" If I had to lose a mile.

If I had to touch feelings.

I would lose my soul,

      the way I do.

I don't have to think.

I only have to do it.

are always perfect.

But that's old news."  -

Jewel - Foolish Games

 

You took your coat off and stood in the rain,
You're always crazy like that.
And I watched from my window,
Always felt I was outside looking in on you.
You're always the mysterious one with
Dark eyes and careless hair,
You were fashionably sensitive
But too cool to care.
...

You're always brilliant in the morning,
Smoking your cigarettes and talking over coffee.
Your philosophies on art, Baroque moved you.
You loved Mozart and you'd speak of your loved ones
As I clumsily strummed my guitar.
You'd teach me of honest things,
Things that were daring, things that were clean.

...

These foolish games are tearing me apart,
And your thoughtless words are breaking my heart.
You're breaking my heart.
You took your coat off,
Stood in the rain,
You're always crazy like that.

 

 

 

 

The next song might be my favorite song of all time.  It reminds me of my cousin.  I can only listen to it about once a month, it absolutely kills me.  I always cry no matter what.

 

 

Heather Nova - Walking Higher

 

I carry you with me,
A ghost inside
And in these shattered arms
You're still alive.
I carry you with me,
A holy shrine
And dogs and angels follow
Right behind.

The bones they buried
Will feed the trees
But every word you ever spoke
Is still in me.

 

I will feel for you in the music.
And I will send that river home.
And I will cry for you sometimes
When the night is down.
And I raise my head up to the mountains,
Talk to the birds and I fly
'cause the spirit lives on,
When the body dies
 

 

 

In my teens I listened to a lot of music with my cousin before he passed away, stuff from his generation.  Now whenever I hear any of those songs, it reminds me of him.  He exposed me to a lot of stuff I wouldn't know anything about if it wasn't for his tastes.  Of course, there is good music today, and good music that I would call my own but I think what makes music exceptional is that you heard it during a special time in a special place with a special person...

 

 

Concrete Blonde - Caroline

 

I hear you're driving Someone else's car now
She said you came and took your stuff away
All the poetry, and the trunk you kept your life in
I knew that it would come to that someday

Like a sad hallucination,
When I opened up my eyes,
The train had passed the station,
And you were trapped inside
Yet I never wonder where you went,
I only wonder why,

Well I hear you're using someone else's number;
She said she saw you in the store today.
It doesn't matter whose address you're listed under
I only know they'll never make you stay.

 

There's a dream I have where I sail away;
Looking back I wave at you,
And I wave goodbye...

In another life I see you
As an angel flying high,
And the hands of time will free you
You will cast your chains aside
And the dawn will come and kiss away
Every tear that's ever fallen
From your eyes
Behind those eyes,
I wonder

 

Like a memory in motion,
You were only passing through
That is all you've ever known of life,
That's all you'll ever do.

 

 

 

Ah shit.  God, I wish I wasn't such a crybaby.

Let my inspiration flow in token rhyme, suggesting rhythm,
That will not forsake you, till my tale is told and done.
While the firelights aglow, strange shadows from the flames will grow,
Till things weve never seen will seem familiar.

Shadows of a sailor, forming winds both foul and fair all swarm.
Down in carlisle, he loved a lady many years ago.
Here beside him stands a man, a soldier from the looks of him,
Who came through many fights, but lost at love.

While the story teller speaks, a door within the fire creaks;
Suddenly flies open, and a girl is standing there.
Eyes alight, with glowing hair, all that fancy paints as fair,
She takes her fan and throws it, in the lions den.

Which of you to gain me, tell, will risk uncertain pains of hell?
I will not forgive you if you will not take the chance.
The sailor gave at least a try, the soldier being much too wise,
Strategy was his strength, and not disaster.

The sailor, coming out again, the lady fairly leapt at him.
That's how it stands today. you decide if he was wise.
The story teller makes no choice. soon you will not hear his voice.
His job is to she'd light, and not to master.

Since the end is never told, we pay the teller off in gold,
In hopes he will return, but he cannot be bought or sold.

 Acid Bath - Bleed Me An Ocean Lyrics 

 

Let the blackness roll on
Ain't so cold tonight
Mother's cool reptilian womb
My fingers trace the exit wounds
by graveyard light
There's bone dust in my throat and everything is dead
but it's all right
Take it easy
You bleed so easy
Bleed me an ocean
Bleed me an ocean tonight
Bleed me an ocean
By electric graveyard light
Let me lie beneath the sky
Bleed me an ocean
Teach me how to die
As the blossom eats the butterfly
Can you feel the cold death
That rides along your spine
Let the blackness roll on
You bleed so easy
Let the blackness roll on
I was sexless in clouds again
I was chasing a cold, cold wind
I've become bored with flesh and bone again
The deepest alone
I was riding the turbulence
an ocean of Hades
it's all downhill from here
on the outer nowhere
Let the blackness roll on
Let the blackness roll on
You bleed so easy
I was stoned to the drone
of the blackness that hums
I've become bored with flesh and bone again
The endless hum of the highway drone
I was riding the turbulence
an ocean of Hades
The taste of dead sex on my tongue
Let the blackness roll on
On my tongue, yeah
You bleed so easy
let the blackness roll on
You bleed so easy
Just like a rain drop
I was born baby to fall
and scale these prison walls
It was over before you were born
Sucked into the vacuum of this universal tomb
It was over before you were born
Sucked into the vacuum of this universal tomb
Old blossom dies
Like a young man bleeds
The insects hum with their hunger and grieve
An icon of pale bone
Static white dream
Blind in the wilderness
Everybody scream
I couldn't find my way
Out the door
We all died
Woke up on the floor
yeah alright yeah
I ride the painted whore
She gives good universal scream, scream
I ride the painted whore
I ride the painted whore
She gives good universal scream, scream
She gives good universal scream, scream
She gives good universal scream, screamI ride the painted whore

Jeff Buckley - Lover, You Should've Come Over

 

[Direct Link]

 

Looking out the door
I see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners
Parading in a wake of sad relations
As their shoes fill up with water
Maybe I'm too young
To keep good love from going wrong
But tonight you're on my mind so
You'll never know

 

Broken down and hungry for your love
With no way to feed it
Where are you tonight?
Child, you know how much I need it.
Too young to hold on
And too old to just break free and run
Sometimes a man gets carried away,
When he feels like he should be having his fun
Much too blind to see the damage he's done
Sometimes a man must awake to find that, really,
He has no one

 

So I'll wait for you and I'll burn
Will I ever see your sweet return,
Or, will I ever learn?
Lover, you should've come over
'Cause it's not too late.

 

Lonely is the room the bed is made
The open window lets the rain in
Burning in the corner is the only one
Who dreams he had you with him
My body turns and yearns for a sleep
That won't ever come

 

It's never over,
My kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder
It's never over, all my riches for her smiles
When I slept so soft against her
It's never over,
All my blood for the sweetness of her laughter
It's never over,
She is the tear that hangs inside my soul forever
But maybe I'm just too young,
To keep good love from going wrong
Oh lover, you should've come over, yeah yeah yes

 

I feel too young to hold on
I'm much too old to break free and run
Too deaf, dumb, and blind
To see the damage I've done
Sweet lover, you should've come over
Oh, love I've waited for you
Lover, you should've come over
'Cause it's not too late

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lana Del Rey - Old Money

Blue hydrangea, cold cash divine
Cashmere, cologne and white sunshine
Red racing cars, sunset and vine
The kids were young and pretty
Where have you been?
Where did you go?
Those summer nights seem long ago
And so is the girl you used to call
The queen of New York City

 

But if you send for me, you know I'll come
And if you call for me, you know I'll run
I'll run to you, I'll run to you
I'll run, run, run
I'll come to you, I'll come to you
I'll come, come, come
Oh-oh oh, oh-oh oh

 

The power of youth is on my mind
Sunsets, small town, I'm out of time
Will you still love me when I shine
From words but not from beauty
My father's love was always strong
My mother's glamour lives on and on
Yet still inside, I felt alone
For reasons unknown to me

 

But if you send for me, you know I'll come
And if you call for me, you know I'll run
I'll run to you, I'll run to you
I'll run, run, run
I'll come to you, I'll come to you
I'll come, come, come
Oh-oh oh, oh-oh oh

 

And if you call I'll run, run, run
If you change your mind, I'll come, come, come
Oh-oh oh, ah-ah ah

 

Blue hydrangea, cold cash divine
Cashmere, cologne and hot sunshine
Red racing cars, sunset and vine
And we were young and pretty

 

 

 

 

 

 

Heather Nova - Walking Higher

 

[Direct Link]

 

I carry you with me

A ghost inside
And in these shattered arms
You're still alive
I carry you with me
A holy shrine
And dogs and angels follow
Right behind

Could I be walking higher
Could I be right beside her?

The bones they buried
Will feed the trees
But every word you ever spoke
Is still in me

Could I be walking higher
Could I be right beside her?

And I will feel for you in the music
And I will send that river home
And I will cry for you sometimes
When the night is down
And I raise my head up to the mountains
Talk to the birds and I fly
'Cause the spirit lives on
When the body dies

And could I be walking higher
Could I be right beside her?
Could I be walking higher
Could I be right beside her?

 

 

 

goosebumps and tears, every time.

Maybe - Thom Pace

 

Deep inside the forest
Is a door into another land
Here is our life and home
We are staying, here forever
In the beauty of this place all alone
We keep on hopi-in'

Maybe
There's a world where we don't have to run
And maybe
There's a time we'll call our own
Livin' free in harmony and majesty
Take me ho-ome
Take me home

Walkin' through the land
Where every living thing is beautiful
Why does it have to end
We are calling, oh so sadly
On the whispers of the wind
As we send a dying message

Maybe
There's a world where we don't have to are you-un
Maybe
There's a time we'll call our own
Livin' free in harmony and majesty
Take me ho-ome
Take me home

There's a world where we don't have to are you-un
Maybe
There's a time we'll call our own
Livin' free in harmony and majesty
Take me ho-ome
Take me home

Maybe there's a world where we don't have to are you-un
Maybe
There's a time we'll call our own
Livin' free in harmony and majesty
Take me ho-ome
Take me home (fade)
