Dim Over Bright - SotW [Week of 11-14-10]

This song is so fitting in so many ways. For what I miss. From what I should and from what I should not. Even LOST.

SotW 11/14:

Wash Away (reprise)  Joe Purdy

I got troubles oh, but not today
Cause they're gonna wash away
They're gonna wash away

And I have sins Lord, but not today
Cause they're gonna wash away
They're gonna wash away

And I had friends oh, but not today
Cause they're done washed away
They're done washed away

And oh, I've been cryin'
And oh, I've been cryin'
And oh, no more cryin'
No, no more cryin' here

We get along Lord, but not today
Cause we gonna wash away
We gonna wash away

And I got troubles oh, but not today
Cause they gonna wash away
This old heart gonna take them away

Ports. Oh, and Land. - SotW [Week of 11-7-10]

Group of assumed to be 'friends' legit fighting in the street, bicycle mishap-crash into a lamppost, stretcher rolls out of hotel lobby. All in a block radius. Some places are just like that.

SotW 11/7:

The Way Fastball

They made up their minds
And they started packing
They left before the sun came up that day
An exit to eternal summer slacking
But where were they going
Without ever knowing the way?
They drank up the wine
And they got to talking
They now had more important things to say
And when the car broke down
They started walking
Where were they going without ever knowing the way?

Anyone could see
The road that they walk on is paved in gold
And it's always summer, they'll never get cold
They'll never get hungry
They'll never get old and gray
You can see their shadows
Wandering off somewhere
They won't make it home
But they really don't care
They wanted the highway
They're happy there today, today

The children woke up
And they couldn't find 'em
They Left before the sun came up that day
They just drove off
And left it all behind 'em
But where were they going without ever knowing the way?


Anyone could see
The road that they walk on is paved in gold
And it's always summer, they'll never get cold
They'll never get hungry
They'll never get old and gray
You can see their shadows
Wandering off somewhere
They won't make it home
But they really don't care
They wanted the highway
They're happy there today, today

Recovering - SotW [Week of 10-31-10]

Halloween used to be one of my favorite holidays. Suppose that was before I came to certain realizations about how people spend their time. Gotta learn to love it all; what cannot be changed.

SotW 10/31:

Today Joshua James

Another day it's all the same
Another way to make it sane.
And here we are another breed.
Another train to make it seem all ok.

In and out of all these towns.
Spins me round, it takes me down, takes me down.
Lyin here oh what to do.
Same ole stuff it's the same old tune, the same old tune

Give it up, give it out,
Give it in, or give it down.
But it's all the same,
Same old song, it's the same old thing
Cuz it waits, it waits on you.

Go to sleep, go to bed.
Lay it up, put down your head.
The day is o'er and the night has fallen
We'll do it all again, yeah we'll do it all again.

Give it up, give it out,
Give it in, or give it down.
Cause it's all the same,
Same old song, it's the same old thing
Cause it waits, it waits on you.

Metaphor - SotW [Week of 10-24-10]

Just as I know true friends after time apart, music follows suit.


SotW 10/24:

Messages Xavier Rudd

So now come sit down
Will you talk with me now
And let me see through your eyes
Where there is so much light
We are biding our time
For these myths to unwind
For these changes we will confront

So please be aware with every
Place that you herald
And look to your soul
For these things that you know
For the trees that we see
Cannot forever breathe
With the changes they will confront

You know some people they just won't understand
No, they just won't understand
These things
Thank you for your message but I don't understand
No they just won't understand
These things

And this sacred land
It has seen many hands
It has wealth and gold
Yet it is fragile and old
And now the greedy souls just don't care to know
Of the changes it will confront

So speak out loud
Of the things you are proud
And if you love this coast
Then keep it clean as it evolves
Because the way that it shines
May just dwindle with time
With the changes it will confront

You know some people they just won't understand
No, they just won't understand
These things
Thank you for your message but I don't understand
No they just won't understand
These things


You know some people they just won't understand
No, they just won't understand
These things
Thank you for your message but I don't understand
No they just won't understand
These things


I'll hold you up again,
hold you up again,
I'll hold you up again,
I'll hold you up again,
I'll hold you up again.

So hold nice and close
Once you get to your soul
So that when it is cold
You won't feel so alone
'Cause the roads that you take
May just crack and break
With the changes you will confront

With each gift that you share
You may heal and repair
With each choice you make
You may help someone's day
Well I know you are strong
May your journey be long
And now I wish you the best of luck
Well I know you are strong
May your journey be long
And now I wish you the best of luck.

You know some people they just won't understand
No, they just won't understand
These things
Thank you for your message but I don't understand
No they just won't understand
These things

Relief - SotW [Week of 10-17-10]

When a song is sung and it sounds like sunshine, it passes. When a song is said and it sounds almost better, it rises. Oh Charles, King Charles.

SotW 10/17:

Love Lust King Charles

Never let a woman go even when you know,
She can always be replaced.
She can always be replaced.
Oh, lust only grows like anger and revenge,
Or beauty comes and goes but love stays until the end.

Never let a woman go even when you know,

She can always be replaced.
She can always be replaced.
Oh, lust only grows like anger and revenge,

Or beauty comes and goes but love stays until the end.

I wrote you a song Mississippi Isabel,
I even sent you flowers when you felt ill,
You’ve the strength of the Greeks,
You are god’s masterpiece,
You are every triumph, every victory,
I believe in every breath you breathe.

And I always imagined you’d be by my side,
Whether I’m hiding in the city or tearing through the wild,
You’re only a yoke, a noose on my throat,
If your beauty is a fortress then my love will be the boat.
Oh, fall in love with her. Fall in love with you, I must.

I’ll consume every part of you to indulge my love lust.

Never let a woman go even when you know, 
She can always be replaced.
She can always be replaced.
Oh, lust only grows like anger and revenge 
Or beauty comes and goes but love stays until the end.

Never let a woman go even when you know...

Whether a flower in my hand or a gun in my hand,
I’d give it all up for your hand in my hand.
For the sun on my skin as the morning begins, 
I'd die in the dark just to feel your skin on my skin.

Never let a woman go even when you know...

Your soul.
Your love.
Your blood.
Treasure every beating heart that sets your soul on fire.
Love will set your soul on fire.

After that, Before this - SotW [Week of 10-10-10]

I think limbo is when you do not know what to sing next.

SotW 10/10:

Sing To The Mountain Elephant Revival

If the fires burn tonight
If the jugs of wine get drunk,
Let the truth be known tonight,
Don't go let yourself hide.


Go and sing to the mountain,
Go and sing to the moon,
Go and sing just about everything,
Cause everything has you.


Listen to the river,
Of your heart play like a drum,
Listen to the nightcalls,
Singing songs from all around.

Go and sing to the mountain,

Go and sing to the moon,

Go and sing to just about everything,

Cause everything has you.

Let your voice go.

Let it pierce through your soul

Let your voice go.

Let it pierce through your soul.

Let the fires burn tonight,

Let the jugs of wine get drunk,

Let the truth be known tonight,

Don't go let yourself hide.

Go and sing to the mountain,

Go and sing to the moon,

Go and sing to just about everything,

Cause everything has you.
