Posted: 7/1/2008 12:18:46 PM | Dj Tiesto- Just Be
You can travel the world
But you can't run away
From the person you are in your heart
You can be who you want to be
Make us believe in you
Keep all your light in the dark
If you're searching for truth
You must look in the mirror
And make sense of what you can see
Just be
Just be
They say learning to love yourself
Is the first step
That you take when you want to be real
Flying on planes
To exotic locations wont teach you
How you really feel
Face up to the fact that you are who you are
And nothing can change that belief
Just be
Just be
'Cause now I know
It's not so far
To where I go
The hardest part is inside me
I need to
Just be
Just be
I was lost and
I'm still lost but
I feel so much better
'Cause now I know
It's not so far
To where I go
The hardest part is inside me
I need to
Just be
Just be | |

Posted: 7/2/2008 5:00:02 PM | When you wish upon a star by Jiminy Cricket
When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you
If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do
Fate is kind
She brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of
Their secret longing
Like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and sees you through
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true

Posted: 7/3/2008 11:05:10 PM | I always had sort of a snide attitude toward "The Circle of Life", as in who couldn't write like that for several million dollars. Just more fare for the money making machinery... though musically I like the song. Till one day a lady creating a monument for a long loved & recently lost husband asked me to put it in granite for her. When I reread it in that connection I teared up and felt a little like a fool, realizing the writer had more going for him than just another commercial creation.
"From the the day we arrive on the planet
... And blinking step into the sun
There's more to be seen than can ever be seen
... More to do than can ever be done
. . . . . Some say eat or be eaten
. . . . . Some say live and let live
But all are agreed as they join the stampede
You should never take more than you give
In the circle of life
It's the wheel of fortune
It's the leap of faith
It's the band of hope
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle, the circle of life
Some of us fall by the wayside
And some of us soar to the stars
And some of us sail through our troubles
And some have to live with the scars
There's far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round.... | |

Posted: 7/5/2008 1:45:14 PM | Music without words works best for me usually.
But Anne Lennox wrote a couple of beautiful songs lately, among which "Big Sky" and "Fingernail Moon".
Big Sky
I am giving you the blame
How did I ever get stuck in this?
Give me some grace again.

Posted: 7/5/2008 1:54:39 PM | Mission By Rush - Lee, Lifeson, Peart
Hold your fire
Keep it burning bright
Hold the flame ‘til the dream ignites
A spirit with a vision
Is a dream with a mission
I hear their passionate music
Read the words that touch my heart
I gaze at their feverish pictures
The secrets that set them apart
When I feel their powerful visions
Their fire has made alive
I wish I had that instinct
I wish I had that drive
Spirits fly on dangerous missions
Imaginations on fire
Focused high on soaring ambitions
Consumed in a single desire
In the grip of a nameless possession
A slave to the drive of obsession
A spirit with a vision
Is a dream with a mission
I watch their images flicker
Bringing life to a lifeless screen
I walk through their beautiful buildings
And I wish I had their dreams
But dreams don’t need to have motion
To keep their spark alive
Obsession has to have action
Pride turns on the drive
It’s cold comfort
To the ones without it
To know how they struggled
How they suffered about it
If their lives were exotic and strange
They would likely have gladly exchanged them
For something a little more plain
Maybe something a little more sane
We each pay a fabulous price
For our visions of Paradise
But a spirit with a vision
Is a dream with a mission | |

Laugh when your eyes are burning
Smile when your heart is filled with pain
Sigh as you brush away your sorrow
Make a vow that it's not gonna happen again
It's not right in one life too much rain
You know the wheels keep turning
Why do the tears run down your face?
We used to hide away our feelings
But for now tell yourself it won't happen again
It's not right in one life too much rain
It's too much for anyone
Too hard for anyone
Who wants a happy and peaceful life
You've gotta learn to laugh
Smile when you're spinning round and round
Sigh as you think about tomorrow
Make a vow that your gonna be happy again
It's all right in your life no more rain
It's too much for anyone
Too hard for anyone
Who wants a happy and peaceful life
You've gotta learn to laugh | |

Posted: 7/8/2008 11:07:32 PM | | Lots of songs have touched my heart very deeply, specially coming from a pentecostal church where the worship can get quite intense. But I think one of the most moving cds Ive ever listened to is The Fathers House by Brian Doerkson. It always reminds me of when Princess Diana died as I was playing it alot at that time. So it makes it somewhat sadder for me. | |

Posted: 7/10/2008 10:41:25 PM | I love music and listen to it all the time....I have been touched deeply by an Artist who sings this song....He was very young when he wrote it....Declan Galbraith....I 1st came across it on U-tube....Here are the words....and its called *An Angel*
I wish I had your pair of wings
Had them last night in my dreams.....
I was chasing butterflies till the sunrise broke my eyes.
Tonight the skies have glued my eyes
cause what they see is an Angel hive.....
I've got to touch that magic sky, greet the angels in their hive...
Sometimes I wish I were an Angel
sometimes I wish I were you.....
Sometimes I wish I were an angel
sometimes I wish I were you...
Sends me honey from above
pour it all over me sweet love...
While your flying around my head
your honey kisses keep me fed...
I wish I had a pair of wings
just like last night in my dreams...
I was lost in paradise
I wish I'd never opened my eyes....
Sometimes I wish I were an Angel
sometimes I wish I were you.........
Sometimes I wish I were an Angel
sometimes I wish I were you........
But there's danger in the air
trying so hard to be unfair.....
Danger in the air
tryin so hard to give us a scare....
but we're not afraid.................
Sometimes I wish I were an Angel
sometimes I wish I were you........
Sometimes I wish I were an Angel
sometimes I wish I were you.......
I wish I were you
I wish I were you..........
If you ever get to hear this, its absolutely beautiful.....I downloaded it from limewire...
thank yu for allowing this space for me to share this with you....... | |

Posted: 7/11/2008 12:18:30 PM | Well I have been extremely touched by Evanscence - My Immortal, Within Temptation - Memories and Sarah McLachlin - In The Arms Of An Angel, as well as Supertramp - School. The list is getting longer but I thought this song I copy and pasted here incredible, almost like Great Gig In The Sky. Of course it goes without saying, no one can show you the Matrix, you have to see it for yourself. I really appreciated its rhythm, cadence and crescendo.
Amused To Death by Roger Waters
Perfect Sense, Part I
The monkey sat on a pile of stones
And he stared at the broken bone in his hand
And the strains Viennese quartet
Rang out across the land
The monkey looked up at the stars
And he thought to himself
Memory is a stranger
History is for fools
And he cleaned his hands
In a pool of holy writing
Turned his back on the garden
And set out for the nearest town
Hold on hold on soldier
When you add it all up
The tears and marrowbone
There's an ounce of gold
And an ounce of pride in each ledger
And the Germans killed the Jews
And the Jews killed the Arabs
And Arabs killed the hostages
And that is the news
And is it any wonder
That the monkey's confused
He said Mama Mama
The President's a fool
Why do I have to keep reading
These technical manuals
And the joint chiefs of staff
And the brokers on Wall Street said
Don't make us laugh
You're smart kid
Time is linear
Memory's a stranger
History's for fools
Man is a tool in the hands
Of the great God Almighty
And they gave him command
Of a nuclear submarine
And sent him back in search of
The Garden of Eden
Of course Juno Reactor, and Don Davis rock my inner world. Paul Oakenfold too in the song Unafraid - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34Kfy2n8ihk | |

Posted: 7/11/2008 12:29:30 PM | Amused To Death... I have that on my playing list I think, great song.
Here's a George Harrison number that resonates:
We were talking-about the space between us all
And the people-who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion
Never glimpse the truth-then it's far too late-when they pass away.
We were talking-about the love we all could share-when we find it
To try our best to hold it there-with our love
With our love-we could save the world-if they only knew.
Try to realise it's all within yourself
No-one else can make you change
And to see you're really only very small,
And life flows within you and without you.
We were talking-about the love that's gone so cold and the people,
Who gain the world and lose their soul-
They don't know-they can't see-are you one of them?
When you've seen beyond yourself-then you may find, peace of mind,
Is waiting there-
And the time will come when you see
we're all one, and life flows on within you and without you. | |

Posted: 7/11/2008 1:25:15 PM | Mine is a song by the B-52's. Yeah right you think I'm out of my mind. That's actually besides the point. It's called There's a moon in the Sky: it's Called the Moon. Stop laughing.
There's a moon in the sky
It's called the moon
And everybody is there, including,
Saturn, Mercury
Venus, Mars, Jupiter
The Van Allen Belt
Roll-roll-roll-roll-rollin' in Andromeda
Won-ton-ton-ton rama-in-Andromeda
This is the Space Age
There's too many rings
There's too many things
Just ain't no atmosphere tonight
Can't get no s**t to do tonight
If you're lucky you get to ride in a gold meteorite
If you're not, you get a mouth, a mouthful of red Kryptonite
You better move over
Here comes a Super-nova
Destination moon
If you're in outer space
Don't feel out of place
'cause there are thousands of others like you
Others like you
Others like you
Well there's a moon, it's in the sky,
It's called the moon
And everybody is there including
Uranus, Neptune, Pluto
Destination moon
Many gamma rays around it
Van Allen Belt surrounds it
This is the Space Age
Please don't worry
Just don't worry
Don't worry
Others like you
Others like you | |

Posted: 7/12/2008 7:12:38 PM | Who cannot be touched by these words?
The Light That Has Lighted The World
I've heard how some people, have said
That I’ve changed
That I’m not what I was
How it really is a shame
The thoughts in their heads,
Manifest on their brow
Like bad scars from ill feelings
They themselves arouse
So hateful of anyone that is happy
Or 'free'
They live all their lives,
Without looking to see
The light that has lighted the world
It's funny how people, just won't
Accept change
As if nature itself - they'd prefer
Re-arranged
So hard to move on
When you're down in a hole
Where there's so little chance,
To experience soul
I'm grateful to anyone,
That is happy or 'free'
For giving me hope
While I’m looking to see
The light that has lighted the world
G. Harrison | |

Posted: 7/16/2008 6:28:00 AM | …and one of the greatest songs I ever heard:
Positively 4th Street
You got a lotta nerve
To say you are my friend
When I was down
You just stood there grinning
You got a lotta nerve
To say you got a helping hand to lend
You just want to be on
The side that's winning
You say I let you down
You know it's not like that
If you're so hurt
Why then don't you show it
You say you lost your faith
But that's not where it's at
You had no faith to lose
And you know it
I know the reason
That you talk behind my back
I used to be among the crowd
You're in with
Do you take me for such a fool
To think I'd make contact
With the one who tries to hide
What he don't know to begin with
You see me on the street
You always act surprised
You say, "How are you?" "Good luck"
But you don't mean it
When you know as well as me
You'd rather see me paralyzed
Why don't you just come out once
And scream it
No, I do not feel that good
When I see the heartbreaks you embrace
If I was a master thief
Perhaps I'd rob them
And now I know you're dissatisfied
With your position and your place
Don't you understand
It's not my problem
I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
And just for that one moment
I could be you
Yes, I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
You'd know what a drag it is
To see you
~Bob Dylan | |

Posted: 7/17/2008 1:19:04 AM | That would probably be... City Of Delusion by Muse
(a UK band.... sort of underground, sort of not. maybe someone here has hear of them?)
Stay away from me
Build a fortress
And shield your beliefs
Touch the divine
As we fall in line
Can I believe
When I don't trust
All your theories
Turn to dust
I choose to hide
From the all seeing eye
Destroy this City of Delusion
Break these walls down
I will avenge
Justify my reasons
With your blame
You'll not rest
Settle for less
Until you guzzle
And squander what's left
Do not deny
That you live and let die
Destroy this City of Delusion
Break these walls down
I will avenge
Justify my reasons
With your blame
Destroy this City of Delusion
Break these walls down
I will avenge
Justify my reasons
With your blame
 I'm sorry, that was mean to religious people. But seriously, this song made me think HARD about the whole religion thing. | |

Posted: 7/17/2008 1:25:56 AM | Ok one more that is a little more up beat.. I heard it the day Benazir Bhutto died (did I spell her name right?) What got me was "Why can't we see? When we bleed we bleed the same!". Beautiful!! That and blackout, played at my nephews funeral, and it mean so much to me to hear a song I loved played for someone I loved!
Map Of The Problematique Lyrics
Fear and panic in the air
I want to be free
>From desolation and despair
And I feel like everything I saw
Is being swept away
When I refuse to let you go
I can't get it right
Get it right
Since I met you
Loneliness be over
When will this loneliness be over
Life will flash before my eyes
So scattered and lost
I want to touch the other side
And no one thinks they are to blame
Why can't we see
That when we bleed we bleed the same
I can't get it right
Get it right
Since I met you
Loneliness be over
When will this loneliness be over
Loneliness be over
When will this loneliness be over
Blackout Lyrics
don't kid yourself
and don't fool yourself
this love's too good to last
and i'm too old to dream
don't grow up too fast
and don't embrace the past
this life's too good to last
and i'm too young to care
don't kid yourself
and don't fool yourself
this life could be the last
and we're too young to see | |

Posted: 7/18/2008 10:59:28 AM | Amazing Grace
"Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me....
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see.
T'was Grace that taught...
my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear...
the hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares...
we have already come.
T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far...
and Grace will lead us home.
The Lord has promised good to me...
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be...
as long as life endures.
When we've been here ten thousand years...
bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise...
then when we've first begun.
"Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me....
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see.
T'was Grace that taught...
my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear...
the hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares...
we have already come.
T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far...
and Grace will lead us home.
The Lord has promised good to me...

"Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me....
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see.
It reminds me of my Grandmother.
I love the history behind the song as much as the song itself.
Negro Spirituals were written on the black keys of the piano. "Amazing Grace" is a so-called "white spiritual." The white spirituals were written by white composers who used only the black keys.
The five keys (notes) are called the pentatonic scale, but in early America were referred to as the "slave scale". They build the power and pathos of the Negro Spirituals with their unique West African Sorrow Chant sound.
The words to Amazing Grace were written by John Newton, a former Captain of a Slave Ship. After Newton came to salvation through Jesus Christ, he heard a melody coming from the belly of the ship, and it is believed it was to that sorrowful melody that he wrote the words and named it Amazing Grace. No one knows who wrote the music.
Some believe God planned it to be written that way to remind us that we are all humans in common, no matter what race, creed, or color we happen to be. We are all connected by God's Amazing Grace.
