Well I heard there was a secret chord that David played and it pleased the Lord But you don't really care for music, do ya? Well it goes like this : The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift The baffled king composing Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah... Well your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya And she tied you to her kitchen chair She broke your throne and she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah... (Yeah but) Baby I've been here before I've seen this room and I've walked this floor, (You know) I used to live alone before I knew ya And I've seen your flag on the marble arch and love is not a victory march It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah... Well there was a time when you let me know What's really going on below But now you never show that to me do ya But remember when I moved in you And the holy dove was moving too And every breath we drew was Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah... [Instrumental] Maybe there's a God above But all I've ever learned from love Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya And it's not a cry that you hear at night It's not somebody who's seen the light It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelu... Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelu... Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallellllluuuuujjjaahhhh...Hallelllluuuuujjaaaaahhhh [Edited 1/24/07 19:29pm] I love Jeff Buckley, but honestly, the original Leonard Cohen version beats all, with that note of slight defeat, cynicism yet hope in his voice. | |

Ben Harper - Better Way
I'm a living sunset Lightning in my bones Push me to the edge But my will is stone Fools will be fools And wise will be wise But i will look this world Straight in the eyes What good is a man Who won't take a stand What good is a cynic With no better plan Reality is sharp It cuts at me like a knife Everyone i know Is in the fight of their life Take your face out of your hands And clear your eyes You have a right to your dreams And don't be denied I believe in a better way [Edited 1/25/07 5:10am] "Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind"-Dr Seuss

Living In Jungles- Bedouin Soundclash
Walking round like a ghost in the world Taking stock of the pretty, pretty girls When you drop, you hear the whole world stop Say, You no ready for this yet, boy! Pack it up, take it to your home land Watch it true to the heart of any man When you listen knock you where you stand Comes with the beat, come with heat, shaking head to the feet (Whoo!) Rider can you be a ghost some day? Rider can you be a ghost some day? Rider can you be a ghost some day? Oh oh, a ghost some day Bigger man says he got love for everyone Bigger man love everything under the sun Bigger man lip a trigger of a gun saying, “Murderer! Blood upon your shoulder (Ohh!) Walk away don’t give him a fight Walk away leave him lost in the night Walk away, walk towards your holy light And then you walk like a champion, talk like a champion Rider can you be a ghost some day? Rider can you be a ghost some day? Rider can you be a ghost some day? Oh oh, a ghost some day Rider can you be a ghost some day? Rider can you be a ghost some day? Rider can you be a ghost some day? Oh oh, a ghost some day "Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind"-Dr Seuss

I used to hate this song, but I heard it the other day and it hit me like a ton of bricks.
Against the Wind - Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band It seems like yesterday But it was long ago Janey was lovely she was the queen of my nights There in the darkness with the radio, playin' low The secrets that we shared Mountains that we moved Caught like a wildfire out of control 'Til there was nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove And I remember what she said to me How she swore that it never would end I remember how she held me, oh so tight Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then Against the wind We were running against the wind We were young and strong and we were running Against the wind The years rolled slowly past And I found myself alone Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends Found myself further and further from my home I guess I lost my way There were oh so many roads I was living to run and running to live Never worrying about paying or even how much I owed Moving eight miles a minute for months at a time Breaking all of the rules that we bent Began to find myself searching Searching for shelter again and again Against the wind I was running against the wind I found myself seeking shelter Against the wind But those drifter's days are past me now I've got so much more to think about Deadlines and commitments What to leave in, what to leave out Against the wind I'm still running against the wind Well I'm older now but still running Against the wind Against the wind Against the wind.... | |

Bridge Over Troubled Water
Johnny Cash feat. Fiona Apple When you're weary, feeling small, When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all; I'm on your side. When times get rough And friends just can't be found, Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down. Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down. When you're down and out, When you're on the street, When evening falls so hard I will comfort you. I'll take your part. When darkness comes And pain is all around, Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down. Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down. Sail on silvergirl, Sail on by. Your time has come to shine. All your dreams are on their way. See how they shine. If you need a friend I'm sailing right behind. Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind. Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind. There is no perfect place

Jackson Browne
The Next Voice You Hear Gather your deeds and your possessions, Whatever certainty you've known, Forget your heroes, You don't really need those lasting lessons. Stand in the open; The next voice you hear will be your own. But, alright, they knew how they could hurt you, And you let them cut you to the bone. But God forbid, You allow them to rid you of your virtue! Forget their laughter; The next voice you hear will be your own. The next voice you hear... The next voice you hear... The next voice you hear... The next voice you hear... The next voice you hear... The next voice you hear will be your own. Throw down your truth and check your weapons. Dont look to see if you're alone, Just stand your ground, And don't turn around -- whatever happens. Don't ask directions; The next voice you hear will be your own. The next voice you hear... The next voice you hear... The next voice you hear... The next voice you hear... The next voice you hear... The next voice you hear will be your own. There is no perfect place

Have you any dreams you'd like to sell? Dreams of loneliness... Like a heartbeat... drives you mad... In the stillness of remembering what you had... And what you lost... And what you had... And what you lost Thunder only happens when it's raining Players only love you when they're playing Say... women... they will come and they will go When the rain washes you clean... you'll know | |

Waiting For My Real Life To Begin Any minute now, my ship is coming in I'll keep checking the horizon I'll stand on the bow, feel the waves come crashing Come crashing down down down, on me And you say, be still my love Open up your heart Let the light shine in But don't you understand I already have a plan I'm waiting for my real life to begin When I awoke today, suddenly nothing happened But in my dreams, I slew the dragon And down this beaten path, and up this cobbled lane I'm walking in my old footsteps, once again And you say, just be here now Forget about the past, your mask is wearing thin Let me throw one more dice I know that I can win I'm waiting for my real life to begin Any minute now, my ship is coming in I’ll keep checking the horizon And I'll check my machine, there's sure to be that call It's gonna happen soon, soon, soon It's just that times are lean And you say, be still my love Open up your heart, let the light shine in Don't you understand I already have a plan I'm waiting for my real life to begin (some good songs playing on shuffle!!)

I can see it in your eyes
And feel it in your touch I know that you're scared But you've never been this loved (mm hmm) It's a long shot, baby, I know it's true. But if anyone can make it, I'm bettin' on me and you. (mm hmm) Just keep on moving into me, I know you're gonna see The best is yet to come And don't fear it now, We're going all the way. That sun is shining on a brand new day. It's a long way down And it's a leap of faith But we're never giving up Cuz i know we've got a once in a lifetime love Everybody's looking For what we've found Some wait their whole life And it never comes around. (uu huhh) So don't hold back now. Just let go of all you've ever known You can put your hand in mine. And don't fear it now, We're going all the way. That sun is shining on a brand new day. It's a long way down And it's a leap of faith But we're never giving up Cuz i know we've got a once in a lifetime love I close my eyes and i see you standing right there Sayin 'i do' and they're throwing the rice in our hair. Well the first one's born And a brother comes along, And he's got your smile. I've been looking back on the life we had I'm still by your side. So don't fear it now, We're going all the way. That sun is shining on a brand new day. It's a long way down And it's a leap of faith But I'm never givin up Cuz i know we've got a once in a lifetime love. | |

this song made me cry a few times until ten years ago, when i had a dad again.
Father of mine Tell me where have you been You know I just closed my eyes My whole world disappeared Father of mine Take me back to the day When I was still your golden boy Back before you went away I remember blue skies Walking the block I loved it when you held me high I loved to hear you talk You would take me to the movie You would take me to the beach You would take me to a place inside That is so hard to reach Father of mine Tell me where did you go You had the world inside your hand But you did not seem to know Father of mine Tell me what do you see When you look back at your wasted life And you dont see me I was ten years old Doing all that I could It wasnt easy for me To be a scared white boy In a black neighborhood Sometimes you would send me a birthday card With a five dollar bill I never understood you then And I guess I never will Daddy gave me a name My dad he gave me a name Then he walked away Daddy gave me a name Then he walked away My daddy gave me a name Daddy gave me a name Daddy gave me a name Then he walked away Daddy gave me a name Then he walked away My daddy gave me a name Father of mine Tell me where have you been I just closed my eyes And the world disappeared Father of mine Tell me how do you sleep With the children you abandoned And the wife I saw you beat I will never be safe I will never be sane I will always be weird inside I will always be lame Now Im a grown man With a child of my own And I swear Im not going to let her know All the pain I have known Then he walked away Daddy gave me a name Then he walked away My dad gave me a name Then he walked away My daddy gave me a name Then he walked away My daddy gave me a name Then he walked away Then he walked away Then he walked away There is no perfect place

The Power of Goodbye
Your heart is not open so I must go The spell has been broken, I loved you so Freedom comes when you learn to let go Creation comes when you learn to say no You were my lesson I had to learn I was your fortress you had to burn Pain is a warning that something's wrong I pray to God that it won't be long Do ya wanna go higher? [Chorus:] There's nothing left to try There's no place left to hide There's no greater power Than the power of good-bye Your heart is not open so I must go The spell has been broken, I loved you so You were my lesson I had to learn I was your fortress [Chorus2:] There's nothing left to lose There's no more heart to bruise There's no greater power Than the power of good-bye Learn to say good-bye I yearn to say good-bye | |

I'll Remember I always think of my mom when I hear this song
Say good-bye to not knowing when The truth in my whole life began Say good-bye to not knowing how to cry You taught me that Chorus (first time substitute "strength" for "love" and "saved" for "changed"): And I'll remember the love that you gave me Now that I'm standing on my own I'll remember the way that you changed me I'll remember Inside I was a child That could not mend a broken wing Outside I looked for a way To teach my heart to sing (chorus) I learned to let go of the illusion that we can possess I learned to let go, I travel in stillness And I'll remember happiness I'll remember [I'll remember] Mmmmm... [I'll remember] Mmmmm... (chorus) [I'll remember] No I've never been afraid to cry Now I finally have a reason why I'll remember [I'll remember] (repeat 3 times, substituting "And" for "Now" the second and third times) [Edited 1/26/07 19:31pm] | |

but i could listen to rufus wainwright sing it all day. Yes. I think Rufus Wainwright's my favorite version. Only like it slightly...ever so slightly... than Leonard's version. I don't mind his voice. it's such a beautiful song. never heard a version i didn't like -- interesting to hear the slightly different take that each vocal gives it. another good one is k.d. lang. http://elmadartista.tumblr.com/ http://twitter.com/madartista | |

Thank you - Led Zeppelin
If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you. When mountains crumble to the sea, there will still be you and me. Kind woman, I give you my all, Kind woman, nothing more. Little drops of rain whisper of the pain, tears of loves lost in the days gone by. My love is strong, with you there is no wrong, together we shall go until we die. My, my, my. An inspiration is what you are to me, inspiration, look... see. And so today, my world it smiles, your hand in mine, we walk the miles, Thanks to you it will be done, for you to me are the only one. Happiness, no more be sad, happiness....I'm glad. If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you. When mountains crumble to the sea, there will still be you and me. | |

Well I heard there was a secret chord that David played and it pleased the Lord But you don't really care for music, do ya? Well it goes like this : The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift The baffled king composing Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah... Well your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya And she tied you to her kitchen chair She broke your throne and she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah... (Yeah but) Baby I've been here before I've seen this room and I've walked this floor, (You know) I used to live alone before I knew ya And I've seen your flag on the marble arch and love is not a victory march It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah... Well there was a time when you let me know What's really going on below But now you never show that to me do ya But remember when I moved in you And the holy dove was moving too And every breath we drew was Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah... [Instrumental] Maybe there's a God above But all I've ever learned from love Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya And it's not a cry that you hear at night It's not somebody who's seen the light It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelu... Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelu... Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallellllluuuuujjjaahhhh...Hallelllluuuuujjaaaaahhhh [Edited 1/24/07 19:29pm] This perfect song is by leonhard cohen,and not by what's his face!!!!! These are the lyrics 2 a song of my own: Love is Making Justice a Game I don’t want to hurt anyone But I have to do something with this pain I’m angry in a gentle way Smoke was playing in the air I lit a candle with the greatest care As quiet as not being there Everything is remembered in hate I’m just happy that she stumbles for a name As she walks into my place I don’t need to be free of these chains It’s surely a crime with no-one to blame For Love is making justice a game The truth will defend any criminal You don’t have to see it that way too But I could find no exception to this rule Today I’m giving more than I’ll forget The blood has dried the hurting hasn’t started yet I’m falling down a slide it’s getting wet Everything is remembered in hate It’s true I have these answers now If nothing else falls my way I’ll curse you and yet still be glad you came Even if I’m wrong I won’t hang my head in shame ‘cause Love is making justice a game Love is Making Justice a Game (solo) Some men, do as they must While others they just have to die I’m keeping my shoe laces tied If you want to keep it real If on the quiet we make a deal I’ll take the next turn, my fate will be sealed All of what you say was said in vain But we make the best of what we have left Memories don’t go halfway I can’t see the beautiful for the strange Even if I’m right you raise your hand and complain That Love is making justice a game Love is Making Justice a Game And Everything is Remembered in Hate | |

Well it goes like this : The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift The baffled king composing Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah... Well your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya And she tied you to her kitchen chair She broke your throne and she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah... (Yeah but) Baby I've been here before I've seen this room and I've walked this floor, (You know) I used to live alone before I knew ya And I've seen your flag on the marble arch and love is not a victory march It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah... Well there was a time when you let me know What's really going on below But now you never show that to me do ya But remember when I moved in you And the holy dove was moving too And every breath we drew was Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah... [Instrumental] Maybe there's a God above But all I've ever learned from love Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya And it's not a cry that you hear at night It's not somebody who's seen the light It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelu... Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelu... Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallellllluuuuujjjaahhhh...Hallelllluuuuujjaaaaahhhh [Edited 1/24/07 19:29pm] This perfect song is by leonhard cohen,and not by what's his face!!!!! These are the lyrics 2 a song of my own: Love is Making Justice a Game I don’t want to hurt anyone But I have to do something with this pain I’m angry in a gentle way Smoke was playing in the air I lit a candle with the greatest care As quiet as not being there Everything is remembered in hate I’m just happy that she stumbles for a name As she walks into my place I don’t need to be free of these chains It’s surely a crime with no-one to blame For Love is making justice a game The truth will defend any criminal You don’t have to see it that way too But I could find no exception to this rule Today I’m giving more than I’ll forget The blood has dried the hurting hasn’t started yet I’m falling down a slide it’s getting wet Everything is remembered in hate It’s true I have these answers now If nothing else falls my way I’ll curse you and yet still be glad you came Even if I’m wrong I won’t hang my head in shame ‘cause Love is making justice a game Love is Making Justice a Game (solo) Some men, do as they must While others they just have to die I’m keeping my shoe laces tied If you want to keep it real If on the quiet we make a deal I’ll take the next turn, my fate will be sealed All of what you say was said in vain But we make the best of what we have left Memories don’t go halfway I can’t see the beautiful for the strange Even if I’m right you raise your hand and complain That Love is making justice a game Love is Making Justice a Game And Everything is Remembered in Hate I just happen to like Jeff Buckleys version of the song- I hope you are not going to report me to the lyric police  | |

I prefer John Cale singing it. Least of all ruthus wainwright. The credit goes to cohen though. The song is so good, it's difficult to go wrong with it. | |

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone It's not warm when she's away Ain't no sunshine when she's gone And she always gone too long anytime she goes away Wonder this time where she's gone Wonder if she's gone to stay Ain't no sunshine when she's gone And this house just ain't no home Anytime she goes away And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know Hey I'll leave the young thing alone But ain't no sunshine when she's gone Ain't no sunshine when she's gone Only darkness everyday Ain't no sunshine when she's gone And this house just ain't no home Anytime she goes away Anytime she goes away Anytime she goes away Anytime she goes away i love this song!!!  There is no perfect place

Depeche Mode-Enjoy the silence
Words like violence Break the silence Come crashing in Into my little world Painful to me Pierce right through me Cant you understand Oh my little girl All I ever wanted All I ever needed Is here in my arms Words are very unnecessary They can only do harm Vows are spoken To be broken Feelings are intense Words are trivial Pleasures remain So does the pain Words are meaningless And forgettable All I ever wanted All I ever needed Is here in my arms Words are very unnecessary They can only do harm Enjoy the silence [Edited 1/28/07 12:06pm]  | |
