"To Hell and Back Again"

Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan

 

I'm in despair

I cannot win

I have been to Hell

And back again

 

My doctor knows

He comes and goes

For I'm at your door

I'm knee up in the storm

 

My sister says

That I should rest

She's been there too

And she knows best

 

A spirit's close

I love the most

The Father, Son

And Holy Ghost

 

Nothing to fear

When he draws near

As the twilight falls

To wipe away your tears

 

When he laid me down

When he brought me around

My baby's prayer

The sweetest sound

 

I'm in despair

I cannot win

I've been to Hell

And back again

 

And back again

And back again

And back again

Come back again

"If These Are The Things"

Tracy Chapman

 

These are the things that

Dreams are made of

Why don't I dream

Anymore

 

I've tried to tell myself

Nothing's changed, my dear

But I look around me

And see maybe that's not so

 

Cause I only have nightmares

I wake up with cold sweat

Coming through my pores

Why don't I dream anymore

 

In the garden

All the trees bear fruit

I have to pick them now

Before they fall

I finally grab one

I hold it in my hand

I open it up

It's rotten to the core

 

Why don't I dream anymore

 

If these are the things that

Dreams are made of

Why don't I dream

Anymore

 

We lose our patience

We lose our trust

Yes we lose our innocence

We forget our sorrow and hide our pain

We lose old memories

 

But dreams

Are what life's worth living for

I wish I could dream

Once more

 

I'm in the garden

All the trees bear fruit

I have to pick them up

Before they fall

I finally grab one

I hold it in my hand

I open it up

It's rotten to the core

 

Why don't I dream anymore

 

If these are the things that

Dreams are made of

Why don't I dream

Anymore

 

I've tried to tell myself

It's all for the best, my dear

But I look around me and think

Maybe that's not so

 

I only have nightmares

Wake up in a cold sweat

Have I become as corrupt

As all I abhor

 

Why don't I dream anymore

 

I'm in the garden

All the trees bear fruit

I have to pick them now

Before they fall

I finally grab one

I hold it in my hand

I open it up

It's rotten to the core

 

Why don't I dream anymore

 

If these are the things that

Dreams are made of

If these are the things that

Dreams are made of

If these are the things that

Dreams are made of

 

I don't want anymore

I don't want anymore

I don't want anymore

"Cast Off All My Fears"

Hourglass

https://youtu.be/b_kVUWmU-No

 

Once I was on my own and falling

Once I was all alone and calling

For someone, anyone today

To help me just a little on my way

 

And then I took a look around

I saw the love that surrounded me

I knew that it was up to me

To cast off all the fears that bound me

Oh, to cast off all the fears that bound me

 

You'll find you can't go on depending

On ways to help you in defending

Your reason for being who you are

And asking for that lightest brightest star

 

I found that all I had to do

Was believe in the things that were true to me

And let it happen naturally

And cast off all the fears that bound me

I had to cast off all the fears that bound me

(x2)

"Love Me Anyway"

Pink feat. Chris Stapleton

 

 

Even if you see my scars

Even if I break your heart

If we're a million miles apart

Do you think you'd walk away

 

Are you lost in all the noise

Even if I lose my voice

Flirt with all the other boys

What would you say

 

Could you

Could you

Could you love me anyway

 

Is it for better or for worse

Or am I just your good-time girl

Would you still hold me when it hurts

Or would you walk away

 

Even if I scandalize you

Cut you down and criticize you

Tell a million lies about you

What would you say

 

Could you

Could you

Could you

Could you love me anyway

(x2)

 

Could you

 

Could you

Could you still love me

Could you

Pick up the pieces of me

Could you

Could you still love me

Could you love me anyway

(x20

 

Could you

Will you catch me when I fall

Could you

And we rise above it all

Could you

Will you hold me when it hurts

Like it's the end of the world

 

Could you

Could you

Could you

Could you

I'm Not Alright by Sanctus Real. 

 

 

 

 

 

If weakness is a wound

That no one wants to speak of

Then cool is just how far we have to fall...

 

And I am not immune

I only want to be loved

But I feel safe behind the firewall...

 

Can I loose my need to impress

If you want the truth, I need to confess...

 

I'm not alright

I'm broken inside, broken inside

And all I go through

It leads me to you, it leads me to you.

 

Burn away the pride

Bring me to my weakness

Until everything I hide behind is gone...

And when I'm open wide

With nothing left to cling to

Only you are there to lead me on

Cause honestly, I'm not that strong.

 

I'm not alright

I'm broken inside, broken inside

And all I go through

It leads me to you, it leads me to you.

 

And I move, and I move, and I move, closer to you

And I…

"All Mirrors" - Angel Olsen

 

I've been watching

All of my past repeating

There's no ending

And when I stop pretending

See you standing

A million moments landing

On your smile

Buried alive

I could have died to stay there

Never have to leave there

 

All this trouble trying

Trying to catch right up with me

I keep moving

Knowing someday that I will be

Standing, facing

All mirrors are erasing

Losing beauty

At least at times it knew me

At least at times it knew me

At least at times it knew me

 

Standing, facing

All mirrors are erasing

Losing beauty

At least at times it knew me

(x2)

 

At least at times it knew me

At least at times it knew me

At least at times it knew me

At least at times it knew me

"Broken Wheel" - Isaac Gracie

 

Well, I can hear the world turning

To the sound of a broken wheel

And I listen as I learn how to feel

 

Well, somewhere

There's a shattered window

Reflecting the both of us

Showing seven different shades

Of lust and trust

 

[CHORUS:]

Sweet embrace

All my days I've been holding on

I'd give it all but they just wanna take

Sweet embrace

All my days I've been holding on

I'd give it all

But this world just wants to take

 

Sorrow, sorrow

Let me go

Sorrow, sorrow

Let me go

 

The birds are singing songs

In the morning

The songs of sticks and worms

As I'm waiting

For that broken wheel to turn

 

Staring at my own reflection

And wondering what I'd see

If I let my imperfections

Get a hold of me

 

Sorrow, sorrow

Let me go

Sorrow, sorrow

Let me go

 

Sweet embrace

All my days I've been holding on

I'd give it all but they just wanna take

Sweet embrace

All my days I've been holding on

I'd give it all

But this world just wants to take

(x2)

"Bird" - Indians

 

Bird in a tree

He is on his way

Oh, with no one to blame

 

Climbing a hill

It is me again

Oh, it's always the same

 

But on the top we will find love

But, oh bird, you flew away

On our way we will have hope

But, oh bird, you flew away

 

Our walks are now

Across the field

But I feel that you're still near

 

But anyway

But anyway, bird

But anyway

But anyway, bird

 

Bird likes to be

But he can't stay

Oh, it's always the same

 

Flying the hills

It's you again

Oh, with no one to blame

 

But on the top we will find love

But, oh bird, you flew away

On our way we will have hope

But, oh bird, you flew away

 

Our walks are now

Across the field

But I feel that you're still near

 

But anyway

But anyway, bird

But anyway

But anyway, bird

"I Ain't Sinkin' Yet" - Jann Arden

 

This room is an ocean

I've been tossed in and I'm lost

If you look through, through the window

You'd see I'm barely holding on

 

Oh, the compass spins round

I'm not sure that I'll ever be found

Oh, I lost track of time when you left me

I thought I would drown

But I ain't sinkin' yet

 

Oh, as long as I've got a little wind in my sails

As long as I've got a little hope left to help me

As long as I feel this thing beating down in my chest

I ain't sinkin' yet

 

Breathe in and breathe out

It's all I remember how to do

And minutes turn to hours

And one more day I've gotten through

 

What doesn't kill you

Just hurts till you're better I guess

And the weight of your words

Are still hanging like chains round my neck

But I ain't sinkin' yet

 

For as long as I've got a little wind in my sails

As long as I've got a little hope left to help me

As long as I feel this thing beating down in my chest

 

And the more that I wish you were here

The deeper it's gets

But I'll keep my head up

With the last bit of strength I have left

I ain't sinkin' yet

 

The more that I wish you were here

The deeper it gets

But I'll keep my head up

With the last bit of strength I have left

 

As long as I've got a little wind in my sails

As long as I've got a little hope left to help me

As long as I feel this compass spin round

As long as I feel this thing beating down in my chest

 

No, I ain't sinkin' yet

No, I ain't sinkin' yet

"I'll Still Love You More"

Trisha Yearwood

 

http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/english/doc/2006-01/04/xin_06010304071215605481.jpg

 

Ask me how much you mean to me

And I wouldn't even know where to start

Ask if this love runs deep in me

You won't find a deeper love in any heart

 

You could say you couldn't live one day without me

You could say all of your thoughts are about me

You could think no other love could be as strong

But you'd be wrong

You'd be wrong

 

[CHORUS:]

If you say that you love me

More than anybody

Than anyone's ever been loved before

As much as you love me

My Baby, I'll still love you

My Baby, I'll still love you more

I'll still love you more

 

Ask me just what I'd do for you

And I'll tell you I would do anything

Ask if this heart beats true for you

And I'll show you a truer heart could never be

 

You could say there's not a star that you won't bring me

You could say there'll be no day that you won't need me

You could think no other love could last as long

But you'd be wrong

You'd be wrong

 

[CHORUS]

 

And for every kiss

I'll kiss you back a hundred times

And for everything you do

I'll just do more

And for all the love you give

I'll give you so much back you'll see

Got so much love for you inside

 

If you say that you love me

More than anybody

Than anyone's ever been loved before

As much as you love me

My Baby, I'll still love you

My Baby, I'll still love you more

I'll still love you more

The night was like the pain,

Sleeping Land. Let him rest.

The Earth, like you and me.,

There, ahead, a long, as life, path.

 

Chorus:

 

I'll take this big world,

Every day, every hour,

If I forget something, —

It is unlikely the stars will take us.

If I forget something, —

It is unlikely the stars will take us.

 

I'll take the birds of the earth,

I'll take the good streams splash,

I'll take the light of lightning,

Whispering winds, winter empty forest.

 

Chorus:

 

I'll take this big world,

Every day, every hour,

If I forget something, —

It is unlikely the stars will take us.

If I forget something, —

It is unlikely the stars will take us.

 

I'll take the memory of the earth miles,

I will sail into the ripe, dense flax.

Way back there by the blue stars

The sun of the Earth will Shine on me.

 

Chorus:

 

I'll take this big world,

Every day, every hour,

If I forget something, —

It is unlikely the stars will take us.

If I forget something, —

It is unlikely the stars will take us.

If long, long, long,

If long on a footpath,

If you long on the track

Stomp, ride and run -

The, perhaps, then, of course,

The, perhaps-is true-is true,

It is possible-possible-possible

You can come to Africa!

 

Oh, in Africa, rivers this wide.,

Ah, in Africa the mountains are so high,

Ah, crocodiles - hippos,

Oh, the monkeys - sperm whales,

And-and - and green parrot!

And-and - and green parrot!

 

If only - only - only,

If only on the track,

If only on path

I'll meet someone,

The one I'll meet,

Even the beast-believe-believe

I will not forget

I will say HELLO!

 

Oh, Hello river that wide,

Hello, mountains this high,

Ah, crocodiles - hippos,

Oh, the monkeys - sperm whales,

And-and - and green parrot!

And-and - and green parrot!

 

But of course, but of course,

If you're so lazy,

If you're so shy -

Stay home!

To anything you care about,

Slopes-mountains-mountains,

Gullies-rivers-raki -

Watch your legs!

 

Why do you the sea, that wide,

Why the sky so high,

Ah, crocodiles - hippos,

Oh, the monkeys - sperm whales,

And-and - and green parrot!

And-and - and green parrot!

Hey Dove, that's Darius Rucker, lead singer of Hootie and the Blowfish.  It's stunning with the orchestra, isn't it, I have to admit I've played this song probably twenty plus times since you posted it  .  So THANKS again, love it!!!

"Crippled Bird" - Dolly Parton

 

A broken heart like a broken wing

It must have its time to mend

I am like a crippled bird

In hopes one day to fly again

 

I loved you so and I was faithful

I cared more than words could say

But love is cruel and life is hateful

Now you've gone and flown away

 

Oh, to die, it would be a pleasure

Slow to heal but quick to cry

Fragile as a sparrow's feather

Crippled bird too blue to fly

 

Oh, the loss is cold and shameful

And the grief so deep and sharp

And there is nothing quite as painful

As a true blue broken heart

 

Oh, to die, it would be a pleasure

Slow to heal but quick to cry

Fragile as a sparrow's feather

Crippled bird too blue to fly

 

Fragile as a sparrow's feather

Crippled bird too blue to fly

"When We Were Young"

Hollow Coves

 

We took time to see the sun

Crossing rivers as we'd run

Chasing birds down by the lake

In the mud

 

We would climb up in the trees

Up high among the leaves

We were wild and we were free

When we were young

 

And now we're older

And we feel the world at our feet

As time turns we drift away

Wish we were young again

 

We built castles in the sand

Felt like emperors of the land

Making walls to stop the waves

From coming up

 

We found joy in little things

Like imaginary scenes

Oh, I miss the way we were

When we were young

 

And now we're older

And we feel the world at our feet

As time turns we drift away

And, oh, how time flies

Then you realize forgotten dreams

Got lost along the way

Wish we were young again

 

Wish we were young again

 

But there's still so much to see

In this life in front of me

Like pages of a book

Still un-turned

 

We could sail the seven seas

Even raise a family

We could dream just like we did

When we were young

 

Cause now we're older

And we feel the world at our feet

As time turns we drift away

And, oh, how time flies

Then you realize forgotten dreams

Got lost along the way

Wish we were young again

 

Wish we were young again
