One more after, to sum it all up - SotW [Week of 12-23-12]

During the holidays, and all the days in between, I am lucky to have people. To dance with, to be excited about, to miss, to choose, to walk with, and even to run toward. Every day I think, life starts now.

This rollercoaster - SotW [Week of 12-16-12]

So tired of predictability. Handled, never wanted. I go for those surprises, those eyes-openers, and jaw-droppers. Calendars make little sense to me, but I thought back on the whole year today.

Peter Bradley Adams The Longer I Run

When my blood runs warm with the warm red wine
I miss the life that I left behind
When I hear the sound of the blackbirds cry
I know I left in the nick of time

Well this road I'm on's gonna turn to sand
And leave me lost in a far off land
So let me ride the wind til I don't look back
Forget the life that I almost had

If I wonder til I die
May I know who's hand I'm in
If my home I'll never find
And let me live again

The longer I run
Then the less that I find
Sellin my soul for a nickel and dime
Breakin my heart to keep singing these rhymes
And losin again

The longer I run
Then the less that I find
Sellin my soul for a nickel and dime
Breakin my heart to keep singing these rhymes
And losin again

Tell my brother please not to look for me
I ain't the man that I used to be
But if my savior comes could you let him know
I've gone away for to save my soul

If I wonder til I die
May I know who's hand I'm in
If my home I'll never find
And let me live again

The longer I run
Then the less that I find
Sellin my soul for a nickel and dime
Breakin my heart to keep singing these rhymes
And losin again

The longer I run
Then the less that I find
Sellin my soul for a nickel and dime
Breakin my heart to keep singing these rhymes
And losin again

Losing again

The longer I run
I'm losing again
Losing again

Music to my mind.

Flavors of the week - SotW [Week of 12-9-12]

Them words mean more than I heard at first. I fall in love like I listen to a beat; makes me move, makes me remember, helps me forget.

The Roots The Seed

Knocked up 9 months ago
And what she gonna have she don't know
She want neo-soul, this hip-hop is old
She don't want no rock'n'roll
She want platinum or ice or gold
She want a whole lot of somethin' to fold
If you a obstacle she just drop ya cold
'cause one monkey don't stop the show
Little Mary is bad
In these streets she done ran
Ever since when the heat began
I told the girl look here
Calm down I'm gonna hold your hand
To enable you to keep the plan
'cause you is quick to learn
And we can make money to burn
If you allow me the latest game
I don't ask for much, but enough room to spread my wings
And the world gonna know my name

I don't ask, for much these days
And I don't bitch, and whine, if I don't get my way
I only wanna fertilize another behind my lover's back
I sit and watch it grow roots standin' where I'm at
Fertilize another behind my lover's back
And I'm keepin' my secrets mine

I push my seed in her bush for life
It's gonna work because I'm pushin' it right
If Mary dropped my baby girl tonight
I would name her Rock'N'Roll

Uh-huh
Cadillac needs space to roam
Where we heading for she don't know
We in the city where the pros shake rattle and roll
And I'm a gaddang rollin' stone
I don't beg I can hold my own
I don't break I can hold the chrome
And this weighin' a ton and I'm a son of a gun
My code name is The Only One and Black Thought is bad
These streets he done ran ever since when the game began
I never played the fool
Metter of fact I be keepin' it cool
Since money been changing hands
And I'm left to shine, but the legacy I leave behind
be the seed that'll keep the flame
I don't ask for much but enough room to spread these wings
And the world gonna know my name

I don't beg
From no rich man
And I don't scream, and kick, when his shit don't fall in my hands, man
'cause I know how to steal
Fertilize another against my lover's will
I lick the opposition cause she don't take no pill
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-no dear
You'll be keeping my legend alive

I push my seed in her bush for life
It's gonna work because I'm pushin' it right
If Mary dropped my baby girl tonight
I would name her Rock'N'Roll
Oh-ooh break it down, break it down, break down beat

I push my seed somewhere deep in her chest
I push it naked 'cause I've taken my test
Deliver it Mary, it don't matter the sex
I'm gonna name it rock and roll
I push my seed in her bush for life
It's gonna work because I'm pushin it right
If Mary drop my baby girl, tonight
I would name her Rock-N-Roll
I would name her Rock-N-Roll
I would name her Rock-N-Roll yeah
I would name it Rock-N-Roll

Bumpin'

Maybe grab a cuppa and a seat in the mopey chair- SotW [Week of 12-2-12]

I remember being next to you, and staring at the ceiling. I knew, and I know, that while you are with me we are already gone. All that was on my mind was how much I still have to learn. How much more he has, and how everything can be wished, and how some things are unconquerable.

Joshua Radin One Leap

What if I let myself fall
What if the stars don't agree
Would the world stop, or would it spin round without us
Would it spin around you without me
Well our heroes have all been traded in
Can't think of what they used to be
So we look round and pray for salvation
While they search for a light out at sea
So we take, one, leap, for the bottom
And I pray your hope's not forgotten
And it's to too much to say
I need you this way
But tomorrow, you're already, gone
And I can't move on
I talk to you
In my mind while I lie down,
I wish you could hear all the words you'd said without knowing
They've traveled the world in my ears
As I take, one, leap, for the bottom
And I pray that your hopes not forgotten
And it's too much too say
I need you this way
For tomorrow, you're already, gone
And I have to move on

And I've never known of a world where someone like me could fall down
To only be caught don't know, you turned on the light and
Now I can see
So I take one, leap, for the bottom
And I, know, that your hope's long forgotten
And it's too much to say
I need you this way
But tomorrow you're already gone

And I have to move on
