A bit sappy I know but a beautiful song and one that resonates with me right now…

It Won’t Be This Way For Long ~ Darius Rucker

He didn't have to wake up
He'd been up all night
Lying there in bed and listening
To his newborn baby cry
He makes a pot of coffee
He splashes water on his face
His wife gives him a kiss and says,
"It's gonna be okay"

"It won't be like this for long
One day we'll look back laughing
At the week we brought her home
This phase is gonna fly by
So baby, just hold on
It won't be like this for long"

Four years later, 'bout 4:30
She's crawling in their bed
And when he drops her off at pre-school
She's clinging to his leg
The teacher peels her off of him
He says, "What can I do?"
She says, "Now, don't you worry
This'll only last a week or two"

"It won't be like this for long
One day soon you'll drop her off
And she won't even know you're gone
This phase is gonna fly by
If you can just hold on
It won't be like this for long"

Someday soon she'll be a teenager
And at times, he'll think she hates him
And he'll walk her down the aisle
And raise her veil,
But right now she's up and cryin'
And the truth is that he don't mind
As he kisses her goodnight
And she says her prayers

He lays down there beside her
Till her eyes are finally closed
And just watching her it breaks his heart
'Cause he already knows

It won't be like this for long
One day soon that little girl is gonna be
All grown up and gone
And this phase is gonna fly by
So he's trying to hold on
It won't be like this for long
It won't be like this for long
 
Just to remind you what I'm here for when I do return ;) and to ensure that I am not to be forgotten for good reason...

...I haven't lost nothing! :devil:


For Your Entertainment - Adam Lambert

So hot
Out the box
Can we pick up the pace?
Turn it up,
Heat it up
I need to be entertained
Push the limit
Are you with it?
Baby, don't be afraid
I'ma hurt 'ya real good, baby

Let's go
It's my show
Baby, do what I say
Don't trip off the glitz
That I'm gonna display
I told ya
I'ma hold ya down until you're amazed
Give it to ya 'til you're screaming my name

No escaping when I start
Once I'm in I own your heart
There's no way you'll ring the alarm
So hold on until it's over

Oh, do you know what you got into?
Can you handle what I'm 'bout to do?
'Cause it's about to get rough for you
I'm here for you entertainment

Oh, I bet you thought that I was soft and sweet
'Ya thought an angel swept you off ya feet
But I'm about to turn up the heat
I'm here for your entertainment

It's alright
You'll be fine
Baby, I'm in control
Take the pain
Take the pleasure
I'm the master of both
Close your eyes
Not your mind
Let me into your soul
I'ma work it 'til you're totally blown

No escaping when I start
Once I'm in I own your heart
There's no way you'll ring the alarm
So hold on until it's over

Oh, do you know what you got into?
Can you handle what I'm 'bout to do?
'Cause it's about to get rough for you
I'm here for you entertainment

Oh, I bet you thought that I was soft and sweet
'Ya thought an angel swept ya off your feet
Well I'm about to turn up the heat
I'm here for your entertainment

Oh oh... mmmm
Entertainment...
Oh oh... Oh entertainment...
I'm here for your entertainment...

Oooohhh...
Do you like what you see?
Wooooaaaahhhh...
Let me entertain 'ya tell you screeaaam

Oh, do you know what you got into?
Can you handle what I'm 'bout to do?
'Cause it's about to get rough for you
I'm here for you entertainment

Oh, I bet you thought that I was soft and sweet (bet ya thought)
'Ya thought an angel swept ya off your feet
Well I'm about to turn up the heat (turn up the heat)
I'm here for your entertainment

If time is a vessel, then learning to love
Might be my way back to sea
The flying, the medal, the turning above
These are just ways to be seen
We all get paid
Yeah some get faith before they die
But the stars we will navigate
Through the holes in your eyes

How many days will it take to land?
How many ways to reach abandon?
You and I

Oh, so swoon baby starry nights
May our bodies remain
You move with me, I'll treat you right, baby
May our bodies remain

There is love to be made
So just stay here for this while
Perhaps heart strings resuscitate
The fading sounds of your life

How many days will it take to land
How many ways to reach abandon?
Oh, you and I

So swoon baby starry nights
May our bodies remain
As weak we move, I'll feed you light, baby
May our bodies remain
Oh yeah in history, I'll treat you right, baby
I'm honest that way, hey
Swoon baby starry nights
May our bodies remain
 
Layla..Eric Clapton.

What'll you do when you get lonely
And nobody's waiting by your side?
You've been running and hiding much too long.
You know it's just your foolish pride.

Layla, you've got me on my knees.
Layla, I'm begging, darling please.
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.

I tried to give you consolation
When your old man had let you down.
Like a fool, I fell in love with you,
Turned my whole world upside down.

Chorus

Let's make the best of the situation
Before I finally go insane.
Please don't say we'll never find a way
And tell me all my love's in vain.

Chorus
 
I'm addicted to this band

Shinedown~Cry for help

You've been hiding out for quite a while now,
Living off of people you know.
Trying to raise a little money,
To pay off all the monkeys,
That you met inside the Rabbit hole.

You're taking candy from the white witch,
Smoking tea with Mama kin?
Well, there's a wolf outside a brick house screaming,
"This time I'm gonna blow it in?"

Because a mind is a weapon, you see,
And it's got you on your hands and knees.
Pull the trigger if you're gonna,
We all know that you wanna.
Count off 1,2 (1,2,3)


You better pray that there's another way out,
You better pray that someone's listening now.
'Cause when you lie like the devil himself,
No angel's gonna hear your cry for help!

I know you must really think it's funny,
You had everybody fooled in the end.
Well, that's a little unassuming,
Considering that you knew me,
I'm the only one that called you a friend

Because a mind is a weapon, you see,
But you're not gonna use it on me.
Pull the trigger if you're gonna,
We all know that you wanna.
Count off 1,2 (1,2,3)


You better pray that there's another way out,
You better pray that someone's listening now.
'Cause when you lie like the devil himself,
No angel's gonna hear your cry for help!

Count off 1,2 (1,2,3)

You better pray that there's another way out,
You better pray that someone's listening now.
'Cause when you lie like the devil himself
No angel's gonna hear your cry for help!

For help (x3)
 
Addicted to this song ATM, and am playing it while posting!

Come on over, turn me on Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan

Lyrics to Come On Over (Turn Me On) :
Like a thief
Crawling through the night
Like a drunk
Brawling in a fight
How she gonna know what is
Right from wrong

Come on over, turn me on

Sunday best
You're my favourite suit
You make the team
You're no substitute
I know baby I'm your
Favourite son, listen up babe

Come on over, turn me on

Is it any wonder
Is it any wonder
I lay awake all night
Is it any wonder
On a Sunday soon
I see the light

Tell me baby


Tell me pretty lies
See the spider
Been out catching flies
Will you leave me I know it
Won't be long before you

Come on over, turn me on

Is it any wonder
Is it any wonder
I lay awake all night
Is it any wonder
On a Sunday soon
I see the light

Like a blind man
Driving at the wheel
Like a hound dog
Scratching out a meal
You and I both know it
You belong

Come on over, turn me on
 
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star ~ Fredrika Stahl

Twinkle twinkle little star,
How I wonder what you are,
Up above world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky,

When the blazing sun is gone,
When he's nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
and Twinkle, twinkle, thought the night.

In the dark blue sky you keep,
And Through my curtains you often peep
For you never shut your eye,
Till the sun is in the sky

Then the traveler in the dark
Thanks you for your tiny spark;
He could not see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so.
don't I know not what you are,
twinkle twinkle little star

Twinkle twinkle little star,
How I wonder what you are,
Up above world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky,

Like a diamond x4
Show your little light,
and Twinkle, twinkle, thought the night.

Twinkle twinkle little star,
How I wonder what you are
 
Porcelain
Are you wasting away in your skin?
Are you missing the love of your kin?
Drifting and floating and fading away

Porcelain
Do you smell like a girl when you smile?
Can you bear not to share with your child?
Drifting and floating and fading away

Little lune
All day
Little lune

Porcelain
Do you carry the moon in your womb?
Someone said that you're fading too soon
Drifting and floating and fading away

Porcelain
Are you wasting away in your skin?
Are you missing the love of your kin?
Nodding and melting and fading away

Little lune
All day
Little lune

Porcelain by the Red Hot Chili Peppers
 
Something about littlewaif just screams elegance to me. It's nice to see her posting. That said she inspired me to post a bit of music that's kind of close to me. The contrast, I hope, is evident.

Brad Paisley - Mud On The Tires
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6nxHNrIwJA

I've got some big news
The bank finally came through
And I'm holdin' the keys to a brand new Chevrolet
Have you been outside it sure is a nice night
How about a little test drive
Down by the lake

There's a place I know about where the dirt road runs out
And we can try out the four-wheel drive
Come on now what do you say
Girl, I can hardly wait to get a little mud on the tires

'Cause it's a good night
To be out there soakin' up the moonlight
Stake out a little piece of shoreline
I've got the perfect place in mind
It's in the middle of nowhere only way to get there
You got to get a little mud on the tires

Moonlight on a duck blind
Catfish on a trot line
Sun sets about nine this time of year
We can throw a blanket down
Crickets singin' in the background
And more stars than you can count on a night this clear

I tell you what we need to do is grab a sleepin' bag or two
And build us a little campfire
And then with a little luck we might just get stuck
Let's get a little mud on the tires

'Cause it's a good night
To be out there soakin' up the moonlight
Stake out a little piece of shoreline
I've got the perfect place in mind
It's in the middle of nowhere only way to get there
You got to get a little mud on the tires

And then with a little luck we might just get stuck
Let's get a little mud on the tires

What'll you do when you get lonely
And nobody's waiting by your side?

Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.

Turned my whole world upside down.

Please don't say we'll never find a way
And tell me all my love's in vain.

Great choice Alana! One of my favourite songs of all time!! It will always get played when Im on a long journey on my own in the car!!
 
Vampire Weekend - "Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wHl9qRsMzw

This band has a quirky charm to them and I absolutely love the sharp wit in these lyrics. They stay upbeat and remind me very much of a young Paul Simon.

As a young girl
Louis Vuitton
With your mother
On a sandy lawn

As a sophomore
With Reggaeton
And the linens
You're sitting on

Is your bed made?
Is your sweater on?
Do you want to fuck
Like you know I do

But this feels so unnatural
Peter Gabriel too

Can you stay up
To see the dawn
In the colors
Of Bennetton?

Is your bed made
Is your sweater on
Do you want ta
Like you know I do

But this feels so unnatural
Peter Gabriel too

Is your bed made
Is your sweater on
Do you want to fight
Like you know I do
 
My song for the day...a cocky 'fuck you' to the world...

(a little out of character, I know...but this song and video clip puts me in a good mood)
XOXO
- Shy :rose:

I Don't Care - Fall out Boy
Say my name and his in the same breath
I dare you to say they taste the same
Let the leaves fall off in the summer
And let December glow feel flames

Brace myself and let go
Start it over again in Mexico
These friends, they don't love you
They just love the hotel suites, now

I don't care what you think as long as it's about me
The best of us can find happiness in misery
I don't care what you think as long as it's about me
The best of us can find happiness in misery

Take a chance, let your body get a tolerance
I'm not a chance but a heatwave in your pants
Pull a breath like another cigarette
Palms up, I'm trading 'em, trading 'em

I'm the oracle in my chest
Let the guitar scream like a fascist
Sweat it out, shut your mouth, free love on the streets
But in the alley it ain't that cheap, now

I don't care what you think as long as it's about me
The best of us can find happiness in misery
Said I don't care what you think as long as it's about me
The best of us can find happiness in misery

Said I don't care just what you think as long as it's about me
Said I don't care just what you think as long as it's about me

I said I don't care
(I don't care)
I said I don't care
(I don't care)
Said I don't care
(I don't care)
I don't care
(I don't care)
No, I don't

I don't care
(Said I don't care)
I said I don't care!!
(I don't care!)

I don't care what you think as long as it's about me
The best of us can find happiness in misery
I said I don't care what you think as long as it's about me
The best of us can find happiness in misery
 
Dominia - Behind the Universe

Ugly prisons of human lives
They call it the saviour, the curing fire
Still hiding the most secret desire
To rust in the kingdom of blasted skies
Hear the voices, the voices in your heart
It is sweet enslavement of soul's loss
Pray for me, for the world that is falling apart
For another dead creation with his arms across

Scream
Blind reptiles were born of your virgin daughters
I'll drag you through the magic way
Of endless tortures

Where are your one-day, yet exhausted gods?
They're like a joke, a joke, I swear
I am nowhere and I am everywhere
Drinking poison with milk of sluts
Pull the trigger, the final fireworks
It rises above in speeches of a perfect liar
The planet Earth through obscuring smoke
There will be a new world
Healing the blind by fire

Scream
Blind reptiles were born of your virgin daughters
I'll drag you through the magic way
Of endless tortures
In blood on infant lips
Towards unending bliss
I am the total madness force
From outer worlds, behind the universe
 
The Killers - All These Things That I Have Done

When there's nowhere else to run
is there room for one more sun?
One more sun.

If you can? Hold on.
If you can? Hold on.

Hold on.

-------------


I wanna stand up! I wanna let go!
You know, you know? - No, you don't, you don't...
I wanna shine on in the hearts of men.
I want a meaning from the back of my broken hand.

Another head ached, another heart breaked.
I am so much older than I can take.
And my affection, well it comes and goes...
I need direction to perfection, no no no no...

Help me out
Yeah, you know you got to help me out.
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the blackburner.
You know you got to help me out.

And when there's nowhere else to run
is there room for one more sun?
These changes ain't changing me,
the cold-hearted boy I used to be.

Yeah, you know you got to help me out.
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the blackburner.
You know you got to help me out.
You're gonna bring yourself down.

Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down

I got soul, but I'm not a soldier.
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier.

....

Yeah, you know you got to help me out.
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the blackburner.
You know you got to help me out.
You're gonna bring yourself down.
You're gonna bring yourself down.

Yeah, oh don't you put me on the blackburner.
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down.

Over and out, last call for sin.
While everyone's lost, the battle is won...

With all these things that I've done.

All these things that I've done...

And if you can? Hold on.
If you can...

hold on.
 
4 Non Blondes - What's Up

Twenty-five years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope for a destination
And I realized quickly when I knew I should
That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man
For whatever that means
And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed
Just to get it all out what's in my head
And I am feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning and I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream at the top of my lungs, what's going on ?

And I say, hey hey hey hey, I said hey, what's going on ?
Ooh, ooh ooh

And I try, oh my god do I try, I try all the time, in this institution
And I pray, oh my god do I pray
I pray every single day for a revolution
And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed
Just to get it all out what's in my head
And I am feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning and I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream at the top of my lungs, what's going on ?

And I say, hey hey hey hey, I said hey, what's going on ?
And I say, hey hey hey hey, I said hey, what's going on ?
And I say, hey hey hey hey, I said hey, what's going on ?
Ooh, ooh ooh

Twenty-five years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope for a destination.
 
This song always hits a soft spot inside me, it reminds me of a very special person.

Santana featuring Nickleback - Into the Night

Like a gift from the heavens, it was easy to tell
It was love from above that could save me from hell
She had fire in her soul it was easy to see
How the devil himself could be pulled out of me

There were drums in the air as she started to dance
Every soul in the room keeping time with their hands
And we sang

Ay, oh, ay, oh, ay, oh, ay
And the voices bang like the angels sing
We?re singing, ay, oh, ay, oh, ay, oh, ay
And we danced on into the night

Ay, oh, ay, ay, oh, ay, oh
And we danced on into the night

Like a piece to the puzzle that falls into place
You could tell how we felt from the look on our faces
We were spinning in circles with the moon in our eyes
The room left them moving between you and I

We forgot where we were and we lost track of time
And we sang to the wind as we danced through the night
And we sang

Ay, oh, ay, oh, ay, oh, ay
And the voices bang like the angels sing
We?re singing ay, oh, ay, oh, ay, oh, ay
And we danced on into the night

Ay, oh, ay, ay, oh, ay, oh
And we danced on into the night
Ay, oh, ay, ay, oh, ay, oh
And we danced on into the night

Like a gift from the heavens, it was easy to tell
It was love from above that could save me from hell
She had fire in her soul it was easy to see
How the devil himself could be pulled out of me

There were drums in the air as she started to dance
Every soul in the room keeping time with their hands
And we sang

Ay, oh, ay, oh, ay, oh, ay
And the voices bang like the angels sing
We?re singing ay, oh, ay, oh, ay, oh, ay
And we danced on into the night

Ay, oh, ay, oh, ay, oh, ay, oh
And the voices bang like the angels sing
We're singing ay, oh, ay, oh, ay, oh, ay
And we danced on into the night

Ay, oh, ay, oh, ay, oh, ay
Ay, oh, ay, oh, ay, oh, ay
Singing ay, oh, ay, oh, ay, oh, ay
And we danced on into the night

Damn it, I love Frank.

Witchcraft

Those fingers in my hair
That sly come-hither stare
That strips my conscience bare
It's witchcraft

And I've got no defense for it
The heat is too intense for it
What good would common sense for it do?

'cause it's witchcraft, wicked witchcraft
And although I know it's strictly taboo
When you arouse the need in me
My heart says "Yes, indeed" in me
"Proceed with what you're leadin' me to"

It's such an ancient pitch
But one I wouldn't switch
'cause there's no nicer witch than you
[instrumental]


'cause it's witchcraft, that crazy witchcraft
And although I know it's strictly taboo
When you arouse the need in me
My heart says "Yes, indeed" in me
"Proceed with what you're leadin' me to"

It's such an ancient pitch
But one I'd never switch
'cause there's no nicer witch than you
