"Underneath" - Tarja Turunen

Even in my darkest times

Overcome with worry

Find the comfort in the storm

No reason to be sorry

Look inside for a place to hide

 

All around the faithless wait

Full of expectations

They will never see the beauty

In the imperfections

The more I show

The less they know

 

Out of reach

Underneath

Learned to breathe

Underneath

 

Something inside me invisible

Turning the fragile unbreakable

But they cannot take away

Cannot take away what I believe

You cannot take away

Cannot take away

What's underneath

 

Every little cut runs deep

Masking my tomorrow

Bringing wisdom that I need

For all the time I borrow

My other side is left behind

 

Out of reach

Underneath

Learned to breathe

Underneath

 

Something inside me invisible

Turning the fragile unbreakable

But they cannot take away

Cannot take away what I believe

 

You cannot take away

Cannot take away

What's underneath

Underneath

"Don't it Look Like Rain" - Jason Molina

 

The dark outside the world

I think it looks like rain

Don't it look like rain

Don't it look like rain

 

I wait for nothing now to change

I don't think nothing now is gonna change

The wolf outside my door

Don't need anymore of my blood, my blood

She don't wait for nothing, nothing anymore

She's watching for nothing anymore

 

Moon above my light

Starts fading out

Starts fading out

Starts fading out

 

I live for nothing anymore

I live for nothing anymore

I live for nothing 

 

:'(

"Changes" - Randy Crawford

https://youtu.be/2ir-RxVH5VA

 

Whoa, changes

I've been going through some

Everybody does, everybody does

Though they're subtle ones

 

Whether it's the way we look at life

And all of life's possibilities

Or the way we comb our hair

Or interesting faces

 

When day becomes night

When night becomes morning

When wrong becomes right

When right becomes a warning

 

When the good in us becomes better

When the good die young

When we look at all the seasons

To find we challenged none

 

Whether it's the way we look at mountains

Decorating our horizons

Or the way we search our hearts

To free our minds

 

Whoa, changes, changes

Oh, changes

 

Look at the universe

Look at the crying

Look at our children

Look at our babies

Look at the flowers

 

Whoa, everybody does

Everybody does

Go through changes

As I search my heart right now

"Cry" - Michael Jackson

 

Somebody shakes when the wind blows

Somebody's missing a friend

Hold on

Somebody's lacking a hero

And they have not a clue

When it's all gonna end

 

Stories buried and untold

Someone is hiding the truth

Hold on

When will this mystery unfold

And will the sun ever shine

In the blind man's eyes when he cries

 

[CHORUS:]

You can change the world

(I can't do it by myself)

You can touch the sky

(Gonna take somebody's help)

You're the chosen one

(I'm gonna need some kind of sign)

All cry at the same time tonight

 

People laugh when they're feeling sad

Someone is taking a life

Hold on

Respect to believe in your dreams

Tell me where were you

When your children cried last night

 

Faces fill with madness

Miracles unheard of

Hold on

Faith is found in the winds

All we have to do

Is reach for the truth

 

[CHORUS]

 

And when that flag blows

There'll be no more wars

And when all calls

I will answer all your prayers

 

You can change the world

(I can't do it by myself)

You can touch the sky

(It's gonna take somebody's help)

You're the chosen one

(I'm gonna need some kind of sign)

All cry at the same time tonight

 

All cry at the same time tonight

All cry at the same time tonight

All cry at the same time tonight

Change the world

"I Lived" - One Republic

 

Hope when you take that jump

You don't fear the fall

Hope when the water rises

You built a wall

 

Hope when the crowd screams out

It's screaming your name

Hope if everybody runs

You choose to stay

 

Hope that you fall in love

And it hurts so bad

The only way you can know

You give it all you have

 

And I hope that you don't suffer

But take the pain

Hope when the moment comes

You'll say

 

I did it all

I did it all

I owned every second

That this world could give

I saw so many places

The things that I did

Yeah, with every broken bone

I swear I lived

 

Hope that you spend your days

But they all add up

And when that sun goes down

Hope you raise your cup

Oh, oh

I wish that I could witness

All your joy and all your pain

But until my moment comes

I'll say

 

I did it all

I did it all

I owned every second

That this world could give

I saw so many places

The things that I did

Yeah, with every broken bone

I swear I lived

 

With every broken bone

I swear I lived

With every broken bone

I swear I did it all

 

I did it all

I owned every second

That this world could give

I saw so many places

The things that I did

Yeah, with every broken bone

I swear I lived

"Albatross" - Venus & the Moon

 

http://imagecache6.allposters.com/LRG/30/3064/GYADF00Z.jpg

 

I'm not lonely, you're not blue

We're together me and you

You're not angry, I'm not dark

You're an albatross and I'm a hawk

 

We're together you and I

Birds of a feather way up high

We're not broken, only true

We're together me and you

 

Je ne suis pas tout seul, tu n'es pas bleu 

Nous sommes ensemble, toi et moi

Tu n'es pas fache, 

Je ne suis pas sombre

Tu es un albatros et moi un hawk

 

Nous sommes ensemble, toi et moi

Les plumes d'un oiseau, tout en haut

Nous n'est pas cassés seulement vrai

Nous sommes ensemble

Toi et moi

Toi et moi

Toi et moi

 

 

 

We're not broken, only true

We're together me and you

We're not broken, only true

Birds of a feather

Me and you

 

We're not broken, only true

We're together me and you

" Everything Is Lost"

Maggie Eckford

 

https://youtu.be/anst15LerFk

 

 

"Everything Is Lost"

 

My hope is blood on broken glass

A shattered hole, a scattered past

And I can't wake up cause the darkness won't let go

And I can't wake up cause the darkness is taking hold

Everything is lost

And this nightmare's closing in

Everything is lost

There's a sorrow beneath my skin

This is the end... of me

This is the end of me

 

There are angels and demons at war inside my chest

The good and the evil are fighting to possess

And I can't stand up as the ground shakes underneath

And I can't stand up as the earth gives under me

Everything is lost

And this nightmare's closing in

Everything is lost

There's a sorrow beneath my skin

This is the end of me

This is the end of me

 

Everything is lost

And this nightmare's closing in

Everything is lost

There's a sorrow beneath my skin

This is the end of me

This is the end of me

" Million Years Ago"

Adele

 

 

"Million Years Ago"

 

I only wanted to have fun

Learning to fly learning to run

I let my heart decide the way

When I was young

Deep down I must have always known

That this would be inevitable

To earn my stripes I'd have to pay

And bare my soul

 

I know I'm not the only one

Who regrets the things they've done

Sometimes I just feel it's only me

Who can't stand the reflection that they see

I wish I could live a little more

Look up to the sky not just the floor

I feel like my life is flashing by

And all I can do is watch and cry

I miss the air, I miss my friends

I miss my mother, I miss it when

Life was a party to be thrown

But that was a million years ago

 

When I walk around all of the streets

Where I grew up and found my feet

They can't look me in the eye

It's like they're scared of me

I try to think of things to say

Like a joke or a memory

But they don't recognize me now

In the light of day

 

I know I'm not the only one

Who regrets the things they've done

Sometimes I just feel it's only me

Who never became who they thought they'd be

I wish I could live a little more

Look up to the sky not just the floor

I feel like my life is flashing by

And all I can do is watch and cry

I miss the air I miss my friends

I miss my mother I miss it when

Life was a party to be thrown

But that was a million years ago

A million years ago

" Make It Rain"

Ed Sheeran

 

 

"Make It Rain"

 

When the sins of my father

Weigh down in my soul

And the pain of my mother

Will not let me go

Well, I know there can come fire from the sky

To refine the purest of kings

And even though

I know this fire brings me pain

Even so

And just the same

 

Make it rain

Make it rain down, Lord

Make it rain

Oh, make it rain

Make it rain

Make it rain down, Lord

Make it rain

Make it rain

 

All seed needs the water

Before it grows out of the ground

But it just keeps on getting hard

And the hunger more profound

Well, I know there can come tears from the eyes

But they may as well all be in vain

Even though

I know these tears come with pain

Even so

And just the same

 

Make it rain

Make it rain down, Lord

Make it rain

Oh, make it rain

Make it rain

Make it rain down, Lord

Make it rain

Make it rain

 

And the seas are full of water

That stops by the shore

Just like the riches of grandeur

That never reach the poor

 

And let the clouds fill with thunderous applause

And let lightning be the veins

And fill the sky

With all that they can drop

When it's time

To make a change

 

Make it rain

Make it rain down, Lord

Make it rain

Make it rain

Make it rain

Make it rain down, Lord

Make it rain

Oh, Make it rain

Make it rain?

Make it rain?

Make it rain?

Oh, Make it rain

Make it rain

Make it rain down, Lord

Make it vain

Oh, Make it rain

Make it rain

Make in vain

Make in vain

Make in vain

Make it rain

Make in vain

Make it vain

Oh, Make it rain

" Ghosts"

 

Laura Welsh

 

 

" Ghosts"

 

Bones shake

It's lonely, it's late

Footsteps echo

Glimmers of hate

Howling candles

Are blowing us out

What can I tell you?

It's all going down

 

And there's a sadness

Deep down in my soul

Hard times

Just won't let me go

And I need you to help me through

I can't lay these ghosts to rest

And though I'm scared and it's dark

Oh, I know it's all a mess

They're faceless, and headstrong

I got them staring back at me

But my will is still strong

I won't let them take me in

 

I won't let them take me in

 

Angels crying

Lost in shame

Demons laughing

Playing the game

 

And there's a sadness

Deep down in my soul

Hard times

Just won't let me go

And I need you to help me through

I can't lay these ghosts to rest

And though I'm scared and it's dark

Oh, I know it's all a mess

They're faceless, and headstrong

I got them staring back at me

But my will is still strong

I won't let them take me in

 

The days roll on from dusk till dawn

For all time, all time

My faith is grown, the seeds we've sown

I'll be alright, alright

 

And there's a sadness

Deep down in my soul

And I need you to help me through

I can't lay these ghosts to rest

And though I'm scared and it's dark

Oh, I know it's all a mess

They're faceless, and headstrong

I got them staring back at me

But my will is still strong

I won't let them take me in

"Swimming Lesson" - Eels

 

If the world's a rotten place

You better just forget it

In the crowd just another face

Gonna make 'em regret it

 

Take a heart and squash it hard

Like a little grape

Push it down 'tween boot and ground

'Til it loses shape

 

[CHORUS:]

And if you feel like you can't swim

When you're thrown in the lake

Just watch the boats

Passing by you as you

Slip under their wake

Again

 

If you let your feelings shine

You better cover 'em up, kid

Ain't no sense in wasting time

Dream behind your eyelids

 

Take a heart and squash it hard

Like a little bug

Swig it down and spit it out

And kick it under the rug

 

[CHORUS]

 

Take a heart and squash it hard

Like a little ant

Scrape it off the sole of your shoe

On the welcome mat

 

And if you feel like you can't swim

When you're thrown in the lake

Just watch the boats

Passing by you as you

Slip under their wake

Again

"Don't Cry Now" - Linda Ronstadt

If you've ever been taken for money

If you've ever gone down with your pride

If you've ever stood up for a good friend and lost

You know that the river is wide

 

Like a painter who waits for the sunrise

With a picture in both of his hands

It's like part of your life has already begun

With something that you don't understand

 

Don't cry now

Oh don't cry now

Don't cry now

No don't cry now

 

When you're lying alone in the night time

And your loneliness turns into fear

With the words of your memory failing and falling

You're drowning in a river of tears

 

Don't cry now

Oh don't cry now

 

If you've ever thought much about freedom

You might find yourself caught in some door

With somebody you love more than your whole world

And you've been weeping but you don't know what for

 

Don't cry now

Oh don't cry now

Don't cry now

Oh don't cry now

Don't cry now

Oh don't cry now

"All Fly Away" - Jefferson Starship

Moonrise above the Rio Grande

On this fantasy of sand

As I drift into a dream

And I feel the comet scream

 

Three birds watching from a rock

And I swear the third one talked

Rise up through the fog

 

[CHORUS:]

And we can all fly away

All fly away

Let's leave today

We may climb through time tomorrow

Fly away

 

Space city like a jewel on wings

Rocket ships like bees they sting

Planets of fantastic sight

Floating up in pastel light

 

Twisted trees in Martian breeze

Catch that horse don't let him freeze

Someone won't you come

 

[CHORUS]

 

We rode a bubble through the sun

We all knew it could be done

There were men with fiery wings

And a million burning things

 

Silver statues on the run

Bleeding there since Kingdom come

Won't you pick them up

 

And we can all fly away

All fly away

Let's leave today

We may climb through time tomorrow

Fly away

Dragon fly away

 

All fly away

All fly away

All fly away

Dragon fly away

Dragon fly away

Dragon fly away

"The Warrior" - Scandal (feat. Patty Smyth)

 

You run, run, run away

It's your heart that you betray

Feeding on your hungry eyes

I bet you're not so civilized

 

Well, isn't love primitive

A wild gift that you wanna give

Break out of captivity

And follow me stereo jungle child

Love is the kill

Your heart's still wild

 

Shooting at the walls of heartache

Bang, bang, I am the warrior

Well I am the warrior

And heart to heart

You win if you survive

The warrior, the warrior

 

You talk, talk, talk to me

Your eyes touch me physically

Stay with me, we'll take the night

As passion takes another bite

 

Oh, who's the hunter

Who's the game

I feel the beat call your name

I'll hold you close in victory

I don't wanna tame your animal style

You won't be caged

From the call of the wild

 

Shooting at the walls of heartache

Bang, bang, I am the warrior

Well I am the warrior

And heart to heart

You win if you survive

The warrior, the warrior

 

I am the warrior

"Footprints in the Sand" - Leona Lewis

 

http://blog.espol.edu.ec/kcolcha/files/2011/06/1_461.jpg

 

You walked with me

Footprints in the sand

And helped me understand

Where I'm going

 

You walked with me

When I was all alone

With so much unknown

Along the way

 

Then I heard you say

 

I promise you I'm always there

When your heart

Is filled with sorrow and despair

I'll carry you when you need a friend

You'll find my footprints in the sand

 

I see my life

Flash across the sky

So many times

Have I been so afraid

 

And just when I have thought

I've lost my way

You gave me strength

To carry on

 

That's when I've heard you say

 

I promise you I'm always there

When your heart

Is filled with sorrow and despair

I'll carry you when you need a friend

You'll find my footprints in the sand

 

When I'm with you

Well I know you'll be there

 

And I can feel you when you say

 

I promise you I'm always there

When your heart

Is filled with sorrow and despair

I'll carry you when you need a friend

You'll find my footprints in the sand

"Spirit Bird" - Xavier Rudd

 

Give it time and we wonder why

Do what we can

Laugh and we cry

And we sleep in your dust

Because we've seen this all before

 

Culture fades with tears and grace

Leaving us stunned

Hollow with shame

We have seen this all

Seen this all before

 

Many tribes of a modern kind

Doing brand new work

Same spirit by side

Joining hearts and hands

And ancestral twine, ancestral twine

 

Many tribes of a modern kind

Doing brand new work

Same spirit by side

Joining hearts and hands

And ancestral twine, ancestral twine

 

Slowly it fades

Slowly we fade

Slowly you fade

Slowly you fade

 

Spirit bird

She creaks and groans 

She knows she has seen this all before

She has seen this all before

She has

 

Slowly we fade

Slowly it fades

Slowly you fade

Slowly you fade

Slowly you fade

 

Soldier on

Soldier on my good countrymen

Keep fighting for your culture now

Keep fighting for your land

 

I know it's been thousands of years

And I feel your hurt

And I know it's wrong

And you feel you've been chained

And broken and burned

 

And those beautiful old people

Those wise old souls

Have been ground down for far too long

By that spineless man, that greedy man

That heartless man, deceiving man

That government hand

Taking blood and land

Taking blood and land

And still they can

 

But your dreaming

And your warrior spirit lives on

And it is so, so, so strong

In the earth, in the trees, in the rocks

In the water, in your blood

And in the air we breathe

 

Soldier on

Soldier on my good countrymen

Keep fighting for your children now

Keep fighting for your land

 

Slowly we fade

Slowly it fades

Slowly you fade

Slowly you fade

 

Give it time and we wonder why

Do what we can

Laugh and we cry

And we sleep in your dust

Because we've seen this all before

"Don't Let it Show" - The Alan Parsons Project

If it's getting harder to face every day

Don't let it show, don't let it show

Though it's getting harder to take what they say

Just let it go, just let it go

 

And if it hurts when they mention my name

Say you don't know me

And if it helps when they say I'm to blame

Say you don't own me

 

Even if it's taking the easy way out

Keep it inside of you

Don't give in, don't tell them anything

Don't let it, don't let it show

 

Even though you know it's the wrong thing to say

Say you don't care, say you don't care

Even if you want to believe there's a way

I won't be there, I won't be there

 

But if you smile when they mention my name

They'll never know you

And if you laugh when they say I'm to blame

They'll never own you

 

Even if you feel you've got nothing to hide

Keep it inside of you

Don't give in, don't tell them anything

Don't let it, don't let it show

"One More Day" - Sinead O'Connor

 

My love

More dear than this life

You are to me

Your kiss

More clear than the crystal

Of the sea

 

Please save me

I'm fallen here

I'm lost and alone

 

An angel weeps

I hear him cry

A lonely prayer

A voice so high

 

Dry all your tears

Come what may

And in the end

The sun will rise on one more day

 

(Gaelic)

 

Dry all your tears

Come what may

And in the end

The sun will rise on one more day

 

The sun will rise on one more day

"Have You Ever" - Brandi Carlile

 

Have you ever wandered

Lonely through the woods

And everything there feels just as it should

You're part of the life there

You're part of something good

 

If you've ever wandered

Lonely through the woods

If you've ever wandered

Lonely through the woods

 

Have you ever stared into a starry sky

Lying on your back you're asking why

What's the purpose, I wonder who am I

Have you've ever stared into a starry sky

Have you ever stared into a starry sky

 

Have you ever been out walking in the snow

Tried to get back where you were before

You always end up not knowing where to go

If you'd ever been out walking in the snow

If you'd ever been out walking

You would know

Here's a beautiful piece of music called "I Believe in Father Christmas", by Greg Lake of Emerson, Lake and Palmer. He recently passed away, so I just heard this on the radio and thought I'd share it. This version features Ian Anderson, flautist from Jethro Tull and a church choir. Lovely.

Hey Lapsy.   Yes, yet another sad loss.  Here's my tribute, I absolutely LOVE this song, exquisite lyrics ...

 

 

"Closer To Believing"

Emerson, Lake and Palmer

I am closer to believing

Than I ever was before

On the crest of this elation

Must I crash upon the shore

And with the driftwood of acquaintance

Light the fire to love once more

I am wind blown

I am times

 

To be closer to believing

To be just a breath away

On the death of inspiration

I would buy back yesterday

But there's no crueler illusion

There's no sharper coin to pay

As I reach out

It slips away

 

From the opium of custom

To the ledges of extremes

Don't believe it till you've held it

Life is seldom what it seems

But lay your heart upon the table

And in the shuffling of dreams

Remember who on earth you are

 

I need me

You need you

We want us

 

But of course you know I love you

Or what else am I here for

Only you not face to face

But side by side for evermore

And I need to be here with you

For without you what am I

Just another fool out searching

For some heaven in the sky

 

Take me closer to believing

Take me forward lead me on

Through collision and confusion

While there's life beneath the sun

You are the reason I continue

So near for so long

So close yet so far away

 

I need me

You need you

We want us to live forever

 

Don't let the curtain fall

Measure after measure

Of writing on the wall

That burns so brightly

It blinds us all

 

I need me

You need you

We want us to be together

 

On Sundays in the rain

Closer than forever

Against or with the grain

To ride the storms of love again

 

So be closer to believing

Though your world is torn apart

For a moment changes all things

And to end is but to start

And if your journey's unrewarded

May your God lift up your heart

You are windblown

But you are mine
