got to make it somehow on the dreams you still believe Don't give it up you've got an empty cup only love can fill only love can fill
Been walking all morning Went walking all night Ican't see much difference between the dark and light And I feel the wind And I taste the rain Never in my mind to cause so much pain
Comes a time when the blind man takes your hand says: don't you see? got to make it somehow on the dreams you still believe Don't give it up you've got an empty cup only love can fill only love can fill
From day to day just letting it ride you get so far away from how it feels inside You can't let go cause you're afraid to fall till the day may come when you can't feel at all
Comes a time when the blind man takes your hand says: don't you see? got to make it somehow on the things you still believe Don't give it up you've got an empty cup only love can fill only love can fill
Ani DiFranco - School Night (lyrics in the video). Parts of this one get me pretty deep, actually.
Ani DiFranco - Shameless
i cannot name this i cannot explain this and i really don't want to just call me shameless i can't even slow this down let alone stop this and i keep looking around but i cannot top this
if i had any sense i guess i'd fear this i guess i'd keep it down so no one would hear this i guess i'd shut my mouth and rethink a minute but i can't shut it now 'cuz there's something in it
we're in a room without a door and i am sure without a doubt they're gonna wanna know how we got in here and they're gonna wanna know how we plan to get out we better have a good explanation for all the fun that we had 'cuz they are coming for us, baby they are going to be mad they are going to be mad at us
this is my skeleton this is the skin it's in that is, according to light and gravity i'll take off my disguise the mask you met me in 'cuz i got something for you to see just gimme your skeleton give me the skin it's in yeah baby, this is you according to me i never avert my eyes i never compromise so nevermind the poetry
we're in a room without a door...
i gotta cover my butt 'cuz i covet another man's wife i got to divide my emotions between wrong and right then i get to see how close i can get to it without giving in then i get to rub up against it till i break the skin rub up against it till i break the skin
they're gonna be mad at us they're gonna be mad at me and you yeah, they're gonna be mad at us and all the things we wanna do they're gonna be mad at us they're gonna be mad at me and you they're gonna be mad at us and all the things we like do
just please don't name this please don't explain this just blame it all on me say i was shameless say i couldn't slow it down let alone stop it and say you just hung around 'cuz you couldn't top it
Ani Difranco - Overlap
I search your profile for a translation I study the conversation like a map 'cause I know there is strength in the differences between us and I know there is comfort where we overlap
come here stand in front of the light stand still so I can see your sillouette I hope you have got all night 'cause I'm not done looking, no, I'm not done looking yet
each one of us wants a piece of the action you can hear it in what we say you can see it in what we do we negotiate with chaos for some sense of satisfaction if you won't give it to me at least give me a better view
come here stand in front of the light stand still so I can see your sillouette I hope you have got all night 'cause I'm not done looking no, I'm not done looking yet
I build each one of my songs out of glass so you can see me inside of them I suppose or you could just leave the image of me in the backround, I guess and watch your own reflection superimposed
I build each one of my days out of hope and I give that hope your name and I don't know you that well but it don't take much to tell either you don't have the balls or you don't feel the same
come here stand in front of the light stand still so I can see your sillouette I hope you have got all night 'cause I'm not done looking no, I'm not done looking yet
I seach your profile for a translation I study the conversation like a map 'cause I know there is strength in the differences between us and I know there is comfort where we overlap
Shoot, I could post about fifty Ani songs, so I'll move on to Van, because I could post fifty of his, too.
Van Morrison - Astral Weeks
If I ventured in the slipstream Between the viaducts of your dream Where immobile steel rims crack And the ditch in the back roads stop Could you find me? Would you kiss-a my eyes? To lay me down In silence easy To be born again To be born again From the far side of the ocean If I put the wheels in motion And I stand with my arms behind me And I’m pushin’ on the door Could you find me? Would you kiss-a my eyes? To lay me down In silence easy To be born again To be born again There you go Standin’ with the look of avarice Talkin’ to huddie ledbetter Showin’ pictures on the wall Whisperin’ in the hall And pointin’ a finger at me There you go, there you go Standin’ in the sun darlin’ With your arms behind you And your eyes before There you go Takin’ good care of your boy Seein’ that he’s got clean clothes Puttin’ on his little red shoes I see you know he’s got clean clothes A-puttin’ on his little red shoes A-pointin’ a finger at me And here I am Standing in your sad arrest Trying to do my very best Lookin’ straight at you Comin’ through, darlin’ Yeah, yeah, yeah If I ventured in the slipstream Between the viaducts of your dreams Where immobile steel rims crack And the ditch in the back roads stop Could you find me Would you kiss-a my eyes Lay me down In silence easy To be born again In another world In another time Got a home on high Ain’t nothing but a stranger in this world I’m nothing but a stranger in this world I got a home on high In another land So far away
Van Morrison - Crazy Love
I can hear her heart beat for a thousand miles And the heavens open every time she smiles And when I come to her that's where I belong Yet I'm running to her like a river's song Chorus: She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She's got a fine sense of humor when I'm feeling low down And when I come to her when the sun goes down Take away my trouble, take away my grief Take away my heartache, in the night like a thief
Chorus: Yes I need her in the daytime Yes I need her in the night Yes I want to throw my arms around her Kiss her hug her kiss her hug her tight
And when I'm returning from so far away She gives me some sweet lovin' brighten up my day Yes it makes me righteous, yes it makes me feel whole Yes it makes me mellow down in to my soul
Van Morrison - Tupelo Honey
You can take all the tea in China Put it in a big brown bag for me Sail right around the seven oceans Drop it straight into the deep blue sea She's as sweet as tupelo honey She's an angel of the first degree She's as sweet as tupelo honey Just like honey from the bee
You can't stop us on the road to freedom You can't keep us 'cause our eyes can see Men with insight, men in granite Knights in armor bent on chivalry She's as sweet as tupelo honey She's an angel of the first degree She's as sweet as tupelo honey Just like honey from the bee
You can't stop us on the road to freedom You can't stop us 'cause our eyes can see Men with insight, men in granite Knights in armor intent on chivalry She's as sweet as tupelo honey She's an angel of the first degree She's as sweet as tupelo honey Just like honey from the bee
You know she's alright You know she's alright with me She's alright, she's alright (she's an angel)
You can take all the tea in China Put it in a big brown bag for me Sail it right around the seven oceans Drop it smack dab in the middle of the deep blue sea Because she's as sweet as tupelo honey She's an angel of the first degree She's as sweet as tupelo honey Just like honey from the bee
She's as sweet as tupelo honey She's an angel of the first degree She's as sweet as tupelo honey Just like the honey, baby, from the bee She's my baby, you know she's alright.....
Van Morrison - Take Me Back
I’ve been walking by the river I’ve been walking down by the water I’ve been walking down by the river
I’ve been feeling so sad and blue I’ve been thinking, I’ve been thinking, I’ve been thinking, I’ve been thinking, I’ve been thinking, I’ve been thinking, Ah there’s so much suffering, and it’s Too much confusion, too much, too much confusion in the world
Take me back, take me back, take me back Take me way back, take me way back, take me way back Take me way back, take me way back, take me way back Take me way back, take me way back, ah! Take me way, way, way, way, way, way, way back, huh! Help me un.....help me understand Take me, do you remember the time darlin’ When everything made more sense in the world (yeah) Oh I remember, I remember When life made more sense Ah, ah, take me back, take me back, take me back, take me back Take me back, take me back, take me back, take me back Take me back (woah) to when the world made more sense Well there’s too much suffering and confusion And I’m walking down by the river Oh, let me understand religion
Way, way back, way back When you walked, in a green field, in a green meadow Down an avenue of trees On a, on a golden summer And the sky was blue And you didn’t have no worries, you didn’t have no care You were walking in a green field In a meadow, through the buttercups, in the summertime And you looked way out over, way out Way out over the city and the water And it feels so good, and it feels so good And you keep on walking
And the music on the radio, and the music on the radio Has so much soul, has so much soul And you listen, in the nightime While we’re still and quiet
And you look out on the water And the big ships, and the big boats Came on sailing by, by, by, by And you felt so good, and I felt so good I felt I wanna blow my harmonica
Take me back, there, take me way back there Take me back, take me back, take me back Take me way, way, way back, way back To when, when I understood When I understood the light, when I understood the light In the golden afternoon, in the golden afternoon In the golden afternoon, in the golden afternoon In the golden afternoon when we sat and listened to sonny boy blow
In the golden afternoon when We sat and let sonny boy, blow, blow his harp
Take me back, take me back, take me back Take me way, way, way, way, way, way, way Back when i, when I understood, when I understood, yeah Oh, ah, take me way back, when, when, when, when, when, when When, when, when, when, when, when, when I was walking down the Walking down the street and It didn’t matter `cause everything felt, everything felt, everything felt Everything felt, everything felt, everything felt, everything felt Everything felt, everything felt, everything felt so right, ha And so good Everything felt, so right, and so good Everything felt, so right, and so good Everything felt, so right, and so good, ah Everything felt, so right, and so good Everything felt, so right, and so good, so good In the eternal now, in the eternal moment In the eternal now, in the eternal moment In the eternal now Everything felt so good, so good, so good, so good, so good And so right, so right, so right, just So good, so right, so right, in the eternal In the eternal moment, in the eternal moment In the eternal moment, in the eternal moment When you lived, when you lived When you lived, in the light When you lived in the grace In the grace, in grace When you lived in the light In the light, in the grace And the blessing.
I love this one too. I can sing every song off of Out of Range by heart and I lost the CD, like, 10 tears ago and never replaced it.
I went through an Ani phase in the early-mid 90's (and saw her several times) but somehow stopped following her stuff a few years later.
I'm still a hard core addict. Have been since 1993. I check the Righteous Babe website for news of a new album weekly. This is now officially the longest she's gone in between albums (by far).
Which one, aren't they all stupid ? I guess you are probably talking about "Anyone else but you". I like Adam Green's music who was one half of the Moldy Peaches. I have to think which one of his crazy love songs I could include in my top 5 .

This one is one of my very favourite love songs . I prefer this half German, half English version, but there is one one only in English too.

Yes, that one!
I actually learned of Moldy Peaches when I fell in love with the other half - Kimya Dawson. It was REALLY exciting when she got all those songs on the Juno soundtrack - suddenly people knew who she was!

You didn't strike me as an Etta fan!
