You Gotta Be…

Music is my world, as you read you will see that I gather a lot from the words written by others… sometimes they say it best and capture the essence in a way I could never do.

Ultimately this song is a song of hope, even in dark times we can rise, even when the clouds have covered the sky in its entirety and there looks to be no chance of sunlight pushing through… wait, hold on, look to it and you will see that the clouds do pass, the sunlight does shine again… you can not give up on life before it has even started, you can not give up your dreams before you have had a chance to realise them… don’t give up, try another day for you never know what the new day may bring…

Listen as your day unfolds,
challenge what the future holds
Try to keep your head up to the sky
Lovers they may cause you tears
Go ahead release your fears
Stand up and be counted,
don’t be shamed to cry
You gotta be..

You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold,
you gotta be wiser
You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough,
you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm,
you gotta stay together.
All I know, all I know
Love will save the day

Herald what your mother said
Read the books your father read
Try to solve the puzzles
in your own sweet time
Some may have more cash than you
Others take a different view
My oh my,hey hey hey

Time asks no questions, it goes on without you
Leaving you behind if you can’t stand the pace
The world keeps on spinning, can’t stop it if you tried to
The best part is danger staring you in the face

Remember Listen as your day unfolds,
challenge what the future holds
Try to keep your head up to the sky
Lovers they may cause you tears
Go ahead release your fears
my oh my,hey hey hey….

Got to be bold. Got to be bad
Got to be wise. Not ever sad
Got to be hard. Not too, too hard
All I know is, love will save the day

Times Like These

I am a one way motorway
I’m the one that drives away
Then follows you back home
I am a street light shining
I’m a wild light blinding bright
Burning off alone

It’s times like these you learn to live again
It’s times like these you give and give again
It’s times like these you learn to love again
It’s times like these time and time again

I am a new day rising
I’m a brand new sky
To hang the stars upon tonight
I am a little divided
Do I stay or run away
And leave it all behind?

It’s times like these you learn to live again
It’s times like these you give and give again
It’s times like these you learn to love again
It’s times like these time and time again

The most beautiful song in the world

During the time I lived in Saudi I came across a group called Elbosco whom I just fell in love with, their music is so angelic but this song in particular just fills me with peace.  As you read the lyrics you will see that it trancends all Gods, it is to one God, all of our God… an agnostic song that is beautiful and is pure Nirvana.  Here is the most beautiful song for me in the whole wise old world… needed to hear it now thanks to terrible dreams (nothing new) so I leave you now with a song called Nirvana… poetic :)

 

Et erunt signa in Sole, et Luna et stellis
et pressura gentium prae confusione sonitus maris.

Et erunt signa in Sole, et Luna et stellis
et pressura gentium prae confusione sonitus maris.

The word was in
in the beginning
in the beginning with God

And all the things
were made by him
and without him
wasn’t anything.

The word was in
in the beginning
in the beginning with Buddha.

And all the things
were made by him
and without him
wasn’t anything.

The Glory, Nirvana
Eternal, Nirvana
The Glory, Nirvana
Eternal, Nirvana

Running verse:
The Glory, Nirvana
Eternal, Nirvana
The Glory, Nirvana
Eternal, Nirvana
Et erunt signa in Sole, et Luna et stellis
et pressura gentium prae confusione sonitus maris.

The word was in
in the beginning
in the beginning with Alah.

And all the things
were made by him
and without him
wasn’t anything.

The Glory, Nirvana
Eternal, Nirvana
The Glory, Nirvana
Eternal, Nirvana

Running verse:
The Glory, Nirvana
Eternal, Nirvana
The Glory, Nirvana
Eternal, Nirvana
Et erunt signa in Sole, et Luna et stellis
et pressura gentium prae confusione sonitus maris.

Luke 21:25
Et erunt signa in sole et luna et stellis et in terris pressura gentium prae confusione sonitus maris et fluctuum
And there shall be signs in the sun and in the moon and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, by reason of the confusion of the roaring of the sea, and of the waves

Hey There Delilah

Here’s a song that I just can’t get out of my head! No emotional attachment just a brilliant catchy song… now I pass it on to your head lol

 

Hey There Delilah
Whats It Like In New York City?
Well I’m a thousand miles away
But girl tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Time Square cant shine as bright as You
I Swear Its True

Hey there Delilah
Don’t you worry about the distance
I’m right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice it’s my disguise
I’m by your side

Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
What you do to me

Hey there Delilah
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me girl
Someday I’ll pay the bills with this guitar
We’ll have it good
We’ll have the life we knew we would
My word is good

Hey there Delilah
I’ve got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I’d write it all
Even more in love with me you’d fall
We’d have it all

Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me

A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they’ve got planes and trains and cars
I’d walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
but we’ll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you’re to blame

Hey there Delilah
You be good and don’t you miss me
Two more years and you’ll be done with school
And I’ll be making history like I do
You’ll know it’s all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here’s to you
This one’s for you

Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
What you do to me

Lets get free

… hmmm my earphones are now filled with Sheryl Crow with thanks to amberfireinus for posting that fabulous song… now I shall drive everyone crazy (wait I see my mother’s feet tappin’! phew) Here is one of my favourites from her – there are so many perhaps I will post one from the gig I went to in Rio where she did a duet with James Taylor :)

Clapton!

Well, I went searching
For something I could believe
So I turned on the TV
I was fed hypocrisy
Leading me towards a sea of confusion

I heard a voice
Ringing like music in the air
Breaking hearts most everywhere
All the people in despair
Cry out for justice to be fair to every people

Saying let’s get free, let’s get free
Don’t just believe in what you hear
Don’t just believe in what you see
Let’s get free, let’s get free
You’ve gotta open up your mind
‘Cause truth is what you need
Oh, truth is what you need

All the love
Can prop you up and make you stand
Some are sinking in the sand
With all that silver in their hand
Take a message to that man
That wisdom is power

And tell me now
Do you have Allah on your side?
Or is it Jesus, or your pride?
Will it get you through the night?
Every man has to find something to believe in

Let’s get free, let’s get free
You gotta believe in what you feel
And feel what you believe
Let’s get free, let’s get free
You can open up your heart
‘Cause love is all you need
Oh, love is all you need

Before the dawn
Comes the darkest hour of night
You either walk into the light
Or you turn and close your eyes
And fade into a dreamless sleep and hide

Well every human
Is gonna laugh and sometimes cry
But every tear that fills your eyes
Falls with the weight of sacrifice
Forgiveness is the pain of disappointment

Let’s get free, let’s get free
Don’t just believe in what you hear
Don’t just believe in what you see
Let’s get free, let’s get free
Everything’s as it should be
So faith is all you need
Oh, peace is all you need
Oh, truth is all you need, yeah

What the world needs now is love, love, love
What the world needs now is love, love, love
What the world needs now is love, love, love
