" She Gathers Rain"

 

Collective Soul

 

 

 

Today she dresses

For the change she's facing now

And the storm that's raging

A safe haven she has found

She doesn't care

What the prophets say anymore

For the love she had

She has no more

So she gathers rain

She gathers rain

To rinse away all her guilt and pain

She gathers rain

She gathers rain

To wash and cleanse and make

her whole again

 

Her imagination

Has started stretching wide

And her new conviction

No longer will she hide

She's not branded

When prophets speak words of fire

The same love she gives

She requires

So she gathers rain

She gathers rain

To rinse away all her guilt and pain

She gathers rain

She gathers rain

To wash and cleanse and make

her whole again

Nomo and Fiona thank you both for your kind comments about the music and how it moves you as well. Hugs to you both.  I've found so much solace recently in music. That wasn't always the case for many many years music was lost to me, and now it is truly a gift I'm rediscovering. All of this speaks to me deeply and I'm happy if even one song touches someone else. ❤️ I've spent many hours on this thread discovering music. In the spirit of the thread it's what speaks to us on any given day. This one is speaking to me today although I'm sure it's buried here somewhere I'm breaking with tradition and bumping! 

 

 

Thank you Saga! Hugs to you as well! 

 

I'm so happy to hear you have music now!  It would be truly heartbreaking to lose music as it really does have the power to help heal us if we let it!  Thank you for sharing what moves you!

 

Sending you Love and Light,

Fifi

I have also never shared these tidbits with anyone! LOL  I'm not ashamed, I just know they  are hokey or corney to most people.  To me they signal I have turned a difficult corner.

 

Thank you again for giving me a place to share this!  Sending you Love and Light Abcd! 

 

That's so great to hear, Fifi (love that name) .. well worthy of celebration ... the hokier and cornier the better in my books.

Okay, so not trying to overshadow you or anything, but this is the song I sing to my dog ...

Wrong link, lol, exhaustion

 

 

Thanks for this special song, MB, our beautiful special song.  And so there I was, my eyes brimming with tears, feeling oh ever so nostalgic and overcome with the warm and fuzzies.  Until ... I clicked the link ... And ... This was my reaction ...

Good job, MB, thanks for ruining such a poignant moment.  Fail! 

 

Okay, and now back to regular programming!

"Glass" - Ross Copperman

 

Trying to live in love

With a heart that can't be broken

Is like trying to see the light

With eyes that can't be opened

Yeah, we're both carrying baggage

We've picked up on our way

So if you love me do it gently

And I will do the same

 

We may shine or we may shatter

We may be picking up the pieces hereon after

We are fragile and we are human

We are shaped by the light we let through us

But we break fast

Cause we are glass

We are glass

 

I'll let you look inside me

Through the stains and through the cracks

And in the darkness of this moment

You'll see the good and bad

But try not to judge me

Cause we've walked down different paths

But it brought us here together

So I won't take that back

 

We may shine or we may shatter

We may be picking up the pieces hereon after

We are fragile and we are human

We are shaped by the light we let through us

But we break fast

Cause we are glass

 

We might be oil and water

This could be a big mistake

We may burn like gasoline in fire

It's a chance we'll have to take

 

We may shine or we may shatter

We may be picking up the pieces hereon after

We are fragile and we are human

We are shaped by the light we let through us

But we break fast

Cause we are glass

We are glass

"Fallen" - Sarah McLachlan

 

Heaven, bend to take my hand

And lead me through the fire

Be the long awaited answer

To a long and painful fight

 

Truth be told I've tried my best

But somewhere along the way

I got caught up in all there was to offer

And the cost was so much more than I could bear

 

Though I've tried

I've fallen

I have sunk so low

I messed up

Better I should know

So don't come round here

And tell me I told you so

 

We all begin with good intent

Love was raw and young

We believed that we could change ourselves

The past can be undone

But we carry on our back the burden

Time always reveals

In the lonely light of morning

In the wound that would not heal

Is the bitter taste of losing everything

That I've held so dear

 

Though I've tried

I've fallen

I have sunk so low

I messed up

Better I should know

So don't come round here

And tell me I told you so

 

Heaven, bend to take my hand

Nowhere left to turn

I'm lost to those I thought were friends

To everyone I know

Oh they turn their heads embarrassed

Pretend that they don't see

But it's one missed step

One slip before you know it

And there doesn't seem a way to be redeemed

 

Though I've tried

I've fallen

I have sunk so low

I messed up

Better I should know

So don't come round here

And tell me I told you so

"Zzyzx Rd." - Stone Sour

 

I don't know how else to put this

It's taken me so long to do this

I'm falling asleep and I can't see straight

My muscles feel like a melee

My body's curled in a U-shape

I put on my best but I'm still afraid

 

Propped up by lies and promises

Saving my place as life forgets

Maybe it's time I saw the world

I'm only here for a while

But patience is not my style

And I'm so tired that I've got to go

 

What am I supposed to hide now

What am I supposed to do

Did you really think I wouldn't see this through

Tell me I should stick around for you

Tell me I could have it all

I'm still too tired to care and I've got to go

 

I get to go home in one week

But I'm leaving home in three weeks

They throw me a bone just to pick me dry

I'm following suit and directions

I crawl up inside for protection

I'm told what to do and I don't know why

 

I'm over existing in limbo

I'm over the myths and placebos

I don't really mind if I just fade away

I'm ready to live with my family

I'm ready to die in obscurity

Cause I'm so tired that I've got to go

 

Where am I supposed to hide now

What am I supposed to do

You still don't think I'm going see this through

Tell me I'm a part of history

Tell me I could have it all

I'm still too tired to care and I've got to go

 

I'm still too tired to care and I've got to go

Okay, so not trying to overshadow you or anything, but this is the song I sing to my dog ...

https://youtu.be/uEZJyfPkWCY   

 

 

 

WOW! I have not heard that song or Donny in whats seems like 100 years! LOL Definitely a good choice though!

 

You are so right - the cornier the better!  Since you brought it up and we seem to be sharing our goofy side, I sing Oh my darlin clementine to my Dog and my Cats!  Oh but the horror,  I can hear it now, people whispering and laughing and pointing fingers at us! LOL OK maybe its just at me!  

 

Oh and feel free to overshadow away, you have my total support!

"When the Pain Dies Down" - Chris Stills

 

It's a change

That reaches down and suddenly lifts you

At the end

Of a rainy day when you sat alone and cried

It's a sign

That lets you know there's a life awaiting

The day

You make your peace with the love in you that died

 

When the pain dies down

The dam becomes a river

The fire burns out under the rain

Can you feel it now

It's gone from you forever

Fading out under the rain

 

Like a train

That takes its time pulling out of the station

It's a dream

That comforts you in the middle of the night

It's a song

That'll carry you to a better emotion

And now

Now you know it's going to be alright

 

When the pain dies down

The dam becomes a river

The fire burns out under the rain

Can you feel it now

It's like a simple conversation

Fading out under the rain

 

And the past

Is there behind you

And nothing is forever

And you're dancing on the river again

 

When the pain dies down

The dam becomes a river

The fire burns out under the rain

Can you feel it now

It's gone from you forever

Fading out turning away

 

When the pain dies down

"Not Broken" - Skye

Oh, no, no

Oh, no

Not broken in two

Not you

Like the seed you grow

Under it all

Your roots take hold

Smooth out the creases

Then you'll see

 

And when you fall

Down in between them all

Here you are whole

Not broken

 

On and on

Hold on

Not broken

Just loose at the seams

Oh, no, no

Don't let go

Just listen

Goodness increases

You will see

And when you fall

Down in between them all

Here you are whole

Not broken

 

Leave it behind

All of the pain inside

Here you will be

Not broken

Through the crowd

Patchwork souls

Move closer

Closer

 

And when you fall

Down in between them all

Here you are whole

Not broken

 

Leave it behind

All of the pain inside

Here you will be

Not broken

 

You will see

You will see

"Better" - Kodaline

 

Am I wasting my time

Am I losing my mind

For better or for worse

Cause it doesn’t feel right

No it doesn’t feel right

 

Does it make you feel better

Cause it’s making me worse

Does it make you feel better

Cause it’s making me hurt

Does it make you feel good

When I’m falling apart

Does it make you feel good

 

And is it all in my head

Or was it something I said

Or somewhere in between

Cause I’ve got my regrets

And I’m feeling like death

You don’t see what I see

 

Does it make you feel better

Cause it’s making me worse

Does it make you feel better

Cause it’s making me hurt

Does it make you feel good

When I’m falling apart

Does it make you feel good

 

Cause it's making me worse

"Sometimes She Cries" - Warrant

 

Mercy don't think she's pretty no more

Staring at the stars through her back screen door

She tries and tries to make it all work out

No matter what she does

She's left standing in the middle of doubt

 

In the lonely night

And in the pouring rain

You can count on me

 

Sometimes she cries

She's alone at night

Sometimes she weeps

When she's feeling cold and weak

Sometimes the pain

It just tears her up inside

Sometimes she cries

Oh, I wonder why

 

Mercy don't have a lover no more

She plays with her pillow

Stares at the bedroom floor

Used to have a million

They've come and gone

No matter what she does

She can't figure out what she's doing wrong

 

In the lonely night

And in the pouring rain

You can count on me

 

Sometimes she cries

She's alone at night

Sometimes she weeps

When she's feeling cold and weak

Sometimes the pain

Oh, it tears her up inside,

Sometimes she cries

 

Living, loving

Give it everything you've got

After all the heartache

Maybe give love just one more shot

 

In a lonely night

And in the pouring rain

The only thing I really wanna know is why

 

Sometimes she cries

She's alone at night

Sometimes she weeps

When she's feeling cold and weak

Sometimes the pain

Oh, it tears her up inside

Sometimes she cries

"White Light" - George Michael

 

I'm back, I'm back

Prouder than ever, Baby

Louder than ever maybe

 

One more pill just one more will

One less star in the atmosphere for us

Maybe she just wanted to be free

Heartless pictures on TV

Change that channel

That could have been me, I said

Maybe she just wanted to be free

 

So I just kept breathing, my friends

Waiting for The Man to choose

Saying this ain't the day that it ends

Cause there's no white light

And I'm not through

 

I'm alive, I'm alive

And I've got so much more that I want to do with the music

Was it music that saved me

Or the way that you prayed for me

Guess either way, I thank you

I'm alive

 

Motel, motel makes it clear

One more voice we will never hear again

But maybe he just wanted to be free

And I don't know what the hell, what the Gods

What the f*ck I'm saying half the time

Something divine, oh divine

Brought me back to you

And I know it

 

So I just kept breathing my friends

Waiting for some God to choose

Saying this ain't the day that it ends

Cause there's no white light

And I'm not through

 

I'm alive, I'm alive

And I've got so much more that I want to do

Was it music, was it science that saved me

Or the way that you prayed for me

Guess either way I thank you

I'm alive

 

And tomorrow is mine, I said tomorrow is mine

Said I just got to keep on breathing

I said no, don't let go

Got to keep on, got to keep on, got to keep on

I just got to keep on breathing

 

I'm alive, I'm alive

And I've got so much more that I want to give

Was it music, was it science that saved me

Or the way that you prayed and prayed for me

Well, I thank you

I'm alive

"Hanging By A Thread" - Jann Arden

 

When I cry

I close my eyes

And every tear falls down inside

And I pray with all my might

That I will find my heart in someone's arms

When I cry, cry

 

When I cry

When I am sad

I think of every awful thing I ever did

Oh When I cry, there is no love

No there is nothing that can comfort me enough

When I cry,

Cry, cry

 

The salt inside my body ruins

Everyone I come close to

My hands are barely holding up my head

I am so tired of looking at my feet

All the secrets that I keep

My heart is barely hanging by a thread

Hanging by a thread

 

Oh look at me

At all I've done

I've lost so many things that I so dearly loved

I lost my soul

I lost my pride

Oh I lost any hope of having a sweet life

So I cry,

Cry, cry

 

The salt inside my body ruins

Everyone I come close to

My hands are barely holding up my head

I am so tired of looking at my feet

All the secrets that I keep

My heart is barely hanging by a thread

Hanging by a thread

 

I miss you all

I wish I was with you now

I wish I was

 

:'(

"Keep Breathing" - Ingrid Michaelson

 

The storm is coming

But I don't mind

People are dying

I close my blinds

 

All that I know is I'm breathing

Now

 

I want to change the world

Instead I sleep

I want to believe in more

Than you and me

 

But all that I know is I'm breathing

All I can do is keep breathing

All we can do is keep breathing

Now

 

All that I know is I'm breathing

All I can do is keep breathing

All we can do is keep breathing

All we can do is keep breathing

All we can do is keep breathing

All we can do is keep breathing

All we can do is keep breathing

All we can do is keep breathing

Now

[[Lo...]]

 

Kate Bush - Cloudbusting

 

I still dream of Orgonon.

I wake up crying.

You're making rain,

And you're just in reach,

When you and sleep escape me.

You're like my yo-yo

That glowed in the dark.

What made it special

Made it dangerous,

So I bury it

And forget.

But every time it rains,

You're here in my head,

Like the sun coming out--

Ooh, I just know that something good is going to happen.

And I don't know when,

But just saying it could even make it happen.

On top of the world,

Looking over the edge,

You could see them coming.

You looked too small

In their big, black car,

To be a threat to the men in power.

I hid my yo-yo

In the garden.

I can't hide you

From the government.

Oh, God, Daddy--

I won't forget,

'Cause every time it rains,

You're here in my head,

Like the sun coming out--

Ooh, I just know that something good is going to happen.

And I don't know when,

But just saying it could even make it happen.

The sun's coming out.

Your son's coming out

"I Believe" - Christina Perri

 

I believe if I'd knew where I was going

I'd lose my way

I believe that the words that he told you

Are not your grave

I know that we are not the weight of

All our memories

I believe in the things that I am afraid to say

 

Hold on, hold on

 

I believe in the lost possibilities

You can see

And I believe that the darkness reminds us

Where light can be

I know that your heart is still beating

Beating darling

I believe that you fell so you can land next to me

 

Cause I have been where you are before

And I have felt the pain of losing who you are

And I have died so many times

But I am still alive

 

I believe that tomorrow is stronger

Than yesterday

And I believe that your head is the only thing

In your way

I wish that you could see your scars

Turn into beauty

I believe that today it's okay to be not okay

 

Hold on, hold on

 

Cause I have been where you are before

And I have felt the pain of losing who you are

And I have died so many times

But I am still alive

 

This is not the end of me

This is the beginning

Hold on

This is not the end of me

This is the beginning

Hold on

 

This is not the end of me

This is the beginning

I am still alive

"Everything's Not Lost" - Coldplay

 

When I counted up my demons

Saw there was one for every day

With the good ones on my shoulders

I drove the other ones away

 

So if you ever feel neglected

And if you think all is lost

I'll be counting up my demons

Hoping everything's not lost

 

When you thought that it was over

You could feel it all around

Everybody's out to get you

Don't you let it drag you down

 

Cos if you ever feel neglected

If you think that all is lost

I'll be counting up my demons

Hoping everything's not lost

 

Sing out yeah

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

Everything's not lost

 

Come on yeah

Oh yeah

Sing out yeah

Everything's not lost

"Set Free" - Katie Gray

 

There's a cold fire

There's a crossfire

And there's something

Inside, inside

 

And we'll never, never make it

And we'll never, never break it

Until

Until

 

There's a long game

Its a wrong chain

And it's something

We all hide it

Inside

 

And we'll never, never make it

And we'll never, never break it

Until we learn to see

Until we set free

 

And you've got style

And you've got grace

And you've got the means

To leave that place

 

But you'll never, never make it

And you'll never, never break it

Until you learn to see

Until you set free

 

So set free

Set free

Set free

Set free

 

If we could see that this was all that we need

Inside our minds

Bodies and souls

We wouldn't run and we would let go

Cause we'd realize

That we had

That we had no control

"Fall to Pieces" - Velvet Revolver

It's been a long year

Since you've been gone

I've been alone here

I've grown old

Fall to pieces, I'm falling

Fell to pieces and I'm still falling

 

Every time I'm falling down

All alone I fall to pieces

 

I keep a journal of memories

I'm feeling lonely

I can't breathe

Fall to pieces, I'm falling

Fell to pieces and I'm still falling

 

Every time I'm falling down

All alone I fall to pieces

Every time I'm falling down

All alone I fall to pieces

Every time I'm falling down

All alone I fall to pieces

 

All the years I've tried

With more to go

Will the memories die

I'm waiting

Will I find you

Can I find you

We're falling down

I'm falling

 

Every time I'm falling down

All alone I fall to pieces

Every time I'm falling down

All alone I fall to pieces

Every time I'm falling down

All alone I fall to pieces

Good song. RIP Scott Weiland.
