Posted: 3/24/2007 1:38:23 PM | That song is beauftiful,
Eric wrote that song for his own son, when his son passed on after falling out of a window of a highrise building, if I recall correctly.
Here is a pretty Bruce Springsteen song:
Secret Garden:
She'll let you in her house
If you come knockin' late at night
She'll let you in her mouth
If the words you say are right
If you pay the price
She'll let you deep inside
But there's a secret garden she hides
She'll let you in her car
To go drivin' 'round
She'll let you into the parts of herself
That'll bring you down
She'll let you in her heart
If you got a hammer and a vise
But into her secret garden, don't think twice
You've gone a million miles
How far'd you get
To that place where you can't remember
And you can't forget
She'll lead you down a path
There'll be tenderness in the air
She'll let you come just far enough
So you know she's really there
And she'll look at you and smile
And her eyes will say
She's got a secret garden
Where everything you want
Where everything you need
Will always stay
A million miles away | |

Posted: 3/24/2007 3:23:03 PM | There are so many songs that move me I could never list them all. I think like Brian who posted this thread there is one for every major event in my life. But the following lyric by Collin Raye touches me especially as someone I once loved and lost way too young taught me so very much about me.
In This Life
For all I've been blessed with in this life
There was an emptiness in me
I was imprisoned by the power of gold
With one honest touch, you set me free
Let the world stop turning
Let the sun stop burning
Let them tell me love's not worth going through
If it all falls apart, I will know deep in my heart
The only dream that mattered had come true
In this life, I was loved by you
For every mountain I have climbed
Every raging river crossed
You were the treasure that I longed to find
Without your love I would be lost
Let the world stop turning
Let the sun stop burning
Let them tell me love's not worth going through
If it all falls apart, I will know deep in my heart
The only dream that mattered had come true
In this life i was loved by you
In this life, I was loved by you
The other would be Blackbird by the Beatles. It was playing on the sound system in the delivery room when my daughter was born.
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free
Blackbird fly, blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night
Blackbird fly, blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise | |

Posted: 3/24/2007 5:03:57 PM | Holly Cole: Make it go Away
Make it go away or make it better
Isnt that what love is supposed to do?
Make it go away or make it better
Cause I would do either one for you
This is not the way you should see me
This is not the face I recognize
Could I lay my head down here for a moment?
Would you sing to me like Im your child?
Cause Im not angry Im not crying
Im just in over my head
You could be the angel that stayed on my shoulder
When all of the other angels left
Make it go away
Cause I am weak and
This is more than one should have to take
If you do this for me then I will promise
Ill make it go away for you someday
There are reasons with silver linings
There are lessons but I dont care
Cause I just need a hand that I can hold onto
When its darker than death out there
Oh, and Im so cold
And so far away from my home
But tonight youre
Youre where I belong
Youre everything right
When Im everything wrong
So make it go away or make it better
Isnt that what loves supposed to do?
Just make it go away or make it better
Cause I would do either one for you
Make it go away or make it better
Isnt that what loves supposed to do?
Just make it go away or make it better
Cause I would do either one for you | |

Posted: 3/24/2007 7:12:20 PM | Have never posted before, so unsure of how this works :)
But... imagine being the inspiration for this ("you are more beautiful when you awake, than most are in a lifetime") .. Gives me shivers!
Verve Pipe - Colourful
The show is over close the story book
There will be no encore
And all the random hands that I have shook
Well they're reaching for the door
I watch their backs as they leave single file
But you stood stubborn, cheering all the while
I know I can be colourful
I know I can be gray
But I know this loser's living fortunate
Cause I know you will love me either way
Most were being good for goodness sake
But you wouldn't pantomime
You are more beautiful when you awake
Than most are in a lifetime
Through the haze that is my memory well
You stayed for drama though you paid for a comedy
I know I can be colourful
I know I can be gray
And I know this loser's living fortunate
And I know you will love me either way
Look ahead as far as you can see
We'll live in drama but we'll die in a comedy
I know I can be colourful (When you live in black and white)
I know I can be gray (My colours fade away)
But I know this loser's living fortunate
And I know you will love me either way | |

Posted: 3/24/2007 8:14:21 PM | One of the songs that actually brings a tear to my eye is this one. Such a sad story:
"Cowboy Romance" By Natalie Merchant
It's a Saturday afternoon romance
Between a cowboy and a fool...
A drunken meet up
In a crude saloon
A poor rocky mountain town
He's a scoundrel and
She's no pearl
Together they are two lovers cruel
Got her balanced on his knee
He knows exactly what to say
"you ain't been born
'til you get out of town
And honey, you might come with me
If you do . . .
I'll spare the innocent ones
And take you with me
Together we will be drifters free"
Got her tangled in his arms
She's a lusting, trusting fool
"there's no man born that can rule me
And that I've sworn
But stranger if you do
I'll belong to you
If you do . . . would you spare the innocent ones
And take me with you?
Can't you love the land
And love me too?"
As he grows sober
Sees his love anew
In the morning light so true
He gets on the move...
On the move | |

Posted: 3/24/2007 9:56:22 PM | Hi, Ive never written in to a forum, so heres hoping ! Music is such a big part of my life...different sounds for different moods, and so many songs bring back so many memories, sometimes good one, sometimes not so good...and some that remind me that all those memories are part of me and my life, and I love it !! Heres a few...
All in Good Time ~ Ron Sexsmith
It only hurts when I breathe ~ Shania Twain
Forever Young ~ Rod Stewart
Im on my way ~ Proclaimers

I'm Moving On ~ Rascall Flatts
I'm Moving On lyrics
I've dealt with my ghosts and I've faced all my demons
Finally content with a past I regret
I've found you find strength in your moments of weakness
For once I'm at peace with myself
I've been burdened with blame, trapped in the past for too long
I'm movin' on
I've lived in this place and I know all the faces
Each one is different but they're always the same
They mean me no harm but it's time that I face it
They'll never allow me to change
But I never dreamed home would end up where I don't belong
I'm movin' on
I'm movin' on
At last I can see life has been patiently waiting for me
And I know there's no guarantees, but I'm not alone
There comes a time in everyone's life
When all you can see are the years passing by
And I have made up my mind that those days are gone
I sold what I could and packed what I couldn't
Stopped to fill up on my way out of town
I've loved like I should but lived like I shouldn't
I had to lose everything to find out
Maybe forgiveness will find me somewhere down this road
I'm movin' on
I'm movin' on
I'm movin' on
Thanx  | |

when you're up on the stage
its so unbelievable,
unforgettable,
and they adore you
Then your wife thinks
you're losing your sanity
oh calamity.....

| Lyrics that move you
Posted: 3/25/2007 12:51:47 AM | Here's a few...
I Hope You Dance - Lee Anne Womack
No Fear - Terri Clark
Concrete Angel - Martina Mcbride
Travelin' Soldier - Dixie Chicks
IMHO these are all powerful words with a powerful message. For a performing
musician I think these can be quite a "gut check" and perhaps a bit of a challege to
get all the way through with 100 percent composure...
I Hope You Dance Lee Anne Womack
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder,
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger,
May you never take one single breath for granted,
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed,
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.
I hope you dance....I hope you dance.
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance,
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Livin' might mean takin' chances but they're worth takin',
Lovin' might be a mistake but it's worth makin',
Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter,
When you come close to sellin' out reconsider,
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.
I hope you dance....I hope you dance.
I hope you dance....I hope you dance.
((Background vocals:)
Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along,
Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder
where those years have gone.)
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.
Dance....I hope you dance.
I hope you dance....I hope you dance.
I hope you dance....I hope you dance..
((Background vocals:)
Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along
Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder
where those years have gone)
No Fear Terri Clark
I want a road stretching out before me
I want a radio in my ear
I want a full tank of absolution
No Fear
I want a rainstorm to pull me over
Then a sky that begins to clear
Towards the truest of destinations
No Fear
(Chorus:)
I used to hit every wall there was
I used to run away from love
All I ever wanted was right here
But I had to reach way down inside
I had to have faith I'd find
No Fear
I want the world to just keep on turning
I want the dawn in my rear view mirror
I want to hear my own voice singing
No Fear
And when I need two arms around me
And there's no one near
When I'm alone let the only sound be
No Fear
I used to hit every wall there was
I used to run away from love
All I ever wanted was right here
But I had to reach way down inside
I had to have faith I'd find
No Fear
I want peace, love, and understanding
A stogie and an ice cold beer
Don't want to live afraid of dying
I used to hit every wall there was
I used to run away from love
All I ever wanted was right here
But I had to reach way down inside
I used to stay up all night long
Wondering what I was doing wrong
All I every needed was right here
But I had to reach way down inside
I had to have faith I'd find
No Fear
Concrete Angel Martina McBride
She walks to school with the lunch she packed
Nobody knows what she's holdin' back
Wearin' the same dress she wore yesterday
She hides the bruises with linen and lace
The teacher wonders but she doesn't ask
It's hard to see the pain behind the mask
Bearing the burden of a secret storm
Sometimes she wishes she was never born
Chorus:
Through the wind and the rain
She stands hard as a stone
In a world that she can't rise above
But her dreams give her wings
And she flies to a place where she's loved
Concrete angel
Somebody cries in the middle of the night
The neighbors hear, but they turn out the lights
A fragile soul caught in the hands of fate
When morning comes it'll be too late
[Repeat Chorus]
A statue stands in a shaded place
An angel girl with an upturned face
A name is written on a polished rock
A broken heart that the world forgot
[Repeat Chorus]
Song: Travelin' Soldier Artist: Dixie Chicks
Two days past eighteen
He was waitin' for the bus in his army greens
Sat down in a booth at a café there
Gave his order to the girl with a bow in her hair
He's a little shy so she gave him a smile
So he said would you mind sittin' down for a while
And talkin' to me I'm feelin' a little low
She said I'm off in an hour and I know where we can go
So they went down and they sat on the pier
He said I bet you got a boyfriend but I don't care
I've got no one to send a letter to
Would you mind if I sent one back here to you?
CHORUS:
I cried
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
Too young for him they told her
Waitin' for the love of the travelin' soldier
Our love will never end
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
Never more to be alone
When the letter says a soldier's coming home
So the letters came
From an army camp
In California then Vietnam
And he told her of his heart
It might be love
And all of the things he was so scared of
Said when it's gettin kinda rough over here
I think about that day sittin' down on the pier
And I close my eyes and see your pretty smile
Don't worry but I won't be able to write for a while
CHORUS
One Friday night at a football game
The Lord's Prayer said and the anthem sang
A man said folks would you bow your heads
For the list of local Vietnam dead
Cryin' all alone under the stands
Was the piccolo player in the marching band
And one name read and no one really cared
But a pretty little girl with a bow in her hair
CHORUS | |

Posted: 3/25/2007 12:55:50 AM | Hey there Brianm1968ca, just curious but something about your pic caught my eye... Is the pic orientation correct and not "flipped over"? In other words, are you a left handed guitar player? If so, small world I also play in the manner known as left handed (right hand on fingerboard, pic/strum with left hand), although I don't think of myself as particularly left-handed.  | |

Posted: 3/25/2007 10:27:11 AM | Couple of other Springsteen songs
If I Should Fall Behind
We said we'd walk together baby come what may
That come the twilight should we lose our way
If as we're walkin a hand should slip free
I'll wait for you
And should I fall behind
Wait for me
We swore we'd travel darlin' side by side
We'd help each other stay in stride
But each lover's steps fall so differently
But I'll wait for you
And if I should fall behind
Wait for me
Now everyone dreams of a love lasting and true
But you and I know what this world can do
So let's make our steps clear that the other may see
And I'll wait for you
If I should fall behind
Wait for me
Now there's a beautiful river in the valley ahead
There 'neath the oak's bough soon we will be wed
Should we lose each other in the shadow of the evening trees
I'll wait for you
And should I fall behind
Wait for me
Darlin' I'll wait for you
Should I fall behind
Wait for me
Waiting on a Sunny day
It's rainin' but there ain't a cloud in the sky
Must of been a tear from your eye
Everything'll be okay
Funny, though I felt a sweet summer breeze
Must of been your sighin' so deep
Don't worry we're gonna find a way
I'm waitin', waitin' on a sunny day
Gonna chase the clouds away
Waitin' on a sunny day
Without you, I'm workin' with the rain fallin' down
I'm half a party in a one dog town
I need to chase these blues away
Without you, I'm a drummer girl that can't keep a beat
An ice cream truck on a deserted street
I hope that you're coming to stay
I'm waitin', waitin' on a sunny day
Gonna chase the clouds away
Waitin' on a sunny day
Hard time, baby well they come to us all
Sure as the tickin' of the clock on the wall
Sure as the turnin' of the night into day
Your smile girl, brings the mornin' light to my eyes
Lifts away the blues when I rise
I hope that you're coming to stay
I'm waitin', waitin' on a sunny day
Gonna chase the clouds away
Waitin' on a sunny day | |

Posted: 3/25/2007 5:52:47 PM | So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here. | |

There are soo many...some great songs here that folks have posted....that I like and would have posted also....
Here is one that I hope to play for someone...someday...when ever it may happen...
"When You Kiss Me" - Shania Twain
This could be it, I think I'm in love
It's love this time
It just seems to fit, I think I'm in love
This love is mine
I can see you with me when I'm older
All my lonely night are finally over
You took the weight of the world off my
shoulders (the world just goes away)
[Chorus:]
Oh, when you kiss me
I know you miss me--
and when you're with me
The world just goes away
The way you hold me
The way you show me that you
adore me--oh, when you kiss me
Oh, yeah
You are the one, I think I'm in love
Life has begun
I can see the two of us together
I know I'm gonna be with you forever
Love couldn't be any better
[Repeat Chorus]
[Instrumental Solo]
I can see you with me when I'm older
All my lonely nights are finally over
You took the weight of the world off my
shoulders (the world just goes away)
[Repeat Chorus]
And when you kiss me
I know you miss me
Oh, the world just goes away
When you kiss me | |

Some say the end is near.
Some say we'll see armageddon soon.
I certainly hope we will.
I sure could use a vacation from this
Bullshit three ring circus sideshow of
Freaks
Here in this hopeless ****ing hole we call LA
The only way to fix it is to flush it all away.
Any ****ing time. Any ****ing day.
Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona bay.
Fret for your figure and
Fret for your latte and
Fret for your lawsuit and
Fret for your hairpiece and
Fret for your prozac and
Fret for your pilot and
Fret for your contract and
Fret for your car.
It's a
Bullshit three ring circus sideshow of
Freaks
Here in this hopeless ****ing hole we call LA
The only way to fix it is to flush it all away.
Any ****ing time. Any ****ing day.
Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona bay.
Some say a comet will fall from the sky.
Followed by meteor showers and tidal waves.
Followed by faultlines that cannot sit still.
Followed by millions of dumbfounded dipshits.
Some say the end is near.
Some say we'll see armageddon soon.
I certainly hope we will cuz
I sure could use a vacation from this
Stupid shit, silly shit, stupid shit...
One great big festering neon distraction,
I've a suggestion to keep you all occupied.
Learn to swim.
Learn to swim.
Learn to swim.
Mom is going to fix it all soon,
Mom is coming round to put it back
the way it oughtta be...
Learn to swim.
**** L Ron Hubbard and
**** all his clones.
**** all these gun-toting
Hip gangster wannabes.
Learn to swim.
**** retro anything.
**** your tattoos.
**** all you junkies and
**** your short memory.
Learn to swim.
**** smiley glad-hands
With hidden agendas.
**** these dysfunctional,
Insecure actresses.
Learn to swim.
Cuz I'm praying for rain
And I'm praying for tidal waves
I wanna see the ground give way.
I wanna watch it all go down.
Mom please flush it all away.
I wanna see it go right in and down.
I wanna watch it go right in.
Watch you flush it all away.
Time to bring it down again.
Don't just call me pessimist.
Try and read between the lines.
I can't imagine why you wouldn't
Welcome any change, my friend.
I wanna see it all come down.
suck it down.
flush it down. | |

Posted: 4/18/2007 10:43:49 AM | George Burns - I Wish I Was 18 Again Lyrics
at a bar down in dallas an old man chimed in,
and i thought he was out of his his head.
just being a young man i just laughed it off
when i heard what that old man had said.
he said i'll never again turn the young ladies heads,
or go running off into the wind.
i'm three quarters home from the start to the end.
and i wish i was 18 again.
i wish i was 18 again.
and going where i've never been.
but old folks and old oaks
standing tall just pretend.
i wish i was 18 again.
now time turns the pages
and oh, life goes so fast.
the years turn the black hair all grey.
i talked to some young folks,
hey they don't understand
the words this old man's got to say.
i wish i was 18 again.
and going where i've never been.
but old folks and old oaks
standing tall just pretend.
i wish i was 18 again.
lord, i wish i was 18 again! | |

Posted: 4/18/2007 11:23:54 AM | My good friend Layah Jane and her award-winning song Reverence and Ridicule
chorus:
says she
“you all must be
the change you wish to see”
if I talk my speak but my walk is weak
show me just how to be
the change I wish to see
I endeavour to shed light on blindness
speak my mind with patience and kindness
you know what I’m doing, I’m scoping for hope
there’s no better time to share how we cope
if it’s not our own Mama Earth’s timeline
we all have our own steady rate of decline
to use as a context for our worry
tell me, with one more day would you slow down or hurry?
chorus
give me a green, green valley and a clean, clean lake
a solar-powered homestead so I don’t take
more than my share, of what is there
I’ll make a ginger tea to soothe me
dance to music that moves me
it’s amazing just what can be found
when you stand bare-feet firmly planted on the ground
it’s crazy just what you feel
when you stop long enough to uncover what’s real
blessings and beauty abound
in this life on this planet so fertile and round
chorus
it’s a battle uphill on a slippery slope
when there’s no woman in this business who has not been groped
by the hand of the industry’s standard of disguise
we are curling our lashes, instead of seeing through lies
how cute do we look in our brand-name clothes?
is that what sells our records over how our music flows?
what do we activate, multiple, replicate?
are you taking care with your share?
are you waxing clever, or highlighting your hair?
chorus
you can keep your radio song
take the next one too when it comes along
crafting your chorus for top dollar
the burden of your choices pressing your collar
I wonder sometimes if I have it in me
the resilience it takes to not let it win me
is my skin too thin?
or has it grown thicker since I chose to begin
this journey of projection of sound
we make in a room when there is no one else around
if I cannot get where I want to go
without stepping on my sisters who also want to grow
then this is not for me
I’ll take my thin-skinned integrity
over pushing and shoving to win the
audience we so greedily seek
if all of us were listening, what would you speak?
chorus
if all those with mass distribution
were using their power for peaceful revolution
I would rest easy in my bed
I would drain all the worry from my weary head
but, no, in my own tiny corner of this place
I am working to define my own little space
if I cause someone to feel a little deeper
walk on the path that’s just a little bit steeper
perhaps I have done what I can
maybe my mission went as planned…
what do you have at the end of your day?
are you loving as wide as you can in your way?
what would you scrawl down, what would you say
if I
hit
play? | |

Posted: 4/18/2007 4:51:56 PM | There's a few songs that get me at different times .. depending on how long it's been since I've heard them:
Elvis Presley - In the Ghetto
As a crowd gathers round an angry young man
face down in the street with a gun in hand in the ghetto
And as her young man dies
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin another baby
child is born, in the ghetto
And his mama cries
Reba - He Gets that from Me
He said he sure misses you, he really misses you
He gets that from me.
Sherrif - When I'm With You
I never needed love, like I need you
And I never lived for nobody but I live for you
OOOOOO babe, lost in love is what I feel when I'm with you
Alabama - Feels so Right
Goo Goo Dolls - Iris
Neil Diamond - Forever in Blue Jeans | |

Posted: 4/19/2007 1:31:41 PM | This was Written By frank Zappa more than 20 years ago...and it is perhaps more relevant and important today.
They got lies so big
They don't make a noise
They tell 'em so well
Like a secret disease
That makes you go numb
With a big ol' lie
And a flag and a pie
And a mom and a bible
Most folks are just liable
To buy any line
Any place, any time
When the lie's so big
As in Robertson's case,
(That sinister face
Behind all the Jesus hurrah)
Could result in the end
To a worrisome trend
In which every American
Not "born again"
Could be punished in cruel and unusual ways
By this treacherous cretin
Who tells everyone
That he's Jesus' best friend
When the lie's so big
And the fog gets so thick
And the facts disappear
The Republican Trick
Can be played out again
People, please tell me when
We'll be rid of these men!
Just who do they really
Suppose that they are?
And how did they manage to travel as far
As they seem to have come?
Were we really that dumb?
People, wake up
Figure it out
Religious fanatics
Around and about
The Court House, The State House,
The Congress, The White House
Criminal saints
With a "Heavenly Mission" --
A nation enraptured
By pure superstition
When the lie's so big
And the fog gets so thick
And the facts disappear
The Republican Trick
Can be played out again
People, please tell me when
We'll be rid of these men | |

Posted: 9/8/2008 10:13:39 PM | There are WAY too many for me to list them all.............and all for different reasons. Just to name a few....................
Twelfth of Never - Johnny Mathis
Just Got Started Loving You - James Otto
Letters From Home - John Michael Montgomery
When It Rains, I Pour - Gretchen Wilson
Nothing On But the Radio & Man To Man - Gary Allan
The only song I've ever come across though, that literally makes me cry every single time........no matter WHAT kind of mood I am in, is "I Will Take Care Of You" by Amy Sky.............
On a September afternoon
in nineteen sixty one
A baby girl's first cry rang out
a new life had begun
Her mother rocked her in her arms
and she kissed the tiny brow-and she said
"Darling I'm just as scared as you
But i promise you somehow"
I will take care of you
the very best that I can
With all of the love here in my heart
and all of the strength in my hands
Your every joy I'll share
for every tear I'll be there
my whole life through
I will take care of you
On a September afternoon
in nineteen eighty five
that little girl had grown into
a beautiful young bride
She turned to the man who held her hand
in front of the waiting crowd
They smiled at each other as they spoke
and this was their wedding vow
I will take care of you
the very best that I can
With all of the love here in my heart
and all of the strength in my hands
Your every joy I'll share
for every tear i'll be there
my whole life through
I will take care of you
On a September afternoon
In nineteen eighty nine
The girl waited by a hospital bed
Never leaving her mother's side
And she said "Mama why don't
you close your eyes
try to get some rest
It's my turn to take care
of you and I learned from
the best
I will take care of you"
On a September afternoon
In nineteen ninety one
A baby girl's first cry rang out
A new life has begun... | |

Posted: 9/9/2008 9:07:29 AM | Nice to see this thread make an appearance again. Music is a big part of my life. Like many others, I also use music for many things, enjoyment, comfort, fun, relief..and so much more. Music can say so much when in fact it doesn't have to say much at all. It just affects me.
I posted last year in this thread...and of course over time, more music comes up, you hear other pieces that just do something to you.
*You Raise Me Up - Josh Groban (for my son - he is 11 and loves Josh)
*I Hope You Dance - LeeAnn Womack (Lyrics posted above in previous post)
*I Sing Because I'm Happy - Lauren Hill
*Angels Among Us - Alabama (for my Grandmother - her favourite, she was and still is even though she not with us on earth now)
Some many come to mind, depending on the moment and what's going on with me and in my life. Some have much more meaning than others...
Music touches the soul! | |

Posted: 9/9/2008 9:24:28 AM | The lyrics for the songs from my best friends new album just kill me. There are so many killer songs on there and when the album is released, people will be blown away. Every time I hear him sing these songs, I get all teary and weepy...they are so moving and each one has some relevance to our friendship and how deep it goes.
So, watch for it this winter. The album is 80% completed and will be released late Jan or Feb of 09 through EMI Records and it will be called Dirty Kisses!
Trust me folks...you want lyrics that will move you, there are plenty on that album to make you flip! | |

Randy Newman
Short People got no reason
Short People got no reason
Short People got no reason
To live
They got little hands
And little eyes
And they walk around
Tellin' great big lies
They got little noses
And tiny little teeth
They wear platform shoes
On their nasty little fett
Well, I don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
Round here
Short People are just the same
As you and I
(A Fool Such As I)
All men are brothers
Until the day they die
(It's A Wonderful World)
Short People got nobody
Short People got nobody
Short People got nobody
To love
They got little baby legs
And they stand so low
You got to pick 'em up
Just to say hello
They got little cars
That got beep, beep, beep
They got little voices
Goin' peep, peep, peep
They got grubby little fingers
And dirty little minds
They're gonna get you every time
Well, I don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
'Round here | |
