I loveeeeeeeee music. I'm going to post the lyrics to some of my favorite songs when I get time here...just 'cause I think some of them are so great! Anyone is welcome to share. I also may look up some of them on YouTube..and some I already have there...just in case you'd like to have a listen as well. There are some really good lyrics *and* music floatin' around out there.....which--well, that's all a matter of opinion...but for those who are interested...maybe we can share some of our current favorites. I just got in from work, have tomorrow off, and feel like hangin' out on the pute for a while anyway....sometimes you just don't feel like readin' a book or watching tv yanno? (Tho..not often on the book thing!) Share if you like or have a listen of some of mine if you feel like it...if I can find the vids!

www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4ySSg4QG8gDon't Blink--Kenney Chesney I turned on the evening news Saw a old man being interviewed Turning a hundred and two today Asked him what's the secret to life He looked up from his old pipe Laughed and said "All I can say is." Don't blink Just like that you're six years old and you're taking naps and you Wake up and you're twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wife Don't blink You just might miss your babies growing like mine did Turning into moms and dads next thing you know your better half Of fifty years is there in bed And you're praying God takes you instead Trust me friend a hundred years goes faster than you think So don't blink I was glued to my tv and it looked like he looked at me and said "Best start putting first things first." Cause when your hourglass runs out of sand You can't flip over and start again Take every breathe God gives you for what it's worthDon't Blink Just like that you're six years old and you're taking naps and you Wake up and you're twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wife Don't blink You just might miss your babies growing like mine did Turning into moms and dads next thing you know your better half Of fifty years is there in bed And you're praying God takes you instead Trust me friend 100 years goes faster than you thinkSo I've been tryna slow it down I've been tryin to take it in In this here today gone tomorrow world we're livin' in Don't blink Just like that you're six years old and you're taking naps and you Wake up and you're twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wife Don't blink You just might miss your babies growing like mine did Turning into moms and dads next thing you know your better half Of fifty years is there in bed And you're praying God takes you instead Trust me friend a hundred years goes faster you think Don't blink Naw, don't blink (WHAT an absolute tearjerker....BE WARNED if you're a sap like me!!!)

www.youtube.com/watch?v=PY45DkaP9LsI Just Called To Say I Love You--Stevie Wonder No New Year's Day to celebrate No chocolate covered candy hearts to give away No first of spring No song to sing In fact here's just another ordinary day No April rain No flowers bloom No wedding Saturday within the month of June But what it is, is something true Made up of these three words that I must say to you I just called to say I love you I just called to say how much I care I just called to say I love you And I mean it from the bottom of my heart No summer's high No warm July No harvest moon to light one tender August night No autumn breeze No falling leaves Not even time for birds to fly to southern skies No Libra sun No Halloween No giving thanks to all the Christmas joy you bring But what it is, though old so new To fill your heart like no three words could ever do I just called to say I love you I just called to say how much I care, I do I just called to say I love you And I mean it from the bottom of my heart I just called to say I love you I just called to say how much I care, I do I just called to say I love you And I mean it from the bottom of my heart, of my heart, of my heart I just called to say I love you I just called to say how much I care, I do I just called to say I love you And I mean it from the bottom of my heart, of my heart, baby of my heart Awwwwwwwwwww. Gotta love it. My fave song by him...he's da man!

www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Q1KXAVTZyYSeasons In The Season--Terry Jacks Goodbye to you my trusted friend We've known each other since we were nine or ten Together we climbed hills and trees Learned of love and A B C's Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees. Goodbye my friend it's hard to die When all the birds are singing in the sky Now that the spring is in the air Pretty girls are everywhere Think of me and I'll be there(only consolation I suppose.) We had joy we had fun We had seasons in the sun But the hills that we climbed were just seasons Out of time...... Goodbye Papa please pray for me I was the black sheep of the family You tried to teach me right from wrongToo much wine and too much song Wonder how I got along. Goodbye Papa its hard to die When all the birds are singing in the sky Now that the spring is in the air Little children everywhere When you see them I'll be there. We had joy we had fun We had seasons in the sun But the wine and the song like the seasons Have all gone. We had joy we had fun We had seasons in the sun But the wine and the song like the seasons Have all gone. Goodbye Michelle my little one You gave me love and helped me find the sun And every time that I was down You would always come around And get my feet back on the ground.
Goodbye Michelle it's hard to die When all the birds are singing in the skyNow that the spring is in the air With the flowers everywhere I wish that we could both be there(I wish this so very much. ) We had joy we had fun We had seasons in the sun But the stars we could reach Were just starfish on the beach We had joy we had fun We had seasons in the sun But the stars we could reach Were just starfish on the beach We had joy we had fun We had seasons in the sun But the wine and the song like the seasons Have all gone All our lives we had fun We had seasons in the sun But the hills that we climbed were just seasons Out of time...... We had joy we had fun We had seasons in the sun OK...I had to post this and explain to you, my friends--perhaps it will be cathartic for me. I always get a bit sad around this time of year and have a difficult time bringing myself up out out of it. My brother passed away September 22, 2001, 11 days after the Sept. 11th attacks. After Sept 11th my family was shocked and horrified just like anyone else...and then when our lives were changed on the 22nd, it just....I don't know...as horrific and awful as it was...and still is....our own family became more important than the tragedy going on around us.
I think what made it most impossible for us to understand is that it was a suicide...and as some have said, very rightly so, that means there will always be questions in our minds...and second guessing. My parents were at convention when they got the call...both good and bad, IMO. They were where they could get the very most love and support for themselves...and at the same time, it really brings it home again to them each year now when they go.
So...the song. I went back to work a week after my brother passed away. He was buried about 1/2 mile from where I worked and I passed the cemetary to get there. It was obviously still very fresh. This song came on the radio that night. My brother *was* in his way, the "black sheep" of the family. We never treated him that way, of course, but he did his best to be! My dad certainly DID do his very best to teach him right from wrong but...Heh. He did what he wanted, WHEN he wanted and if someone told him he couldn't...that was a surefire way to make sure he did do it. Stubborn as the day is long. Maybe we're a little alike. Anyway, I had heard the song and loved the actual music of it in the past, but never listened *too* closely to the words before. When the words "Goodbye Michelle it's hard to die" came on...I lost it and had a meltdown...had to leave for a while. I can't even hear the beginning few notes of this song anymore without getting completely choked. Ugh. Life is really hard sometimes. Thanks for listening. Mich

FUN one!!! ;D www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9f-lXqUZ18 As Good As I Once Was--Toby Keith She said, "I've seen you in here before" I said, "I've been here a time or two" She said, "Hello, my name is Bobby Jo Meet my twin sister Betty Lou And we're both feeling kinda wild tonight And you're the only cowboy in this place And if you're up for a rodeo I'll put a big Texas smile on your face" I said, "Girlsssssssssssssssssss I ain't as good as I once was I got a few years on me now But there was a time, back in my prime When I could really lay it down And if you need some love tonight Then I might have just enough I ain't as good as I once was But I'm as good once as I ever was" I still hang out with my best friend Dave(tease my brother Dave about this lyric) 've known him since we were kids at school Last night he had a few shots, got in a tight spot Hustlin' a game of pool with a couple of redneck boys One great big bad biker man I heard David yell across the room "Hey buddy, how 'bout a helping hand" I said, "Daveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ;D I ain't as good as I once was My how the years have flown But there was a time, back in my prime When I could really hold my own But if you wanna fight tonight Guess those boys don't look all that tough I ain't as good as I once was But I'm as good once as I ever was" I used to be hell on wheels Back when I was a younger man Now my body says, "You can't do this boy" But my pride says, "Oh yes you can" I ain't as good as I once was That's just the cold hard truth I still throw a few back, talk a little smack When I'm feelin' bulletproof So don't double dog dare me now 'Cause I'd have to call your bluff I ain't as good as I once was But I'm as good once as I ever was May not be good as I once was But I'm as good once as I ever was...

www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPqp8z2zLHwMy List--Toby Keith HOW could I have left this one so far down MY list? I forgot for a minute. Unreal! Under an old brass paperweight is my list of things to do today Go to the bank and the hardware store, put a new lock on the cellar door I cross 'em off as I get 'em done but when the sun is set There's still more than a few things left I haven't got to yet Go for a walk, say a little prayer Take a deep breath of mountain air Put on my glove and play some catch It's time that I make time for that Wade the shore and cast a line Look up a long lost friend of mine Sit on the porch and give my girl a kiss Start livin', that's the next thing on my listWouldn't change the course of fate but cuttin' the grass just had to wait 'Cause I've got more important things like pushin' my kid on the backyard swing I won't break my back for a million bucks I can't take to my grave So why put off for tomorrow what I could get done todayLike go for a walk, say a little prayer Take a deep breath of mountain air Put on my glove and play some catch It's time that I make time for that Wade the shore and cast a line Look up a long lost friend of mine Sit on the porch and give my girl a kiss Start livin', that's the next thing on my list Raise a little hell, laugh 'til it hurts Put an extra five in the plate at church Call up my folks just to chat It's time that I make time for that Stay up late, then oversleep Show her what she means to me Catch up on all the things I've always missed Just start livin', that's the next thing on my list Under an old brass paperweight Is my list of things to do today

Lastly for this morning, another inspirational favorite of mine...and this man's voice is just *stunning,* IMO. M. Dedicated to...Godwww.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBga34W57AsJosh Groben--You Raise Me Up When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary; When troubles come and my heart burdened be; Then, I am still and wait here in the silence, Until you come and sit awhile with me. You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains; You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas; I am strong, when I am on your shoulders; You raise me up... To more than I can be. You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains; You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas; I am strong, when I am on your shoulders; You raise me up... To more than I can be. You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains; You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas; I am strong, when I am on your shoulders; You raise me up... To more than I can be. You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains; You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas; I am strong, when I am on your shoulders; You raise me up... To more than I can be. You raise me up... To more than I can be.

Changin' it up a bit. I lied. Not goin to bed. Gonna stay up all night, listen to more music, clean the kitchen, get my kiddo off to school and then crash for a few hours. Why, you ask? 'Cause I wanna. Guns 'N Roses--November Rain When I look into your eyes I can see a love restrained But darlin' when I hold you Don't you know I feel the same 'Cause nothin' lasts forever And we both know hearts can change And it's hard to hold a candle In the cold November rain We've been through this auch a long long time Just tryin' to kill the pain But lovers always come and lovers always go An no one's really sure who's lettin' go today Walking away If we could take the time to lay it on the line I could rest my head Just knowin' that you were mine All mine So if you want to love me then darlin' don't refrain Or I'll just end up walkin' In the cold November rain Do you need some time...on your own Do you need some time...all alone Everybody needs some time... on their own Don't you know you need some time...all alone I know it's hard to keep an open heart When even friends seem out to harm you But if you could heal a broken heart Wouldn't time be out to charm you Sometimes I need some time...on my own Sometimes I need some time...all alone Everybody needs some time... on their own Don't you know you need some time...all alone And when your fears subside And shadows still remain I know that you can love me When there's no one left to blame So never mind the darkness We still can find a way 'Cause nothin' lasts forever Even cold November rain Don't ya think that you need somebody Don't ya think that you need someone Everybody needs somebody You're not the only one You're not the only one
