Fantasia-Truth is.

 

 

Ran into an old friend yesterday

Caught me by surprise when he called my name

He was a familiar face, from a chapter in my past

Talked for a while, I smiled and then

Said that he was seeing somebody and

Told me this was gonna last

Showing me her photograph

 

 

And all the feelings I thought were gone

Came rushing back to me at once

Tried to smile and hide the way I felt

But I was thinking to myself

 

 

(Truth is) I never got over you

(Truth is) Wish I was standing in her shoes

(Truth is) And when it's all said and done

Guess I’m still in love with you

(Truth is) I never should have let you go

(Truth is) And it's killing me cuz now I know

(Truth is) And when it's all said and done

Guess I’m still in love with you

 

 

We reminisce on the way things used to be

Shed a couple laughs, shed some memories

Talked about the things that changed

Some for good and some for bad

Then he said good-bye and he paid for lunch

Promised that we'd always keep in touch

Grabbed my bags and grabbed my thoughts, walked away and that was that

 

 

And all the feelings I thought were gone

Came rushing back to me at once

Tried to smile and hide the way I felt

But I was thinking to myself

 

(Truth is) I never got over you

(Truth is) Wish I was standing in her shoes

(Truth is) And when it's all said and done

Guess I’m still in love with you

(Truth is) I never should have let you go

(Truth is) And it's killing me cuz now I know

(Truth is) And when it's all said and done

Guess I’m still in love with you

Heard this today and stopped to listen. Been a while since I've heard it.

 

All that you have is your soul, Tracy Chapman

 

My mama told me

'Cause she say she learned the hard way

Say she want to spare the children

She say don't give or sell your soul away

'Cause all that you have is your soul

 

Don't be tempted by the shiny apple

Don't you eat of a bitter fruit

Hunger only for a taste of justice

Hunger only for a world of truth

'Cause all that you have is your soul

 

I was a pretty young girl once

I had dreams I had hight hopes

I married a man he stole my heart away

He gave his love but what a high price I paid

And all that you have is your soul

 

Why was I such a young fool

Thought I'd make history

Making babies was the best I could do

Thought I'd made something that could be mine forever

Found out the hard way one can't possess another

And all that you have is your soul

 

I thought thought that I could find a way

To beat the system

To make a deal and have no depts to pay

I'd take it all take it all I'd run away

Me for myself first class and first rate

But all that you have is your soul

 

Here I am waiting for a better day

A second chance

A little luck come my way

A hope to dream a hope that I can sleep again

And wake in the world with a clear conscience and clean hands

'Cause all that you have is your soul

 

All that you have

All that you have

All that you have

Is your soul

For some reason i've been very stressed out lately with work, school, and family etc. Anyways, this song always perks me right up and keeps me focused. It's called Breakaway by Kelly Clarkson.

 

-

Grew up in a small town

And when the rain would fall down

I'd just stare out my window

Dreamin' of what could be

And if I'd end up happy

I would pray

 

Trying hard to reach out

But when I tried to speak out

Felt like no one could hear me

Wanting to belong here

But something felt so wrong here

So I prayed I could break away

 

[chorus]

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly

I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky

And I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change

And break away

Out of the darkness and into the sun

But I won't forget all the ones that I love

I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change

And break away

 

Wanna feel the warm breeze

Sleep under a palm tree

Feel the rush of the ocean

Get on board a fast train

Travel on a jetplane, far away

And break away

 

[chorus]

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly

I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky

And I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change

And break away

Out of the darkness and into the sun

I won't forget all the ones that I love

I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change

And break away

 

Buildings with a hundred floors

Swinging round revolving doors

Maybe I don't know where they'll take me

But, gotta keep moving on, moving on

Fly away, break away

 

[chorus 2]

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly

Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye, gotta

Take a risk, take a chance, make a change

And break away

Out of the darkness and into the sun

But I won't forget the place I come from

I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change

And break away

 

Break away

Break away

I worked at the Ottawa airport couple summers ago and there was this moody, perennially carrying this doleful-look face co-worker. He would incessantly play almost to benumbing levels this song: I drink alone by George Thorogood.

 

 

I drink alone, yeah,

with nobody else

I drink alone, yeah,

with nobody else

You know when I drink alone,

I prefer to be by myself

 

Every morning just before breakfast,

I don't want no coffee or tea

Just me and good buddy Wiser,

that's all I ever need

'Cause I drink alone, yeah,

with nobody else

Yeah, you know when I drink alone,

I prefer to be by myself

 

The other night I laid sleeping,

and I woke from a terrible dream

So I caught up my pal Jack Daniel's,

and his partner Jimmy Beam

And we drank alone, yeah,

with nobody else

Yeah, you know when I drink alone,

I prefer to be by myself

 

The other day I got invited to a party,

but I stayed home instead

Just me and my pal Johnny Walker,

and his brothers Black and Red

And we drank alone, yeah,

with nobody else

Yeah, you know when I drink alone,

I prefer to be by myself

 

My whole family done give up on me,

and it makes me feel oh so bad

The only one who will hang out with me,

is my dear old granddad

And we drink alone, yeah,

with nobody else

Yeah, you know when I drink alone,

I prefer to be by myself

This song is super-melodic, and I love the imaginative way McLachlan expresses yearning: "you speak to me in riddles/and you speak to me in rhymes".

 

Possession, Sarah McLachlan

 

Listen as the wind blows

From across the great divide

Voices trapped in yearning

Memories trapped in time

The night is my companion

And solitude my guide

Would I spend forever here

And not be satisfied

 

And I would be the one

To hold you down

Kiss you so hard

I’ll take your breath away

And after I’d wipe away the tears

Just close your eyes dear

 

Through this world I’ve stumbled

So many times betrayed

Trying to find an honest word

To find the truth enslaved

Oh you speak to me in riddles and

You speak to me in rhymes

My body aches to breathe your breath

You words keep me alive

 

And I would be the one

To hold you down

Kiss you so hard

I’ll take your breath away

And after I’d wipe away the tears

Just close your eyes dear

 

Into this night I wander

It’s morning that I dread

Another day of knowing of

The path I fear to tread

Oh into the sea of waking dreams

I follow without pride

Nothing stands between us here

And I won’t be denied

 

And I would be the one

To hold you down

Kiss you so hard

I’ll take your breath away

And after I’d wipe away the tears

Just close your eyes dear

this song just gets me laughing (looks quite odd when i listen to it on the bus and start laughing... redface.gif ) but if yall saw the video you'd understand...

 

"No Surprise" by: THEORY OF A DEADMAN

 

Friday is when you left me

So I'll drink myself to sleep

And Sunday is when I'll wake up

Not to remember a thing

 

My friends all say the same thing

I don't know my new girl too well

(I know)

That all this lying gets to me

And no one seems to give a shit

(The way)

She talks to every guy in the bar

(I guess)

It should've raised some kind of alarm

Who'd ever think I'd go and end up?

Like all the other guys that you're gunning for!

 

Well it ain't no surprise

That you turn me on and leave

It ain't no surprise

That you turn it around on me

I don't know why

You won't give me what I need

It ain't no surprise

That that ***** is leavin' me

 

My friends are mean to me

They say I don't break up too well

(They know)

All this crying gets to me

And no one seems to give a shit

Well I know you want to

So go on and say it

Just go on and say it

Just go on and say it

 

Well it ain't no surprise

That you turn me on and leave

It ain't no surprise

That you turn it around on me

I don't know why

You won't give me what I need

It ain't no surprise

That that ***** is leavin' me

(Leavin' me)

 

Friday is when you left me

So I drank myself to sleep

And Sunday I never woke up

 

Well it ain't no surprise

That you turn me on and leave

It ain't no surprise

That you turn it around on me

I don't know why

You won't give me what I need

It ain't no surprise

That that ***** is leavin' me

That that ***** is leavin' me

Was just listening to this song..like I kinda do everyday(1th song on my playlist)

 

Avant - I Wanna Be

i wanna be girl let me be

i wanna be everything your man's not

and i'm gonna give you every little thing i got

cause you are more than a man needs

thats why i say you're truly my destiny

i'm gonna getcha if it takes me until forever

no you dont feel me if forever turns into never

i'll let you know my love is just that strong

and for you never just aint that long

 

i wanna be the smile you put on your face

i wanna be your hands when you say your prayers

i wanna be whatever is your favorite place

or i just wanna be close to you

i wanna be the hat you put on your head

i wanna be the sheet you put on your bed

i wanna be the skirt wrapped around your legs

or i just wanna be close

 

and even if the day turns into night

i will love you by candlelight

and even if the bottles start to fall over

i'll be there to put you on my shoulders

and if its hard for you to get to sleep

i will sing you a melody.. yes i will

i wanna feel this way til the end of time

coz i pray the day you'll be mine

 

i wanna be the smile you put on your face

i wanna be your hands when you say your prayers

i wanna be whatever is your favorite place

or i just wanna be close

i wanna be the hat you put on your head

i wanna be the sheet you put on your bed

i wanna be the skirt wrapped around your legs

or i just wanna be close

 

see my life is filled with ups and downs

but im okay when youre around

and when i'm in a storm and my nights are cold

reach out your hand for me to hold

see youre my queen on a throne

and youre a reason for a song

and i cant wait to fill you up with love

fill you up with love ... fill you with love

 

i wanna be your sun, your stars and your moon

i wanna be a hot summer day in june

i wanna be the smell of your sweet perfume

girl i wanna be, or i just wanna be close

i wanna be the seat of play at noon (?)

i wanna be the one thats so faithful and true

i wanna be a million dollar house thats new

or i just wanna be close

 

i wanna be your sun, your stars and your moon

i wanna be a hot summer day in june

i wanna be the smell of your sweet perfume

or i just wanna be close

i wanna be the seat of play at noon (?)

i wanna be the one thats so faithful and true

i wanna be a million dollar house thats new

or i just wanna be close

 

i wanna be your sun, your stars and your moon

i wanna be a hot summer day in june

i wanna be the smell of your sweet perfume

girl i wanna be, or i just wanna be close

i just wanna be close

Dido Life For Rent

 

I haven't ever really found a place that I call home

I never stick around quite long enough to make it

I apologize that once again I'm not in love

But it's not as if I mind

that your heart ain't exactly breaking

 

It's just a thought, only a thought

 

But if my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy

Well I deserve nothing more than I get

Cos nothing I have is truly mine

 

I've always thought

that I would love to live by the sea

To travel the world alone

and live more simply

I have no idea what's happened to that dream

Cos there's really nothing left here to stop me

 

It's just a thought, only a thought

 

But if my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy

Well I deserve nothing more than I get

Cos nothing I have is truly mine

 

If my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy

Well I deserve nothing more than I get

Cos nothing I have is truly mine

 

While my heart is a shield and I won't let it down

While I am so afraid to fail so I won't even try

Well how can I say I'm alive

 

If my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy

Well I deserve nothing more than I get

Cos nothing I have is truly mine

 

If my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy

Well I deserve nothing more than I get

 

Cos nothing I have is truly mine

Cos nothing I have is truly mine

Cos nothing I have is truly mine

Cos nothing I have is truly mine

Listening to this lady always moves me...You can't help but be inspired by this song.

 

Feeling Good by Nina Simone.

 

Birds flying high you know how I feel

Sun in the sky you know how I feel

Reeds driftin' on by you know how I feel

 

 

It's a new dawn

It's a new day

It's a new life

For me

And I'm feeling good

 

Fish in the sea you know how I feel

River running free you know how I feel

Blossom in the tree you know how I feel

 

 

Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, don't you know

Butterflies all havin' fun you know what I mean

Sleep in peace when day is done

That's what I mean

 

And this old world is a new world

And a bold world

For me

 

Stars when you shine you know how I feel

Scent of the pine you know how I feel

Oh freedom is mine

And I know how I feel
