"Dancing With Tears In My Eyes"

 

Ultravox

https://youtu.be/VJ_OetMwdPs

 

Avantasia

 

Dancing with tears in my eyes

Weeping for the memory of a life gone by

Dancing with tears in my eyes

Living out a memory of a love that died

 

It's five and I'm driving home again

It's hard to believe that it's my last time

The man on the wireless cries again

It's over, it's over

 

Dancing with tears in my eyes

Weeping for the memory of a life gone by

Dancing with tears in my eyes

Living out a memory of a love that died

 

It's late and I'm with my love alone

We drink to forget the coming storm

We love to the sound of our favorite songs

Over and over

 

Dancing with tears in my eyes

Living out a memory of a love that died

It's time and we're in each other's arms

It's time but I don't think we really care

 

Dancing with tears in my eyes

Weeping for the memory of a life gone by

Dancing with tears in my eyes

Weeping for the memory of a life gone by

 

Dancing with tears in my eyes

"Wait" - M83

 

Send your dreams

Where nobody hides

 

Give your tears

To the tide

 

No time

No time

 

There's no end

There is no goodbye

 

Disappear

With the night

 

No time

No time

No time

No time

No time

"Hummingbird"

 

BB King & Dionne Warwick

 

Jimmy Page

 

Sometimes I get impatient

But he cools me without words

And he calls me so sweet and soulfully

I'm his hummingbird and have you heard

 

I thought my life had ended

But I find that it’s just begun

And he gets me where I live

I’ll give all I've got to give

I’m talking about I am his hummingbird

 

Oh, she’s little and she loves me

Too much for words to say

When I see her in the morning sleeping

Oh, she’s little and she loves me too

My lucky day

Hummingbird don’t fly away

 

When I’m feeling wild and lonesome

He knows the words to say

And he gives me a little understanding

In his special way

And I just have to say

 

In my life I love no other

Because he’s more than I deserve

And he gets me where I live

I’ll give all I've got to give

Yes, I’m talking about I'm his hummingbird

 

Oh she’s little and she loves me

Too much for words to say

When I see her in the morning sleeping

She’s little and she loves me too

My lucky day

Hummingbird, don’t fly away

 

Don't fly away, baby

I won't fly away,  no, I won't fly away

Don't fly, don't fly, don't fly away, baby

Oh, I ain't flying away, no, I won't fly away

 

I need you, I need you, I need you, Baby

I won't fly away

No, I won't fly away

May angels lead you in

Hear you me my friends

On sleepless roads, the sleepless go

May angels lead you in

On sleepless roads, the sleepless go

May angels lead you in

 

 

 

This one is for all my buddies! May angels lead you in

 

So nice, thanks, Remy. 

And this one from me to you and to ALL our buddies:

May you all find peace of mind like you never felt before.

 

"Peace of Mind" - Rare Bird

 

Always standing there in the morning sun

Your silent questions turn my eyes

By the light in the distance and from cloudy skies

You're waiting for someone who gives advice

Yeah, you're waiting for the man who tells no lies

 

You will find peace of mind

Like you never felt before

That you thought you left behind

You will find peace of mind

That will open up the door

That was always closed before

 

Peace of mind

Peace of mind

Peace of mind

Peace of mind

 

Always reaching out for the help you need

The way life takes you here this day

Your happiness is all i seek

But my time is running shorter than ahead

And I hope you make it through safe, and yet

 

You will find peace of mind

Like you never felt before

That you thought you left behind

You will find peace of mind

That will open up the door

That was always closed before

 

Peace of mind

Peace of mind

Peace of mind

Peace of mind

 

I tried to show you what was right or wrong

Remember what the old man used to say

You can find a rhyme and you can sing along

And I'll make it back to see you anyway

So I say goodbye and meet another day

 

You will find peace of mind

Like you never felt before

That you thought you left behind

You will find peace of mind

That will open up the door

That was always closed before

 

Peace of mind

Peace of mind

Peace of mind

Peace of mind

"Run To Me" - Paul Brandt

 

 

When you're all alone in the dark

And it's hard not to be afraid

When your candle's losing its spark

It seems that you can’t find your way

Look straight ahead

Don't cry and don't look back

Leave your regrets behind you in the past

 

And run to me

I will always be

The hand you can hold

When you're lonely and cold

I will warm you

I adore you 

 

You're always in my heart

No matter where you are

When it's love you need

Baby, you can run to me

 

Nothing you ever say

And nothing you could ever do

Is gonna change the way

That I'll always be loving you

I'll be your sky

I'll be a soft place to fall

Baby, this love is unconditional

 

You can run to me

I will always be

The hand you can hold

When you're lonely and cold

I will warm you

I adore you

 

You're always in my heart

No matter where you are

When it's love you need

Baby, you can run to me

 

And when it's midnight

On a winding road

And you don't know where you are

Or where to go

Through the rain

Call my name

I will run to you

 

Baby, run to me

I will always be

The hand you can hold

When you're lonely and cold

I will warm you

I adore you

 

You're always in my heart

No matter where you are

When it's love you need

Come to me

Baby, you can run to me

Thanks for the Ultravox tune, abcd 

 

This is how Midge Ure performs it these days. Very different, very interesting:

 

 

 

[[Lo...]]

Also, like this one by him:

 

[[Lo...]]

Such a sad song, but may as well:

 

INXS - Never Tear Us Apart

 

 

Don't ask me

What you know is true

Don't have to tell you

I love your precious heart

I

I was standing

You were there

Two worlds collided

And they could never tear us apart

We could live

For a thousand years

But if I hurt you

I'd make wine from your tears

I told you

That we could fly

'Cause we all have wings

But some of us don't know why

I was standing

You were there

Two worlds collided

And they could never ever tear us apart

I

I was standing

You were there

Two worlds collided

And they could never tear us apart

You were standing

I was there

Two worlds collided

And they could never tear us apart

I

I was standing

You were there

Two worlds collided

Wow, lol, so different!

 

 

Also, like this one by him:

 

 

Now that's a really great song, never heard that one before, thanks LF.  I like this version:  https://youtu.be/ix1W065XA0k 

 

 

Such a sad song, but may as well:

 

INXS - Never Tear Us Apart

 

 

 

But hey, I never thought of that as a sad song at all?  Two worlds collided and they could never tear us apart.  Sounds romantic to me, in a good way.  What am I missing?

[[Lo...]]

You're not missing anything at all, abcd 

It's the beauty of the song. It can evoke many different emotions.

 

I think what makes it sad is the whole Michael Hutchence, Paula Yates, Bob Geldoff, Peaches Geldoff connection.........

 

[[...]]

Awwww, hugs, LF!  Yea, I get it.    I was being too literal, wasn't I?

Okay, off to try and catch some winks and let's see what fresh Hell I wake up to in the morning. 

Nighty night, thanks for the company, LF, try and get some sleep too, okay?

[[Lo...]]

All is good. No worries. We're all learning how to feel emotions again......  I thought I got a grip on my panic attacks during my mid 20's. Apparently, not....

"Oblivion" - Bastille

 

When you fall asleep

With your head upon my shoulder

When you're in my arms

But you've gone somewhere deeper

 

Are you going to age with grace

Are you going to age without mistakes

Are you going to age with grace

Or only to wake and hide your face

 

When oblivion is calling out your name

You always take it further than I ever can

 

When you play it hard

And I try to follow you there

It's not about control

But I turn back when I see where you go

 

Are you going to age with grace

Are you going to leave a path to trace

 

But oblivion is calling out your name

You always take it further than I ever can

 

When oblivion is calling out your name

You always take it further than I ever can

[[...]]

"Morning Bird" - Sade

 

How could you

You are the river

Pour out of this life

 

How could you

You are the morning bird

Who sang me into life every day

Fly away

 

You are

The blood of me

The harvest of my dreams

 

There's nowhere

I can find peace

And the silence won't cease

 

Nothing's quite how it seems

The ghost of my joy

Won't let me be

 

If you set me free

I will not run

I will not run

I will not run

"Out Of The Darkness" - Chris Rea

 

There's an empty street in an empty town

There's an old boutique selling ageing gowns

Some words on the walls that were written

By the light of the moon so bright

 

Can you hear me

Can you hear me tonight

Take me out of this darkness

And into the morning light

 

The rain that falls doesn't make me cry

And the wind that blows cannot hurt my eyes

But the things that I see when I turn on TV

Make me wanna lay down and die

 

Can you hear me

Can you hear me tonight

Take me out of this darkness

And into the morning light

 

Can you hear me

Take me out of this darkness

And into the morning light

[[...]]

"Follow The Sun" - Xavier Rudd

 

Follow

Follow the sun

And which way the wind blows

When this day is done

 

Breathe

Breathe in the air

Set your intentions

Dream with care

 

Tomorrow's

A new day for everyone

A brand new moon

A brand new sun

 

So follow

Follow the sun

The direction of the birds

The direction of love

 

Breathe

Breathe in the air

Cherish this moment

Cherish this breath

 

Tomorrow's

A new day for everyone

A brand new moon

A brand new sun

 

When you feel life coming down on you

Like a heavy weight

When you feel this crazy society

Adding to the strain

Take a stroll to the nearest water's edge

Remember your place

Many moons have risen and fallen

Long, long before you came

 

So which way

Is the wind blowing

And what does your heart say

 

So follow

Follow the sun

And which way the wind blows

When this day is done

"Surrendering" - Alanis Morissette

 

You were full and fully capable

You were self sufficient and needless

Your house was fully decorated in that sense

 

You were taken with me to a point

A case of careful what you wish for

But what you knew was enough to begin

 

And so you called and courted fiercely

So you reached out entirely fearless

And yet you knew of reservation and how it serves

 

And I salute you for your courage

And I applaud your perseverance

And I embrace you for your faith

In the face of adversarial forces

That I represent

 

So you were in but not entirely

You were up for this but not totally

You knew how arms length-ing can maintain doubt

 

And so you fell and you're intact

So you dove in and you're still breathing

And so you jumped and you're still flying if not shocked

 

And I support you in your trusting

And I commend you for your wisdom

And I'm amazed by your surrender

In the face of threatening forces

That I represent

 

You found creative ways to distance

You hid away from much through humor

Your choice of armor was your intellect

 

And so you felt and you're still here

And so you died and you're still standing

And so you softened and still safely in command

 

And I salute you for your courage

And I applaud your perseverance

And I embrace you for your faith

In the face of adversarial forces

That I represent

 

Self protection was in times of true danger

Your best defense to mistrust and be wary

Surrendering a feat of unequaled measure

And I'm thrilled to let you in

Overjoyed to be let in in kind

 

And I salute you for your courage

And I applaud your perseverance

And I embrace you for your faith

In the face of adversarial forces

That I represent

"Insomniac's Lullaby" - Paul Simon

 

Oh Lord, don't keep me up all night

Side by side with the moon

With its desolate eyes

Miles from the sunrise

The darkness inviting a tune

 

The Insomniac's Lullaby

 

A siren is playing its song in the distance

The melody rattles the old window frame

Gradually angels reveal their existence

And there's nothing and no-one to blame

 

Oh Lord, don't keep me up all night

Side by side with the moon

Alone in the bed

The season ahead

Is winter that lasts until June

 

The Insomniac's Lullaby

 

Sleep

 

They say all roads lead to a river

Then one day the river comes up to your door

How will the builder of bridges deliver us all

To the faraway shore

 

Oh Lord, don't keep me up all night

With questions I can't understand

While I wrestle my fears

The sound in my ears

Is the music that's sweeping the land

 

The Insomniac's Lullaby

 

Sleep

 

Soft as a rose the light from the east

As if all is forgiven and wolves become sheep

We are who we are or we're not

But at least we'll eventually all fall asleep

 

Eventually all fall asleep

"Confusion" - Electric Light Orchestra

 

Everywhere the sun is shining

All around the world it's shining

But cold winds blow across your mind

 

Confusion

It's such a terrible shame

Confusion

You don't know what you're saying

You've lost your love

And you just can't carry on

You feel there's no-one there

For you to lean on

To lean on

 

Every night you're out there darling

You're always out there running

And I see that lost look in your eyes

 

Confusion

I don't know what I should do

Confusion

I leave it all up to you

You've lost your love

And you just can't carry on

You feel there's no-one there

For you to lean on

To lean on

 

Dark is the road you wander

And as you stand there under

The starry sky you feel sad inside

 

Confusion

You know it's driving me wild

Confusion

It comes as no big surprise

You've lost your love

And you just can't carry on

You feel there's no-one there

For you to lean on

To lean on

 

Confusion, confusion, confusion

Confusion, confusion

Confusion

"Circles" - Manfred Mann's Earth Band

 

Going round in circles

Directions all messed up

I go to ground on a bottle of wine

And drown myself in the flood

 

My frozen toes are beginning to melt

I believe I'm catching a cold

Got oil on my feathers and I can't fly

I gotta get back to your love

 

I'm a clown without a circus

There's no-one to see my act

I can laugh and sing and stand on my head

Nobody knows where I'm at

 

It's hard to be convincing

When these blues don't give an inch

I ain't exactly losing

But I'm beginning to feel the pinch

 

My days are long and lonely

And I feel so insecure

There ain't nothing funny

I'm losing you honey

I can't laugh anymore

I can't laugh anymore

 

Going round in circles

Directions all messed up

I go to ground on a bottle of wine

And drown myself in the flood

 

My frozen toes are beginning to melt

I believe I'm catching a cold

Got oil on my feathers and I can't fly

I gotta get back to your love

 

Old Chang surely told me

Not to mess with what you've got

But I went stomping all over your head

Like a bull in a China shop

 

My days are long and lonely

And I feel so insecure

There ain't nothing funny

I'm losing you honey

I can't laugh anymore

I can't laugh anymore

 

I'm a clown without a circus

There's no-one to see my act

I can laugh and sing and stand on my head

Nobody knows where I'm at

 

Going round in circles

Directions all messed up

I go to ground on a bottle of wine

Drowning myself in the flood

"The Crow, The Owl And The Dove" - Nightwish

 

[CHORUS:]

Don't give me love, don't give me faith

Wisdom nor pride, give innocence instead

Don't give me love, I've had my share

Beauty nor rest, give me truth instead

 

A crow flew to me, kept its distance

Such a proud creation

I saw its soul, envied its pride

But needed nothing it had

 

An owl came to me, old and wise

Pierced right through my youth

I learned it's ways, envied it's sense

But needed nothing it had

 

[CHORUS]

 

A dove came to me, had no fear

It rested on my arm

I touched its calm, envied its love

But needed nothing it had

 

A swan of white, she came to me

The lake mirrored her beauty sweet

I kissed her neck, adored her grace

But needed nothing she could give

 

Gar tuht river, Ger te rheged

Gar tuht river, Ger te rheged

Gar tuht river, Ger te rheged

 

Don't give me love, don't give me faith

Wisdom nor pride, give innocence instead

Don't give me love, I've had my share

Beauty nor rest, give me truth instead

"Pick Yourself Up"

 

Natalie Cole

https://youtu.be/3A4zNgnejfI

Nat "King" Cole

 

Diana Krall

https://youtu.be/31CDS6Dd49M

 

Pick yourself up, take a deep breath

Dust yourself off and start all over again

 

Nothing's impossible I have found

For when my chin is on the ground

I pick myself up, dust myself off

And start all over again

 

Don't lose your confidence if you slip

Be grateful for a pleasant trip

Just pick yourself up and dust yourself off

Start all over again

 

Work like a soul inspired

Till the battle of the day is won

You may be sick and tired

But you'll be a man, my son

 

Will you remember the famous men

Who had to fall to rise again

So take a deep breath, pick yourself up

Dust yourself off and start all over again

 

Don't lose your confidence if you slip

Be grateful for a pleasant trip

Just pick yourself up dust yourself off

And try to start all over again

 

You gotta work like a soul inspired

Till the battle of the day is won

You may be sick and tired

But you're gonna be a man, my son

 

Will you remember the famous men

Who had to fall to rise again

So take a deep breath

Pick yourself up

Dust yourself off

Have a nice trip

And start all over again!

Smashing Pumpkins - Disarm

 

 

"Disarm"

 

Disarm you with a smile

And cut you like you want me to

Cut that little child

Inside of me and such a part of you

Ooh, the years burn

 

I used to be a little boy

So old in my shoes

And what i choose is my choice

What's a boy supposed to do?

The killer in me is the killer in you

My love

I send this smile over to you

 

Disarm you with a smile

And leave you like they left me here

To wither in denial

The bitterness of one who's left alone

Ooh, the years burn

Ooh, the years burn, burn, burn

 

I used to be a little boy

So old in my shoes

And what I choose is my voice

What's a boy supposed to do?

The killer in me is the killer in you

My love

I send this smile over to you

 

The killer in me is the killer in you

Send this smile over to you

The killer in me is the killer in you

Send this smile over to you

The killer in me is the killer in you

Send this smile over to you

Now the moon is peering through

My thoughts are pure and clear

I see the ones I've taken for granted

Ones I love so dear

 

Oh, My Friend

I can depend

Thick or thin we are like kin

Oh, My Friend

You never gave a second thought

For loving me

 

How precious are the gems of kindliness

So far and few

And giving is a special gift

Returning back to you

 

Oh, My Friend

I can depend

Thick or thin we are like kin

Oh, My Friend

You always gave enough

Unselfishly you cared

 

You're my friend, My Dear Friend

Even when we're apart

You stay in my heart

In my mind

In my soul

 

Friends can depend on each other

Time and again

Oh my Friend

You always gave enough

Unselfishly you cared

 

Oh, My Friend

I can depend

Thick or thin

We are like kin

 

Oh, My Friend

You always have and always will be

My best Friend

My Friend

My Friend

"The Way It Is"

 

 

Standing in line, marking time

Waiting for the welfare dime

'Cause they can't buy a job

The man in the silk suit hurries by

As he catches the poor old lady's eyes

Just for fun he says, "Get a job."

 

That's just the way it is

Some things will never change

That's just the way it is

Ah, but don't you believe them

 

Said hey, little boy, you can't go where the others go

'Cause you don't look like they do

Said hey, old man, how can you stand to think that way?

And did you really think about it before you made the rules?

He said, son

 

That's just the way it is

Some things will never change

That's just the way it is

Ah, but don't you believe them, yeah

 

That's just the way it is

That's just the way it is

 

Well, they passed a law in '64

To give those who ain't got a little more

But it only goes so far

'Cause the law don't change another's mind

When all it sees at the hiring time

Is the line on the color bar, no

 

That's just the way it is

Some things will never change

That's just the way it is

That's just the way it is, it is, it is, it is
