"I'll Still Be There" - Brandi Carlile

 

http://www.zooborns.com/.a/6a010535647bf3970b01b8d24f9535970c-800wi

 

There never was a better love

To see the light of day

If only just to lift you up

And rise above the grey

 

It breaks my heart but now you know

That the broken binds are an open door

And if it all disappears

I promise you I’ll still be there

 

My growing pain, my darkest days

I owe them all to you

For every break I've got you to thank

For always pulling me through

 

If it breaks your heart at least you know

That the broken binds are an open door

And if it all disappears

I promise you I’ll still be there

 

But if the world should let you down

And the sky should fall and never make a sound

And if it all disappears

I promise you I will be there

 

It breaks my heart

It breaks my heart

It breaks my heart

It breaks my heart

 

But now you know

That the broken binds are an open door

And if it all disappears

I promise you I will be there

 

But if the world should let you down

If the sky should fall and never make a sound

Oh if it all disappears

I promise you I will be there

 

Oh if it all disappears

You have my word I will be there

And if it all disappears

I promise you I will be there

” If I Lost My Eyes”

The White Buffalo

 

 

"If I Lost My Eyes"

 

If I lost my eyes

Would you stay with me

Would you take me by the hand

Tell me what you see

 

Fill my head with colors for my dreams

If I lost my eyes

If I lost my eyes

 

If I lost my hands

Couldn't feel a thing

If my touch was gone forever

Out of reach

Couldn't hold you like a woman needs to be

If I lost my hands

If I lost my hands

 

Would you stay

Would you stay

Or would you stray

Just run away

Or would you give me something to believe in

Would you show me the way

You believe so I believe

 

If I lost my mind

Would you stay with me

Remind me of the man I used to be

Fill my head with hope times infinity

If I lost my mind

If I lost my hands

Oh, if I lost my eyes

 

Would you stay

Would you stay

Would you stay

” Broken Crown”

Mumford and Sons

 

 

"Broken Crown"

 

Touch my mouth and hold my tongue

I'll never be your chosen one

I'll be home safe and tucked away

Well you can't tempt me if I don't see the day

 

The pull on my flesh was just too strong

Stifled the choice and the air in my lungs

Better not to breathe than to breathe a lie

'Cause when I open my body I breathe a lie

 

I will not speak of your sin

There was a way out for him

The mirror shows not

Your values are all shot

 

But oh my heart was flawed I knew my weakness

So hold my hand consign me not to darkness

 

So crawl on my belly 'til the sun goes down

I'll never wear your broken crown

I took the road and I f***** it all away

Now in this twilight how dare you speak of grace

 

So crawl on my belly 'til the sun goes down

I'll never wear your broken crown

I took the road and I f***** it all away

Now in this twilight how dare you speak of grace

 

So crawl on my belly 'til the sun goes down

I'll never wear your broken crown

I can take the road and I can fuck it all away

But in this twilight our choices seal our fate

” I’ll Play The Blues For You”

Daniel Castro

 

 

 

If you’re down and out and you hurt real good

Come on over to the place I work

And all your loneliness I’ll try to soothe

I’ll play the blues for you

 

Don’t be afraid come on in

You might come across

Some of your old friends

And all your loneliness

I’ll try to soothe

I’ll play the blues for you

 

Ain’t no big name

Ain’t no big star

I’ll play the blues for you

On my guitar

 

All your loneliness

I’ll try to soothe

I’ll play the blues for you

Play the blues

” The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face”

Roberta Flack

 

 

"The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face"

 

The first time ever I saw your face

I thought the sun rose in your eyes

And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave

To the dark and the endless skies, my love

To the dark and the endless skies

 

And the first time ever I kissed your mouth

I felt the earth move in my hand

Like the trembling heart of a captive bird

That was there at my command, my love

That was there at my command, my love

 

And the first time ever I lay with you

I felt your heart so close to mine

And I knew our joy would fill the earth

And last 'til the end of time, my love

And it would last 'til the end of time, my love

 

The first time ever I saw your face

Your face

Your face

Your face

 

 

❤️❤️❤️

"Brief Bus Stop" - Ani DiFranco

She sat there like a photograph

Of someone much further away

We shared a brief bus stop

On one of those in-between days

She gave me her smile

And I looked underneath

At the lipstick on her teeth

 

She asked me for a light

And if I thought her hair looked okay

And we grew out of the small talk

Into stuff that strangers just don't say

We discovered that we are both

Pleasantly furious half of the time

When we're not just toeing the line

 

And we sat underneath the shelter

As the rain came down outside

And the bench was cold

Against the underside of our thighs

 

I said,

"I think we need new responses

Every question's a revolving door"

And she said,

"Yeah, my life may not be something special

But it's never been lived before"

 

We decided our urgency

Will wane when we grow old

There'll be a new generation of anger

New stories to be told

 

But I said,

"I don't know if I can wait

For that peace to be mine"

And she said,

"Well, you know we've been waiting for this bus

For an awfully long time"

 

She sat there like a photograph

Of someone much further away

We shared a brief bus stop

On one of those in-between days

"Ashes Of Eden" - Breaking Benjamin

 

Will the faithful be rewarded

When we come to the end

Will I miss the final warning

From the lie that I have lived

 

Is there anybody calling

I can see the soul within

And I am not worthy

I am not worthy of this

 

Are you with me after all

Why can't I hear you

Are you with me through it all

Then why can't I feel you

 

Stay with me

Don't let me go

Because there's nothing left at all

Stay with me

Don't let me go

Until the Ashes of Eden fall

 

Will the darkness fall upon me

When the air is growing thin

Will the light begin to pull me

To its everlasting will

 

I can hear the voices haunting

There is nothing left to fear

And I am still calling

I am still calling to you

 

Are you with me after all

Why can't I hear you

Are you with me through it all

Then why can't I feel you

 

Stay with me

Don't let me go

Because there's nothing left at all

Stay with me

Don't let me go

Until the Ashes of Eden fall

 

Why can't I hear you

 

Stay with me

Don't let me go

Because there's nothing left at all

Stay with me

Don't let me go

Until the Ashes of Eden fall

 

Heaven above me

Take my hand

Shine until there's nothing left but you

Heaven above me

Take my hand

Shine until there's nothing left but you

"Borrowed Time" - A Fine Frenzy

 

Thick as thieves the last of leaves

In the winter sun

Holding fast this freezing branch

Is home to us

 

Step, step right over the line

And onto borrowed time

When it's life, not waiting to die

Waiting to divide to divide

 

Counting stars and passing cars

On the interstate

The end is near I feel it dear

But I am not afraid

 

Step, step right over the line

And onto borrowed time

When it's life, not waiting to die

Waiting to divide to divide

 

But you say you're getting tired

You're tired and so am I

When you follow from behind

 

Step, step right over the line

And onto borrowed time

When it's life, not waiting to die

Waiting to divide to divide

 

But you say you're getting tired

You're tired and so am I

When you follow from behind

"Nightingales" - Prefab Sprout

 

Tell me do, something true

True of you and me

That we're too busy living through

Too busy to see

 

What is it that we do

Makes us what we are

If we sing

Are we nightingales

Shine

Are we stars

 

Who are we, what we got

Are we a firework show

Growing pale like a star

That burnt out years ago

Stranger things have been

Stranger things have gone

I find it hard right now

To name you one

 

Tell me do something true

And drop the fairytales

If singing birds must sing

With no question of choice

Then living is our song

Indeed our voice

Best agree, you and me

We're probably nightingales

(x2)

 

God's a proud thunder cloud

We are cartoon cats

With a fear that is biblical

Under our hats

 

Who are we, what we got

Are we a firework show

Growing pale like a star

That burnt out years ago

Stranger things have been

Stranger things have gone

I find it hard right now

To name you one

 

Tell me do something true

And drop the fairytales

If singing birds must sing

With no question of choice

Then living is our song

Indeed our voice

Best agree, you and me

We're probably nightingales

"You Knew Me When" - Leona Lewis

https://youtu.be/um6aQgs-Wtc

 

Take a look, look into my eyes

You'll see someone you don't recognize

You'll see someone who looks like me

But I'm not the me I used to be

 

Found I could fall but I could get up

And after all, I could hold my head up

I made it out I made it through

I'm someone now I'm someone new

 

But you could say you knew me then

You could say you knew me when

 

You knew me when I was on the edge

And my confidence was shattered

You knew me when I didn't know my worth

Didn't know how much I mattered

 

You knew me when you thought

You could get me down, no

You knew me when, you knew me then

But you don't know me now

 

You look surprised to see I've changed

But I've turned the key and I've turned the page

Stepped out the dark into the sun

To a whole new me that I've become

 

I was scared, had so much fear then

Now I'm free now I'm fearless

Took too much for too long

I'm someone now I'm someone strong

 

And you could say you knew me then

You could say you knew me when

 

You knew me when I was on the edge

And my confidence was shattered

You knew me when I didn't know my worth

Didn't know how much I mattered

 

You knew me when you thought

You could get me down, no

You knew me when, you knew me then

But you don't know me now

 

I'm a little wiser, reaching higher

It's a battle but I'm a fighter

This time there'll be no surrender, no

 

And you could say you knew me when

You could say you knew me when

 

You knew me when I was on the edge

And my confidence was shattered

You knew me when I didn't know my worth

Didn't know how much I mattered

 

You knew me when you thought

You could get me down, no

You knew me when, you knew me then

But you don't know me now

 

You knew me then, you knew me when

But you don't know me now

"I'll Keep You Safe" - Sleeping At Last

 

 

I’ll keep you safe

Try hard to concentrate

Hold out your hand

Can you feel the weight of it

The whole world at your fingertips

 

Don’t be, don’t be afraid

Our mistakes they were bound to be made

But I promise you I’ll keep you safe

 

You’ll be an architect

So pull up your sleeves

And build a new silhouette

In the skylines up ahead

 

Don’t be, don’t be afraid

Our mistakes they were bound to be made

But I promise you I’ll keep you safe

I’ll keep you safe

 

Darkness will be rewritten

Into a work of fiction, you’ll see

As you pull on every ribbon

You’ll find every secret it keeps

 

The sound of the branches

Breaking under your feet

The smell of the falling

And burning leaves

 

The bitterness of winter

Or the sweetness of spring

You are an artist

And your heart is your masterpiece

 

And I’ll keep it safe

 

Dismiss the invisible

By giving it shape

Like a clockmaker fixes time

By keeping the gears in line

 

Don’t be, don’t be afraid

God knows that mistakes will be made

But I promise you

I’ll keep you safe

 

As you build up your collection

Of pearls that you pulled from the deep

A landscape more beautiful

Than anything that I’ve ever seen

 

The sound of the branches

Breaking under your feet

The smell of the falling

And burning leaves

 

The bitterness of winter

Or the sweetness of spring

You are an artist

And your heart is your masterpiece

 

And I’ll keep it safe

"Blind to the Beautiful" - Fish

 

The stars are fading

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust           

The bread we have broken

The wine we drank from tarnished cups

 

I stopped believing in miracles

A long, long time ago

I lost my faith

And I sacrificed my soul

 

I worshiped fallen idols

Chased false prophets to an end

To where I just can't see

The beautiful anymore

 

The ice retreating

Mountains exposed in the sun

The earth is baking

Raindrops precede the floods

   

And hurricanes with children's names

Write our history

The signatures tracked

By satellites on high

 

We should have talked about the weather

A bit more seriously

More than stocks and shares

And corporate wares

 

We were blinded by the skeptics

And their greed

I just can't see

The beautiful anymore

 

I just can't see the beautiful anymore

 

And I howled and I cried

When the melody died

The song was finally over

There was nothing to say

 

Words stole away

The meaning was lost in the ether

What there was left stopped making sense

A broken up alphabet language dispersed

 

I just can't hear the beautiful anymore

                       

The oceans are rising

Islands in time disappear

The canyons burning

Forests consumed by the flames

 

Wildfires rage across the plains

To be starved by barren soil

Deserted farms

Where seeds refuse to grow

 

I close my eyes to cloudless skies

I dream of what we had before

I just can't see

The beautiful anymore

 

I just can't see the beautiful anymore

"Beautiful Bluebird"

 

Neil Young

 

The Oak Ridge Boys

 

One morning when I was riding

In my old pickup truck

A beautiful bluebird came flying down

 

My eyes caught the color

As it led me down the road

Dipping and bobbing in the sun

 

[CHORUS:]

Beautiful bluebird

See how she flies

Looks like she's always going home

If heaven had a window

Where the sun came shining through

Like a beautiful bluebird

I'd come flying back to you

 

Beautiful bluebird

See how she flies

Looks like she's always going home

 

I've never seen that blue before

Except in one place

And she's not here with me right now

 

And just like a lover

I watched her fly away

And that's what I remember now

 

Beautiful bluebird

See how she flies

Looks like she's always going home

If heaven had a window

Where the sun came shining through

Like a beautiful bluebird

I'd come flying back to you

(x2)

 

If heaven had a window

Where the sun came shining through

Like a beautiful bluebird

I'd come flying home to you

"Beautiful" - Marillion

 

Everybody knows that we live in a world

Where they give bad names to beautiful things

Everybody knows that we live in a world

Where we don't give beautiful things a second glance

 

Heaven only knows we live in a world

Where what we call beautiful is just something on sale

People laughting behind their hands

While the fragile and the sensitive are given no chance

 

And the leaves turn from red to brown

To be trodden down

To be trodden down

And the leaves turn from red to brown

Fall to the ground

Fall to the ground

 

We don't have to live in a world

Where we give bad names to beautiful things

We should live in a beautiful world

We should give beautiful a second chance

 

And the leaves fall from red to brown

To be trodden down

To be trodden down

And the leaves turn green to red to brown

Fall to the ground

And get kicked around

 

You're strong enough to be

If you've the faith to be

You're sane enough to be

Honest enough to say

Don't have to be the same

Don't have to be this way

Come on and sign your name

You're wild enough to remain beautiful

Beautiful

Beautiful

 

And the leaves turn from red to brown

To be trodden down

Trodden down

And we all fall green to red to brown

Fall to the ground

We can turn it around

 

You're strong enough to be

Why don't you stand up and say

Give yourself a break

They'll laugh at you anyway

So why don't you stand up and be beautiful

Beautiful

 

Black, white, red, gold, and brown

We're stuck in this world

Nowhere to go

Turn it around

Everything's Beautiful (In its Own Way)

Dolly Parton feat. Willie Nelson

https://youtu.be/omU4TM5gkJo

 

When I look out over a green field of clover

Or watch the sun set at the end of the day

I get kind of moody when I see such beauty

And everything's beautiful in its own way

 

When I see a fountain flow from a mountain

Or see April showers bring flowers to May

I can't help but ponder life is such a wonder

And everything's beautiful in its own way

 

Words can't describe what I feel inside

When I see the beauty in each coming day

What my eyes behold can't be bought or sold

And everything's beautiful in its own way

 

When I see the clouds form a black summer windstorm

That uproots the harvest and hurls it away

In the midst of such anger, destruction, and danger

The storm's even beautiful in its own way

 

When I see leaves drop from off of the treetop

Or see the snow fall on a cold winter's day

My thoughts seem to wander into the blue yonder

God made all things beautiful in their own way

 

Words can't describe what I feel inside

When I see the beauty in each coming day

What my eyes behold can't be bought or sold

And everything's beautiful in its own way

In its own way

In its own way

"Beautiful" - Gordon Lightfoot

https://youtu.be/RN80_VB0WIY

 

 

At times I just don't know

How you could be anything but beautiful

I think that I was made for you

And you were made for me

 

And I know that I won't ever change

Cause we've been friends

Through rain or shine

For such a long, long time

Laughting eyes and smiling face

It seems so lucky just to have the right

Of telling you with all my might

You're beautiful tonight

 

And I know that you will never stray

Cause you've been that way

From day to day

For such a long, long time

 

And when you hold me tight

How could life be anything but beautiful

I think that I was made for you

And you were made for me

 

And I know that I won't ever change

Cause we've been friends

Through rain or shine

For such a long, long time

 

And I must say it means so much to me

To be the one who's telling you

I'm telling you

That you're beautiful

Film School - Like You Know

 

 

You fall like you know

And leave like you don't

A new love for the stars

A love for the charts

 

But I thought the strongest go alone?

Don't you fall for anything

But I thought the best go out alone?

You won't fall for anything

 

Convinced yourself this is what you want

We lived by a well

That echoed all you'd tell

We carved in the stone

To love is to own

 

But I thought the strongest go alone?

Don't you fall for anything

But I thought the best go out alone?

You won't follow anything

Convinced yourself this is what you want

I'm waiting for your time

"Two Face People"- Max Romeo

 

You sat at my table and eat

Just like you were my brother

I could never ever believe

You were just a back-stabber

 

You wish me luck in front of my face

And evil when my back is turned

It's a part of your mind

So I left you to time

You will pay for your crime

 

Two face people

How wicked you are

Two face people

You'll never get far

 

You led me to think you're my friend

When you were my enemy

You take my kindness for weakness

My weakness for granted

 

You wish me good in front of my face

And bad when my back is turned

But I'll pay you no mind

I just left you to time

You will pay for your crime

 

Two face people

How wicked you are

Two face people

You'll never get far

"Find Out Who Your Friends Are"

Tracy Lawrence, Kenny Chesney, Tim McGraw

 

Run your car off the side of the road

Get stuck in a ditch

Way out in the middle of nowhere

 

Or get yourself in a bind

Lose the shirt off your back

Need a floor, need a couch, need a bus fare

 

This is where the rubber meets the road

This is where the cream is gonna rise

This is what you really didn't know

This is where the truth don't lie

 

[CHORUS:]

You find out who your friends are

Somebody's gonna drop everything

Run out and crank up their car

Hit the gas, get there fast

Never stop to think, "What's in it for me?"

Or, "It's way too far"

They just show on up

With their big old heart

You find out who your friends are

 

Everybody wants to slap your back

Wants to shake your hand

When you're up on top of that mountain

 

But let one of those rocks give way

Then you slide back down

Look up and see who's around then

 

This ain't where the road comes to an end

This ain't where the bandwagon stops

This is just one of those times when

A lot of folks jump off

 

[CHORUS]

 

When the water's high

When the weather's not so fair

When the well runs dry

Who's gonna be there

 

You find out who your friends are

Somebody's gonna drop everything

Run out and crank up their car

Hit the gas, get there fast

Never stop to think, "What's in it for me?"

Or, "It's way too far"

They just show on up with their big old heart

You find out who your friends are

 

You find out who your friends are

 

Run your car off the side of the road

Get stuck in a ditch

Way out in the middle of nowhere

Oh, man, I've been there

 

Or get yourself in a bind

Lose the shirt off your back

Need a floor, need a couch, need a bus fare

Man, I've been there
