Songs that speak to you

[Tearloch7]

 

If I ventured in the slipstream
Between the viaducts of your dream
Where immobile steel rims crack
And the ditch in the back roads stop
Could you find me?
Would you kiss-a my eyes?
To lay me down
In silence easy
To be born again
To be born again
From the far side of the ocean
If I put the wheels in motion
And I stand with my arms behind me
And I'm pushin' on the door
Could you find me?
Would you kiss-a my eyes?
To lay me down
In silence easy
To be born again
To be born again
There you go
Standin' with the look of avarice
Talkin' to Huddie Ledbetter
Showin' pictures on the wall
Whisperin' in the hall
And pointin' a finger at me
There you go, there you go
Standin' in the sun darlin'
With your arms behind you
And your eyes before
There you go
Takin' good care of your boy
Seein' that he's got clean clothes
Puttin' on his little red shoes
I see you know he's got clean clothes
A-puttin' on his little red shoes
A-pointin' a finger at me
And here I am
Standing in your sad arrest
Trying to do my very best
Lookin' straight at you
Comin' through, darlin'
Yeah, yeah, yeah
If I ventured in the slipstream
Between the viaducts of your dreams
Where immobile steel rims crack
And the ditch in the back roads stop
Could you find me
Would you kiss-a my eyes
Lay me down
In silence easy
To be born again
To be born again
To be born again
In another world
In another world
In another time
Got a home on high
Ain't nothing but a stranger in this world
I'm nothing but a stranger in this world
I got a home on high
In another land
So far away
So far away
Way up in the heaven
Way up in the heaven
Way up in the heaven
Way up in the heaven
In another time
In another place
In another time
In another place
Way up in the heaven
Way up in the heaven
We are goin' up to heaven
We are goin' to heaven
In another time
In another place
In another time
In another place
In another face

But there I was...

 

At the hall of the mountain top!

 

Naked to the World.

 

In front of every kind of girl...

[Twilight Sparkle]

summer 2015, with life catching up to me-- all the things that i've left behind found their way back to me. When I felt that my relationship with my SO, my friends and my family were falling apart, I was still trying to get through a **** time, because i understood the business, and if i made it to September, business starts to slow down and maybe I could have lasted longer than I did with my position at work, and i tried as hard as i could to balance work and life, but working 2 weeks straight you start to run out of excuses to justify these sacrifices. I started to lose face, and heading in to september, i had completely fallen apart

 

 

Lonesome tears, I can't cry them anymore
I can't think of what they're for

oh they ruin me every time
But I'll try to leave behind some days
These tears just can't erase

I don't need them anymore

 

also at the time, I was contesting with a long time friend who decided to send me a facebook message, telling me that he was "done with your ****. i'm finished with you" and this guy just didn't understand that i'm in a relationship and i can't hang out as much as i used to, and i also have other friends, and i'm working literally every single day. at the start of august, i let everyone know my work situation, and i'm not one to post about work stuff so it was alarming for my friends when they read that i've been working for nearly 2 weeks straight, and drinking every single day, then these little side dramas come up when i don't need them to.

 

 

I literally felt like the vancouver canucks. my life sucked and i was playing not to lose and just get to the next game. every day i was constantly playing for overtime to find a reason to call it something successful. That's all we can do in life; survive

 

I won't cry for yesterday

there's an ordinary world somehow I have to find

[Tearloch7]

 

Out adrift with all uncertainty
Stranded in the years that have betrayed you
And your dignity had gone
What to do but stand and shout against the wind
Shout against the wind

You have found a home in the centre of the circle
You have found a home where the harmonies can shine
And in the breathing of the turning leaves your heart is heard forever
You have found a home
You have found a home

Left for lost inside some other world
Fragments of your failures are your only friends
But time has moved along
What to do but stand and call it crystal clear
Call it crystal clear

You have found a home in the centre of the circle
You have found a home where the harmonies can shine
And in the breathing of the turning leaves your heart is heard forever
You have found a home
You have found a home

You have found a home in the centre of the circle
You have found a home where the harmonies can shine
And in the breathing of the turning leaves your heart is heard forever
You have found a home
You have found a home
You have found a home
You have found a home

[Angry Goose]

This is one of the songs that got me really into metal 
 

 

 

And when I felt like I was growing tired of metal for a few years, this album got me right back into it
 

 

[Tearloch7]

 

He walks he does not run
He has no overwhelming need to fly
His heart remains unbroken
no need to search the sky
But me I’ve found that place
I wander recklessly ..and

CHORUS
I know that she will find me
I know that she will find me
Even if I vanish without trace
O and though I’m running blindly
I know that she will find me
Hiding with the shadows that I chase

No-one can rock his boat or make standing
waves upon his sea
Everything is calm and even steady safe
as it can be
But me I’ve never found that place
I wander recklessly …but
CHORUS

Sometimes we search too deep
that’s when the darkness feeds our fear
We turn away from one another
just in case we get too near
Me I stand this mountain top
I shout so she can hear …and
CHORUS

 

[Tearloch7]

 

 

I was walking home from school, on a cold winter day
Took a shortcut through the woods, and I lost my way
It was getting late, and I was scared and alone
But then a kind old man, took my hand, and led me home
Mama couldn't see him, oh but he was standing there
And I knew in my heart, he was the answer to my prayers
 

Oh I believe there are, angels among us
Sent down to us, from somewhere up above
They come to you and me, in our darkest hours
To show us how to live, to teach us how to give
To guide us with the light of love

When life held troubled times, and had me down on my knees
There's always been someone, to come along, and comfort me
A kind word from a stranger, to lend a helping hand
A phone call from a friend, just to say, I understand
But ain't it kind of funny, at the dark end of the road
That someone lights the way, with just a single ray of hope

Oh I believe there are, angels among us
Sent down to us, from somewhere up above
They come to you and me, in our darkest hours
To show us how to live, to teach us how to give
To guide us with the light of love

They wear so many faces, show up in the strangest places
To grace us with their mercy, in our time of need

Oh I believe there are, angels among us
Sent down to us, from somewhere up above
They come to you and me, in our darkest hours
To show us how to live, to teach us how to give
To guide us with the light of love
To guide us with a light of love

 

 

Happy Valentines to Everyone ..  remember to Share Your Love with Yourself too ..

[Cerridwen]

 

 

I gotta turn you away so I can keep this hope alive
You're tapping on the window but I won't let you inside
Maybe you'll give up and find somebody else tonight
I draw the curtains, say a prayer, and turn out the light.

Sorrow get away from my door
Don't come around
Don't come around
Don't come around here
No more
I won't welcome you in
From now on you're a stranger
Not a friend

I used to let you crawl right in and make yourself at home
You'd burrow underneath my skin and wrap around my bones
But you've worn out your welcome so just walk on past this house
You ain't getting in here and I ain't coming out.

Sorrow get away from my door
Don't come around
Don't come around
Don't come around here
No more
I won't welcome you in
From now on you're a stranger
Not a friend

(I ain't going down again)
I'm finally feeling strong
(I ain't going down again)
But I ain't made of stone
(I ain't going down again)
Leave me alone
I ain't going down again

Sorrow get away from my door
Don't come around
Don't come around
Don't come around here
No more
I won't welcome you in
From now on you're a stranger
Not a friend

[Tearloch7]

 

Let us pause in life's pleasures and count its many tears,
While we all sup sorrow with the poor,
There's a song that will linger forever in our ears,
Oh hard times come again no more.

[Chorus]
Tis the song, the sigh of the weary,
Hard Times, hard times, come again no more
Many days you have lingered around my cabin door,
Oh hard times come again no more.

While we seek mirth and beauty and music light and gay,
There are frail forms fainting at the door,
Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say
Oh hard times come again no more.

[Chorus: x2

 

After Mavis covered this song, I considered it pretty much done ..   I wish Joe Cocker had done it.

[Twilight Sparkle]

 a close friend of mine who passed away 3 years ago, on the 10th,  this was her favourite song. this girl had a wild personality, but was very grounded at the same time-- one of those people you meet "once in a life time" and a someone so young who appreciated classic rock

Rush - Red Sector A (Probably the most realistic song you'll ever hear about life in a concentration camp.)

 

 

All that we can do is just survive
All that we can do to help ourselves is stay alive

Ragged lines of ragged grey
Skeletons, they shuffle away
Shouting guards and smoking guns
Will cut down the unlucky ones

I clutch the wire fence until my fingers bleed
A wound that will not heal
A heart that cannot feel
Hoping that the horror will recede
Hoping that tomorrow we'll all be freed

Sickness to insanity
Prayer to profanity
Days and weeks and months go by
Don't feel the hunger
Too weak to cry

I hear the sound of gunfire at the prison gate
Are the liberators here?
Do I hope or do I fear?
For my father and my brother, it's too late
But I must help my mother stand up straight

Are we the last ones left alive?
Are we the only human beings to survive?

 

Factoid - Geddy Lee's parents met during the war in a forced labor camp and later survived the Bergen-Belsen and Dachau concentration camps. Before being liberated and eventually settling in Canada.

I don't drink as much as I used to
'Cause lately that just ain't my style
And the hard times don't hurt like they ought'a
They pass quickly like when I was a child

And lately I've learnt how to listen
To a sound like the sun going down
In the magic that morning is bringing
There's a song for the life I have found

It keeps my feet on the ground

Now the midsummer days ain't so heady
They just drift like a breeze through my mind
And nothing appears in a hurry
As if to make up for some old long-lost time

And lately I've learnt how to listen
To a sound like the sun going down
In the magic that morning is bringing
There's a song for the friends I have found

They keep my feet on the ground...
They keep my feet on the ground...
They keep my feet on the ground

Black then white are all I see in my infancy.
red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.
lets me see.
As below, so above and beyond, I imagine
drawn beyond the lines of reason.
Push the envelope. Watch it bend.

Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.
Withering my intuition, missing opportunities and I must
Feed my will to feel my moment drawing way outside the lines.

Black then white are all I see in my infancy.
red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.
lets me see there is so much more
and beckons me to look through to these infinite possibilities.
As below, so above and beyond, I imagine
drawn outside the lines of reason.
Push the envelope. Watch it bend.

Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.
Withering my intuition leaving opportunities behind.

Feed my will to feel this moment urging me to cross the line.
Reaching out to embrace the random.
Reaching out to embrace whatever may come.

I embrace my desire to, I embrace my desire to
feel the rhythm, to feel connected
enough to step aside and weep like a widow
to feel inspired, to fathom the power,
to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain,
to swing on the spiral, to swing on the spiral,
to swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human.

With my feet upon the ground I lose myself
between the sounds and open wide to suck it in.
I feel it move across my skin.
I'm reaching up and reaching out.
I'm reaching for the random or whatever will bewilder me.
Whatever will bewilder me.
And following our will and wind we may just go where no one's been.
We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been.

Spiral out. Keep going...

[Tre Mac]

 

 

I've waited to say so long to the shame that owns you
The limits are bound, there's more to be found
Inside of you

Give it some time, the voices seem heavy, I know this
If you play by the hour
It's where you begin not where you will end

Today

And I feel like I am living
Where no one can find me
And I don't know how I've landed here

Sometimes I feel like those good things are behind me
Is the road supposed to get better than this?
And I'll find, yes I will find
Yes I will find, so long to the faith
Believe in yourself, no fantasy

Discovery blind, I hope you will find
The truth here...give it some time

Believing and knowing are two different things
Play by the silence
It's where you will end, not where you begin

Get up and open your eyes
Don't let yourself ever fall down
Get through it and learn how to fly
I know you will find a way

Today

It's the same damn dirty road
I will find a way

[Tearloch7]

 

 

May God bless and keep you always
May your wishes all come true
May you always do for others
And let others do for you
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young.

May you grow up to be righteous
May you grow up to be true
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you
May you always be courageous
Stand upright and be strong
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young.

May your hands always be busy
May your feet always be swift
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift
May your heart always be joyful
And may your song always be sung
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young

This road to the harbor is all that I know
I'm here at the crossroads, which way do I go?
I've been lost, sometimes found

Down this road, that's where I'm bound
With all of the others, we all travel alone

I'm just a pilgrim on the side of the road
Yes, Lord, I'm a pilgrim on the side of the road

This road to the harbor is paved with our tears
I've been out here walking for what seem like long years
I wonder, how can this be, that they all feel like me?
All of these others, though we travel alone

I'm just a pilgrim on the side of the road
Yeah, Lord, I'm a pilgrim on the side of the road

Please don't let me find that I've been left behind
Hope I will reach the end before dark night closes in

This road to the harbor out here under the sun
I'm tired, Lord, I am weary, my race halfway run
But I must, I will soldier on, even when hope is all gone
All of the others, we have to travel alone

I'm just a pilgrim on the side of the road
Yeah, Lord, I'm a pilgrim standing at the side of the road
Yeah, sometime I, sometime I, sometime I need help on my journey
I'm just a pilgrim on the side of the road

[Salmonberries]

Marie Provost did not look her best
The day the cops bust into her lonely nest
In the cheap hotel up on Hollywood West
July 29

She'd been lying there for two or three weeks
The neighbors said they never heard a squeak
While hungry eyes that could not speak
Said even little doggies have got to eat
　
She was a winner
That became the doggie's dinner
She never meant that much to me
Whoa, poor Marie
　
Marie Provost was a movie queen
Mysterious angel of the silent screen
And run like the wind the nation's young men steam
When Marie crossed the silent screen
 

Oh she came out west from New York
But when the talkies came Marie just couldn't cope
Her public said Marie take a walk
All the way back to New York
　
She was a winner
That became the doggie's dinner
She never meant that much to me
But now I see, poor Marie

Those Quaalude bombs didn't help her sleep
As her nights grew long and her days grew bleak
It's all downhill once you've passed your peak
Marie got ready for that last big sleep

The cops came in and they looked around
Throwing up everywhere over what they found
The handiwork of Marie's little dachs hound
That hungry little dachs hound
 

She was a winner
That became the doggie's dinner
She never meant that much to me
Whoa, poor Marie

Poor Marie
Poor Marie
Poor poor Marie
Poor Marie
Poor Marie
Poor Marie

[Tearloch7]

 

And we'll walk down the avenue again
And we'll sing all the songs from way back when
And we'll walk down the avenue again and the healing has begun

And we'll walk down the avenue in style
And we'll walk down the avenue and we'll smile
And we'll say baby ain't it all worthwhile when the healing has begun

I want you to put on your pretty summer dress
You can wear your Easter bonnet and all the rest
And I wanna make love to you yes, yes, yes when the healing has begun

When you hear the music ringin' in your soul
And you feel it in your heart and it grows and grows
And it comes from the backstreet rock & roll and the healing has begun
I want you to put on your pretty summer dress
You can wear your Easter bonnet and all the rest
And I wanna make love to you yes, yes, yes and the healing has begun

We're gonna make music underneath the stars
We're gonna play to the violin and the two guitars
We're gonna sit there and play for hours and hours when the healing has begun

[Spoken:] Wait a minute, listen, listen,
I didn't know you stayed up so late.
I just got home from a gig and I saw
you standing on the street.
Just let me move on up to this window-sill a lot yeah, I got some sherry.
You want a drop of port.
Let's move behind this door here.
Let's move on up behind this letter-box behind this door.
Let's go in your front room,
let's play this Muddy Waters record you got there,
if you just open up a little bit
and let me ease on in this backstreet jellyroll....

We're gonna stay out all night long
And then we're gonna go out and roam across the field
Baby you know how I feel when the healing has begun

When the healing, when the healing
We're gonna stay out all night long
We're gonna dance to the rock & roll
When the healing when the healing has begun
Baby just let me ease on a little bit, dig this backstreet jellyroll

[-DLC-]

Oddly enough, was just there (at this concert) to hear it live again a week ago. 

 

 

Hey alice
i'm caving in
i know it's not allowed
but sometimes i fantasize
i'm peeling off my skin
enough to fill it up again
hey rabbit
into the pavement
i'm caving in

mother told me to be something
so i'm afraid enough to stay wide awake

hey rabbit
i came to win
i know it's not allowed
but sometimes you might find
it feels like nothing is
and it's everything you've been
hey alice
into the pavement
i'm caving in

mother told me to be something
so i'm afraid enough to stay wide awake

this ain't real baby, i've got a better excuse for myself
i'm always here.
