Dragonette: Let it go

We get a little faded, the colours go
Running out of all our clothes
And the flash don't light when the battery's low

When you could stamp a foot down through the floor
It's a better plan by far
To blow off the roof and let in the dark
So we better get started

And if I were you, I'd let go
And feel it all over inside like a chemical
'Cause to tell the truth, I don't know
If it's ever over

We don't need a cure for the weight of the world
'Cause it's floating 'round in the universe
Just swing it like it's tied by a string that you hold
And let it go!

We could dig a hole right down into
Somewhere as deep as black and blue
And fill it with the crowd and the sound of right now

And we could carve a tunnel under
And find out just how low it goes, it goes
Till we run out of dirt on the other side
And we see the light

But if I were you, I'd look up
And find a place there in the sky where there's room enough
To spread it out, and look upon
From where you land when you come down

We don't need a cure for the weight of the world
'Cause it's floating 'round in the universe
Just swing it like it's tied by a string that you hold
And let it go!

this one's dedicated to my first unrequited love. so, if you're out there, this one's for you ...

Barclay James Harvest - Paraiso Dos Cavalos (Paradise Of The Horses)

Met an old friend the other day
Recognized from a different age
Like a ghost in a photograph
Distant memories of the past

There was Nico and Limpopo
Ipaminandas and young Nero
All the old friends we've known so well
With all the stories they'll never tell

Paraiso dos Cavalos
Paraiso dos Cavalos

All it took was a photograph
To bring the memories chasing back
Of summer sunshine and cool green wine
And all the good times we'd left behind

We'd take the road down to Almansil
If I had known then we'd be there still
We left our hearts in the soft sea spray
With every Quinta Do Lago day

Paraiso dos Cavalos
Paraiso dos Cavalos
Paraiso dos Cavalos
Paraiso dos Cavalos

The wind in your hair
The sun in your face
The feeling of the power
The beauty and grace

Paraiso dos Cavalos

Through our minds move the souls of our bygone years
As we ride through their ancient tears
To a place to a time where we'll all be saved
To gallop on in the breaking waves

At Paraiso dos Cavalos
Paraiso dos Cavalos
Paraiso dos Cavalos
Paraiso dos Cavalos

... i simply don't listen to this one very often because the memories are too bitter sweet. my underline, BTW.

Fleetwood Mac - Go Your Own Way

Loving you
Isn't the right thing to do!
How can I
Ever change things that I feel?
If I could
Baby I'd give you my world!
How can I
When you won't take it from me?

You can go your own way!
... Go your own way
You can call it another lonely day!
... Another Lonely day
You can go your own way!
... Go your own way

Tell me why
Everything turned around?
Packing up
Shacking up's all you wanna do!
If I could
Baby I'd give you my world!
Open up
Everything's waiting for you!

You can go your own way!
... Go your own way
You can call it another lonely day!
... Another Lonely day
You can go your own way!
... Go your own way

You can go your own way!
... Go your own way
You can call it another lonely day!
... Another lonely day
You can go your own way!
... Go your own way
You can call it another lonely day!

You can go your own way!
You can call it another lonely day!
You can go your own way!

... not much point in underlining here, coz i'd have to underline every single word!!!

and just to be completely even handed, here's one for all you lovely ladies out there ...

CROSBY, STILLS & NASH - SOUTHERN CROSS

[Intro. (Acoustic Guitars)]
Oooh ...

Got out of town on a boat goin' to Southern islands
Sailing a reach before a followin' sea
She was makin' for the trades on the outside
And the downhill run to Papeete

Off the wind on this heading lie the Marquesas
We got eighty feet of the waterline nicely making way
In a noisy bar in Avalon I tried to call you
But on a midnight watch I realized why twice you ran away

Think about
Think about how many times I have fallen
Spirits are using me larger voices callin'
What Heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten

(Around the world) I have been around the world
(Lookin') Lookin' for that woman girl
(Who knows she knows) Who knows love can endure
And you know it will

When you see the Southern Cross for the first time
You understand now why you came this way
'Cause the truth you might be runnin' from is so small
But it's as big as the promise, the promise of a comin' day

So I'm sailing for tomorrow my dreams are a dyin'
And my love is an anchor tied to you tied with a silver chain
I have my ship and all her flags are a' flyin'
She is all that I have left and music is her name

Think about
Think about how many times I have fallen
Spirits are using me larger voices callin'
What Heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten

(I've been around the world) I have been around the world
(Lookin') Lookin' for that woman girl
Who knows love can endure
And you know it will, and you know it will yes

[Instrumental (Electric Guitars)]
Oooh ...

So we cheated and we lied and we tested
And we never failed to fail it was the easiest thing to do
You will survive being bested
Somebody fine will come along make me forget about loving you
At the southern cross

[Ending (Acoustic Guitars)]

... as ballads go, they don't get much better than this!!!

Nice songs

temptation is a terrible thing. so: forgive me father for i am about to sin - this one's for all those fully signed-up members of the 'church of scientific reason' ...

All About Eve - Touched By Jesus

Have you ever wondered much at all,
About your behaviour?
Or worried about the role you play,
Grey against the scenery?
Black cloud calls by,
Black cloud, blue sky.
Black birds, your words,
Too dark to fly.
When reason starts to fade and fall away,
I want to take a gun to you.

Ohhh ...,
Rain another day!
While we move as angels,
Gather up your blues and clear the way!

Ohhh ...,
Hate the games you play!
While we're touched by Jesus,
Gather up your blues and get out of the way!

Sand invades your shoes like a desert,
It's nothing to die about.
And our heels are high enough to crush the lizard,
Take 'em off and shake it out.

Sting in the tail,
Is destined to fail.
Our skin, takes in,
No poison.

"So the next time you're out stumbling,
Across my little piece of sky.
And we know we're in a state of grace,
And we know we're in a state of mind.
And we know we're part,
Of the state of art.
And all we really want to be,
Is free.

You've got to receive,
You've got to receive what the spirit says.
You've got to believe what the spirit says,
And she says ..."

Ohhh ...,
Rain another day!
While we move as angels,
Gather up your views and clear the way!

Ohhh ...,
Hate the games you play!
While we're touched by Jesus,
Gather up your blues and get out of the way!

... here endeth the first lesson!!!

but on a more serious note. IMO, All About Eve are consistently brilliant. and this is by no means their best track, which, again IMO, has to go to the hauntingly beautiful and poignant 'are you lonely?'.

I have too many songs/lyrics i love but here's one of them. It's from an anime named Wolf's Rain.


Heaven's Not Enough-Steve Conte

heaven's not enough
if when you get there..
just another blue
and heaven's not enough
you think you've found it
and it loses you

you've thought of all there is
but not enough
and it loses you in a cloud

"there" most everything is nothin'
that it seems
"where" you see the things you only wanna see

I'd fly away
to a higher plane
to say words I resist
to float away
to sigh
to breathe.... forget

and heaven's not enough
if when I'm there I don't remember you
and heaven does enough
you think you know it
and it uses you

I saw so many things
but like a dream
always losing me in a cloud

cause I couldn't cry
cause I turned away
couldn't see the score
didn't know the pain
of leaving yesterday really far behind
in another life
in another dream
by a different name
gave it all away
for a memory
and a quiet lie
and I felt the face
of a cold tonight
still don't know the score
but I know the pain
of leaving everything really far behind
and if I could cry
and if I could live what truth I did then take me there
heaven goodbye

Isn't it? It's very depressing though, so i try not to listen to it too much when i'm feeling down (like now)
Oh, and i also love Fleetwood Mac and Eagles!

I had forgotten about this song (that I'm about to post). It's not often that my mood is good enough for me to listen to it (not because it's "too sad" or "too happy" — it's neither — but because it's "too calm"), but I really like the song, and the lyrics are also great. Many times some of these verses come to my mind because of life events...

Kings of Convenience: Misread

if you wanna be my friend
and you want us to get along
please do not expect me to
wrap it up and keep it there
the observation i am doing could
easily be understood
as cynical demeanour
but one of us misread...
and what do you know
it happened again

a friend is not a means
you utilize to get somewhere
somehow i didn't notice
friendship is an end
what do you know
it happened again

how come no one told me
all throughout history
the loneliest people
were the ones who always spoke the truth
the ones who made a difference
by withstanding the indifference
i guess it's up to me now
should i take that risk or just smile?

what do you know
it happened again
what do you know
