Today this song it speaks to me.

Carry On ~ Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

One morning I woke up and I knew
You were really gone
A new day, a new way, I knew
I should see it along
Go your way, I'll go mine and
Carry on

The sky is clearing and the night
Has gone out
The sun, he come, the world
is all full of light
Rejoice, rejoice, we have no choice but
To carry on

The fortunes of fables are able
To sing the song
Now witness the quickness with which
We get along
To sing the blues you've got to live the tunes and
Carry on

Carry on
Love is coming
Love is coming to us all

Where are you going now my love?
Where will you be tomorrow?
Will you bring me happiness?
Will you bring me sorrow?
Oh, the questions of a thousand dreams
What you do and what you see
Lover can you talk to me?

Girl when I was on my own
Chasing you down
What was it made you run?
Trying your best just to get around.
The questions of a thousand dreams
What you do and what you see
Lover can you talk to me?

I know we have some fans of this one here. ;\)

Band on the Run
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pb4HSBAQ9ZY
Paul McCartney

Well, the rain exploded with a mighty crash as we fell into the sun,
And the first one said to the second one there I hope youre having fun.
Band on the run, band on the run.
And the jailer man and sailor sam were searching every one

For the band on the run, band on the run, band on the run, band on the run

Well, the undertaker drew a heavy sigh seeing no one else had come,
And a bell was ringing in the village square for the rabbits on the run.
Band on the run, band on the run.
And the jailer man and sailor sam, were searching every one

For the band on the run, band on the run, band on the run, band on the run

Well, the night was falling as the desert world began to settle down.
In the town theyre searching for us every where, but we never w ill be found.
Band on the run, band on the run

And the county judge, who held a grudge
Will search for evermore
For the band on the run, band on the run, band on the run, band on the run


Paul McCartney lyrics
Eleanor Rigby

It's the bass riff after these words that segue into a whole new "song" that gets me every time. And the intricate harmonies that blow my mind, being a music major I just am in awe of the time and effort they took to make that reality.

Band on the Run is a good one too \:D

This is me in song:

Crazy Old World – Moonpools & Caterpillars

Beauty pulled out before me
With hills so green and grass so sweet
Aspen tree alive in me...

Adored by all that's wrapped around me
Purple mountains I can see
Rich blue sky alive in me

Mother wind
Whisper to me
Tell me all I need to know
Warm my skin
Don’t let me worry
Give me strength
Don’t let me fall
I get tired
But it’s a crazy old world that I’ve been made a part of
So plant me like a seed and don’t let me toil

Quick and cold is the midnight
A darkness that is beautiful
Night’s passion gets the best of me
A million lights make up this city
Believe me, this is beautiful
This vision overwhelms me

Mother wind
Tell me strongly
Everything that I must know
I can’t wait until tomorrow
I’m bound to see it all
I get tired
But it’s a crazy old world that I’ve been made a part of
So plant me like a seed and don’t let me toil.

I’ve walked along this path of darkness
Stumbled maybe once or twice
But I still have got my sense of pride
Inspired by all that’s set before me
The sun lights up a world that’s mine
In a universe I can’t describe

Mother wind
Whisper to me
Everything I need to know
Warm my skin
Don’t let me worry
Give me strength
Don’t let me fall
I get tired
But it’s a crazy old world that I’ve been made a part of
So plant me like a seed and don’t let me toil

Mother wind
Tell me strongly
Everything that I must know
I can’t wait until tomorrow
I’m bound to see it all
I get tired
But it’s a crazy old world that I’ve been made
It’s a crazy old world that I’ve been made
(repeat)
that I’ve been made a part of…

Thanks lx

Lisa,

There is a song that had special meaning for me and gave me hope for the future after my 1st marriage ended. It always got me fired up and made me feel better. It may seem silly, but it helped me, so I thought it might help you.

Believe

(after love after love...)
No matter how hard I try
You keep pushing me aside
And I cant break trough
Theres no talking to you
Its so sad that youre leaving
It takes time to believe it
But after all said and done
Youre gonna be the lonely one, ooh

Do you believe in love after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really dont think youre strong enough, no
Do you believe in love after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really dont think youre strong enough, no

What am I supposed to do
Sit around and wait for you
Well I cant do that
And theres no turning back
I need time to move on
I need love to feel strong
cos Ive had time to think it trough
And maybe Im too good for you, ooh

Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really dont think youre strong enough, no
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really dont think youre strong enough, no

But I know that Ill get trough this
cos I know that I am strong
I dont need you anymore, I dont need you anymore
I dont need you anymore, no I dont need you anymore

Do you believe in love after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really dont think youre strong enough, no
Do you believe in love after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really dont think youre strong enough, no

Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really dont think youre strong enough, no
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really dont think youre strong enough, no

I don't know if Cher wrote it, but she sang it.

Kel,
I like that song!
I remember hearing it back in the thros
of things and feeling inspired by it.
It's helpful to be reminded of it now ~
recentered, reinspired.

That was so sweet and thoughtful of you.
Thank you! \:\)

cool songs, everyone.


This one has been speaking to me
much these days~



Real Love


The dawn in all its majesty
Is stealing me away
The dawn in all its honesty
Is turning me to clay
And through the bars of iron rage
Way beyond and back again
I hear the voice of Eden cry
Lift me up I'm walking on high

It's real love
Real love

This world in all its clarity
Is glorious, is fake
This world in all its vanity
Is more than I can take
And down the road the iron wheels
Chain my heart to how it feels
I hear the voice of Eden cry
Lift me up I'm walking on high

It's real love
Real love
Real love
Real love

And something in the heart of me
Is telling me it's time
To meet the eye of destiny
And leave it all behind

And through my bones an iron rage
Paints my soul upon the page

I hear the voice of Eden cry
Lift me up to walk on high
Make me wanna lay down and die
It's real love
Real love
Real love
Real love

The dawn in all its majesty
Is stealing me away


~ David Gray

More songs about love:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=kZjCGF57v4Q
All my little plans and schemes,
lost like some forgotten dreams.
Seems that all I really was doing
was waitin' for you.

Just like little girls and boys,
playing with their little toys.
Seems like all we really were doing
was waitin' for love.

lonely to be alone,
no need to be alone.

It's real love, it's real,
Yes it's real love, it's real.

From this moment on I know,
exactly where my life will go.
Seems that all I really was doing
was waitin' for love.

No need to be afraid,
no need to be afraid.

It's real love, it's real,
Yes it's real love, it's real.

Thought I'd been in love before,
but in my heart I wanted more.
Seems like all I really was doing
was waitin' for you.

lonely to be alone,
No need to be alone.

It's real love, yeah it's real,
It's real love, it's real,
Yes, it's real love, it's real,
It's real love, it's real,
Yes it's real love, it's real,
It's real love, it's real,
Yes it's real love, it's real,
It's real love, it's real,
Yes it's real love....

Across the Universe

http://youtube.com/watch?v=Rj-4t9drUlM
Words are flying out like
endless rain into a paper cup
They slither while they pass
They slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow waves of joy
are drifting thorough my open mind
Possessing and caressing me

Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world

Images of broken light which
dance before me like a million eyes
That call me on and on across the universe
Thoughts meander like a
restless wind inside a letter box
they tumble blindly as
they make their way across the universe

Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world

Sounds of laughter shades of life
are ringing through my open ears
exciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love which
shines around me like a million suns
It calls me on and on across the universe

Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Jai guru deva
Jai guru deva

Tonight:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=53Zs68W7K_w&feature=related
Dante's Prayer
by Loreena McKennitt

When the dark wood fell before me
And all the paths were overgrown
When the priests of pride say there is no other way
I tilled the sorrows of stone

I did not believe because I could not see
Though you came to me in the night
When the dawn seemed forever lost
You showed me your love in the light of the stars

Cast your eyes on the ocean
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seems endless
Please remember me

Then the mountain rose before me
By the deep well of desire
From the fountain of forgiveness
Beyond the ice and fire

Cast your eyes on the ocean
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seems endless
Please remember me

Though we share this humble path, alone
How fragile is the heart
Oh give these clay feet wings to fly
To touch the face of the stars

Breathe life into this feeble heart
Lift this mortal veil of fear
Take these crumbled hopes, etched with tears
We'll rise above these earthly cares

Cast your eyes on the ocean
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seems endless
Please remember me
Please remember me

Halo Ixciel \:\)

Well come to CE \:\)
It is a pleasure reading you.
Great Name BTW.

Songs are Words that sing to me, more than lyrics could ever say.
The fusion of both Museic and Words have always enraptured me to a safe haven of Understanding. A Place, like many Others hear,to find refuge in when the Whirled seems to spin too fast . Often, Songs play out as short films transpiring emotions mere Words cannot convey...placing me in the memory of my Life when I first heard it.



The one's You have listed, as well as Lady Blue Dove hear, have touched my Sole and reconnected me to the masses of Mindfull Mystes such as Your Self. \:\) We have All been hear before. \:\/

There are countless Songs that hold my Heart. As if they were writtne for mine ears only...knowing there are a vast Number of Soles who connect to the Whole.

One Being(among mostly All of his songs...)

The Cat Stevens himself...

Into THe Mystic....
We were born before the wind
Also younger than the sun
And the bonnie boat was won
That we sailed into the mystic

Hark, now hear the sailors cry
Smell the sea and feel the sky
Oh, let your soul and spirit fly, into the mystic

When that fog horn blows
You know I will be comin' home
When that fog horn blows
I want to hear it
I don't have to fear it

I want to rock your gypsy soul
Mama, just like way back in the days of old
And together we will float, into the mystic

Oh-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya

Whoa-oh-ooh
Whoa, whoa-ooh

When that fog horn blows
You know I will be comin' home
When that fog horn blows
I wanna hear it
Well, I don't have to fear it

I want to rock your gypsy soul
So like we're back in the days of old
And unanimously we will float
Into, into, into, into the mystic

Baby, baby, baby, baby

Oh, let your body go
Oh, let your mind go on

Ho!

Spoken:
I just wanna rock
Still wanna rock your soul, baby
I just wanna rock

Just wanna rock!
Your jellyroll soul

Said I wanna rock!
Jellyroll soul
Let your body go

Yeah, I wanna rock your soul, baby
I just wanna rock your soul, baby

\:\)


An Other One that moves me to tears every Time...is Donny Hathaway and his "Song for You"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmjULeODgqc

I've been so many places in my life and time.
I've sung a lot of songs, I've made some bad rhymes.
I've acted out my life in stages, with 10,000 people watching, but we're alone now and I'm singing this song to you.

I know your image of me is what I hope to be.
I treated you unkindly, but darling can't you see, there's no one more important to me baby can't you see through me 'cause we're alone now and I'm singing this song to you.
You taught me precious secrets of a true love.
Withholding nothing, you came out and fought when I was hiding. now I am so much better. And if my words don't come together, listen to the melody, 'cause my love is in there hiding.
I love you in a place where there is no space or time.
I love you for my life, you're a friend of mine.
And when my life is over, remember when we were together.
We were alone and I was singing this song to you.
I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for my life you're a friend of mine.
And when my life is over, remember when we were together.
We were alone and I was singing this song to you.
We were alone and I was singing this song to you.
We were alone and I was singing this song, singing this song to you.


Sigh.

Lucky Man ~ The verve

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyO6zDFFXcQ

Happiness
More or less
It's just a change in me
Something in my liberty
Oh, my, my
Happiness
Coming and going
I watch you look at me
Watch my fever growing
I know just where I am

But how many corners do I have to turn?
How many times do I have to learn
All the love I have is in my mind?

Well, I'm a lucky man
With fire in my hands

Happiness
Something in my own place
I'm standing naked
Smiling, I feel no disgrace
With who I am

Happiness
Coming and going
I watch you look at me
Watch my fever growing
I know just who I am

But how many corners do I have to turn?
How many times do I have to learn
All the love I have is in my mind?

I hope you understand
I hope you understand

Gotta love that'll never die

Happiness
More or less
It's just a change in me
Something in my liberty
Happiness
Coming and going
I watch you look at me
Watch my fever growing
I know
Oh, my, my
Oh, my, my
Oh, my, my
Oh, my, my

Gotta love that'll never die
Gotta love that'll never die
No, no
I'm a lucky man

It's just a change in me
Something in my liberty
It's just a change in me
Something in my liberty
It's just a change in me
Something in my liberty
Oh, my, my
Oh, my, my
It's just a change in me
Something in my liberty
Oh, my, my
Oh, my, my

I Hope You Dance - Lee Ann Womack

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIAWY4LLsEw

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat
But always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed
I hope you still feel small
When you stand by the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Living might mean taking chances
But they're worth taking
Lovin' might be a mistake
But it's worth making
Don't let some hell bent heart
Leave you bitter
When you come close to selling out
Reconsider
Give the heavens above
More than just a passing glance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
(Time is a real and constant motion always)
I hope you dance
(Rolling us along)
I hope you dance
(Tell me who)
I hope you dance
(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
(Where those years have gone)

I hope you still feel small
When you stand by the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
Dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance
(Time is a real and constant motion always)
I hope you dance
(Rolling us along)
I hope you dance
(Tell me who)
(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
I hope you dance
(Where those years have gone)

(Tell me who)
I hope you dance
(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
(Where those years have gone)

Halo Connie \:\)

Anything Van the Man sings pulls at my Heart Strings...but that one especially makes me pause for the moment and center mi Self. A small reMinder as to my purepose hear.

I love the song you posted hear as well...especially with the invocation of Children and the hopes and aspirations we have for them. (The kid inside my Self as well ;))
Dance like no one is watching and
post like no one is reading... \:\/


Another song that attaches me to that in no sense of my CHildhood is set to my phone ring tone...by ELO



A song that just inspires the hell out of me...
when EVERYTHING is not what it seems
when All hope may Be lost
when Life is NOT going our Way....

Sun is shinin' in the sky,
There ain't a cloud in sight
It's stopped rainin'
Everybody's in a play
And don't you know
It's a beautiful new day. Hey hey hey!

Runnin' down the avenue,(Pant, Pant, Pant)
See how the sun shines brightly
In the city on the streets
Where once was pity,
Mr. Blue Sky is living here today. hey hey hey!

CHORUS: REPEAT
Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why,
You had to hide away
For so long(so long) where did we go wrong.

Hey you with the pretty face,
Welcome to the human race
A celebration Mr. Blue Sky's
Up there waitin' and today
Is the day we've waited for

CHORUS
Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why,
You had to hide away
For so long where did we go wrong.

Hey there Mr. Blue
We're so pleased to be with you
Look around see what you do,
Everybody SMILES AT YOU. (x2)

MR BLUE SKY,
MR BLUE SKY,
MR BLUE SKY, FLY

CHORUS:REPEAT

Mr. Blue you did it right,
But soon comes Mr. Night,
Creepin' over, now his
Hand is on your shoulder,
Never mind I'll remember you this way.

CHORUS

Hey there Mr. Blue (sky)
We're so pleased to be with you (sky)
Look around see what you do,(blue)
Everybody SMILES AT YOU.

Greetings all, \:\)

Here's an all-time fave, from one of my fave bands. ;\)
The lyrics blow my mind, indeed, but the music is definitely worth a listen; the bridge brings a "lift" to my soul each and every time.

"Learning To Fly" - by Pink Floyd

Into the distance, a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses reeled
A fatal attraction is holding me fast
How can I escape this irresistible grasp?

Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earthbound misfit, I

Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything
No navigator to find my way home
Unladen, empty and turned to stone

A soul intention, that's learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earthbound misfit, I

Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night

There's no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, a state of bliss
Can't keep my mind from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earthbound misfit, I

Tara

"Living Life is Good "....and that's what that Museic is about...

that same Pulse that touches that Nerve
Raises the I brow
Bends the Ear

Belief
Memory in Sound.
Day Dreams

Day Dream...Believers \:\)

Was Life Ever THAT Simple though???
Wow.


NoneTheLess

The gentle ambiance
of the Mood
shines Forth
on this Spring Evening...
with a halo of Moon Shown
and a hint of breeze
All makin' me Feel Good
Send the Good Your Way
to In Joy.

(With a gentle touch with a favorite female vocal)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBy4QXAAil8

BEcause when You FEEL Good
You Are Good ;\)
And BEING Good
just FEELS Good.
Don't It?

(3rd song down)

~ If a fiddler played you a song, my love
And if I gave you a wheel
Would you spin for my heart and loneliness
Would you spin for my love
If I gave up all of my pride for you
And only loved you for now
Would you hide my fears and never say
Tomorrow I must go
Everywhere there's rain my love
Everywhere there's fear
If you tell me a lie I'll cry for you
Tell me of sin and I'll laugh
If you tell me of all the pain you've had
I'll never smile again
Everywhere there's rain my love
Everywhere there's fear
I can plainly see that our parts have changed
Our sands are shifting around
Need I beg to you for one more day
To find our lonely love
Everywhere there's rain my love
Everywhere there's fear ~

Halo AnEssene \:\)
I agree
I am glad You have broughten
Pink Floyd to the table...
Certainly a Band with it's own Realm
and Out Look
on Life.

A Chapter in the Library
of Musicology
Indeed.
A Space in Time in Every One's Mind
who heard it Once
while listening. ;\)

From every note to ever Word
When there is silence
the absurd can Be heard. \:\)

From the Wall to the Dark Side of the Moon...we are
"Tongue-tied and twisted just an earthbound misfit, I"



The Floyd Tune that catches me every Time
is the reason for the Music in Pink FLoyd....

Mother.

Crazy LoveVan Morrison

I can hear her heart beat for a thousand miles
And the heavens open every time she smiles
And when I come to her thats where I belong
Yet Im running to her like a rivers song

Chorus:
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love

Shes got a fine sense of humor when Im 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 Im 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 the Man could sing Danke Shaen and touch our Souls.
Love It ;\)
There's Something mournfully haunting about his Voice that comforts the savage beast in Us, each song holding it's Special Place in our hearts.

I feel that Way about a lot of Singers/Songwriters...
the Muses of the Masses minstraling their Way through Time...
captured for Ever like prose in the Ethers.

Giving Us the SoundTracks to our Lives...

Every Time I hear certain SOngs, I am transported the that specific TIme in my Life, when I either first heard IT, or a poignant Moment was happening simultaneously.
Quite like smell.
Only with Sound, you can both hear and Listen.
The Listening warrants powerful Memory.
And keeps us steadfast to reMEmbering ourselves to Our Selves.

I remember the day I left for college.
It was a particularly crisp Fall day.
The sky was BLUE.
The clouds pasted up like colorforms.
The trees kodachrome.
The smell of Nostalgia was in the Air.
I was packing my "things" full of wonder and excitement.
MElancholy about leaving my "room" for the last time.
Knowing how important this moment was.
On my desk, hidden under my portfolio
was a Hallmark Card and a CD, wrapped in bright Flora.
My mother has snuck in a tender Word without speaking to me.
Reading Words too hard to say ...I opened the Present.
"Tea for the Tillerman" lie in my hands.
A Guide to the Ride I was getting on to.
A Manual for the "Wild World" I was stepping into...
leaving the nest that was made easy for me all t hese years.
I had known the Cat since I was alive.
His Music filled my Hopes and Dreams with Fuel.
His Words like an absent grandfather, spoke to me
in Times of Lostness.

But this was Special.
This Present was a token.
A reMinder that this was a Rite of Passage
and my Life would never BE the same.
My journey was one I would share with and without
my parents.
From start to finish, I listened to the Music.
Every Word. Every nuance....
taking IT All in.
Armouring me with sheilds of Love,
broadening my sWord and view of the OnederFull
World I lived in.
I committed IT to memory.
Every Word. Every Note.
IT is, to this Day , ever present in me. \:\)
And shall remain.
And for that I am most thankfull
to the Cat Stevens.
And my Mother.

Ironically...hear is a Favorite.

I really meant to Post this Song....
One that All Ways catches me off guard and reMinds me...
I am NOT a Lone.

I'de Love to Change the Whirled.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUokMbJC3P8


[i]C'mon...sing along, You know the Words. \:\/

Everywhere is freaks and hairies
Dykes and fairies, tell me where is sanity
Tax the rich, feed the poor
Till there are no rich no more
I'd love to change the world
But I don't know what to do
So I'll leave it up to you


Population keeps on breeding
Nation bleeding, still more feeding economy (RIFF.)


Life is funny, skies are sunny
Bees make honey, who needs money, Monopoly (RIFF.)


*(CHORUS)


Oh yeah !


(GUITAR SOLO)


World pollution, there's no solution
Institution, electrocution
Just black and white, rich or poor
Them and us, stop the war


AMen to that. \:\)

Halo Musicologists \:\)

The day unfolded rather abrubtly today
One of those Daze where you find Your Self in One.
Each turned corner worse than the Other
Where Fun houses aren't so fun. \:\(

I am glad it is NightTime Now. \:\/


NoneTheLess


Music all ways reMinds me
that I 've had this Day before
and I am sure It will reTurn a Gain.
A Click on the radio brought me to my Mod Daze
of Poetic Youth
and Romantic Stirrings
when all that mattered was feeling something...
anything at All.

This song will All Ways hold it's Place in my Heart.
