MP, many thanks for the birthday wishes and to Lapis for the panda news,  :yippee: Hmmmm, sounds like panda daddies are decidedly hands off parents, lol.   

 

Much love hugs and healing energy     

 

 

 

 

 

 

[[La...]]

Yes, I guess panda daddies haven't joined the new generation of dads in terms of playing a more prominent role in parenting. Don't they know it's 2019???!!! Times have changed, Guys!

 

In the meantime, I doubt anyone around here will be sharing cute photos of newborn panda babies. They're pink and bald and slightly alien-looking!

"What It Is" - Kodaline

 

So you're standing in the parking lot of life

And you're trying to figure out your fate tonight

And you hear a sound coming out of the car radio

Saying "Son, if you don't learn, then you will never know"

 

So you try to drag your feet down to the bar

When you're starting to forget just who you are

And they told you it was written in the stars

But you've never had a chance to look that far

 

[CHORUS:]

Yeah, it's just the way it goes

Maybe you'll die young before you're old

Yeah, it's just the way it is

Nobody's gonna tell you how to live

 

In a world that changes every day

It's easy to get lost along the way

In a world that's never as it seems

Where people try to buy and sell their dreams

Where people try to buy and sell their dreams

 

Yeah, it's just the way it goes

Maybe you'll die young before you're old

Yeah, it's just the way it is

Nobody's gonna tell you how to live

Nobody's gonna tell you how to live

(x2)

 

Nobody's gonna tell you how to live

Nobody's gonna tell you how to live

Cause nobody understands just what it is

"The Logical Song"

Supertramp

 

When I was young

It seemed that life was so wonderful

A miracle, oh, it was beautiful, magical

 

And all the birds in the trees

Well, they'd be singing so happily

Oh, joyfully, oh, playfully watching me

 

But then they sent me away

To teach me how to be sensible

Logical, oh, responsible, practical

 

And then they showed me a world

Where I could be so dependable

Oh, clinical, oh, intellectual, cynical

 

[CHORUS:]

There are times when all the world's asleep

The questions run too deep

For such a simple man

Won't you please

Please tell me what we've learned

I know it sounds absurd

But please tell me who I am

 

I said, now watch what you say

Or they'll be calling you a radical

A liberal, oh, fanatical, criminal

 

Oh, won't you sign up your name

We'd like to feel you're acceptable

Respectable, oh, presentable, a vegetable

 

Oh, take, take, take it, yeah

 

But at night when all the world's asleep

The questions run so deep

For such a simple man

Won't you please

Please tell me what we've learned

I know it sounds absurd

But please tell me who I am

Who I am

Who I am

Who I am

 

Cause I was feeling so illogical

D-d-d-d-d-d-digital

Yeah, one, two, three, five

Oh, it's getting unbelievable

"Run" - Collective Soul

https://youtu.be/qtRc4j0ihmE

 

Are these times contagious

I've never been this bored before

Is this the prize I've waited for

 

Now with the hours passing

There's nothing left here to mature

I long to find a messenger

 

Have I got a long way to run

Have I got a long way to run

Yeah, I run

 

Is there a cure among us

From this processed sanity

I weaken with each voice that sings

 

Now in this world of purchase

I'm going to buy back memories

To awaken some old qualities

 

Have I got a long way to run

Have I got a long way to run

Yeah, I run

Yeah, I run

 

Have I got a long way

Have I got a long way

 

Have I got a long way to run

Have I got a long way to run

Yeah, I run

 

Have I got a long way to run

Have I got a long way to run

"The Birds Are Singing"

Sananda Maitreya

(formerly Terence Trent D’Arby)

 

Horses gallop through the fields

The flowers blossom in the garden

Why should I hang on to fear and

Stress, stress, stress and more stress

 

[CHORUS:]

When just outside the birds are singing

And in my heart a bell is ringing

And life is short is what I'm thinking

When just outside the birds are singing

 

Willows swaying in the breeze

A child is playing by the river

Showing me that there is more than

Stress, stress, stress and more stress

 

[CHORUS]

 

I don't want to spend my days in misery

Anticipating

Every day is such an opportunity

To live in the moment, live in the moment

 

Heaven floating in my heart

Makes me happy and excited

I'm laughing as I'm letting go of

Stress, stress, stress and more stress

 

When just outside the birds are singing

And in my heart a bell is ringing

And life is short is what I'm thinking

When just outside the birds are singing

 

When just outside the birds are singing

When just outside the birds are singing

When just outside the birds are singing

The birds are singing

"Two of Us on the Run"

Lucius

 

 

There are two of us on the run

Going so fast every doubt we had is coming undone

And falling behind with everything we left there

We held on for far too long

 

And now we pass so many people on the road

They could come along, I wish they'd been told

They may call it a shot in the dark

From what we know, it's not unheard of

 

And we'll one day tell our story

Of how we made something of ourselves now

 

Our favorite parts are what we'll keep

Ornamental parts of love and parts of memories

So everything else has room to grow

Cause in better light everything changes

 

So we can one day tell our story

Of how we made something of ourselves now

 

There's no race, there's only a runner

Just keep one foot in front of the other

There's no race there's only a runner

 

One, two, three, even when you get tired

Just keep one foot in front of the other

There's no race, no ending in sight

No second too short, no window too tight

 

Just turn off the lights when you leave

Cause we've got everything we're gonna need

We're on the run, we're on the run

We're on the run, child

We gotta run, we gotta run

We gotta run, child

 

One day we'll tell our story

Of how we made something of ourselves now

 

One day we'll tell our story

Of how we made something

We made something of ourselves

"Heaven’s Only Wishful"

MorMor

 

I'm just a poor boy

Waiting for answers

No one heard you coming

I watched the ashes blow away

 

Spent some days with runaways

With the lights out it’s less dangerous

You could kiss the lips of fate

The less we know the less it drains us

 

Close your eyes and see it through

Chaos comes and collects the youth

 

[CHORUS;]

I can feel the cold air when the night comes

Heaven's only wishful

I can feel the cold air when the night comes

Heaven's only wishful

Someone said

 

Each night I wander

Hoping to find meaning

To the nights getting longer

With luck I can break this feeling

 

Life and its horrors

Oh, there's no getting out

Don't tempt these vultures

Oh, who are circling round and round

Don't be the reason

 

Close your eyes and see it through

Chaos comes and collects the youth

 

I can feel the cold air when the night comes

Heaven's only wishful

I can feel the cold air when the night comes

Heaven's only wishful

Someone said

 

Some say

You're the reason

I feel this way

Some say

You're the reason

You're the reason

You're the reason

(Repeat)

"All My Happiness Is Gone"

Purple Mountains

 

Friends are warmer than gold when you're old

And keeping them is harder than you might suppose

Lately, I tend to make strangers wherever I go

Some of them were once people I was happy to know

 

Mounting mileage on the dash

Double darkness falling fast

I keep stressing, pressing on

Way deep down at some substratum

Feels like something really wrong has happened

And I confess I'm barely hanging on

 

All my happiness is gone

All my happiness is gone

It's all gone somewhere beyond

All my happiness is gone

 

Ten thousand afternoons ago

All my happiness just overflowed

That was life at first and goal to go

Me and you and us and them

And all those people way back when

All our hardships were just yardsticks then

You know, you know

 

It's not the purple hills

It's not the silver lakes

It's not the snowcloud shadowed interstates

It's not the icy bike chain rain of Portland, Oregon

Nothing's wrong and no one's asking

But the fear's so strong it leaves you gasping

No way to last out here like this for long

 

Cause everywhere I go, I know

Everywhere I go, I know

 

All my happiness is gone

All my happiness is gone

It's all gone somewhere beyond

All my happiness is gone

 

:'( :'( :'(

"Which Way" - Richard Hawley

 

I'm learning to trust this time

In the jungles of this life

But I'm asking which way do I go

 

Give me some directions please

Solid ground is all I need

Won't you tell me which way do I go

 

Which way do I go

 

I've been living upside-down

Never knowing where I'm bound

Now I'm asking which way do I go

 

Which way do I go

Is it high or low

 

Back in time it would be alright

I really knew where I was going for once in my life

But now that storm has felled my tree

Oh, there's a shadow hanging over me

 

Which way do I go

Which way do I go

Is it high or low

Which way do I go

 

Back in time it would be alright

I really knew where I was going for once in my life

But now that storm has felled my tree

Oh, there's a shadow hanging over me

 

Which way do I go

Which way do I go

Is it high or low

Which way do I go

 

Which way do I go

"Butterfly" - Moony

 

Alone in my retreat

Think about the sense of life

And this is what I feel

It's joy and pain

It's love and hate

The energy inside

I feel it shivering up my spine

Like a crop I wait

 

And if I fall down again

I will raise up to the sky

And if I fall down again

 

I'm a butterfly

Change its color

And there's a reason why

I dry my tears and try to live

Try to live

I'm a butterfly

 

There was meant to be

The only way for me to see

The truth inside of me

It's good and bad

It's white and black

Experiences of life

I try to learn how to survive

Like a crop I await the birth of time

 

And if I fall down again

I will raise up to the sky

And if I fall down again

 

Alone in my retreat

Think about the sense of life

This is what I feel

It's joy and pain

It's love and hate

The energy inside

I feel it shivering up my spine

And like a crop I await the birth of time

 

I'm a butterfly

Change its color

There's a reason why

I dry my tears and try to live

I'm a butterfly

Change its color

There's a reason why

I dry my tears and try to live

 

Try to survive

Oh, butterfly

Change its color

"Life Is A River"

Sophie B. Hawkins

 

 

Don't let fear stop me now

I can't bear to find out

That I've lied to myself

And risked not asking for your help

 

Life is a river

And it flows to the sea

And I won't sit on the banks

And let it roll on by me

 

I'll lead you right on

This glistening trail

And I wont get weary

With your breath in my sails

 

You chose to keep right on

I'm choosing to transform

Just like being born

We'll cross the steamy current

One by one

 

Life is a river

And it flows to the sea

And I won't sit on the banks

And let it roll on by me

 

Oh, I'll lead you right on

This glistening trail

And I wont get weary

With your wind in my sails

 

So come with me, darling

(potatoes fields in summertime)

And leave death behind

(running on the beach to fairyland)

We may steal a moment

(flattening pennies on the rail)

But we wont get, we won't get more time

 

Oh, life is a river

And it flows eternally

Don't worry, my baby

Let's go to the sea

 

Hush, my baby, don't you cry

Mama's gonna sing you a lullaby

"Waiting For the Snow"

Of Monsters and Men

 

I'm waiting for the snow

I'm waiting for vision

So I can feel brighter

I can feel lighter

 

I used to make mountains

But then they grew bigger than me

I thought that I'd climb my way up high

But what if I tumble

 

[CHORUS:]

Have I said too much

Did I love too hard

This steel can't carry me

Now that things are rough

 

I used to make mountains

But then they grew bigger than me

And I used to hunger

So what can you offer me

 

What can you offer me

 

What can you offer me

When you are old

Will you sin for me

What can you offer me

 

Have I said too much

Did I love too hard

This steel can't carry me

Now that things are rough

(x2)

 

So what can you offer me

Now what can you offer me

So what can you offer me

Now, what can you offer me

 

Wherever you are

This steel can't carry me

Wherever you are

And you can't carry me

Carry me

"Don’t Give Up On Me"

RIVVRS

 

I push back the poison

To help me forget

All the voices

Making noise in my head

 

I take another round

I better make it two

I'm staring at the clock

Counting the minutes

That I lost to you

 

[CHORUS:]

Hanging on by a thread

Hanging on to the man I used to be

It feels like we're getting closer to the end

Honey, please don't give up on me yet

Don't give up on me

 

I'm slowly fading

Chasing a ghost

Drifting away

From the weight of my soul

 

This temporary town

That I'm passing through

Don't do a thing

To shake off the minutes

That I lost to you

 

[Chorus]

Hanging on by a thread

Hanging on to the man I used to be

It feels like we're getting closer to the end

Honey, please don't give up on me yet

Don't give up on me

 

Don't give up on me

 

I come undone, come undone

I come undone, come undone

I come undone, come undone

I come undone, come undone

 

Honey, please don't give up on me yet

"No Roots"

Amy MacDonald

 

Somewhere out there

Is a dream that's not forgotten

But this world

Is never stopping for me

 

But I will try

And I will keep on trying

I've set my goals there's no denying

Never stop fighting for what I believe

 

Many people will come and go

Many faces, long lost, you know

Many fights, many makeups

Many kisses, too many breakups

 

[CHORUS:]

I've got no roots

They're not set in stone

I've got no place that I call home

I'm just a low, low, lonely soul

(x2)

 

And the time will come

When the day is done

And the fighting's over

And the race is run

I don't know what I'm looking for

 

And this life I lead

It's a curious thing

But I can't deny the happiness it brings

I don't know what I'm looking for

 

Many people will come and go

Many faces, long lost, you know

I'm just a low, low, lonely soul

 

And there'll be many fights

Many makeups

Many kisses

Too many breakups

A low, low, lonely soul

 

I've got no roots

They're not set in stone

I've got no place that I call home

I'm just a low, low, lonely soul

"Fly Like An Eagle"

Stereophonics

 

Thinking about quitting

Think it's time now

Think it's all over

Quieten my mind

 

Everybody's laughing

Everybody's sure

Nothing seems likely

Nothing's unknown

 

Did you ever feel like everything's falling

To fly like an eagle into the dawning

You know I always feel like the blinds are drawing

To fly like an eagle and deaths are reborning

 

[CHORUS:]

Hey, hey, my, my

Everything's gonna be alright

Hey hey, my my

Everything's gonna be just fine

 

Maybe I'm grieving

Maybe I'm dead

Maybe I'm leaving hearts like lead

 

Something feels missing

Something ain't right

Remember first kissing

My heart fell wide

 

Did you ever feel like everything's falling

To fly like an eagle into the dawning

You know I always feel like the skies are falling

To fly like an eagle and deaths are reborning

 

Hey hey, my my

Everything's gonna be alright

Hey hey, my my

Everything's gonna be just fine

 

Oh, nothing last forever

Oh, nothing suits me better

Oh, and I don't feel so clever

But I'm trying to improve, oh

 

So, hey, hey, my, my

Everything's gonna be alright

Hey, hey, my, my

Everything's gonna be just fine

 

Oh, hey, hey, my, my

Everything's gonna be alright

Hey, hey, my, my

Everything's gonna be just fine

 

Did you ever feel like everything's falling

To fly like an eagle into the dawning

You know I always feel like the skies are falling

To fly like an eagle and deaths are reborning

"Friends For Life"

Julee Cruise

 

 

In this world of many people

You and I live and love on many lands

We dance, we fly, we laught, we cry

The river of our life flows

 

Through the changing waters

A shining truth we see

We will always strive to be friends

Friends for life

 

In this world of many colors

The storms of life, the joys of life move by

The dark, the light, the day, the night

The river of our life flows

 

Through the changing waters

A shining truth we see

We will always strive to be friends

Friends for life

 

We are friends

Friends for life

Storms and blizzards overcame the earth,

White birds my to the sun departed.

The lost trail

Hurry to a distant land,

In the far land, in a hard way

To bright, Sunny years.

Find my joy,

What kind of grief was lost,

Bring the song to me

About the born spring.

 

Find the ray that closed the clouds,

And a spring of living water will water the gardens.

Seek in silence

Voice gentle, a favorite,

Hands warm, giving strength

Return her gaze to me.

Bring me fun

Mountain rivers and spring rivers,

Heat of human hearts warmed

Free spirit of wandering the warm wind.

 

Ask the sky not darken from anger,

Ask the fields of peaceful expanse,

Ask forest

Sonorous votes,

To say about how difficult

The way of the soul hurrying to people.

Find the Islands,

Where is the green grass -

In it live love and world

Forgotten words.
