"Winning"

 

Santana                                          Keith Urban

https://youtu.be/0FmPg4lrBKc         

 

One day I was on the ground

When I needed a hand

And it couldn't be found

I was so far down

That I couldn't get up

 

You know and

One day I was one of life's losers

Even my friends were my accusers

And in my head lost before I'd begun

 

I had a dream

But it turned to dust

And what I thought was love

That must have been lust

 

I was living in style

When the walls fell in

When I played my hand

It looked like a joker

 

Turned around

Fate must have woke up

Cause lady luck she was

Waiting outside the door

 

I'm winning, I'm winning, I'm winning

I'm winning, I'm winning

And I don't intend on losing again

 

Too bad it belonged to me

It was the wrong time

And not meant to be

It took a long time

But I'm new born now

 

I can see the day

That I've been looking for

And it's agreed there's a need

To play the game and to win again

 

I'm winning, I'm winning, I'm winning

I'm winning, I'm winning

And I don't intend on losing again

 

I had a dream

But it turned to dust

And what I thought was love

That must have been lust

 

I was living in style

When the walls fell in

When I played my hand

It looked like a joker

 

Turned around

Fate must have woke up

Cause lady luck she was

Waiting outside the door

 

I'm winning, I'm winning, I'm winning

I'm winning

I'm winning

"Higher Ground" - Heather Nova

 

 

Why do I

Follow this heart of mine

Risk my life

Follow it every time

 

Ride the waves

Into the wild beyond

To bring you hope

That's what I'm riding on

 

It's what I see inside

See in your eyes

 

[CHORUS:]

I can pull you from the wreckage

I can save your life

I can bring you what you need

I can make it alright

But it's you

Who lifts me to higher ground

It's you

Who lifts me to higher ground

 

Why do I

Follow the call again

No one hears

But I can feel your pain

 

Worlds away

Everyone's looking through

Glory fades

But it's what I am to you

 

It's what I see inside

See in your eyes

 

[CHORUS]

 

It's you who lifts me to higher ground

It's you, it's you

It's you

 

I can pull you from the wreckage

I can save your life

I can bring you what you need

I can make it alright

But it's you

Who lifts me to higher ground, yeah

It's you

Who lifts me to higher ground

(x2)

 

Yeah, it's you

Who lifts me to higher ground

Is that love...or something else?!

So many songs, each day a different one, this one always good to hear:

 

[[Fo...]]

Tomorrow is a long time -Bob Dylan    Since I lost my wife.

 

Lyrics

 

If today was not an endless highway

If tonight was not a crooked trail

If tomorrow wasn't such a long time,

Then lonesome would mean nothing to you at all

Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin'

Yes, and if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin'

Only if she was lyin' by me

Then I'd lie in my bed once again

 

 

[[...]]

 

 

 

 

:laugh:

 

 

 

 

Is that love...or something else?!

 

It's always love or something else with Shook, Lap, you should know that by now.

 

 

 

 

So many songs, each day a different one, this one always good to hear:

 

 

And some days, each hour a different one, right? 

Nice one from The Boss, xf, hadn't heard that version before. 

 

 

 

 

Tomorrow is a long time -Bob Dylan    Since I lost my wife.

 

Lyrics

 

If today was not an endless highway

If tonight was not a crooked trail

If tomorrow wasn't such a long time,

Then lonesome would mean nothing to you at all

Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin'

Yes, and if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin'

Only if she was lyin' by me

Then I'd lie in my bed once again

 

 

 

So sorry for your loss, Forty. :'(       

Here's the link, very poignant tune!

"Dig Your Own Hole" - Gotye

 

And you know it's the wrong way round

Still you can't say no

Ever playing upon your mind

But you won't say why

 

--- So shut up ---

Unless you're ready to leave it

--- Or make up your mind ---

But you need it so much

--- Do you really believe in it? ---

Yes I do, from time to time

 

In the end

You dig yourself the hole you're in

When you don't know what you want

You just repeat yourself again

In the end

You just repeat yourself again

When you don't know who you are

You dig yourself the hole you're in

 

--- Don't worry ---

It's only in your mind

--- Don't worry ---

But I do, from time to time

 

You just repeat yourself again

--- Don't worry ---

You just repeat yourself again

--- Don't worry ---

You just repeat yourself again

--- Don't worry ---

You just repeat yourself again

 

Still it's the wrong way round

And you won't say no

Ever playing upon your mind

But you won't say why

 

--- So shut up ---

Unless you're ready to leave it

--- Or make up your mind ---

But you need it so much

--- Do you really believe in it? ---

Yes I do, I do, this time

 

In the end

You dig yourself the hole you're in

When you don't know what you want

You just repeat yourself again

In the end

You just repeat yourself again

When you don't know who you are

You dig yourself the hole you're in

 

In the end

You just repeat yourself again

When you don't know who you are

You dig yourself the hole you're in

"Know It All" - Jeff Carl 

 

Being young doesn’t make you young

Being old doesn’t make you done

You make you, and you’re always changing

But only you control your making

 

Lost or won, what all have you done

How many of your songs have you sung

Who are you and why should they listen

Well it’s not you that needs the reason

 

You’ll never reap what you don’t sow

You’re always thinking that you know it all

And you do, you do, you do

You know it all, sure, nothing’s new

 

Yet another day turned into night

Just another baby bird postponing flight

Isn’t it absurd you’re living up so high

When no one has heard you and you won’t try

 

You’ll never reap what you don’t sow

You’re always thinking that you know it all

And you do, you do, you do

You know it all

 

It’s true that it hurts every time you fall

That before you run, you’ve gotta learn to crawl

That before you get, you gotta give it all

That the tallest mountain started out small

 

You’ll never reap what you don’t sow

You’re always thinking that you know it all

And you do, you do, you do

You know it all, sure, nothing’s

 

You’ll never reap what you don’t sow

You’re always thinking that you know it all

And you do, you do, you do

You know it all, sure, nothing’s new

"Everything's Different, Nothing's Changed"

Armon Jay

 

I'm feeling unsteady

A little off-balance

I got a few more vices

Than good habits

 

See I been looking for a quick fix

Relief from the tension

But two wrongs

Don't make a right way to get it

 

[CHORUS:]

I'm losing patience fast

Treating the symptoms

When the sickness always comes back

It's like I'm stuck

In between the cure and the disease

I can't leave but I can't stay

Everything's different, nothing's changed

 

I've got a broken record

With a lot of scratches

But I keep on playing it

To stay distracted

 

Cause when I lift the needle

I can't bear the silence

And I'm starting to think

I'm better off in the static

 

[CHORUS]

 

I'm walking straight

Just in a crooked way

I'm getting out alive

But I still have some dead weight

 

I ain't falling behind

I ain't making headway

Everything's different

Nothing's changed

 

 

I will wait for

I will wait for you

I will wait for

I will wait for you

 

I will wait for

I will wait for you

I will wait for

I will wait for you

 

I will wait for

I will wait for you

"Eagle" - Carole King

 

[CHORUS:]

Eagle wants to fly again

Though she's been shot down

You can see her trying

Though her wings still touch the ground

Soon she's gonna rise up

With a pure and joyful sound

Fly, Eagle

 

Strong heart feels abandoned

He's been away from what he loves the best

But his spirit isn't broken

He feels content around the Eagle's nest

Oh, but you can feel his patience

And you know whatever a strong heart does

He never longs for what was

He lives each moment to the end

 

[CHORUS]

 

Through it all she tends her young ones

Doing what she can to help them grow

Maybe they will fly away before her

And her only choice is just to let them go

 

Eagle sees her sister

Living free up on the mountain top

So she doubles her efforts

Until you think that she is bound to drop

 

Oh, but Eagle has the courage

You can tell that she's been felled before

She was born to soar

And she's gonna soar again

 

Eagle's going to fly again

Though she's been shot down

You can see her trying

Though her wings still touch the ground

Soon she's gonna rise up

With a pure and joyful sound

Fly, Eagle

 

Oh, fly high, Eagle

Fly away, Eagle

You're gonna fly high

Fly, Eagle

Fly, Eagle

Fly away, Eagle

Fly, Eagle

Fly high, Eagle

"To the Moon and Back"

Bonnie Tyler

https://youtu.be/_-Grmdnt5ak

 

 

I love you all the way

To the moon and back

I love you all around the world

And I hope you know that

 

A love as high as mountains

A love as deep as seas

I love you like an ocean

So much bigger than me

 

I'm not alone when I dream

Cause you feel the same as me

 

A love like ours don't come and go

And we'll share this house and we'll make it home

And I will love you till the stars go black

I will love you to the moon and back

 

No matter what life throws

It don't seem so hard

With you by my side

I always live, I breathe, I laught

 

And we have got each other

In this crazy world

As long as we're together

Nothing ever really hurts

 

Now I'm not alone when I dream

Cause you feel the same as me

 

A love like ours won't come and go

And we'll share this house and we'll make it home

I will love you till the stars go black

I will love you to the moon and back

 

And we'll take these moments

As they come along

I'll be there always if I could

You know I would, with you I do belong

 

A love like ours don't come and go

And we'll share this house and we'll make it home

I will love you till the stars go black

I will love you to the moon

 

And I will love you till the stars go black

I will love you to the moon and back

Wait, let the sunset fall on your shoulders

I haven't breathed, I haven't heard you laugh yet

Wait, you might scare off the evening.

And we'll lose each other in the dark.

We closed our eyes and invented a faraway island

We came up with the wind and their names

Don't know yet, who among us at dawn

Wait, that probably hid a wave...

This island where everything is wrong

As it once seemed to us

This island where every step

Like a bell in the sky

Wait, let the sunset fall on your shoulders

I haven't breathed, I haven't breathed so easily

Wait, the wind will do everything for you

He erases the traces of our feet buried in the sand...

This island where everything is wrong

As it once seemed to us

This island where every step

Like a bell in the sky

Very poetic!   Thanks for translating, bazil ... it helps.

"My Body is a Cage" - Arcade Fire

 

[CHORUS:]

My body is a cage

That keeps me from dancing

With the one I love

But my mind holds the key

(x2)

 

I'm standing on a stage

Of fear and self-doubt

It's a hollow play

But they'll clap anyway

 

[CHORUS]

 

You're standing next to me

My mind holds the key

 

I'm living in an age

That calls darkness light

Though my language is dead

Still the shapes fill my head

 

I'm living in an age

Whose name I don't know

Though the fear keeps me moving

Still my heart beats so slow

 

[CHORUS]

 

You're standing next to me

My mind holds the key

My body is a cage

 

My body is a cage

We take what we're given

Just because you've forgotten

That don't mean you're forgiven

 

I'm living in an age

That screams my name at night

But when I get to the doorway

There's no one in sight

 

I'm living in an age

That laughs when I'm dancing

With the one I love

But my mind holds the key

 

You're standing next to me

My mind holds the key

 

Set my spirit free

Set my spirit free

Set my body free

Set my body free

 

Set my spirit free

Set my body free

"It Only Hurts" - Default

 

Can hold my breath only for a little while

Until reality starts sinking in

Once again settling for second best

I turn the page and skip to the end

To where I swore that I would try

Since the last time I crossed that line

In the back of my mind

 

[CHORUS:]

I know it only hurts when your eyes are open

Lies get tossed and truth is spoken

It only hurts when that door gets opened

Dreams are lost and hearts are broken

 

Miles away, promise from a burning bed

Two worlds should never collide

One word would end it if you ever heard

I tear the page out that reminds me

When I swore that I'd be strong

Now the next time has come and gone

Well maybe I'm wrong

 

[CHORUS]

 

I know what you're feeling

Its hard to believe in

Someone, someone, who's not there

I know that you're waiting

Cause love is worth saving

But only for so long

so long, so long

 

I swore that I would try

Since the last time

The last time

 

It only hurts when your eyes are open

Lies get tossed and truth is spoken

It only hurts when that door gets opened

Dreams are lost and hearts are broken

(x2)

"At this Point in My Life"

Tracy Chapman

 

Done so many things wrong

I don't know if I can do right

Oh I, Oh I've done so many things wrong

I don't know if I can do right

 

At this point in my life

I've done so many things wrong

I don't know if I can do right

If you put your trust in me

I hope I won't let you down

If you give me a chance I'll try

 

You see it's been a hard road

The road I'm traveling on

And if I take your hand

I might lead you down the path to ruin

 

I've had a hard life

I'm just saying it so you'll understand

That right now, right now

I'm doing the best I can

At this point in my life

 

At this point in my life

Although I've mostly walked in the shadows

I'm still searching for the light

Won't you put your faith in me

We both know that's what matters

If you give me a chance I'll try

 

You see I've been climbing stairs

But mostly stumbling down

I've been reaching high

Always losing ground

You see I've conquered hills

But I still have mountains to climb

 

And right now right now

I'm doing the best I can

At this point in my life

 

Before we take a step

Before we walk down that path

Before I make any promises

Before you have regrets

Before we talk committment

Let me tell you of my past

All I've seen and all I've done

The things I'd like to forget

At this point in my life

 

At this point in my life

I'd like to live

As if only love mattered

As if redemption was in sight

As if the search to live honestly

Is all that anyone needs

No matter if you find it

 

You see when I've touched the sky

The earth's gravity has pulled me down

But now I've reconciled that in this world

Birds and angels get the wings to fly

 

If you can believe in this heart of mine

If you can give it a try

Then I'll reach inside and find and give you

All the sweetness that I have

Oh at this point in my life

 

At this point in my life

[[...]]

"Bird in a Cage" - Sugarland

 

It's safe and quiet

All you've ever known

You didn't choose it

But you call it home

 

You wouldn't have these wings

If you weren't meant to fly

It's where you'll learn to sing

I'll meet you on the outside

 

[CHORUS:]

Bird in a cage

Don't know that you were born

To fly away

The world's a bigger place

Than all the fear you face

It's hard to explain

To a bird in a cage

 

You dreamed you heard a song

Outside the open door

They told you it was wrong

So you don't dream no more

 

They tell you to believe

What they believe is right

Will you choose fight

Or flight

 

[CHORUS]

 

Same hands that hold your prayer

Same hands that keep you there

You try to shift the blame

When there's nowhere to put the pain

But who you are is back behind it

And I believe that you can find it

When the dark feels like it's darker

You've tried easy

Now try harder to change

 

You're not a bird in a cage

You were born to fly away

The world's a bigger place

Than all the fear you face

And you were never made

 

Are we all birds in a cage

Are we all born this way

We try not to think about it

What we would be without it

 

You were never made

To be a bird in a cage

You were born to fly away

The world's a bigger place

Than all the fear you face

And you were never made

To be a bird in a cage

"Help Me Make it Through the Night"

 

LeAnn Rimes                                  Tina Turner                                              Joan Baez

https://youtu.be/fBjqcImuj0s        https://youtu.be/7hO2Qes7y-M             

 

 

Take the ribbon from my hair

Shake it loose and let it fall

Playing soft against your skin

Like the shadows on the wall

 

Come and lay down by my side

Till the early morning light

All I'm taking is your time

Help me make it through the night

 

I don't care what's right or wrong

I won't try to understand

Let the devil take tomorrow

Lord, tonight I need a friend

 

Yesterday is dead and gone

And tomorrow's out of sight

And it's so sad to be alone

Help me make it through the night

 

I don't care who's right or wrong

I won't try to understand

Let the devil take tomorrow

Lord, tonight I need a friend

 

Yesterday is dead and gone

And tomorrow's out of sight

I don't wanna be alone

Help me make it through the night

 

I'm too sad to be alone

Help me make it through the night

Advertising lights, neon lights

The city has my back and hurries me.

I'm in no hurry, I'm breathing,

And he can't take what's mine.

Wait a minute, my wind hasn't stopped.,

I like it here in the Kingdom of Curves.

Wait a minute, wait a minute... My wind did not die,

I like it here in the Kingdom of Curves.

There's no money waiting to be burned.,

In their power to give happiness and happiness to take away.

But not me, I'm on my own.,

And the dark streets beckon me.

Wait a minute, my wind hasn't stopped.,

I like it here in the Kingdom of Curves.

Wait a minute, wait a minute... My wind did not die,

I like this...

He is busy with the game, and every second

Yes, every second slows his step.

But not me, I'm cheerful and drunk,

I'm just starting to breathe.
