(69) Yours Playlist Fav

I am thinking it is the purity to her voice that makes this a favorite of mine – Ella Henderson, singing “Yours”. And I will find my strength to untape my mouth When I used to be afraid of the words But with you I’ve learned just to let it out Now my heart is ready to burst ‘Cause I, I feel like I’m ready for love And I wanna be your everything and more And I know every day you say it But I just want you to be sure That I’m yours Continue reading (69) Yours Playlist Fav

(53) HHS Classmates & When We Were Young Playlist Fav

After attending and enjoying my 40th high school reunion last fall, and seeing and renewing old friendships (picture below), this is a song that quickly hit a chord in the “Favs Playlist”…. Let me photograph you in this light In case it is the last time That we might be exactly like we were Before we realized We were sad of getting old It made us restless Oh, I’m so mad I’m getting old It makes me reckless It was just like a movie It was just like a song When we were young Continue reading (53) HHS Classmates & When We Were Young Playlist Fav

I have 6 Sketch books going at the same time: one for work, one for favorite quotes, two for personal daily use, one for National and Chapter ASLA business, and one for Sunday sermons.

(39) Last Time Playlist Fav (6)

Keane’s Tom Chaplin (lead singer) has one of those voices…and I think I understand his lyrics (or at least have my own wishful(?)…hopeful(?)…optimistic(?) interpretation)…. THIS IS THE LAST TIME This is the last time That I will say these words I remember the first time The first of many lies Sweep it into the corner Or hide it under the bed Say these things they go away But they never do Something I wasn’t sure of But I was in the middle of Something I forget now But I’ve seen too little of The last time You fall on me … Continue reading (39) Last Time Playlist Fav (6)

(31) Run Playlist Fav

Oh my this song…makes me breathe deep Run – Sugarland (Jennifer Nettles is a Favs favorite of mine) and Matt Nathanson You pull me in close And buckle my knees I shake and I shiver just to feel you breathe You trace my lines (You trace your lines) Stirring my soul Shoot sparks at the heart of the world and I watch it explode? (I watch you yeah I watch you) You turn, turn, turn, turning me on Like a slow fire burn I Know that it’s wrong Still I run, run, run, run right into you Yeah, I run, … Continue reading (31) Run Playlist Fav

(25) Loaf Playlist Fav (4)

Meatloaf and Marion Raven sing this love song classic, covered most notably by Celine Dion (songwriter Jim Steinman told Meatloaf to wait supposedly because he wanted a woman to sing it). Even after waiting to do the song, I’m thinking Meatloaf does it much better. Being another guy musician in my amateur voice range, I remember many a times, singing many a songs note-for-note with the Meat in the acoustical confines of, amongst many places, my Datsun 310GX for one: I finished crying in the instant that you left And I can’t remember where or when or how And I … Continue reading (25) Loaf Playlist Fav (4)

You can’t hide standing under these stars They know everything, they know where you are You’re in your head, you’re all turned around with in And they’re shining down their lights to bring you back again Back where I can find you to crawl inside you I’m ringing all the warning bells, careful or you’ll hurt yourself Others lie, lie, lie, they adore you I’ll be the one to tell, careful or you’ll hurt yourself Gonna try, try, try ’til the morning comes Continue reading (11) Wednesday Favs Video (2)
