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 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...

In the 2nd hour of House this week, they featured "Hallelujah" by Jeff Buckley and I just love it. I found the lyrics and will buy the CD.

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.

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...
