearls in a witchy underworld

And they wanna point the blame, you can hear them saying

 

And everyone knows your name, in the end it's all the same

Whether you're dancing in the light or crawling on all fours

In the end it's all the same when there's no one left to blame

And you're done down in the black, and you want to take it back

Yeah, you want to take it back

Gin Blossoms - Lost Horizons  (R.I.P. Doug)

 

 

The last horizons I can see

Are filled with bars and factories

And in them all we fight to stay awake

 

Drink enough of anything

To make this world look new again

Drunk, drunk, drunk in the gardens and the graves

 

She had nothing left to say

So she said she loved me

I stood there grateful for the lie

 

Drink enough of anything

To make this girl look new again

Drunk, drunk, drunk in the gardens and the graves

 

Turn summer trees to bones and ice

Turn insect songs against the night

With words we build and words we break

I'm drunk, drunk, drunk in the gardens and the graves

 

The last horizons I can see

Are now resigned to memories

I never thought I'd still be here today

 

Drink enough of anything

To make myself look new again

Drunk, drunk, drunk, in the gardens and the graves

[[Lo...]]

Gin Blossoms - Hold Me Down

 

https://youtu.be/vKk9xEQv08Q

 

So I guess I must have just been dreaming

When I thought I heard myself say no

Anyway it looks like no one heard me so here I go

 

Cause when you're in the company of strangers

Or just the strangers you call friends

You know before you start just how it's going to end

 

When the doors swing open and all the drinks are passed around

Anytime the pickins look too easy...hold me down

 

I can't remember why I like this feeling

When it only seems to let me down

Soon I find I'm searching for the exit from the ground

 

If I think the room is turning faster

Then I think the music is too loud

By then I've lived another broken story to let me down

 

When those doors swing open and all the drinks are passed around

When half the party moves into the bathroom...hold me down

Or if you're at the tail end of the evening

And Dr. Feelgood comes around

Anytime the pickins look too easy...hold me down

Down if I want that part

Down if I've gone too far

 

Well I guess I must have just been reeling

When I felt myself begin to fall

I realize I'm bounding down the hallways and off the walls

 

If my bed was standing in the corner

I could just fall into it right now

And know that I'd just be staring at the ceiling going round

 

When those doors swing open and all the drinks are passed around

Anytime the pickins look too easy...hold me down

Eminem - Deja Vu

 

 

[intro]

DMC, we have a mid-thirties male found down, unresponsive

Possible overdose, substance unknown

Pulse is 60 and thready, respiration's eight

He's intubated and we're bagging him now

Uh, BP 90 over palp, patient is cool, pale, and diaphoretic

Has aspirated, uh, GSC is 3

Will update en route, ETA ten minutes

 

[Verse 1]

As I fall deeper into a manic state

I'm a prime candidate for the gene to receive the drug addict trait

Blood pressure climbs at a dramatic rate

I seem to gravitate to the bottle of NyQuil then I salivate

Start off with the NyQuil, like, I think I'll just have a taste

Couple of sips of that then I gradually graduate

To a harder prescription drug called Valium, like, yeah that's great

I go to just take one and I end up like having eight

Now I need something in my stomach 'cause I haven't ate

Maybe I'll grab a plate of nachos and I'll have a steak

And you'd think that with all I have at stake

Look at my daughter's face

"Mommy, something is wrong with Dad I think

He's acting weird again, he's really beginning to scare me

Won't shave his beard again and he pretends he doesn't hear me

And all he does is eat Doritos and Cheetos

And he just fell asleep in his car eating 3 Musketeers in the rear seat"

 

[Chorus]

Sometimes I feel so alone, I just don't know

Feels like I been down this road before

So lonely and cold, it's like something takes over me

As soon as I go home and close the door

Kinda feels like déjà vu

I wanna get away from this place, I do

But I can't and I won't, say I try, but I know that's a lie

'Cause I don't and why, I just don't know

 

[Verse 2]

"Maybe just a nice cold brew, what's a beer?"

That's the devil in my ear, I've been sober a fuckin' year

And that fucker still talks to me, he's all I can fucking hear

"Marshall, come on, we'll watch the game

It's the Cowboys and Buccaneers"

And maybe if I just drink half, I'll be half-buzzed

For half of the time; Who's the mastermind behind that little line?

With that kind of rationale, man, I got half a mind

To have another half a glass of wine, sounds asinine

Yeah, I know, but I never had no problem with alcohol

Ouch, look out for the wall, aim for the couch, I'm 'bout to fall

I miss the couch and down I go, lookin' like a bouncy ball

Shit must've knocked me out 'cause I ain't feel the ground at all

Wow, what the fuck happened last night? Where am I?

Man, fuck, am I hungover, and goddamn, I

Got a headache, shit, half a Vicodin, why can't I?

All systems ready for take off, please stand by

 

[Chorus]

Sometimes I feel so alone, I just don't know

Feels like I been down this road before

So lonely and cold, it's like something takes over me

As soon as I go home and close the door

Kinda feels like déjà vu

I wanna get away from this place, I do

But I can't and I won't, say I try, but I know that's a lie

'Cause I don't and why, I just don't know

 

[Verse 3]

So I take a Vicodin, splash, it hits my stomach, then "Ahhh"

Couple of weeks go by, it ain't even like I'm gettin' high

Now I need it just not to feel sick, yeah, I'm gettin' by

Wouldn't even be taking this shit if DeShaun didn't die

Oh yeah, there's an excuse; you lose Proof so you use

There's new rules, it's cool if it's helpin' you to get through

It's twelve noon, ain't no harm in self-inducin' a snooze

What else is new? Fuck it, what would Elvis do in your shoes?

Now here I am three months later, full-blown relapse

"Just get high until the kids get home from school, homes, relax"

And since I'm convinced that I'm an insomniac

I need these pills to be able to sleep, so I take three naps

Just to be able to function throughout the day, let's see

That's an Ambien each nap, how many Valium? Three

And that will average out to about one good hour's sleep

Okay, so now ya see the reason how come he

Has taken four years to just put out an album, B

See, me and you, we almost had the same outcome, Heath

'Cause that Christmas, you know the whole pneumonia thing?

It was bologna, was it the methadone, ya think?

Or the hydrocodone you hide inside your pornos?

Your VCR tape cases, with your Ambien CR

Great places to hide 'em, ain't it? So you can lie to Hailie

I'm going beddy-bye, Whitney, baby; good night, Alaina!

Go in the room and shut the bedroom door

And wake up in an ambulance

They said they found me on the bathroom floor, damn

 

[Chorus]

Sometimes I feel so alone, I just don't know

Feels like I been down this road before

So lonely and cold, it's like something takes over me

As soon as I go home and close the door

Kinda feels like déjà vu

I wanna get away from this place, I do

But I can't and I won't, say I try, but I know that's a lie

'Cause I don't and why, I just don't know

Nine Inch Nails - Hurt

 

https://youtu.be/kPz21cDK7dg

 

[intro]

I hurt myself today

To see if I still feel

I focus on the pain

The only thing that's real

The needle tears a hole

The old familiar sting

Try to kill it all away

But I remember everything

 

[Chorus]

What have I become?

My sweetest friend

Everyone I know

Goes away in the end

You could have it all

My empire of dirt

I will let you down

I will make you hurt

 

[Verse 2]

I wear this crown of shit

Upon my liar's chair

Full of broken thoughts

I cannot repair

Beneath the stain of time

The feelings disappear

You are someone else

I am still right here

 

[Chorus]

What have I become?

My sweetest friend

Everyone I know

Goes away in the end

You could have it all

My empire of dirt

I will let you down

I will make you hurt

 

[Outro]

If I could start again

A million miles away

I would keep myself

I would find a way

Eurythmics - A Miracle Of Love

 

https://youtu.be/p4ZYp9HZe2o

 

How many sorrows

Do you try to hide

In a world of illusion

That's covering your mind?

 

I'll show you something good

Oh, I'll show you something good

 

When you open your mind

You'll discover the sign

That there's something you're longing to find

 

The miracle of love

Will take away your pain

When the miracle of love

Comes your way again

 

Cruel is the night

That covers up your fears

Tender is the one

That wipes away your tears

 

There must be a bitter breeze

To make you sting so viciously

They say the greatest coward

Can hurt the most ferociously

 

But I'll show you something good

Oh, I'll show you something good

 

If you open your heart

You can make a new start

When your crumbling world falls apart

 

The miracle of love

Will take away your pain

When the miracle of love

Comes your way again

 

The miracle of love (must take a miracle)

Will take away your pain (must take a miracle)

When the miracle of love (must take a miracle)

Comes your way again (must take a miracle)

 

The miracle of love

Will take away your pain

When the miracle of love

Comes your way again

 

The miracle of love

Will take away your pain

When the miracle of love

Comes your way again

 

The miracle of love (must take a miracle)

Will take away your pain (must take a miracle)

When the miracle of love (must take a miracle)

Comes your way again (must take a miracle)

 

The miracle of love (must take a miracle)

Will take away your pain (must take a miracle)

When the miracle of love (must take a miracle)

Comes your way again (must take a miracle)

 

The miracle of love (must take a miracle)

Will take away your pain (must take a miracle)

When the miracle of love (must take a miracle)

Comes your way again (must take a miracle)

The Pain of Being Pure At Heart - Even In Dreams

 

 

You can drive around all night

With the radio on high

And wonder what it's like to be liked

And never feel out of time

 

You’re not the only one, you’re just my only one

 

Even in dreams I could not betray you (x2)

 

If I could shut my eyes

And disconnect my mind

There’s just one thought I’d think

I’d think it all the time

 

Cuz there’s nobody like you

Is that why they don’t like you?

You are cold and dead to their jokes

 

Yeah, there’s nobody like you

Is that why they don’t like you

Like I do?

 

And I do
