throw your arms around me (Hunters and Collectors) - This is considered an alltime great aussie rock love ballad. People play it at their weddings and probably one is five consider it 'their song'. The funny part is..it's actually about a one night stand.  gotta love aussies.

 

 

ahhh those moments with dev .... uhm sharing music yes yes - thats what we do

 

Heres the first one from my lil stoner flowerchild file which we all know is vast and varied . One of the best songs to wake up to on a sunday morning-  enjoy! 

       

 

We were born before the wind
Also younger than the sun
Ere the bonnie boat was won as we sailed into the mystic
Hark, now hear the sailors cry
Smell the sea and feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic

And when that fog horn blows I will be coming home
And when the fog horn blows I want to hear it
I don't have to fear it

And I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And magnificently we will flow into the mystic

When that fog horn blows you know I will be coming home
And when that fog horn whistle blows I got to hear it
I don't have to fear it

And I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And together we will flow into the mystic
Come on girl...

Too late to stop now...

 

 

(all the youtube clips were covers and made me marginally  homicidal ... i'll find  a link where you can hopefully hear the song if you havent- i'll ask Node to hook us up and maybe He will have a better idea of where we can look for the 'old' stuff besides my or SW's playlists ...)

 

 

Just remember ... dev is the one that opened the flood gates!

 

Here is one from ' the whistlin down the wine aisle' file i sing in the mornings- wyatt loves it as well ... Enjoy!

 

 

Dont be shy by Cat Stevens

 

Don't be shy just let your feelings roll on by
Don't wear fear or nobody will know you're there
Just lift your head, and let your feelings out instead
And don't be shy, just let your feeling roll on by
On by

You know love is better than a song
Love is where all of us belong
So don't be shy just let your feelings roll on by
Don't wear fear or nobody will know you're there
You're there

Don't be shy just let your feelings roll on by
Don't wear fear or nobody will know you're there
Just lift your head, and let your feelings out instead
And don't be shy, just let your feeling roll on by
On by, on by, on by, on by

...and one last one from the 'Booty Shakin' file ....oh yeah!

 

 

 

 

in the spirit of groovin...here's a little something that always gets me boppin no matter where i hear it...

 

Not sure why i am choosing this song at the moment...part of me sees it as talking to myself for certain parts, and yet talking to a certain someone else too...either way...i like it!

 

 

 

Try

by Crystal Shawanda

 

You spun that web baby
You made that bed baby
You built that brick wall
That you're running into, oo-oo
You bare that cross baby
I pay the cost baby
Now you lose
It don't matter what you do
You can try to change me
You can say what you want
With you pretty little lies
You can beg
You can plead
But you won't get to me
This time
This time
But you can try
Use all the strength you got
Go on take your best shot
But it won't touch me
I know I won't feel a thing
You've left me no choice baby
Listen to my voice baby
I mean
What i mean
But you can try to change me
You can say what you want
With you pretty little lies
You can beg
You can plead
But you won't get to me
This time
This time
But you can try
Try
(Try)
Try
You can try to change me
You can say what you want
With you pretty little lies
You can beg
You can plead
But you won't get to me
This time
This time
But you can try
You can try
Yeah!
You spun that web baby
You made that bed baby
You can try
But you won't
Change my mind

ok...lol so i am a dork and a sap, and i know that...but the lyrics in this song always got me right in the middle of me, because it once was how i felt ...once a long time ago now it seems... 

 

 

Only Hope

by Mandy Moore

 

There's a song that's inside of my soul.
It's the one that I've tried to write over and over again
I'm awake in the infinite cold.
But you sing to me over and over and over again.

So, I lay my head back down.
And I lift my hands and pray
To be only yours, I pray, to be only yours
I know now you're my only hope.

Sing to me the song of the stars.
Of your galaxy dancing and laughing and laughing again.
When it feels like my dreams are so far
Sing to me of the plans that you have for me over again.

So I lay my head back down.
And I lift my hands and pray
To be only yours, I pray, to be only yours
I know now, you're my only hope.

I give you my destiny.
I'm giving you all of me.
I want your symphony, singing in all that I am
At the top of my lungs, I'm giving it back.

So I lay my head back down.
And I lift my hands and pray
To be only yours, I pray, to be only yours
I pray, to be only yours
I know now you're my only hope.

hmmmmm, hmmmmm, oooooh.

 

i find myself humming/singing/air-drumming along to this song in my head all the time...

 

 

 

The Way I Am

by Ingrid Michaelson

 

If you were falling, then I would catch you.

You need a light, I'll find a match.

 

Cuz I love the way you say good morning.

And you take me the way I am.

 

If you are chilly, here take my sweater.

Your head is aching, I'll make it better.

 

Cuz I love the way you call me baby.

And you take me the way I am.

 

I'd buy you Rogaine when you start losing all your hair.

Sew on patches to all you tear.

 

Cuz I love you more than I could ever promise.

And you take me the way I am.

You take me the way I am.

You take me the way I am.

These two are never off my playlist... they're the angry sing along until your throat hurts (or dogs begin to howl) songs....

 

 

Special Ones

by George

 

Isn't it funny how you never really screamed at my face,

but your anger so unspoken and unchannelled permeates my essence to the point where I

Don't want to see you hear you, be anywhere near you,

you probably think I'm threatened by you but your illusionary power doesn't threaten me

Actually I think it's kind of funny that you create an illusion that is a mirror,

I don't appreciate you and I know that that surprises you

I suppose you see that those who follow their heart always win,

those with integrity have won the match before it's begun

 

Chorus

So rather than being kicked around, I'm going to kick you to the curb

So rather than being pushed around, I'm going to push you away first

So rather than trying to protect you, I'm going to cover my bases first

So rather than trying to open my heart, I'm going to lock it with a key

So that only the special ones, so that only the special ones, can ever get through to me

 

Some can see beyond the barrier of threshold whereas others can't see beyond their sculptured mould,

you could offer me nothing, you could offer me nothing that I need

Do you think I'm asking too much?

A kind of respect and trust that shouldn't even be questioned,

how can I open my heart with dishonesty sitting next to me?

I've honoured your honour to the point of embarrassment,

but innocence in the hands of the guilt-free is kicked to, is kicked to the curb

I was ashamed of my innocence,

I was ashamed of my innocence but now with clarity I see that your bullshit is just not worthy of me

 

Chorus

I don't want to be angry....

This is not worthy of me and now with clarity I see that I can walk away, I can walk away

 

and here's the second...the lyrics show as the song plays...

 

 

 

 

 

Holy Water

by Big n Rich

 

Somewhere there's a stolen halo
I use to watch her wear it well
Everything would shine wherever she would go
But looking at her now you'd never tell

Someone ran away with her innocence
A memory she can't get out of her head
I can only imagine what she's feeling
When she's praying
Kneeling at the edge of her bed

And she says take me away
And take me farther
Surround me now
And hold, hold, hold me like holy water
Holy water

She wants someone to call her angel
Someone to put the light back in her eyes
She's looking through the faces
The unfamiliar places
She needs someone to hear her when she crys

And she says take me away
And take me farther
Surround me now
And hold, hold, hold me like holy water
Holy water

She just needs a little help
To wash away the pain she's felt
She wants to feel the healing hands
Of someone who understands

And she says take me away
And take me farther
Surround me now
And hold, hold, hold me
And she says take me away
And take me farther
Surround me now
And hold, hold, hold me like holy water
Holy water
