Jamaal

Yeah, most of the music can be classifeid as soul

but, its all apart of a bunch of 60s hits I was raised on smile.gif . The CD you have sounds like something I probably lost in my closet, but I'm good to go since I have this motown hits from the 60s so far my favourite song on that is aqauriaus by the fifth dimension :D

Lovely me,

 

This song is about you, i deeply sing

This is a happy song of the joy you bring

Though far away overseas yet it feels close

S'thing in me says, 'she's worth giving a rose'

 

If I could win your love, believe me

There will no longer be, lonely me

My days could've brightened up, happy me

My nights could have warmed up, sleepy me

And my one and only could be, 'LOVELY you'

Ruff Endz - Someone To Love You

 

Mmm...yeah

Mmm...mmm...mmm...mmm...

I betcha that I could read your mind

And tell you everything you’re going through

Baby, I cry to find a thousand reasons why

You’re alone and acting so cold

 

Tell me how long you’ve been this way

Maybe I can open up your heart

See, I’ve been waiting all my life for someone just

like you

And I know you’ve been waiting too

For someone to love you

 

All you need is someone who cares (For someone to love

you)

Someone who will always be there (Mmm...mmm...)

All you need is to say is that you want me to be with

you

Girl, I know you waited so long

For someone to love you

Ooh...

Mmm, mmm, mmm

 

Baby, I wish I could be there

For every time you ever shed a tear

Baby, I hate to see a pretty girl like you

Goin’ through the things that you do, yeah

 

Girl, I think you’ve gone for far too long

Without a good man to make you smile

Now how can I appeal to you and make you understand

That I’m here, what are you waiting for

Someone to love you

 

All you need is someone who cares {Oh, yeah, someone

to love you}

Someone who will always be there {Mmm...}

All you need is to say is that you want me to be with

you

Girl, I know you waited so long

For someone to love you

 

Maybe you’ve been waiting for a man from all your

fairy tales

Or maybe just a man from all your dreams

Try and think reality, enjoy the possibilities

‘Cause girl, you now you’ve waited so long

For someone to love you, you, you, you, you

{Someone to love you}

You waited, oh, so long

 

All you need is someone to care (Someone to love you,

who really cares)

Someone who will always be there (A man, a man like

me)

All you need is someone (Someone, someone, someone

like me) {How was your day, baby}

All you need is someone who will be there {Open up

your heart, please, babe}

All you need is someone {Woo, I care for you, take my

hand}

All you need is someone {I wanna be there} (Someone,

someone, someone, someone)

All you need is someone.

Another Day In Paradise (Collins)

 

She calls out to the man on the street

"Sir, can you help me?

It's cold and I've nowhere to sleep,

Is there somewhere you can tell me?"

 

He walks on, doesn't look back

He pretends he can't hear her

Starts to whistle as he crosses the street

Seems embarrassed to be there

 

Oh think twice, it's another day for

You and me in paradise

Oh think twice, it's just another day for you,

You and me in paradise

 

She calls out to the man on the street

He can see she's been crying

She's got blisters on the soles of her feet

Can't walk but she's trying

 

Oh think twice...

 

Oh lord, is there nothing more anybody can do

Oh lord, there must be something you can say

 

You can tell from the lines on her face

You can see that she's been there

Probably been moved on from every place

'Cos she didn't fit in there

 

Oh think twice...

So take a look at me now, well there's just an empty space

And there's nothing left here to remind me, just the memory of your face

Now take a look at me now, cos there's just an empty space

Am I trying to see something which is not there or the peom is an allegory?

 

It sounds as though the human self is speaking to higher Self and saying that reality in its actual constituent is only an empty space and hence it is by virtue of the presence of the higher Self that the lower Self has content of form, memory and outside phenomena which sorrounds it.

 

Any way I'm intrigued by the inquiring nature of the human intelligence!

TheAwakener, I greet thee with the eternal Asalaamu Calaykum;

 

Indeed an allegory is manifest in the poem/lyric with or without the given human self's knowing; it echoes beyond the physical contituency of the 'person' and into the 'impersonal' space of reality. Perhaps he who uttered the lyric was feeling final detachment from human self but found the unbounded state of higher being too immense to cope with hence his/her seeking of something physically visible to hold to? Who knows? Perhaps both of us (you and I) unnecessarilly read too transcendentally into the lyrics ?

 

But whatever the case, that human intelligence, sometimes unbeknown, underestimates the stretch of of its reach. Peculiarly, have you ever experienced moments in which what you see or say felt beyond your control? I have indeed had such moments, and more so moments when I can almost second guess how events follow each other; dejavu of a more humbling nature.

 

Whatever is, whatever was, and whatever will be all live in a single second, which is of that of the 'now'. And as such, there is active NOW, only as a PAST now.... one knows what is 'now' after some delay...making now forever illussive to grasp....

 

And yet the singer laments ...'take a look at me now - there's just an empty space'... from a space OUTSIDE all known states of the human self. THAT is the nothingness you sense in the poem/lyrics, I would hope.

Wonderful!

 

Your words are truely fruit for the mind and consolation for Spirit. I prefer to add the word HERE........

hence HERE and NOW are masked constituents which we don't readily experience in our role

as observers of the physical reality. But in a deeper level, beyond the limitations of physical sensory organs,

the true nature of the HERE and NOW could be unmasked for the perceiver who by the GRACE of God

is allowed to gain such an experience.

 

This BBC documentary could be additional food for thoughts in that regard.

Joe - Almost There

 

How we go from friends, to lovers

Tell me that

How we go from friends, to lovers

You kiss me first and I discover

And for now, there is no other

 

Started as friends

But now my heart says different

All week and all day long we kick it

How did we go from there to here?

 

Now you can say what you want

But I know you feel it

Truth be told, you and me, we'd kill it

Now I'm really tryna find my way to you baby

 

When I reach out for your hand

Girl you'll be right there

I know you will be there

Oh, and baby, that's all I know I am

 

I'm almost there

Close to your heart, baby

I'm almost there

I was never too far from it

I'm almost there

I'm almost right where I wanna be, yeah

I'm almost there

Almost, almost there

 

Whatever you ask

Then you know I'm with it

If I ain't home then I'm with you chillin'

How did we go from there to here?

 

And my homies say

'Yo, homeboy, you trippin'

But they ain't the ones gettin the love you givin

Girl I really tryna find my way to you baby

 

When I reach out for your hand

Girl you'll be right there

I know you will be there

Oh, and baby, that's all I know I am

 

I'm almost there

Close to your heart, baby

I'm almost there

I was never too far from it

I'm almost there

I'm almost right where I wanna be, yeah

I'm almost there

Almost, almost there

Hey, cause shawty you're my baby

We done been through thick

And thin in the rain together

And girl, I'd be crazy to not have you around

And let another man just get ya

Oh girl, call me your heartreader

I can read the pages of your heart

And baby, step by step

I'ma climb your stairs

Don't worry baby

Baby, I'm almost there

I'm almost there

I'm almost there

I'm almost there

Almost

 

Almost there

I'm almost right where I wanna be, yeah

I'm almost there

Almost, almost there

I'm almost there

Straight to your heart, baby

I'm almost there

I was never too far from it all

I'm almost there

I'm almost right where I wanna be

I'm almost there

Almost, almost there

^^ Joe is one of the best.

 

Classic songs btw, I used to love this one.

Van Morrison- someone like you

 

I've been searching a long time

For someone exactly like you.

I've been traveling all around the world

Waiting for you to come through

 

Someone like you

Make it all worth while

Someone like you

Keep me satisfied

Someone exactly like you.

 

I've been traveling a hard road

I've been looking for someone exactly like you

I've been carrying my heavy load

Waiting for the light to come shining through

 

Someone like you

Make it all worth while

Someone like you

Keep me satisfied

Someone exactly like you.

 

I've been doing some soul searching

To find out where you were at

I've been up and down the highway

In all kinds of foreign lands

 

Someone like you

Make it all worth while

Someone like you

Keep me satisfied

Someone exactly like you.

 

I've been all around the world

Marching to the beat of a different drum

But now lately I have realized

Maybe the best is yet to come.

 

Someone like you

Make it all worth while

Someone like you

Keep me satisfied

 

Someone exactly like you.

 

Someone exactly like you.

 

Someone exactly like you.

 

The best is yet to come.

 

Oh, the best is yet to come.

 

Someone exactly like you

^It makes me chuckle with some level of embarrassment. That I made this post considering my current state of mind.
