The Pain of Being Pure At Heart

 

 

Come on down

The furthest reaches of your nowhere town

They suck you in

The black hole kids won't let you free again

 

Don't you try to shoot up the sky, to shoot up the sky

Tonight we'll stay alive

Don't you try to shoot up the sky, to shoot up the sky

Tonight we'll stay alive

 

When it's gone

You sit and stare until the golden dawn

Can't you see?

His arms are hell and you won't ever leave

 

Don't you try to shoot up the sky, to shoot up the sky

Tonight we'll stay alive

Don't you try to shoot up the sky, to shoot up the sky

Tonight we'll stay alive

Then I spoke, not out of turn

But more out of hope that he would learn

My feelings for you

But my failing to

 

I didn't want to

I didn't need to

I didn't have to

I didn't mean to

 

But being human is just no excuse

For my hideous abuse of your love

Of your love

 

I want to touch you

So very much

But you don't hold that trust

You don't believe in us

 

I didn't want to

I didn't need to

I didn't have to

I didn't mean to

 

But being human is just no excuse

For my hideous abuse of your love

Of your love

 

I know I'm imperfect

I'm not just saying it for the fact

I don't want to sacrifice the only thing I've cared for in my life

Julia Michaels - Issues

 

I'm jealous, I'm overzealous

When I'm down, I get real down

When I'm high, I don't come down

I get angry, baby, believe me

I could love you just like that

And I could leave you just this fast

But you don't judge me

'Cause if you did, baby, I would judge you too

No, you don't judge me

'Cause if you did, baby, I would judge you too

'Cause I got issues

But you got 'em too

So give 'em all to me

And I'll give mine to you

Bask in the glory

Of all our problems

'Cause we got the kind of love

It takes to solve 'em

Yeah, I got issues

And one of them is how bad I need you

You do shit on purpose

You get mad and you break things

Feel bad, try to fix things

But you're perfect

Poorly wired circuit

And got hands like an ocean

Push you out, pull you back in

'Cause you don't judge me

'Cause if you did, baby, I would judge you too

No, you don't judge me

'Cause you see it from same point of view

'Cause I got issues

But you got 'em too

So give 'em all to me

And I'll give mine to you

Bask in the glory

Of all our problems

'Cause we got the kind of love

It takes to solve 'em

Yeah, I got issues

And one of them is how bad I need you

And one of them is how bad I need you

(I got issues, you got 'em too)

'Cause I got issues

(I got)

But you got 'em too

So give 'em all to me

(You got 'em too)

And I'll give mine to you

Bask in the glory

(I got issues)

Of all our problems

'Cause we got the kind of love

(You got 'em too)

It takes to solve 'em

Yeah, I got issues (I got)

And one of them is how bad I need you (You got 'em too)

Yeah, I got issues (I got issues)

And one of them is how bad I need you (You got 'em too)

Yeah, I got issues (I got)

And one of them is how bad I need you

Don't you try to shoot up the sky, to shoot up the sky

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

"Darkest Of My Days" - Big Wolf Band

 

On the darkest of my days

The sunshine falls like the rain

And I'm trying to find myself

Just don't know where to begin

 

These tears drown my soul

Leave me standing here with this empty hole

And I said to myself

Cry me some tears

Let all these memories just disappear

 

On the darkest of my days

My tears fall like the rain

And I'm trying to save myself

Just don't know where to begin

 

My fear drives my pain

Leaves me standing here in the pouring rain

And I said to myself

Cry me some tears

Let my fears just disappear

 

On the darkest of my days

My tears fall like the rain

And I'm trying to save myself

Just don't know where to begin

 

On the darkest of my days

On the darkest of my days

"Sitting In Limbo"

 

Jimmy Cliff 

https://youtu.be/vRoJyaZW6SA

 

Hanne Boel

 

Sitting here in limbo

But I know it won't be long

Sitting here in limbo

Like a bird without a song

 

Well, they're putting up resistance

But I know that my faith will lead me on

 

Sitting here in limbo

Waiting for the dice to roll

Sitting here in limbo

Got some time to search my soul

 

Well they're putting up resistance

But I know that my faith will lead me on

 

I don't know where life will lead me

But I know where I've been

I can't say what life will show me

But I know what I have seen

 

Tried my hand at love and friendship

But all that is past and gone

Now it is time to be moving on

 

Sitting here in limbo

Waiting for the tide to flow

Sitting here in limbo

Knowing that I have to go

 

Well they're putting up resistance

But I know that my faith will lead me on

 

I can't say what life will show me

But I know what I've seen

I can't say where life will lead me

But I know who I've been

 

Tried my hand at love and friendship

But all that is past and gone

This little boy is moving on

 

Sitting here in limbo

Waiting for the tide to flow

Sitting here in limbo

Knowing that I have to go

 

Well they're putting up resistance

But I know that my faith will lead me on

 

Sitting in limbo, sitting in limbo

Sitting in limbo

Sitting in limbo, limbo, limbo

Won't you sing me a song or two

I got nothing to gain

I got nothing to lose

But if you sing me a song

You'll make me happy indeed

Won't you try to help me along

Won't you sing a little song for me

 

Sing me a song or two

It won't take you long to do

Sing to me please

Won't you whistle a tune

 

Though I ain't got a bean

It costs me nothing to dream

So if you're waiting for nothing

Do something for me

"Tough Enough" - Vanilla Ninja

 

Baby, only the strong will survive

All the mysteries of life

Only fantasy keeps you away

In the lonely fields of those broken shields

 

[CHORUS:]

So keep on kicking

The bomb is ticking

Don't stop, don't be a runaway

Go for the fire

Baby, you're tough enough

Just keep on living

And don't start giving

The devil good reason

To get you in the seasons of heartbreak

Baby, you're tough enough

 

Baby, you're tough enough

 

Yeah my skin is a dangerous place

Never trust my smiling face

With a touch I can change all your dreams

And my kiss can awake

Feelings you can't take

 

[CHORUS]

 

Baby, you're tough enough

Baby, you're tough enough

 

I will meet you there

Cause I need you there tonight

 

So keep on kicking

The bomb is ticking

Don't stop, don't be a runaway

Go for the fire

Baby, are you tough enough

Just keep on living

And don't start giving

The devil good reason

To get you in the seasons of heartbreak

Baby, you're tough enough

 

Baby, you're tough enough

Baby, you're tough enough

"Hold On" - Derek Hough

 

 

Day by day

Every day is a battle

It's a battle

 

Losing faith

A fight each day for survival

For survival

 

[CHORUS:]

She said

Will anybody even know if I'm gone

I can't take another night alone

And I said

Hold on, hold on to me, yeah

Hold on, hold on to me, yeah

 

Looking back

With every breath

Feeling shattered

You're shattered

 

You did your best

Got nothing left

Doesn't matter

It matters

 

[CHORUS:]

 

When you're falling down

Hold on, hold on to me, yeah

Hold on, hold on to me, yeah

 

When everything comes crashing down

You know, you know

It's harder when the lights go out

 

You know, you know that you can

Hold on, hold on to me, yeah

Hold on, hold on to me

 

When you're falling down

Hold on, hold on, hold on to me, yeah

Hold on, hold on to me

 

Hold on

Hold on to me

Odessa / I Will be There

 

 

[[az...]]

If you ever need someone to cry to

If you ever need someone to hold you

I will be there

Standing by your side

I will be there

Standing by your side

If you ever need someone

To just love you

If you ever need someone

To simply adore you

I will be there

Standing by your side

I will be there

Standing by your side

From the mountains to the sea

And the city

From the valleys to the moon

In every country

I will be there

Standing beside you

I will be there

Standing by your side

I will be there

Standing beside you

I will be there

Standing by your side

I will be there

Standing beside you

I will be there

Standing by your side

I will be there

Standing beside you

I will be there

Standing by your side

I will be there

A great version of "Rivers of Babylon" from Playing for Change:

A very moving version of "Caledonia" by Celtic Woman:

[[La...]]

Very beautiful. Have you heard the original by Dougie Maclean? I've only ever heard it sung by men -- Dougie, Dick Gaughan and local Scotsman here in Ontario. Such a gorgeous tune!

[[La...]]

And now that I'm thinking of Scotland, here's Runrig's epic live version of "Loch Lomond", filmed live at Loch Lomond, with a huge crowd singing along:

 

[[or...]]

Great, Lapis! Thank you.

 

Have you heard/seen any of the Choir! Choir! Choir! offerings? How I wish I still lived in /Toronto. At least there are videos to watch. 

[[La...]]

YES! I love Choir! Choir! Choir!, oregonkatz. Fantastic videos! I haven't watched any of them lately, but I don't think I've seen one that I didn't like. It's such a beautiful thing to do -- just sing together.

[[Gw...]]

I listen to this one almost every day, sometimes I'll just put it on repeat - especially if I'm having one of those emotional meltdowns. They pass.
