I love that song, too, Zmom. If I changed the words just a bit, making it testimony to someone who DID follow that advice, it would fit my daughter to a T. Fearless. Follows her own muse, etc. I'll have to tell her that.

Thank you Zachsmom!

I think it is wonderful that you are learning how to "dance". It's funny that most little people instinctively seem to know how to do it and then somehow a lot of them lose the feeling as they grow up. I guess the best thing is to never lose that feeling, but the next best thing by far is being able to get it back!!!

I have been going through stuff today and found this CD



At the beginning

We were strangers, starting out on a journey
Never dreaming, what we壇 have to go through
Now here we are, I知 suddenly standing
At the beginning with you

No one told me I was going to find you
Unexpected, what you did to my heart
When I lost hope, you were there to remind me
This is the start

And life is a road that I wanna keep going
Love is a river, I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road, now and forever, wonderful journey
I値l be there when the world stops turning
I値l be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

We were strangers on a crazy adventure
Never dreaming, how our dreams would come true
Now here we stand, unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you

And life is a road that I wanna keep going
Love is a river, I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road, now and forever, wonderful journey
I値l be there when the world stops turning
I値l be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

Knew there was somebody, somewhere
A new love in the dark
Now I know my dream will live on
I致e been waiting so long
Nothing痴 gonna tear us apart

And life is a road that I wanna keep going
Love is a river, I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road, now and forever, wonderful journey
I値l be there when the world stops turning
I値l be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

Yeah

Life is a road that I wanna keep going on
Love is a river, I wanna keep going

Starting out on a journey

Life is a road that I wanna keep going
Love is a river, I wanna keep flowing
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

I especially like this verse

And life is a road that I wanna keep going
Love is a river, I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road, now and forever, wonderful journey
I値l be there when the world stops turning
I値l be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

Livin on love
Buying on time
Without somebody
Nothin ain't worth a dime...

Something like that. Good C&W love song, heard it the other day, struck a chord with me.

I was recapping last weeks episode of Everwood which made me melancholy .. it was such a good episode and there is only one two hour ep and then the series ends even though it is so much better than so many shows.. and the whole ep is a tribute to a beloved character who died and connects to all the major characters.

And they used Eva Cassidy singing Fields of Gold (at least I think it ie Eva's version) and THAT always gets to me as well. it also brings back watching Michelle Kwan skate exhibition to that song, in victory and in defeat..

<tears>


link to song
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Among the fields of barley
You'll can tell the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in fields of gold

So she took her love
For to gaze awhile
Among the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold

Will you stay with me, will you be my love
Among the fields of barley
And you can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walk in fields of gold

I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold

I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold

Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
As you lay in fields of gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Among the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold

song "Fields Of Gold" by Eva Cassidy

I've heard of Eva. I'll have to check her out.

Melancholy? Yes.

I'm resigned to living alone. But all I love are love songs. Are there any songs that sing about living alone is great, you can watch whatever you want on tv, stretch out on the bed, not dust, eat whatever you want, do whatever you want, by yourself?

Country & Western is a part of Country music, but not all Country songs are Country & Western. The majority of Alan Jackson's song, including Livin' On Love, are not considered Country & Western.

Terri Clark's ""Better Things To Do" is about not crying over a break up, but was my anthem when it first came out about not having a special person in my life, because I "had better things to do".

Don't tell me the reason that you're calling
Is to see if I'm all right since you've been gone
'Cause I know you and I know why we're talking
You're wanting me to say I'm barely hanging on
Well, maybe that was true for a night or two
But now, I got better things to do

I could wash my car in the rain
Change my new guitar strings
Mow the yard just the same as I did yesterday
I don't need to waste my time crying over you
I got better things to do

Maybe when I don't have so much going
Or quite so many irons in the fire
I'll take the time to miss you like you're hoping
But now, I can't put forth the effort it requires
Well, I'd love to talk to you, but then, I'd miss Donahue
That's right, I got better things to do

Thanks for the info, Rascan.

I'll just call it country from here on out.

Who does this song: "I Hate Everything". I like it. Taped it off the radio some time back. It's all about two guys in a bar, one crying in his beer, saying he hates his job, hates his life, if it wasn't for his two kids he'd hate his ex-wife...

He's alone and miserable in his one bedroom apartment that's more like a jail.

The other guys listens, buys the forlorn fellow his drinks, then calls up his gf to patch things up because he doesn't wanna end up being a loser like dude.

Good song. I can relate to it. I was there. And stupidly I called up, patched things up, and wasted 9 years of my life, fighting...

Newman --

Living on love, buying on time
without somebody nothin' ain't worth a dime
it's like an old fashioned story book rhyme
livin' on love.
It sounds simple, that's what you're thinkin
but love can walk through fire without blinking.
It doesn't take much, if you've got enough
livin' on love.




Misguided Angel -- Cowboy Junkies
I said, Mama, he's crazy and he scares me
but I want him by my side.
Though he's wild, and he's bad, and sometimes just plain mad
I need him to keep me satisfied.
I said, Papa, don't cry, cause it's alright
and I see you in some of his ways.
Though he might not give me the life that you wanted
I'll love him the rest of my days.

Misguided Angel, hanging over me.
Heart like a Gabriel, pure and white as ivory
Soul like a Lucifer, black and cold like a piece of lead
Misguided Angel, love you til I'm dead.

I said, Brother, he speaks to me with passion
And you said never settle for anything less
Well, it's in the way he walks, it's in the way he talks
his smile, his anger, and his kisses.
I said, Sister, don't you understand?
He's all I ever wanted in a man.
I'm tired of sittin' round the TV every night
hoping of finding my Mr. Right.

Misguided Angel, hanging over me.
Heart like a Gabriel, pure and white as ivory
Soul like a Lucifer, black and cold like a piece of lead
Misguided Angel, love you til I'm dead.

He says, Baby, don't listen to what they say
there comes a time when you have to break away
He says, Baby, there are things we all cling to all our lives
It's time to let them go and become my wife.

This song always stops me in my tracks:

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


And somehow I've learned how to listen
For a sound like the sun going down
And the magic the morning is bringing
There's a song for the life I have found
It keeps my feet on the ground

And the midsummer days sit so heavy
But don't they flow like the breeze through your mind
When nothing appears in a hurry
To make up for someone's lost time

And somehow I've learned how to listen
For a sound like the sun going down
And the magic the morning is bringing
There's a song for the life I have found
It keeps my feet on the ground

And somehow I've learned how to listen
For a sound like the breeze dying down
And the magic the morning is bringing
There's a song for the friend I have found
She keeps my feet on the ground
She keeps my feet on the ground...

This is one I used to hear on the radio all the time -- musta been about ten years ago. I remember pushing for it to be played at my grad and no one would bite. For the life of me I can't find the song title or who signs it. Any good googlers out there?

Riding along on a big yellow schoolbus
Elmer's glue and a brand new lunchbox
Writing my name for the very first time
with a pencil that was bigger than me.
Skipping rope and skipping school
doing things that grown ups do
life goes by like that big ol' bus
if you miss it, it's history...


And the chorus is something along the lines of, "This is the stuff, yeah, this is the stuff, life is made of...".

I'd love to be able to find this song. It's a female vocalist, if it helps.

PS: Isn't Hallelujah Leonard Cohen?

Caroln Arends is the artist; the name is "This is the Stuff" the category is Christian Song
I am sure is you did a search for her music you could find a place to buy/download it.

If you have a membership to real one you can down load her song (from the music store) If you have Real One Plus you can it for free with your "music credits"


Riding along on a big yellow school bus
Elmer's glue and a brand new lunch box
Writing my name for the very first time
With a pencil that was bigger than me
From jumping rope and skipping school
To doing things that grown-ups do
Life goes by like, that big old bus
If you miss it, it's history

Paper dolls and paper weights
Scraped up knees and hearts that break
Dreams to dream and plans to make
Love to give and love to take


Chorus
This is the stuff
The smallest moments
This is the stuff
I need to notice
This is the stuff life is made of


Walking along as my life unravels
Looking back at the road I've travelled
All the things that matter most
Have caught me by surprise
Misty eyes and silent prayers
Promises and secrets shared
Friends that keep you up all night
Laughing till you cry


Life's made up of little things
Ties that bind and apron strings
New beginnings, old routines
Love and heartache in between


Repeat Chorus

Cruzlvr -- huge hugs to you!!

I've been scratching my head for years, trying a lyrics search every now and then to find this song. It's such a catchy song, and the spirit of the lyrics are wonderful. Did you know this tune, or are you a fantastic googler?

I was posting from work earlier this afternoon and didn't have the time to expand on my posts above. Newman -- thank you so much for this thread. I just noticed it for the first time today. I love song lyrics (*cough*prosejunkie*cough*), and like someone mentioned upthread, it drives me crazy when people love a fantastic song but don't know the words or the meaning behind it.

Some of my favourite quotes have come from songs...

...and but for the sky, there are no fences facing...

...You've got so much to say, say what you mean, mean what you're thinking, but think anything...

...They say there's a heaven for those who will wait
some say it's better but I say it ain't
I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints
The sinners are much more fun...

...Love comes uninvited, and leaves when it wants to
it calls you at midnight and ties up your line...

...I get high with a little help from my friends...


OK, I added one of those in jest. No one ever calls me at midnight, LOL.

Ok

My favorite song lines are:

....She wonders how it ever got this crazy. She thinks about a boy she new in school. Did she get tired or did she just get lazy. She's so far gone she feels just like a fool.


...Maybe you'll be sorry
Maybe you'll be cold
Maybe you'll come runnin' back, baby
From the cruel cruel world
Almost convince me
You're gonna stick around
But everybody knows
Almost doesn't count.

...And I don't regret the rain
Or the nights I felt the pain
Or the tears I had to cry
Some of those times along the way
Every road I had to take
Every time my heart would break
It was just something that I had to get through
To get me to you.

Karen,
I just got lucky on a search for you. I think I found it by putting in some of the lyrics in my web search instead of searching for "song lyrics". I hope you are able to get it. I know how it is when you have a song in your head and just drives you crazy if you can't remember it or find it.

For some reason, I've been singing Steve Miller all day...

My grandpa, he's 95
And he keeps on dancin'
He's still alive

My grandma, she's 92
She loves to dance
And sing some, too

I don't know
But I've been told
If you keep on dancing
You'll never grow old

Come on darling
Put a pretty dress on
We're gonna go out tonight
Dance, dance, dance
Dance, dance, dance
Dance, dance, dance
All night long

I'm a hard working man
I'm a son of a gun
I've been working all week in the noon day sun
The wood's in the kitchen
And the cow's in the barn
I'm all cleaned up and my chores are all done
Take my hand, come along
Let's go out and have some fun

Come on darling put a pretty dress on
We're gonna go out tonight
Dance, dance, dance
Dance, dance, dance
Dance, dance, dance
All night long

Come on darling, don't look that way
Don't you know when you smile
I've got to say you're my honey pumpkin lover
You're my heart's delight
Don't you want to go out tonight
You're such a pretty lady
You're such a sweet girl
When you dance it brightens up my world
Come on darling put a pretty dress on
We're gonna go out tonight
And dance, dance, dance
Dance, dance, dance
Dance, dance, dance
All night long

The Valley, by Jane Siberry. I first heard k. d. lang sing it when she was on tour here. I love this song.

"I live in the hills
You live in the valleys
And all that you know
Are these blackbirds

You rise every morning
Wondering what in the world
Will the world bring today
Will it bring you joy or will it take it away?
And every step you take is guided by
The love of the light upon the land
And the blackbird's cry
You will walk in good company

The valley is dark
The burgeoning holding
The stillness obscured by their judging
You walk through the shadows
Uncertain and surely hurting
Deserted by the blackbirds
And the staccato of the staff
And though you trust the light
Towards which you wend your way
Sometimes you feel all that you wanted
Has been taken away
You will walk in good company

I love the best of you
You love the best of me
Though it is not always easy
Lovely? Lonely?
We will walk in good company

The shepherd upright and flowing
You see..."

Today is not a good day for karen.

Guess there are times when we all need to share a little pain
And ironing out the rough spots
Is the hardest part when memories remain
And it's times like these when we all need to hear the radio
`Cause from the lips of some old singer
We can share the troubles we already know

Turn them on, turn them on
Turn on those sad songs
When all hope is gone
Why don't you tune in and turn them on

They reach into your room
Just feel their gentle touch
When all hope is gone
Sad songs say so much

If someone else is suffering enough to write it down
When every single word makes sense
Then it's easier to have those songs around
The kick inside is in the line that finally gets to you
and it feels so good to hurt so bad
And suffer just enough to sing the blues

Sad songs, they say
Sad songs, they say
Sad songs, they say
Sad songs, they say so much

Went to Swallow Hill in Denver for a folk festival, live music. Went to hear one act, this young guy named Eric Schwartz, who I had heard on the Big Eddie show, Air America Radio.

He has this parody song about George Bush, a really good Bush bashing song, where he gets the audience to sing the refrain, "but Clinton got a BL--JOB".

It's all about all the awful things Bush has done to our country from getting us into this quagmire in Iraq to his lack of action during Katrina, but who got impeached? It was Clinton! For what? What is worse, getting us into a stupid war, that has nothing to do with the war on terror, or having an extramarital fling?

Anyway, Eric Schwartz. He had several other really good songs and is quite the performer. Don't know what nitch he fits in and can't exactly see him on Leno but he's a talent.

Just picked up Neil Young's "Living with War" cd from the library. It's great.

Where are the other anti war singers/songwriters?

I guess after the Dixie Chicks were crushed by the far right wing conservative extremists, others were afraid to speak out.

Some of the cuts are:

Living with War
Shock and Awe
Families
Flags of Freedom
Let's Impeach the President
Lookin for a Leader
America the Beautiful

789.2 from your local public library

just found this thread...
thanks Karen for posting Misguided Angel - I am sitting here singing away - i LOVE that song, adn am a HUGE Cowboy Junkies fan.

Marej - did you ever get the Jeff Buckley album "Grace" - that is the one w/ Hallelujah (i am not sure if it is a Cohen song, but I know Jeff did not write it originally)
There is a song on Grace that makes me and DH cry - it is called "The Last Goodbye".

Gawd I love Jeff Buckley. His untimely and tragic death came as quite a shock.

carry on...
