Awesome songs, everyone.
This is the one that's been speaking to me most just lately. A little stalker-ish, I guess, but hey - we've all loved someone from a distance before, right? :P

I will possess your heart, by Death Cab for Cutie

How I wish you could see the potential, the potential of you and me
It's like a book elegantly bound, but in a language that you can't read - just yet
You gotta spend some time--love, you gotta spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find--love, I will possess your heart


There are days when outside your window, I see my reflection as I slowly pass
And I long for this mirrored perspective, when we'll be lovers, lovers at last
You gotta spend some time--love, you gotta spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find--love, I will possess your heart

I will possess your heart

You reject my advances and desperate pleas
I won't let you, let me down so easily, so easily

You gotta spend some time--love, you gotta spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find--love, I will possess your heart

I will possess your heart

Ooooohhhh - and for all the Joni Mitchell fans here... I'm llucky enough to be going to an exhibit of her paintings on Saturday after work.

I'll take pics (if its allowed?)

Love,
Terri

Wow, lucky you! I love what it says about the exhibit at that link. Go Joni!!!

Hey Every One.

May I join? Albeit late for the party?

As I read these....and flashed back to many moments in my life gone by....especially those by Pink Floyd ....I found my head humming with songs that inspire me when I feel tossed around by the waves of lifes' happenings.

May I share?

I had to LOL that they are all....at least today, by Kansas.

Kansas was big in my life at a pivotal time....I imagine that is why I can still pull them out of my heart at times...no matter what else is going on....I can hum them to myself and still know the lyrics after all these years....30 some odd
(yes ODD) years later.

Oh my.....30 years...... wow....where did the time go?????????

Questions of my childhood.

When the sun is in the mid sky,
he wears a golden crown.
And he soaks the world with sunshine
as he makes another round.
It's been a faster year than yesterday
all the things that I had planned.
And when I think I might be gaining
I'm in the sunshine once again.

Well I walk the road of life
among the strong among the weak.
And I ask them for the shortcut to the answers that I seek
But no one seems to understand
what is or what will be
Oh the questions of my childhood
weave a web of mystery.

Just a web of mystery.

Can you get me through these changes?
Well I sure don't know about life
but one things for sure
All I need is you babe
We'll find the golden key to unlock the door.

I don't want to face a world of disolution.
I've come to one conclusion
that I know you know is true.
In the game of silent searching
the cost of love is rising,
and I'm just now realizing I'd be better off with you.

It's a game that I've been living now
I need to know whats real.
Can you help me find the answers?
Can you tell the way I feel?
Will you stay with me forever?
Or just stay with me tonight?
And we can talk about tomorrow
if it all works out all right.

Yes...if it all works out all right.



Miracles out of nowhere

On a crystal morning
I can see the dewdrops falling
Down from gleaming heaven
I can hear the voices call
"When you coming home now son, the world is not for you?"

Tell me, whats your point of view?

Hey there, Mr. Madman
what you know that I don't know?
Tell me some crazy stories
let me know who runs the show
Glassy eyed and laughing
he turns and walks away
Tell me, what made you that way?

Here I am, just waiting for a sign
asking questions
learning all the time
It's always here
It's always there
It's just love
and miracles out of nowhere

Tell me now Dear Mother,
whats it like to be so old?
Children grown and leaving
seems the world is growing cold
And though your body's ailing you
your mind is just like new
Tell me where you're going to?

It's so simple
right before your eyes
If you'll only look through this disguise
It's always here
It's always there
It's just love
and miracles out of nowhere

I sang this song
maybe a thousand years ago
no one ever listens
I just play
and then I go
Off into the sunset
like the western heros do
tell me, what you gonna do?

Here I am, I'm sure to see a sign
All my life, I knew that it was mine
It's always here
It's always there
It's just love
and miracles out of nowhere.


The Wall

I'm woven in a fantasy
I can't believe the things I see
The path that I have chosen now has led me to a wall
and with each passing day
I feel a little more like something dear was lost
It rises now before me
a dark and silent barrier between
all I am
and all that I would ever want to be.
It's just a travesty
towering
marking off the boundaries my spirit
would erase

To pass beyond is what I seek
I fear that I may be too weak
and those of you
who see it though to glimpse the other side
The promised land is waiting
like a maiden that is soon to be bride
The moment is a masterpiece
the weight of indecision's in the air
standing there
the symbol and sum of all thats me
It's just a travesty
towering
blocking out the light and blinding me
I want to see!

Gold and diamonds cast a spell
it's not for me
I know it well
The treasures that I seek
are waiting on the other side
There's more than I can measure
in the treasure of the love that I can find
And though it's always been with me
I must tear down the wall
and let it be
All I am,
and all that I would ever want to be
in Harmony
Shining true
and smiling back at all who wait to cross.
there is no loss.



Kansas...from "Left Overture"

Thanks for letting me get these off my chest.

Dani

Nice lyrics, Dani! Nice to see you 'round.

Maria

Nice to be home.

One of the truly great song and dance extravaganzas of all time -- Consider Yourself.

Greetings, folks

Well, in keeping with the government policy, "hurry up and wait," I'm still watching the daily mail for my retroactive payment of disability benefits...

It's been 16 months already waiting for the appeal, so what's another 3-4 weeks?

<sigh>

In the meantime, I've taken to numerous listenings of one of my fave deadhead songs...

Enjoy! (The video is one of my faves, too)

Tara

Aww, Tara, godspeed on the money.

And meanwhile, I'm playing a pretty amaazing live version of Us and Them ... for me and you and Richard Wright, who's off to the great gig in the sky.

"Haven't you heard it's a battle of words,"
the poster-bearer cried,
"Listen, son," said the man with the gun,
"There's room for you inside."

Starting to feel like there are more of us old warriors of love over on the other side than there are here...

In any case, props to Pink Floyd's keyboard man. Thanks for the music.

Love, love, love,
Maria

What a fantastic listen, Maria, thanks for sharing.



The almighty Pink sustained me through many changes over the years.

Shine on, crazy diamond, shine on.

And here's another of my favourites, which often brings the daydream of punching most politicians in the jaw.



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpTXHhMa_YQ&feature=related

Would you believe I've never heard that one? Thanks, Tara. Continuing our political theme, here comes Neil! This song is missing it's third verse, sadly, but man, the dude can rock.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eWEfnhWbow

Maria

Can't resist adding this one more -- pretty much my theme song for living life day to day.

Neil Young's Walk On

Hear this:



CHOOSE WHAT YOU'RE WATCHING

The world continues to dissolve
It's sad how we just keep devolving
And the smaller it all goes
All the stranger it’s becoming

The way you're perceived is regal
On televisions by the people
You don't fool us; we think you're evil
And your methods are illegal

They control you with your fear
And they fill your eyes with greed
Then they're giving you impulses
To buy things that you don’t need

The way you're perceived is regal
On televisions by the people
You don't fool us; we know you're evil
And your methods are illegal

They choose what you're watching and you don't mind
They choose what you're watching 'cause they're so kind
They choose what you're watching and you don't mind
Dunno what you're watching and you don't mind

The way you're perceived is regal
On the televisions by the people
You don't fool us; we know you're evil
And your face should be illegal

I'm assuming Dhani Harrison wrote this. That's him with George Harrison's face and W's hair.

Greetings, all!

I recently picked up a compilation CD of one of my favourite bands, and thought I'd share a tune...

It's going back a few years, but given the state of reality TV and so-called "teen" dramas, I'd have to say this one still sticks.

(Unfortunately.)

"new day for you" by Basia

"Hello again, it's me
Your shoulder's where I sit
The half,nobody sees,of a silent partnership
I am here your help at hand

I'm never far away
A clear view from where I stand
I'll be there if you need me

I am your helping hand
My words
You've heard them all before
It's only for the sake of love

It's gonna be a new day for you
A new day for you
The stars have played their part
The past is gone and done
Have more faith in love
The best is yet to come..."

Reminds me that my loving guide is always with me.
Fill me with hope, cause no matter what, he is here with me

Hello Chahlie again.

Lovely to see all the faces here over time.
Hello Every One.


I loved this song the moment I heard it on the
radio recently. It really
speaks spirit in an intimate yet communal way.
Such a good message.
I thought that the story the animation tells in this video
is pretty amazing. Was pretty blown away
when I saw it. wow. Sign of the Times.

There’s a darkness upon me that’s flooded in light
In the fine print they tell me what’s wrong and what's right
And it comes in black and it comes in white
And I'm frightened by those who don’t see it

When nothing is old deserved or respected
And your life doesn’t change by the man that’s elected
If you’re loved by someone you’re never rejected
Decide what to be and go be it.

There was a dream
One day I could see it
Like a bird in a cage I broke in and demanded that somebody free it
And there was a kid, with a head full of doubt
So I’ll scream til I die and the last of those bad thoughts are finally out

There’s a darkness upon you that’s flooded in light
In the fine print they tell you what’s wrong and what's right
And it flies by day and it flies by night.

Hi Tara,

Here's hoping everything is O.K in your world sweetie, hope WE get to see you around the boards here soon, helping US to learn how to FLY.
