Kevin and I have been dealing with some difficult, painful, life-altering issues...a few days ago, he sent me a link to this song...

For Guinevere by Heather Dale

With all the years between us
(I know your heart)
You know I'd never lie
Let other people judge us
With all their own assumptions
You know with me you never have to hide

We'll never be those wide-eyed kids who fell in love then
We'll never fit inside those narrow lines again
We could pretend, we could pretend
But that never suited us somehow

Love is endlessly surprising
Too precious to be squandered
I'll always be your lover,
I'll always be your shoulder,
And I don't care how far they say we've wandered.

They think the only road is where they're heading,
But you and I were meant to sail upon the sea.
We could pretend, we could pretend,
But that never suited us somehow.

So trust me now
I'll never weigh you like and anchor.
I hope you'll always see me there inside your sail

I can see you're always worrying
What they'll say when they find out
(If you'd only listen)
It might surprise them
With what this choice is actually about.

We don't apologize for what we share between us
And every day we seem to fall in love again
We could pretend, we could pretend,
We could pretend, we could pretend
But that never suited us somehow

So trust me now.
Trust me now.
Trust me now.

Hozier , Take me to Church

"No Masters or Kings
When the Ritual begins
There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin"



Zac Brown Band , Junkyard

I have lived in a junkyard,
Where the weeds eat up the rain
If you get anything there, even out of place
You know there's hell to pay

And he said, "You're as sick, as you are lovely,
And in need of a hand"
He tells me, "You are never worthy"
But I was just a child, you see
That's my reality

He had a sick little girl, dirty and harmed
With a breast plate made of metal
She drives all day in a rusty Buick
And her feet don't reach the pedals

Got a jar of flies, a father's disguise,
Where his heart should be
A mouth is sown together
She screams with those eyes
(She screams with those eyes)
She screams with those eyes

She's as sick, as she is lovely
And in need of my hand
He tells her, "You are never worthy"
She was all alone, you see
That was her reality

Yeaaaah...
Well I've shoulda been sleepin', shoulda been dreamin'
But I wake up to broken glass
There'll be one more empty desk in my homeroom class
I got an old bone pocket knife, tight in my right hand
To save my poor mother from the junkyard man

And I say, "He's as sick as he is lovely,
And in need of a hand"
He will know he's not worthy
When he dies alone you'll see
That's his reality

I'm not sick, I am lovely
And hatred is the curse of man
And I will not feel unworthy
Cause I've washed my hands, [I]
you see
That's my reality, yeah
[/I]


So Beautiful - Savage Garden



Whether I'm right or wrong
There's no phrase that hits
Like an ocean needs the sand
Or a dirty old shoe that fits
And if all the world was perfect
I would only ever want to see your scars

You know they can have their universe
We'll be in the dirt designing stars

And darlin' you know
You make me feel so beautiful
Nowhere else in the world I wanna be
You make me feel so beautiful

Whether I'm up or down
There's no crowd to please
I'm like a faith without a clause to believe in it
And if all the world was smiling
I would only ever want to see your frown
You know they can sail away in sunsets
We'll be right here stranded on the ground
Just happy to be found

You make me feel so beautiful
Nowhere else in the world I wanna be
You make me feel so beautiful

I have lost my illusions
I have drowned in your words
I have left my confusion to a cynical world
I am throwing myself at things I don't understand
Discover enlightenment holding your hand

You are..
So Beautiful

Grateful Dead..."Touch Of Grey"

Must be getting early, clocks are running late.
Paint by number morning sky, looks so phony.
Dawn is breaking everywhere, light a candle, curse the glare
Draw the curtains I don't care 'cause it's alright
I will get by, I will get by, I will get by, I will survive.

I see you've got your fists out, say your piece and get out.
Guess I get the gist of it but it's alright
Sorry that you feel that way.
The only thing there is to say
Every silver lining's got a touch of grey
I will get by, I will get by, I will get by, I will survive.

It's a lesson to me
The Ables and the Bakers and the C's
The ABC's we all must face
To try to keep a little grace

It's a lesson to me
The Deltas and the East and the Freeze
The ABC's we all think of
To try to give a little love

I know the rent is in arrears, the dog has not been fed in years
It's even worse than it appears but it's alright

Cow is given kerosene, kid can't read at seventeen
The words he knows are all obscene but it's alright
I will get by, I will get by, I will get by, I will survive.

It's a lesson to me
The Deltas and the East and the Freeze
The ABC's we all think of
To try to keep a little love

The shoe is on the hand it fits, there's all there really nothing much to it
Whistle through your teeth and spit 'cause it's alright

Oh, well, a touch of gray, kinda suits you anyway,
That's was all I had to say but it's alright
I will get by, I will get by, I will get by, I will survive.

It's a lesson to me,
The deltas and the East and the free
The ABC's we all must face,
Try to save a little grace.

We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive
We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive

We're All We Need - Above & Beyond feat Zoe Johnston

You tell me of a place you like to go
You say it will reach out and seize the sorrow
And we always mean to act on what we say
So come on, oh darling now... hurry, hurry, let's go

We're all we need, oh darling
We're all we need, oh darling
We're all we need, oh darling
We're all we need, oh darling

I told you of a place that I had been
It was dark and I was supremely alone
No matter now if the compass fails again
'Сause in your love I built a home

We're all we need, oh darling
We're all we need, oh darling
We're all we need, oh darling
We're all we need, oh darling

Most certainly I'm where I'm supposed to be
In a molten sun; with you I am free
Today our hearts won first prize
'Сause we're wise with the feeling

We're all we need

Morning sun by Savatage
An incredibly lovely song.


"When you look at the morning sun

Do you see what I see
Or could I be the only one
Seeing just what I need

I envision a different man
Than the one I've become
Pray the ocean will understand
That my time isn't done

Everyone's leading
But nobody's dancing
You stand on the stage

Just to turn all alone
I have waited this way
For a lifetime of days

I can't wait for the morning sun
As I stand with the sea
And the ocean she understands

Just the man I could be

Somewhere else there's a different world

With a sun that will rise
And a moon that will take its place
In another man's eyes

And perhaps it's a better world
Than the one that I see
Or if better for no one else
Perhaps better for me

Here in the dark where the sky shows its Graces
Revealing each star while the moon plays the fool
Saying how it must be while the night disagrees

I can't wait for the morning sun
As I stand with the sea
And the ocean she understands

Just the man I could be

No, no, time doesn't wait for you
No, no, leave it alone
No, no, your days are far too few
This thing I have always known

When your time is up it's true
They never give another day to you

When your time is up it's through
No one cares how

Can't keep it

Can't save it
Can't take it away with you
So I say we use it now"

I've never been able to fully decipher the words to Delta 88 by X. I've managed to get some and then cull a few more bits from online sources, but it's forever a riddle. I once asked someone close to the band about it (which seems pretty foolish in hindsight) and the answer was something to the effect of no one knows for sure--just make up your own.

We're gonna go to Cannery Row
We're gonna go to Cannery Row
We're gonna stay at the Bates Motel
We're gonna get Tony Perkins? out
We're gonna go to Cannery Row
We're gonna stay at the Bates Motel
We're gonna get Tony Perkins? out
We're gonna go to Cannery Row

Delta 88, Delta 88 nightmare
Delta 88, Delta 88 nightmare
Delta 88, Delta 88 nightmare

Cannery Row where the bums all gone
Cannery Row where the bums all gone
Excuse me sir, ????
Look out ????
Then nowhere to go on Cannery Row
Nowhere to go on Cannery Row
Main Street bread and a beer milkshake
Just by ????
Said nothing to do on Cannery Row
It's Cannery Row and then nowhere to go
Books come true hey look Steinbeck
Bums are back in their . . .

Delta 88, Delta 88 nightmare
Delta 88, Delta 88 nightmare
Delta 88, Delta 88 nightmare
Delta 88, Delta 88 nightmare

We're gonna go to Cannery Row
We're gonna go to Cannery Row
We're gonna stay at the Bates Motel
We're gonna get Tony Perkins? out
We're gonna go to Cannery Row
We're gonna stay at the Bates Motel
We're gonna get Tony Perkins? out
We're gonna go to Cannery Row

Above & Beyond feat Alex Vargas - Making Plans


Time held its breath
A motionless spell of rapture
Across the room
A memory had been captured

And through the years
Though distance lay between us
I carried your torch
To illuminate the darkness

And I still lose myself
In that orange glowing moment
When your upturned face
Seemed to answer all my questions
But when I asked myself
As I do from time to time now
Where it all went wrong
Is there really any point in making plans?
In making plans?

So I made my vows
In the last low hours of morning
As I lay you down
I heard you whispering a warning

But then we lost ourselves
In that orange glowing moment
And your upturned face
Seemed to answer all my questions
But when I asked myself
As I do from time to time now
Where it all went wrong
Is there really any point in making plans?
In making plans?

And I still lose myself
I still lose myself
making plans

A beautiful but sad song. Alex Vargas' vocals in this gives me the chills Smile

This is a little embarrassing since this is the first time sharing any writing's, and I don't think my lyric's are any good really, but it's worth a shot. This song is still incomplete, and only goes until the first chorus, but I will update when it's complete. I may also share some other complete songs. Thank you for reading.

Tittle: Truth

So long so what, I've walked this path all on my own. How was i to know you'd be right there by my side. Forever us that's what we told ourselves, all this time and my eyes are finally open now. Through it all through and the tears, we seen it all through the years. The good with the bad you're strength made me stand, you're hand in mine was all i ever needed until the end.
Be truthful to yourself, be truthful to you're heart. Hold onto what you don't want to depart. Be truthful when you're looking in there eyes, be truthful to what you're feeling inside. Hold onto the you that you know is real inside.

Hold onto the love you once shared.

My all time favorite artist/band is Jonette / Concrete Blonde. They have many many awesome songs, but this one is probably my favorite...ok my fav changes back and forth btw several of their songs, but atm this is my fav! Lol

"Take Me Home"

Pick up the phone I know you're there
It's almost closing time
& we can toss down one more shot
Before last call

Are you ok?
I swear to God
I gotta get out of this house
I miss the days when I'd just
Not come home at all..

So, don't you cry, it'll give you lines
Around your eyes
You gotta try not to live so much of
Life alone.
& if I see you getting crazy by the bottom of the bottle
Take me home, take me home, I'll take
You home

Remember when we used to stumble
Down the boulevard
From bar to bar until we couldn't stagger straight
It seemed like we would live forever,
Life was not this hard
No we felt nothing much at all but it felt
Great

So, don't you cry it'll give you lines
Around your eyes
You gotta try not to live so much of
Life alone
& if I see you getting crazy by the bottom of the bottle,
Take you home, I'll take you home, I'll
Take you home.

Things get better everyday you stay alive
Then I'm amazed
Every day
That the sun decides to rise
Every minute, every hour, is another
Chance to change
Life is beautiful & terrible & strange.

So don't you cry, it'll give you lines around
Your eyes
You gotta try not to live so much of life alone
& if I see you getting crazy by the bottom
Of the bottle,
Take you home, I'll take you home, I'll take you home.

Now don't you cry, it'll give you lines around
Your eyes
You gotta try not to live so much of life alone
& if you see me getting crazy by the bottom of the bottle,
Take me home, take me home, take me home.

"Savages" by Marina and the Diamonds

Murder lives forever
And so does war
It's survival of the fittest
Rich against the poor
At the end of the day
It's a human trait
Hidden deep down inside of our DNA

One man can build a bomb
Another run a race
To save somebody's life
And have it blow up in his face
I'm not the only one who
Finds it hard to understand
I'm not afraid of God
I am afraid of Man

Is it running in our blood
Is it running in our veins
Is it running in our genes
Is it in our DNA
Humans aren't gonna behave
As we think we always should
Yeah, we can be bad as we can be good

Underneath it all, we're just savages
Hidden behind shirts, ties and marriages
How could we expect anything at all
We're just animals, still learning how to crawl

We live, we die
We steal, we kill, we lie
Just like animals
But with far less grace
We laugh, we cry
Like babies in the night
Forever running wild
In the human race

Another day, another tale of rape
Another ticking bomb to bury deep and detonate
I'm not the only one who finds it hard to understand
I'm not afraid of God
I'm afraid of Man

You can see it on the news
You can watch it on TV
You can read it on your phone
You can say it's troubling
Humans aren't gonna behave
As we think we always should
Yeah, we can be bad as we can be good

Underneath it all, we're just savages
Hidden behind shirts, ties and marriages
How could we expect anything at all
We're just animals, still learning how to crawl
Underneath it all, we're just savages
Hidden behind shirts, ties and marriages
Truth is in us all, cradle to the grave
We're just animals still learning to behave

All the hate coming out from a generation
Who got everything, and nothing guided by temptation
Were we born to abuse, shoot a gun and run
Or has something deep inside of us come undone?
Is it a human trait, or is it learned behavior
Are you killing for yourself, or killing for your savior?

Underneath it all, we’re just savages
Hidden behind shirts, ties and marriages
How could we expect anything at all?
We’re just animals still learning how to crawl
Underneath it all, we’re just savages
Hidden behind shirts, ties & marriages
Truth is in us all, cradle to the grave
We’re just animals still learning to behave
