” Hang On, Hang On”

Amos Lee

 

 

"Hang On, Hang On"

 

We never left you

We never left you that day

We never left you

Even though we felt far away

 

Couldn't hold you

But you didn't wanna be held anyway

 

So hang on, hang on

Hang on, hang on

Hang on, hang on

'Cause you already come far alone

 

We never failed you

Even though we might have felt that way

We never left you

But it hurt to see you in so much pain

 

And I would've stayed there forever

But it didn't work out that way

 

So hang on, hang on

Hang on, hang on

Hang on, hang on

When morning comes you won't be here alone

 

Say a lover's prayer, a lover's prayer is all you've known

Say a lover's prayer as we're standing there in the shadow stone

Say a lover's prayer, a lover's prayer is all we've known

Say a lover's prayer

 

Hang on, hang on

Hang on, hang on

Hang on, hang on

When morning comes you won't be here alone

When morning comes you won't be here alone

When morning comes you won't be here alone

Hey

 

❤️❤️❤️

” Unconditional “

Freya Ridings

 

 

“ Unconditional “

 

 

Stay with me, darling

Stay with me, darling

Let us lose ourselves in the moonlight

Lose ourselves

As we find

 

 

That there's nothing I could say

That would make you go away

No danger I was in

You wouldn't step in the way

I'm not alone anymore

This love's unconditional

 

 

Stay with me, darling

Just stay with me, darling

Let us lose ourselves in the moment

Lose ourselves

As we both find

 

 

There's nothing you could say

That would make me go away

No danger you were in

And I wouldn't step in the way

You're not alone anymore

'Cause this love's unconditional

 

 

Oh  lord, when will I breathe again?

And when will I stop smiling?

Somehow you made me believe again

That this is love

 

 

And this love's unconditional

Oh, this love's unconditional

This love's unconditional

 

❤️❤️❤️

"Backseat of a Greyhound Bus"

Sara Evans

 

 

She wore a dress with cherries on it

Going somewhere where she'd be wanted

In a town this small

All they do is talk

 

No wedding ring

Chipped fingernail polish

She always wished

That she could go to college

But some dreams fade

They just slip away

 

She started to show a few months ago

And she had to go

That's how she wound up

 

On the backseat of a Greyhound bus

Head hung down with the windows up

Staring at the rest of her life

She never thought this would be the place

Where she would find her saving grace

But she fell in love, she fell in love

On the backseat of a Greyhound bus

Oh yeah, yeah

 

The moon was full

The stars were smiling

God has a funny sense of timing

The baby came on the interstate

 

Somewhere between Jackson and Memphis

She finally found what she had been missing

She cried and laughed

While the red lights flashed

 

Sweet baby girl

She looked into the face of a new

The face of a brand new world

 

On the backseat of a Greyhound bus

Heart so full that it could bust

Staring at the rest of her life

She never thought this would be the place

Where she would find her saving grace

But she fell in love, she fell in love

On the backseat of a Greyhound bus

 

Sweet baby girl

She found a brand new world

 

On the backseat of a Greyhound bus

Heart so full that it could bust

Staring at the rest of her life

She never thought this would be the place

Where she would find her saving grace

But she fell in love, she fell in love

On the backseat of a Greyhound bus

 

She wore a dress with cherries on it

Going somewhere where she'd be wanted

Hey yeah, oh yeah

"Digging Shelters" - Neil Halstead

 

Computer, what's the point in this

You do all the thinking

Where are we

Just digging shelters in the snow

Build a house of dream and domino

 

I know it's fallen down

Got my headphones on

And I won't hear a sound

I know it's all broke down

Eyes out on the road

But no-one comes along

When you want them to

 

Let your hair hang long

Yeah, that old north wind is blowing

Through these cracked up boards

You won't feel so strong

Voices on the street

Yeah, it's closing time again

 

Computer, whats the point in this

You do all the thinking

Where are we

Just building shelters in the snow

Build a house of dream and domino

 

I know it's fallen down

Got my headphones on

And I won't hear a sound

Yeah, it's all broke down

Eyes out on the road

But no-one comes along

When you want them to

"Waiting Too Long" - Hippie Sabotage

 

[CHORUS:]

Oh, oh, oh

I've been waiting too long

(x4)

 

I've hit a wall

I can't look past it

Nothing at all

Nothing to mask it

 

But it feels so drastic

But I cannot panic

So I get my chance to go

And hit that **ing road

 

[CHORUS]

 

I can't tell at all

If I need to run back

And I can't speak at all

If I can't come back

 

So I just need to find my zone

I just need to find my Om

I just need to find my throne

I just need to find my home

 

Oh, oh, oh

I've been waiting too long

Oh, oh, oh

I've been waiting too long

(x2)

"Show Me The Way" - Styx

 

Every night I say a prayer

In the hopes that there's a Heaven

And every day I'm more confused

As the saints turn into sinners

 

All the heroes and legends I knew as a child

Have fallen to idols of clay

And I feel this empty place inside

So afraid that I've lost my faith

 

Show me the way

Show me the way

Take me tonight to the river

And wash my illusions away

Please show me the way

 

And as I slowly drift to sleep

For a moment dreams are sacred

I close my eyes and know there's peace

In a world so filled with hatred

 

Then I wake up each morning

And turn on the news

To find we've so far to go

And I keep on hoping for a sign

So afraid I just won't know

 

Show me the way

Show me the way

Bring me tonight to the mountain

And take my confusion away

And show me the way

 

And if I see a light

Should I believe

Tell me how will I know

 

Show me the way

Show me the way

Take me tonight to the river

And wash my illusions away

 

Show me the way

Show me the way

Give me the strength and the courage

To believe that I'll get there someday

And please show me the way

 

Every night I say a prayer

In the hopes that there's a Heaven

"I'm On My Way" - Dionne Warwick

https://youtu.be/tP_TgC4EAz8

 

I don't know where I'm going

But I'm on my way

As I go through life

Somewhere in the world

There's a place for me

Somewhere I will find me a new life

 

I don't know where I'm going

But that's still okay

My dream is out there

Never gonna stop

Till that dream is mine

Gonna see what life's all about there

 

Got to get away to go and search

For something that people call the good times

Let the good times come and turn my life around

I just gotta go and find the future

And leave the past behind me

Somewhere fame and fortune's waiting to be found

 

And I'm on my way

Yes, I'm on my way

Somewhere I will find me a new life

Somewhere in the world

There's a place for me

 

Got to get away to go and search

For something that people call the good times

Let the good times come and turn my life around

I just gotta go and find the future

And leave the past behind me

Somewhere fame and fortune's waiting to be found

 

Oh yes, and I'm on my way

Yes, I am

Yes, I'm on my way

I'm on my way

"L'amour Toujours" - Gigi D'Agostino

 

http://chinasportsinsider.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Pandas.jpg

 

Every day and every night

I always dream

That you are by my side

Oh, Baby, every day and every night

Well, I said

Everything's going to be alright

 

And I'll fly with you

I'll fly with you

I'll fly with you

 

I still believe in your eyes

I just don't care

What you've done in your life

Baby, I'll always be here by your side

Don't leave me waiting too long

Please come by

 

I still believe in your eyes

There is no choice

I belong to your life

Because I live to love you someday

You'll be my baby

And we'll fly away

 

And I'll fly with you

I'll fly with you

I'll fly with you

 

Every day and every night

I always dream

That you are by my side

Oh, my Baby, every day and every night

Well, I said

Everything's going to be alright

 

And I'll fly with you

I'll fly with you

I'll fly with you

 

I'll fly with you

Here's a beautiful rendition of John Hiatt's "Have A Little Faith In Me", sung by Maisy Stella, a 14-year-old who recently starred on the TV show "Nashville". Originally, from Ontario, Canada, she and her older sister Lennon perform as the duo "Lennon and Maisy", with gorgeous harmonies. I've been checking out their videos for a few years now and have been awed by their talents. Lovely stuff. I'll share the awesome live John Hiatt version of the song as well for a double treat.

Whoa, Lapsy, you've been keeping these two incredible talents all to yourself for a few years now?!!!   They're amazing, such beautiful harmonizing, I watched a number of their vids and it was also cool seeing how they've matured over the years.  Thanks for finally sharing, Lap ... As you'll see I couldn't resist adding one of their songs to today's programming! 

 

Hoping everyone's had a restful weekend!

"Shattered" - William Fitzsimmons

 

Broadest road that I can travel

I am drawn by what I see

Spirit living deep inside me

Is fighting to be free

 

I'm a homeless man who's trying

-- And I do not have a home yet --

To find a place to lay his head

Find some comfort in this journey

-- Just another taste of pleasure --

At least before I'm dead

 

There she is inside waiting

On another chance to make it right

There she waits

Until her brokenness can break her

And finally be still

 

And these sidewalks speak of demons

-- There are demons all around me --

They are stepping on my toes

And my head just spins in circles

-- I can't even stop this movement --

Round and round it goes

 

And I've got so many pipers

-- And I think I hear my song now --

Leading me right to my death

I'm a slave to my indifference

-- And I'm comfortable in chains now --

I'm a corpse with borrowed breath

 

There she is inside waiting

On another chance to make it right

There she waits

Until her brokenness can break her

And finally be still

"Don't You Cry For Me" - Cobi

 

Hope got my hands tied round my back

And time put a rope around my head

I'm hung from the rafters of my fear

 

Dark in the eyes

I try and face the world

I can't bear to

My knees hit the ground

And my hands start shaking

 

Old feelings from new faces

A rope on the floor

And a poor man hanging

 

[CHORUS:]

Please help me chop this tree down

Hold me from underneath

Words never once cut me down

Oh, don't you cry for me

 

And I've seen an ocean run away

I'm torn from the truth that holds my soul

I'm down in the grave where I belong

Oh, what a ride

 

I identified my devil

Wings to the sky

On the run from trouble

With my own hands, no shovel

I dug through the ground

Now I'm hanging above saying

 

[CHORUS]

 

Down by the grave that the law man laid

When the gravel got paved

Finally I'm saved

(Repeat)

 

When the sun went down

It set the sky on fire

I saw an angel fly

I never felt so high

 

Please help me chop this tree down

Hold me from underneath

Words never once cut me down

Oh, don't you cry for me

 

Oh, don't you cry for me

Oh, don't you cry for me

"Blackbird"

Sam Feldt feat. Jake Reese

 

If I had a wish

I'd wanna be a blackbird up in the sky

Flying by

 

I'd sail away

And watch the people

Down on Sunset and Vine

Getting high

 

And all my years of worry

And all the things I've done

Would turn right into water

Like snowflakes in the sun

 

If I had a wish

I'd wanna be a blackbird up in the sky

Flying by

 

(x2)

 

And every time I close my eyes

I'll be there with you

Out of this world and out of my mind

Is where I'm going to

 

If I had a wish

I'd wanna be a blackbird up in the sky

Flying by

 

And all my years of worry

And all the things I've done

Would turn right into water

Like snowflakes in the sun

 

If I had a wish

I'd wanna be a blackbird up in the sky

Flying by

"Not Gonna Break Me" - Jamie N Commons

 

Ever come this far

Just to let this go

I need to know from you

I need to know from you

 

Is it cold outside

Living on your own

I need to know from you

I need to know from you

 

And if it's all the same

I wanna play the game

Say not gonna break me

 

Not gonna break me

Not gonna break me down

Not gonna break me this time around

Not gonna break me

Not gonna break me down

Not gonna break me this time around

This time around

Not gonna break me this time around

 

Say hello to the pain

Hurting me so bad

Bleed the life from me

Bleed the life from me

 

Say a prayer, sweet love

Will we let this go

I need to know from you

I need to know from you

 

If it's all the same

I wanna play the game

Say not gonna break me

 

Not gonna break me

Not gonna break me down

Not gonna break me this time around

Not gonna break me

Not gonna break me down

Not gonna break me this time around

This time around

Not gonna break me this time around

(Repeat)

"Sanctuary"

Turn the light off

Go to bed

Tell me all about

The day you had

 

Lay beside me

It's time to rest

You can close your eyes

You've done your best

 

Let me be your sanctuary

Let me be your safe place to fall

I can take away your worries

The refuge from it all

 

Oh, this time we have together

Is our shelter from the rain

I will share the weight you carry

Let me be your sanctuary

 

We have weathered through the storms

Taking comfort in each other's arms

When the dark clouds come again

I will lift you up and take you in

 

Let me be your sanctuary

Let me be your safe place to fall

I can take away your worries

The refuge from it all

 

Oh, this time we have together

Is our shelter from the rain

I will share the weight you carry

Let me be your sanctuary

 

I will share this weight you carry

Let me be your sanctuary

Great post, abcd! I guess I just got lost in the music! I forget how I first heard about Lennon and Maisy -- maybe on CBC, since they're Canadian-born. Maybe it was when they first got discovered and got their parts on the TV show "Nashville", which I've never seen, by the way. They had posted a YouTube video, and it went "viral". Anyway, off they went down to Nashville, and I just kept checking for new videos from them. I hope they don't get swallowed up by the music biz, but so far, they seem to be doing really well.

 

Here's the first video -- "Call Your Girlfriend" -- with 30 million hits!

 

[[La...]]

And here's Lennon and Maisy's version of the Lumineers song "Ho Hey", live from the Grand Ole Opry, with almost 12 million views. Maisy was still quite young, but already extremely gifted with her harmonies. Quite the pair!

Wow, Lapis, thanks for sharing about Lennon & Maisy. Listening to them brightened up my day and maybe my whole year! I'll be checking in on them from now on.

 

Thanks again!

Enjoy, oregonkatz! Sharing music is a good thing! Glad to brighten your day. I ended up listening to a bunch of their videos today...and then I got sidetracked with some other great music, and that helped me get through the day. Take care!

"Come To This" - Natalie Taylor

 

How can this happen

How can this be

There is no ending

There is no peace

The darkness is so close

The lights will quickly go

And now it's all gone

Now it's all gone

 

The darkness keeps its grip

How'd it come to this

How'd it come to this

How'd it come to this

 

Will you hear me when I speak

Do you feel the pain with me

I tried to be so strong

I thought that hope would come

But you're not here

 

Darkness keeps its grip

How'd it come to this

 

Please come back

Please come back

Please come back

Please come back

To me

 

Darkness keeps its grip

How'd it come to this

How'd it come to this

How'd it come to this

 

:'(

"The Wrestler" - Bruce Springsteen

 

Have you ever seen a one trick pony

In the field so happy and free

If you've ever seen a one trick pony

Then you've seen me

 

Have you ever seen a one-legged dog

Making his way down the street

If you've ever seen a one-legged dog

Then you've seen me

 

Then you've seen me

I come and stand at every door

Then you've seen me

I always leave with less than I had before

Then you've seen me

But I can make you smile

When the blood it hits the floor

Tell me, friend, can you ask for anything more

Tell me can you ask for anything more

 

Have you ever seen a scarecrow

Filled with nothing but dust and weeds

If you've ever seen that scarecrow

Then you've seen me

 

Have you ever seen a one-armed man

Punching at nothing but the breeze

If you've ever seen a one-armed man

Then you've seen me

 

Then you've seen me

I come and stand at every door

Then you've seen me

I always leave with less than I had before

Then you've seen me

But I can make you smile

When the blood it hits the floor

Tell me, friend, can you ask for anything more

Tell me can you ask for anything more

 

These things that have comforted me

I drive away

This place that is my home

I cannot stay

My only faith is in the broken bones

And bruises I display

 

Have you ever seen a one-legged man

Trying to dance his way free

If you've ever seen a one-legged man

Then you've seen me
