"Living On A Memory" - Alannah Myles

 

The streetlight crawls into a bare bulb hotel

Where dead eyes shine there's a story to tell

It's a life of crime on a bed of stone

When the devil calls you're better off alone

 

[CHORUS:]

And now I'm hiding from the light

Running from my destiny

Haunted by a flame

Lying low

Living on a memory

 

The bugs still bite and the breezes blow

Between your dreams right through your clothes

The days roll by like cars on a train

And the August sky still looks like rain

 

[CHORUS]

 

Haunted by a dream

I can't escape this reverie

Trying to break away

Lying low

Living on a memory

 

I'll be walking behind you, I'm a face on the wind

I'll be watching still paying for my sins

I'm drifting down the river so slow

The lights of town are beginning to glow

 

And now I'm hiding from the light

Running from my destiny

Haunted by a flame

Lying low

Living on a memory

 

Haunted by a dream

I can't escape this reverie

Trying to break away

Lying low

Living on a memory

"Marathon" - Rush

 

It's not how fast you can go

The force goes into the flow

If you pick up the beat

You can forget about the heat

 

More than just survival

More than just a flash

More than just a dotted line

More than just a dash

 

It's a test of ultimate will

The heartbreak climb uphill

Got to pick up the pace

If you want to stay in the race

 

More than blind ambition

More than simple greed

More than a finish line

Must feed this burning need

In the long run

 

[CHORUS:]

From first to last

The peak is never passed

Something always fires the light

That gets in your eyes

One moment's high

And glory rolls on by

Like a streak of lightning

That flashes and fades

In the summer sky

 

Your meters may overload

You can rest at the side of the road

You can miss a stride

But nobody gets a free ride

 

More than high performance

More than just a spark

More than just the bottom line

Or a lucky shot in the dark

In the long run

 

[CHORUS]

 

You can do a lot in a lifetime

If you don't burn out too fast

You can make the most of the distance

First you need endurance

First you've got to last

 

From first to last

The peak is never passed

Something always fires the light

That gets in your eyes

One moment's high

And glory rolls on by

Like a streak of lightning

That flashes and fades

In the summer sky

"Winners Never Quit" - Owl City

 

I've had some bummer days

But I ain't looking back

I've made a few mistakes

But I'm on the right track

 

I got somewhere to be

Gotta hurry so I'll make

My date with destiny

Cause I don’t wanna be late

Here we go

I might take my time

Cause I find the fable had it right

Slow and steady wins the race

And I might lag behind

But I swear I'll cross the finish line

Moving at a steady pace

 

I'll give it all I've got

I don't have a lot

But I know a little goes a long way

 

The truth is hard to face

But I can take a hit

I've lost in many ways

But a winner don't quit

My head is in the game

And the move is mine to make

But I am not afraid

Cause I'll fight the good fight

 

I got somewhere to be

Gotta hurry so I’ll make

My date with destiny

Cause I don’t wanna be late

Here we go

 

I might take my time

Cause I find the fable had it right

Slow and steady wins the race

And I might lag behind

But I swear I'll cross the finish line

Moving at a steady pace

 

I'll give it all I've got

I don't have a lot

But I know a little goes a long

I'll give it all I've got

I don't have a lot

But I know a little goes a long way

 

I got somewhere to be

Gotta hurry so I'll make

My date with destiny

Cause I don't wanna be late

"Birds and Stars"

Elephant Revival

(With The Colorado Symphony)

 

 

Loving you it runs so deep

Upon the surface here I sleep

Walking the dark and light

I'm walking all the day and night

 

Rivers follow the ocean side

I fall for you here every time

Like a bee to the flower a-buzz

Does a flower question love

Love

 

Upon our best the quest is primed

Beating chests and open minds

I stand here in your midst

I see you through the smoke and mist

 

Once again for you I fall

Underneath the tree so tall

Upon the limbs a nesting dove

Does a birdie question love

Love

 

In the backdrop of the night

I melt into the starry light

The moon it pushes and pulls the tides

And tempts the soul to stay alive

 

And once again for you I fall

Underneath a million stars

How could you ever have enough

Oh, this must be, oh, this must be

 

So out from your slumber

And into the wonder

Under the starlight

And dance, dance

(Repeat)

Gotta Serve Somebody

Written by Bob Dylan

Performed by Natalie Cole

 

 

Lyrics

 

You may be an ambassador to England or France

You may like to gamble, you might like to dance

You may be the heavyweight champion of the world

You may be a socialite with a long string of pearls

 

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes

Indeed you're gonna have to serve somebody

Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord

But you're gonna have to serve somebody

 

You might be a rock 'n' roll addict prancing on the stage

You might have drugs at your command, women in a cage

You may be a business man or some high-degree thief

They may call you doctor or they may call you chief

 

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes you are

You're gonna have to serve somebody

Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord

But you're gonna have to serve somebody

 

You may be a state trooper, you might be a young Turk

You may be the head of some big TV network

You may be rich or poor, you may be blind or lame

You may be living in another country under another name

 

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes you are

You're gonna have to serve somebody

Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord

But you're gonna have to serve somebody

 

You may be a construction worker working on a home

You may be living in a mansion or you might live in a dome

You might own guns and you might even own tanks

You might be somebody's landlord, you might even own banks

 

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes

You're gonna have to serve somebody

Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord

But you're gonna have to serve somebody

 

You may be a preacher with your spiritual pride

You may be a city councilman taking bribes on the side

You may be workin' in a barbershop, you may know how to cut hair

You may be somebody's mistress, may be somebody's heir

 

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes

You're gonna have to serve somebody

Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord

But you're gonna have to serve somebody

 

Might like to wear cotton, might like to wear silk

Might like to drink whiskey, might like to drink milk

You might like to eat caviar, you might like to eat bread

You may be sleeping on the floor, sleeping in a king-sized bed

 

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes

Indeed you're gonna have to serve somebody

Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord

But you're gonna have to serve somebody

 

You may call me Terry, you may call me Timmy

You may call me Bobby, you may call me Zimmy

You may call me R.J., you may call me Ray

You may call me anything but no matter what you say

 

Still, you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes

You're gonna have to serve somebody

Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord

But you're gonna have to serve somebody

"The Birds They Circle" - Karen Elson

 

The birds they circle in the sky

Oh, the birds they circle in the sky

The birds they circle in the sky

For all of the blood red tears I've cried

Oh, the birds they circle in the sky

 

See the man as he rides towards the sun

See the man as he rides towards the sun

The man he rides towards the sun

Straight into the arms of another one

See the man as he rides towards the sun

 

But I hold a secret in my bones

Oh, but I hold a secret in my bones

What's that secret in my bones

I'll carry it down to the dirt below

Oh, but I hold a secret in my bones

 

The birds they circle in the sky

Oh the birds they circle in the sky

The birds they circle in the sky

For all of the blood red tears I've cried

Oh, the birds they circle in the sky

"Circles" - Switchfoot

 

Another day

Another sunrise

Another factory call

Another night

Another sunset

Another freefall

 

Am I alive

Am I on purpose

Within the weakness

Within the weakness

 

Spinning out in circles

In circles, in circles

Spinning out in circles

In circles, in circles

 

Another day

Another lifetime

Another engine stalls

Another line

Another freeway

Another freefall

 

Am I alive

Am I on purpose

Within the weakness

Within the weakness

 

Spinning out in circles

In circles, in circles

Spinning out in circles

In circles, in circles

In circles, in circles

 

I've lost all that I wanted to leave

I've lost all that I wanted to be

Don't believe that there's nothing less true

Don't believe in this modern machine

The modern machine

 

Spinning, spinning

In circles, in circles

Spinning out in circles

In circles, in circles

Spinning out in circles

In circles, in circles

In circles, in circles

In circles

"Circles"

 

The New Seekers

 

All my life's a circle

Sunrise and sundown

The moon rose through the nighttime

Till the daybreak comes around

 

All my life's a circle

But I can't tell you why

The seasons spinning round again

The years keep rolling by

 

It seems like I've been here before

I can't remember when

But I've got this funny feeling

That I'll be back once again

 

There's no straight lines make up my life

And all my roads have bends

There's no clear-cut beginnings

And so far no dead-ends

 

I've found you a thousand times

I guess you've done the same

But then we'll lose each other

It's just like a children's game

 

And as I see you here again

The thought runs through my mind

Our love is like a circle

Let's go round one more time

 

All my life's a circle

Sunrise and sundown

The moon rose through the nighttime

Till the daybreak comes around

All my life's a circle

But I can't tell you why

The seasons spinning round again

The years keep rolling by

"Full Circle" - Little River Band

 

We are riding on a rainbow

It's nearly at an end

It was given as a promise

To each and every man

 

It's a long time since we started

And the days left now are few

It seems the words sent

Long ago were true

 

Life goes on forever

But it changes like the tide

There's a meaning for existence

No need to run and hide

 

We are fighting for our freedom

We are searching for a way

And we live in hope

Of some eternal day

 

We are waiting, we're impatient

We're unfaithful, we are true

There's a lesson in the learning

Of the different things we do

 

As it was in the beginning

It shall be at the end

We will come full circle

To begin again

 

Search your heart before you die

Is the cost way too high

To explain all the tears

We have caused throughout the years

 

When everything is finished

And we've done all that we can

Will we come full circle

To begin again

 

[[...]]

"Full Circle" - Dolly Parton

 

 

You've seen me naked

In more ways than one

You've seen me done up

Seen me come undone

 

We've cried in the darkness

We've laughed in the sun

We've been forever

Yet we've just begun

 

[CHORUS:]

We've come full circle

All the way 'round

Through the good times and bad times

Through life's ups and downs

Still we've stayed together

Through thick and through thin

Yes, we've come full circle

Thank God, we're still friends

 

You know the soft spots

Under my skin

Deep down inside me

Where no one has been

 

We've sailed troubled waters

We've soared on the wind

But time's only sweetened

This love that we're in

 

[CHORUS]

 

We've cried in the darkness

We've laughed in the sun

We've been forever

And we've just begun

 

We've come full circle

We've been all the way 'round

(x2)

 

You know we've cried in the darkness

And we've laughed in the sun

We've stayed together

And we've just begun

 

We've come full circle

We've been all the way 'round

I'm so glad you're still my friend

We've come full circle

And I'd do it all again

” Overgrown”

Mountains Of The Moon

 

 

“ Overgrown”

 

Walking down the road

That used to take us home

Overgrown

 

Paths and trails from days gone by

No one lives here anymore

I'm all alone

 

You used to stand with me

Love

Indelibly, I thought

You said what ever may be

 

Echoes on the mind

Laughs and great designs

Lost in time

 

Straying in the wild

Singing lullabies

To an unborn child

 

You used to stand with me

Love

Indelibly, I thought

You said what ever may be

 

So where'd you go?

 

So tell me What's to live for now? What's to die for now?

Oh I don't know, no I don't know

 

Walking down the road

That used to take us home

Overgrown

” Broken”

Anson Seabra

 

 

“Broken"

 

If you see the boy I used to be, could you tell him that I'd like to find him

And if you see the shell that's left of me, could you spare him a little kindness

 

'Cus I've been high and I've been low, I've spent a thousand nights alone, tryna hold on tight

And feelings come but they won't go, please won't someone take me home before I lose my mind

 

Am I human?

Am I flawed?

Do I deserve a shred of worth or am I just another fake, f*cked up lost cause?

And am I human?

Or am I something else?

'Cus I'm so scared and there's no one there to save me from the nightmare that I call myself

 

I've tried everything and anything but nothing seems to work quite like it should

Between the madness and the apathy, seems there's nothing left inside of me that's good

 

'Cus I've been high and I've been low, I've spent a thousand nights alone, tryna hold on tight

And feelings come but they won't go, please won't someone take me home before I lose my mind

 

Am I human?

Am I flawed?

Do I deserve a shred of worth or am I just another fake, f*cked up lost cause?

And am I human?

Or am I something else?

'Cus I'm so scared and there's no one there to save me from the nightmare that I call myself

 

--humming--

 

Am I human?

Am I flawed?

Do I deserve a shred of worth or am I just another fake, f*cked up lost cause?

And am I human?

Or am I something else?

'Cus I'm so scared and there's no one there to save me from the nightmare that I call myself

” Brave”

Riley Pearce

 

 

"Brave"

 

You're scared 'cause I am too

This feeling in my head

Is being there for too long

We sleep now with the light on

But shadows make shapes in the light

And I don't know what they might be

 

You called me, because I answered

So cover your toes with the jacket

And the bones with the blanket

She tells me that I will be alright

And for a second it feels that I believe her

'Cause I forget the way that I've felt

 

I'm trying, I'm just trying to be brave

I'm just trying to be brave

 

 

There's somebody who heard

That it splits us right down the middle

I'd be coming back for you

 

Are you lost, 'cause I answered

Directions mean nothing in the dark

And I don't know where you stand

The maps are gone, so are our footprints too

To get home now will take something

That I'm not sure if I have left

 

I'm trying, yeah, I'm trying to be brave

I'm just trying to be brave

 

 

There's somebody who heard

That it splits us right down the middle

But I'd be coming back for you

 

I'd be coming back for you

But I'd be coming back for you

But I'd be coming back for you

” Undress Your Soul”

The DuBarrys

 

 

Undress your soul

I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours

We'll all be fine

Lay on the beach, closed our eyes

Listen closely as the water reaches your thighs

I heard the race is only begun

Don't give it up now,

You said to me

Don't give it up now,

You said to me

Don't give it up now

 

You see them free, men are walking

Only one of them is talking about yesterday

Some people ride the biggest tides,

Others they watch of July

I heard the race is only begun

Don't give it up now,

You said to me

Don't give it up now,

You said to me

Don't give it up now

 

Damn damn you're so beautiful,

What you're waiting 'round for?

Damn damn you're so beautiful

 

❤️❤️❤️

” Tight Rope”

Jack Savoretti

 

 

 

"Tight Rope"

 

When I'm down and out

Bruises on my knees

Emptiness and loneliness

My only company

You are the only one

You are the only one

 

Who can help me make it through tonight

I'm not asking, I'm begging

I don't know if I'll ever win this fight

Walking a tight rope hanging over my memories

Help me make it across alive

Help me make it through tonight

 

All these things I do

All the damage done

I'm hurting myself and you

And you are the only one

 

Who can help me make it through tonight

I'm not asking, I'm begging

I don't know if I'll ever win this fight

Walking a tight rope

Hanging over my memories

Help me make it across alive

Help me make it through

 

The devil on my shoulders

Always get the best of me

I know its always been this way

But I know now it doesn't have to be

 

Help me make it through tonight

I'm not asking, I'm begging

I don't know if ill ever win this fight

Help

Walking a tight rope

Hanging over my memories

Help me make it across alive

Help me make it through

Help me make it across alive

Help me make it through

Help me make it across alive

Help me make it through

Help me make it across alive

Help me make it through tonight

"One Way Road To Hell"

The Guess Who

 

Nothing much left to say at social gatherings

Nothing much left behind from the time before

Got to learn about losing and pushing your time

And trying just a bit too hard

 

You're on a one way road to Hell

You're on a one way road to Hell

With every step that you've been taking

Now you're finding out you can't turn around

 

Working like the devil at my desk all day

Wishing that my paperwork would fly away

I've got a paper clip holder and my desk is clean

Woe woe woe woe woe woe woe is me

 

Nothing much left of faith in the Martian industry

A genuine coon skin cap was the prize before

Got to learn about selling and pushing your luck

And trying just a bit too hard

 

You're on a one way road to Hell

You're on a one way road to Hell

And the deeper that you're digging

Now you're finding out you can't turn around

 

Punching lovely buttons for my family

And, if I might add, quite unregrettably

I've got a friend who's a doctor and my blood is clean

Dip dip dip dip dip hooray for me

 

You're on a one way road to Hell

You're on a one way road to Hell

And the deeper that you're digging

Now you're finding out you can't turn around

 

You're on a one way road to Hell

You're on a one way road to Hell

And the deeper that you're digging

Now you're finding out you can't turn around

 

You're on a one way road to Hell

You're on a one way road

Can't turn around

What ya gonna do

What ya gonna do

What ya gonna do

You're digging deeper every day

"Red Bird" - Addict

 

I've been dreaming of a red bird

And the peace of its gentle wings

It's an omen of better things

 

I've been waking with the same pain

That makes me want to sleep

And dream of a red bird

 

So build us a nest

For I've chosen to leave

For I'm so heavy here

 

[CHORUS:]

Come to me tonight

And I'll be waiting with my wings

I will have left the weight behind me

That the blood of man brings

Where there once was despair

Tonight I will be free

And the slings and the stones

That uncovered my bones

Will have flown my memory

 

I've been dreaming of a red bird

It sings of a way out

It sings of release

 

It's been tapping on my window

To remind me it's waiting

And that I have a choice

 

So build us a nest

For I've chosen to leave

For I'm so heavy here

 

[CHORUS]

 

And take me away from here

I am not equipped for such strain

Take away the fear

How do you prepare for the pain

 

Now I'm leaving with the red bird

As my arms leak again

I am so happy here

 

Come to me tonight

And I'll be waiting with my wings

I will have left the weight behind me

That the blood of man brings

Where there once was despair

Tonight I will be free

And the slings and the stones

That uncovered my bones

Will have flown my memory

 

Dreaming of a red bird

The peace of its gentle wings

It's an omen of better things

 

Waking with the same pain

That makes me want to sleep

And dream of a red bird

"Lift Me Up" - Christina Aguilera

https://youtu.be/U_PKY6Lvi6E

 

So the pain begins

As the music fades

And I'm left here with

With more than I can take

 

[CHORUS:]

If you lift me up

Just get me through this night

I know I'll rise tomorrow

And I'll be strong enough to try

 

When the static clears

And all is said and done

I will realize

That we all need someone

 

[CHORUS]

 

So when you see me crashing

And there's nowhere left to fall

Will you lift me even higher

To rise above this all

If you lift me up

Oh, if you lift me up

 

Said if you lift me up

Will you lift me higher

When you see me crashing

Will you lift me even higher

When you see me crashing

And there's nowhere left to fall

Will you lift me even higher

To rise above this all

 

If you lift me up

Said if you lift me up

If you lift me up

Just get me through this night

"Wasted" - Carrie Underwood

 

Standing at the back door

She tried to make it fast

One tear hit the hardwood

It fell like broken glass

She said sometimes love slips away

And you just can't get it back

Let's face it

 

For one split second

She almost turned around

But that would be like pouring raindrops

Back into a cloud

So she took another step and said

I see the way out

And I'm gonna take it

 

I don't wanna spend my life jaded

Waiting to wake up one day and find

That I let all these years go by

Wasted

 

Another glass of whiskey

But it still don't kill the pain

So he stumbles to the sink

And pours it down the drain

He said it's time to be a man

And stop living for yesterday

Gotta face it

 

Cause I don't wanna spend my life jaded

Waiting to wake up one day and find

That I let all these years go by

Wasted

 

Oh I don't wanna keep on wishing

Missing the still of the morning

The color of the night

I ain't spending no more time

Wasted

 

She kept driving along

Till the moon and the sun

Were floating side-by-side

He looked in the mirror

And his eyes were clear

For the first time in a while

 

Oh, I don't wanna spend my life jaded

Waiting to wake up one day and find

That I let all these years go by

Wasted

 

Oh I don't wanna keep on wishing

Missing the still of the morning

The color of the night

I ain't spending no more time

Wasted

"Thanks For Saving My Life"

Billy Paul

 

 

Thanks for saving my life

For picking me up

Dusting me off

Making me feel like I'm living again

 

I'm so glad I ran into you

If I hadn't seen you

I would have been through

 

I was low as low could go

Could not stand anymore

Oh, I could never

Never, never, never repay you

 

I'm so grateful for all the things

You've done for me

Especially listening to my problems

And saving me from misery

 

I just want to say

Thank you, my baby, for saving my life

For picking me up

Dusting me off

Making me feel like I'm living again

 

I'm so glad you came along

You stopped me from singing

That sad, sad song

 

You're the one who erased the pain

My life will never be the same

You're the very one, the only one

That I've been waiting for

 

I just want to thank you

For listening to all of my problems

And being my shelter

In and out of the storm

 

I just want to say

Thank you, my baby, for saving my life

For picking me up

Dusting me off

Putting me all back together

Together, together

 

I can live

Since I found you, baby

Now I can live

Since I got you back, baby

 

I just want to say

Thank you, my baby, for saving my life

Don't you understand

What you've done for me, Baby

We both hooked up

We stayed together

I can't live, I can't live without you, Babe

And didn't you, didn't you

Didn't you save me, Babe

 

I want to thank you for saving my life

"Broken Wings"

 

Mary Black

https://youtu.be/WkBLGaH7TS0

 

Cherish The Ladies

 

A tall tree

Turn and face the west

Oh, we're running with the wind

 

A high clifftop

We're waiting with the rest

For this journey to begin

 

[CHORUS:]

But these broken wings won't fly

These broken wings won't fly

These broken wings won't fly at all

 

And, oh, how we laugh

When maybe we should crawl

And ask to be excused

 

We shout loudly

Have answers to it all

Oh, but we've been refused

 

[CHORUS]

 

Girl child

You're dancing with the stream

Growing with the silver trees

 

Your young questions

You ask me what it means

Oh, but I am not at ease

 

These broken wings won't fly

And these broken wings won't fly

But these broken wings won't fly at all

 

These broken wings won't fly

But these broken wings won't fly

These broken wings won't fly at all
