"Hello Goodbye"
The Beatles


You say yes, I say no
You say stop and I say go, go, go
Oh, no!!
You say goodbye and I say hello
Hello, hello
I don't know why you say goodbye
I say hello
Hello, hello
I don't know why you say goodbye
I say hello

I say high, you say low
You say why, and I say I don't know
Oh, no
You say goodbye and I say hello
Hello, hello
I don't know why you say goodbye
I say hello
Hello, hello
I don't know why you say goodbye
I say hello

Why, why, why, why, why, why
Do you say good bye
Goodbye, bye, bye, bye, bye

Oh, no
You say goodbye and I say hello
Hello, hello
I don't know why you say goodbye
I say hello
Hello, hello
I don't know why you say goodbye
I say hello
hello, hello
I don't know why you say goodbye I say hello
Hello

Hela, heba helloa
Hela, heba helloa

"If You Want To Sing Out"
Cat Stevens


Well
if you want to sing out
sing out.
And if you want to be free
be free.
'Cause there's a million things to be.
You know that there are.
And if you want to live high
live high.
And if you want to live low
live low.
'Cause there's a million ways to go.
You know that there are.

You can do what you want.
The opportunity's on.
And if you find a new way
you can do it today.
You can make it all true.
And you can make it undo
you see.
Ah
it's easy.
Ah
you only need to know.

Well
if you want to say yes
say yes.
And if you want to say no
say no.
Cause there's a million ways to go.
You know that there are.
And if you want to be me
be me.
And if you want to be you
be you.
Cause thee's a million things to do.
You know that there are.

______________________________________________________

just heard this extremely beautiful song in the car
by a few of my favorite artists
it's been quite awhile. what a lovely harmonic message i heard.

You Don't Have To Cry - Crosby Stills & Nash
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTgYVX9Si64

In the Morning when you rise
Do you think of me and how you left me crying
Are you thinking of telephones and managers
And where you got to be at noon
You are living a reality I left years ago
It quite nearly killed me
In the long run it will make you cry
Make you crazy and old before your time
And the difference between me and you
I won't argue right or wrong
But I have time to cry my baby
You don't have to cry
I said cry my baby you don't have to cry
I said cry my baby you don't have to cry...

We are young, heartache to heartache we stand
No promises, no demands
Love is a battlefield

We are strong, no one can tell us we're wrong
Searchin our hearts for so long, both of us knowing
Love is a battlefield

You're beggin me to go, you're makin me stay
Why do you hurt me so bad?
It would help me to know
Do I stand in your way, or am I the best thing youve had?
Believe me, believe me, I cant tell you why
But I'm trapped by your love, and Im chained to your side

We are young, heartache to heartache we stand
No promises, no demands
Love is a battlefield

We are strong, no one can tell us we're wrong
Searchin our hearts for so long, both of us knowing
Love is a battlefield

We're losing control
Will you turn me away or touch me deep inside?
And before this gets old, will it still feel the same?
There's no way this will die
But if we get much closer, I could lose control
And if your heart surrenders, you'll need me to hold

We are young, heartache to heartache we stand
No promises, no demands
Love is a battlefield

We are strong, no one can tell us we're wrong
Searchin our hearts for so long, both of us knowing
Love is a battlefield

We are young, heartache to heartache we stand
No promises, no demands
Love is a battlefield

We are strong, no one can tell us we're wrong
Searchin our hearts for so long, both of us knowing
Love is a battlefield

I'm a definite fan of Black Sabbath. I think all of their songs are great music. Not just the music but the lyrics contemplate the right stuff, I feel a mental connection with them, that I don't with most. It's like this for every line up, so Tony Iommi, the guitarist, must have some great influence over it, since he's the only one that's been in the band the whole time.

Sins of the Father - Black Sabbath, which at the time was Ronnie Dio, Terence Butler, Frank Iommi, Vincent Appice (some contribution for this song could possibly have come from Colin Flooks, aswell)

I am the crazy man
Who lives inside your head
But I think I'm breaking through the wall

You are the innocent
Convicted of the crime
No one was ever there
To catch you when you fall

I see the diamonds
But you only see the rock
I need to run
And you only crawl

It's time to open up
All the doors that you keep locked
Nobody gives without a take
Let's take it all

Chorus:
You've been twisted into pieces
By the hands of your emotions
How much longer are you gonna pay
For yesterday
Sins of the father

One more crucifixion
One more cross to bear
You're a hole in a photograph

Go on - lose it in the city
The city can feel no shame
See the world with electric eye

They call it mystery
But any fool could see
You thought he walked on the water

And if the pain was gone
And you were free to run away
And get out

Would you get out of there
Or do you really care
It's not safe or easy
And maybe when you're gone
You just won't belong at all

Chorus:
You're the only witness
To the murder of an angel
How much longer are you gonna pay
For yesterday
Sins of the father

It's just another crucifixion
One more cross to bear
Go on lose it in the city
Take a look at the world
You've got electric eyes

Also, I've heard "Damn, it feels good to be a gansta" And find it humourous, especially, when it says they "don't run for sh¡t" because they "can't run fast".

'i've been down'
flea

I tumble into space
Try to stop the fall
My body ripped and tore
I could have floated in space

Could have floated

I stumble 'round my home
I am on the outside
My legs and arms are lead
Feeling love from no one

Could have floated

My head weighs ninety pounds and I've been down
My friends are aliens and I've been down

Well now, I've got no wife
Cut a lizard's tail, it grows back to life
I killed some sleepless nights
My heart's torn to pieces

Could have floated

I am the funny guy
Yeah, I've been down
I am the big rock star
Yeah, I've been down

I'll never be the same 'cause I've been inside out
And I wanna be an animal and take care of my own

My head weighs ninety pounds and I've been down
My friends are aliens and I've been down

I know what it's like 'cause I've been down
Devil sneaks in and deals and I've been down

"To Defy The Laws Of Tradition"

What if Christmas didn't come this year
and no one paid for Christmas cheer?
Who would cry the biggest tear,
the child or the store?

Why do brides wear virgin white?
Most do not deserve that right.
But to choose a color of their delight
would surely bring on the frowns.

To defy the laws of tradition
is a crusade only of the brave.
To defy the laws of tradition
is a crusade only of the brave.

Suppose the taxman, he comes to town,
and you don't lay your money down.
Yet Mr. Jones he killed Mr. Brown the other day.
Well I wonder, who's gonna go to hell.

"Grease"
by barry gibb
sung by frankie valli


I solve my problems and I see the light
We gotta plug and think, we gotta feed it right

There ain't no danger we can go too far
We start believing now that we can be who we are

Grease is the word

They think our love is just a growing pain
Why don't they understand, It's just a crying shame

Their lips are lying only real is real
We start to find right now we gotta be what we feel

Grease is the word
Grease is the word,
is the word that you heard
It's got groove it's got meaning

Grease is the time,
is the place is the motion
Grease is the way we are feeling

We take the pressure and we throw away
Conventionality belongs to yesterday

There is a chance that we can make it so far
We start believing now that we can be who we are

Grease is the word
Grease is the word,
is the word that you heard
It's got groove it's got meaning

Grease is the time,
is the place is the motion
Grease is the way we are feeling

This is the life of illusion
Wrapped up in trouble
Laced with confusion
What we doing here?

We take the pressure and we throw away
Conventionality belongs to yesterday

There is a chance that we can make it so far
We start believing now that we can be who we are

Grease is the word
Grease is the word,
is the word that you heard
It's got groove it's got meaning

Grease is the time,
is the place is the motion
Grease is the way we are feeling

Grease is the word,
is the word that you heard
It's got groove it's got meaning

Grease is the time,
is the place is the motion
Grease is the way we are feeling

Grease is the word
Is the word
Is the word
Is the word
Is the word
Is the word
Is the word
Is the word
Is the word

When I see the winter turning into spring
It speaks to this heart of mine More than anything
Underneath a blanket of snow, cold and white,
Something is stirring in the still of the night.
And then the Sun comes up, slowly with the dawn
This is the kind of feeling that I hang my hope upon.
There is a love and beauty in all that I see
And no one, nobody is explaining You to me

Chorus:
And maybe my eyes can't see
But You are surrounding me
Here in the wind and rain
The things that I know
Tender and sweet
And strong as my need
I know the voice.
I know the touch,
Lover of my soul.


And when the evening comes, the sunlight faces to red
And time and time and time again I whisper in my head,
"Give me strength, give me faith to fully believe
that the Maker of this whole, wide world is a Father to me."

Repeat Chorus

(Amy Grant)

This is one of the songs that I felt was magical when I was a kid even though I had no real idea of what the lyrics were and no way to listen to it over and over. It just called to my soul and I felt like twirling whenever I heard it. I also clearly remember two places where I heard the song. Both were in nature.


The wind blows hard against this mountain side
Across the sea into my soul
It reaches into where I cannot hide
Setting my feet upon the road

My heart is old it holds my memories
My body burns a gem like flame
Somewhere between the soul and soft machine
Is where I find myself again

Kyrie Eleison
Down the road that I must travel
Kyrie Eleison
Through the darkness of the night
Kyrie Eleison
Where I'm going will you follow
Kyrie Eleison
On a highway in the light

When I was young I dreamed of growing old
Of what my life would mean to me
Would I have traveled down my chosen road
Or only wished that I could be

Yeah

Kyrie Eleison
Down the road that I must travel
Kyrie Eleison
Through the darkness of the night
Kyrie Eleison
Where I'm going will you follow
Kyrie Eleison
On a highway in the light

oh..oh..oh..
oh..oh..oh..
oh..oh..oh..
oh..oh..oh..

Kyrie Eleison
Down the road that I must travel
Kyrie Eleison
Through the darkness of the night
Kyrie Eleison
Where I'm going will you follow
Kyrie Eleison
On a highway in the light

Oh down the road that I must travel
Oh the darkness of the night
Oh I'm going will you follow
On a highway in the light

Kyrie
Mister Mister http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-VcUYaObNo

These guys also did the "Broken Wings" song. "Take these broken wings, and learn to fly again, learn to live your love so free (making it up as I go, don't know the words...) and you will hear, the voices sing, and open up your loving arms and let them in yeah yeah"

I never knew how awesome they were...

or I guess I did. :^)

Oh, a storm is threat'ning
My very life today
If I don't get some shelter
Oh yeah, I'm gonna fade away

War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away

Ooh, see the fire is sweepin'
Our very street today
Burns like a red coal carpet
Mad dog
lost its way

War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
War, children, it's just a shot away

Gimme, get me to shelter
Or I'm gonna fade away

War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away

"No More Workhorse Blues"
by Bonnie 'Prince' Billy
(aka Will Oldham)


Many lights up today
Many lights up this way

What is this road here,
Where have I come?

I am a rich man
I am a very rich man
I have good pants on
Stitched and stitched;
I am in stitches
I am laughing at you
I am in britches

I've written books for you
I held my own for you
Where is my tongue?

I am no more a workhorse
I am no more a workhorse
I am no more a workhorse
I am no more a workhorse

I am a racing horse
I am a grazing horse
I am your favorite horse

Your love is like a tidal wave
Spinnin' over my head
Drownin' me in your promises
Better left unsaid

You're the right kind of sinner to release my inner fantasies
The invincible winner, and you know that you were born to be
You're a heartbreaker, dreammaker,
Love-taker, don't you mess around with me
You're a heartbreaker, dreammaker,
Love-taker, don't you mess around, no no no

Your love has set my soul on fire
Burnin' outta control
You taught me the ways of desire
Now it's takin' its toll

You're the right kind of sinner to release my inner fantasies
The invincible winner, and you know that you were born to be
You're a heartbreaker, dreammaker,
Love-taker, don't you mess around with me
You're a heartbreaker, dreammaker,
Love-taker, don't you mess around, no no no

You're the right kind of sinner to release my inner fantasies

You're a heartbreaker, dreammaker,

You're a heartbreaker, dreammaker,

Without you, there's no change
My nights and days are gray
If I reached out and touched the rain
It just wouldn't feel the same

Without you, I'd be lost
I'd slip down from the top
I'd slide down so low
Girl you never, never know...

Without you, without you
A sailor lost at sea
Without you, woman, The world comes down on me

Without you in my life
I'd slowly wilt and die
But with you by my side
You're the reason I'm alive
But with you in my life
You're the reason I'm alive
But without you, without you...

Without you, my hope is small
Let me be me all along
Let the fires rage inside
Knowing someday I'd grow strong

Without you. Without you
A sailor lost at sea
Without you, woman
The world comes down on me

Without you in my life
I'd slowly wilt and die
But with you by my side
You're the reason I'm alive
But with you in my life
You're the reason I'm alive
But without you, without you...

I could face a mountain
But I could never climb alone
I could start another day
But how many, just don't know
You're the reason the sun shines down
And the nights, they don't grow cold
Only you that I'll hold when I'm young
Only you... as we grow old

Without you in my life
I'd slowly wilt and die
But with you by my side
You're the reason I'm alive
But with you in my life
You're the reason I'm alive
But without you, without you...

"When You're Smiling"
Frank Sinatra

When you're smiling
When you're smiling
The whole world smiles with you

When you're laughing
When you're laughing
The sun comes shining through

But when you're crying
You bring on the rain
So stop your sighing
Be happy again

Keep on smiling
Cause when you're smiling
The whole world smiles with you

When you're smiling
When you're smiling
The whole world smiles with you

When you're laughing
When you're laughing
That sun comes shining through

But when you're crying
You bring on the rain
So stop your sighing
Be happy again

Keep on smiling
Cause when you're smiling
The whole world smiles with you
