Here is a good one I just heard on the radio - Normally I can't stand country music however here at work that is what I listen to 10 hours a day so here you go...
Keith Urban You'll Think Of Me
that was DEFINITELY one of my "Top 10"s, Serenity. Still is, in fact, considering how precarious my M still is!
Oh, life is bigger It's bigger than you And you are not me The lengths that I will go to The distance in your eyes Oh no, I've said too much I set it up
(chorus) That's me in the corner That's me in the spotlight, I'm Losing my religion Trying to keep up with you And I don't know if I can do it Oh no, I've said too much I haven't said enough I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try
Every whisper Of every waking hour I'm Choosing my confessions Trying to keep an eye on you Like a hurt lost and blinded fool, fool Oh no, I've said too much I set it up Consider this Consider this The hint of the century Consider this The slip that brought me To my knees failed What if all these fantasies Come flailing around Now I've said too much I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try
But that was just a dream That was just a dream
(repeat chorus)
But that was just a dream Try, cry, why try? That was just a dream Just a dream, just a dream Dream
So I used to really like Kelly Clarkson (Since You Have Been Gone). Liked it so much that last Nov, when I realized that M. was struggling and the H. might appreicate me initiating a fun night out with our friends, I did this little number at a karaoke bar. Did a damn fine job too, brought the house down.
Problem is, that night we invited some of H.'s new work friends to join. One of those friends was all broken up over breaking up with her boyfriend, so I dedicated the song to her. Two months later, I found out that this "friend" was my H.'s new EA partner.
SO this b*%ch now has my H. and my karaoke smash hit!
Me 30 H 33 together:10 years married:5 years Separated: 1/23/09 living apart 5 mos and counting "when you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on"-FDR
Alone in this house again tonight I got the TV on, the sound turned down and a bottle of wine There's pictures of you and I on the walls around me The way that it was and could have been surrounds me I'll never get over you walkin' away
(Chorus:) I've never been the kind to ever let my feelings show And I thought that bein' strong meant never losin' your self-control But I'm just drunk enough to let go of my pain To hell with my pride, let it fall like rain From my eyes Tonight I wanna cry
Would it help if I turned a sad song on "All By Myself" would sure hit me hard now that you're gone Or maybe unfold some old yellow lost love letters It's gonna hurt bad before it gets better But I'll never get over you by hidin' this way
I've never been the kind to ever let my feelings show And I thought that bein' strong meant never losin' your self-control But I'm just drunk enough to let go of my pain To hell with my pride, let it fall like rain From my eyes Tonight I wanna cry
I've never been the kind to ever let my feelings show And I thought that bein' strong meant never losin' your self-control But I'm just drunk enough to let go of my pain To hell with this pride, let it fall like rain From my eyes Tonight I wanna cry
May All Who Seek To Take My Life Be Put To Shame And Confusion; May All Who Desire My Ruin Be Turned Back In Disgrace. ~Psalm 40:14~
Hey, Don't write yourself off yet. It's only in your head you feel left out, Or looked down on. Just try your best, Try everything you can. And don't you worry what they tell themselves When you're away.
[Chorus] It just takes some time, little girl, you're in the middle of the ride. Everything, everything will be just fine, Everything, everything will be alright.
Hey, You know they're all the same. You know you're doing better on your own, So don't buy in. Live right now. Yeah, just be yourself. It doesn't matter if it's good enough For someone else.
Chorus
Hey, don't write yourself off yet. It's only in your head you feel left out, Or looked down on. Just do your best, Do everything you can. And don't you worry what their bitter hearts Are gonna say.
I actually think that it might be the perfect DB song.
Grateful dead- box of rain, its just good for me to hear this one.
When I want to feel sad, Breathing by lifehouse does the trick, I just posted the chorus.
I am hanging on every word you say And even if you don't want to speak tonight That's alright, alright with me 'Cause I want nothing more than to sit Outside Heaven's door and listen to you breathing Is where I want to be
Recently I found Try and Catch the Wind by Donovan, another good one.
I guess I gave the wrong finger to the wrong man...
I like that a lot, Serenity. I recently rediscovered this from '07 by my favorite singer/songwriter, Mary Chapin Carpenter (but had to stop listening after a few times)
Closer and Closer Apart Mary Chapin Carpenter
Tell me the truth Don't ask me to lie These are the things we say You don't need proof and I'm not going to try But I think we have lost our way
You don't own the sun and I can't raise the moon So now as the darkness falls Love is so hard won then over too soon And another cruel ending calls
All I can do is turn now to you Holding my hand to my heart All that I know is I'm watching us grow Closer and closer apart
Now all the king's horses and all the king's men Wait for their clarion call Pride hears its voices and fear wins again And there's nothing to break our fall
Over and over and over again The world only spins one way The past is a distant flicker by now And a lesson for another day
Now my sad little boat floats on out to sea And you're almost out of sight I will remember you Please don't forget me I whisper with all of my might
All I can do is turn now to you Holding my hand to my heart All that I know is I'm watching us grow All I can do is turn back to you And wave with one hand on my heart All that I know is it's so hard to go
Gardener
"My soul, be satisfied with flowers, With fruit, with weeds even; but gather them In the one garden you may call your own." Cyrano deBergerac
My current fave is "God is Great, Beer is Good, People are Crazy". It is the real title of a country song for those of you who don't listen to country. Going to make it my ringtone
I do to Gardener...I could use a couple of nights like this but am afraid if I let it out, there will be no stopping it...So no wine, no tears, no pity parties...Smile, head held high, shoulders back, confidence oozing though I still feel like a strong wind will break me
