Friday Four

Now for some beginning of the weekend music... With lyrics and because I like the songs..

[via FoxyTunes / Tina Cousins]- Forever (Live)

(chorus)
Just hold me now, just hold me now
Say you'll stay forever
Say the day will never come
Just hold me now, just hold me now
Stay this way forever, oh
'Cos we've only just begun

Tell me why do lovers have to leave?
I know it happens all the time
And it's so sad 'cos this time it's you and me
I know I'm losing you but I just can't believe it,
baby

(Chorus)

Tell me why do feelings have to change?
What happened to the love I knew?
Feel it fading a little more each day
And so I'm losing you but I can't take the truth,
no baby

(repeat chorus)

'cos we've only just begun

(repeat first verse)

(repeat chorus)

Tell me why do lovers have to leave?
What can I say... I just love her songs...

[via FoxyTunes / Texas]-In Demand (with Alan Rickman)

when we were together I was blown away
just like paper from a fan
but you would act like I was just a kid
like we were never gonna' last

but now I've got someone who cares for me, (yeah)
wrote my name in silver sands
I think you know you've lost the love of your life
(you said) I was the best you've ever had

because I'm in demand, (hey)

you're thinking of the way you should've held my, (hand)
and all the times you'd say you didn't understand
you never had our love written in your, (plans)

but now I'm in demand

I never think you saw the best of me (ahh haa haa haa)
there's a side you'll never know
'cos love and loving are two different things (ah haa haa haa)
set your sights far too low

but now I've got someone who cares for me, (yeah)
he wrote my name in silver sands
I think you know you've lost the love of your life
(you said) I was the best you've ever had

because I'm in demand, (hey)

you're thinking of the way you should've held my (hand)
and all the times you'd say you didn't understand
you never had our love written in your plans

but now I'm in demand

you're thinking of the way you've should've of held my (hand)
and all the times you'd say you didn't understand
you never had our love written in your , (plans)

but now I'm in demand

it's only when I fall asleep
I see that winning smile
when my dreams just move along
you've lost the race by miles

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
stay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

because I'm in demand
you're thinking of the way you should've of held my (hand)
and all the times you'd say you didn't understand
you never had our love in your, (plans)

but now I'm in demand, (yeah)
you know I'm in demand
(say you're in demand)
you know I'm in demand, (yeah)
always in demand, (yeah)
never had our love written in your plans
you know I'm in demand

you see me in demand
Spiterri at her smouldering best...

[via FoxyTunes / Time Bandits]- Endless Road

Time can only whisper truth for both of us
All the answers I can't find, I put my trust
In a never ending road that leads to my door

I don't want you to go, my love
That's all you have to know
And I want you to have my soul
Somebody show me the way

And I want you to know, my love
It's an endless road 'till love finally comes our way
My love
Ooohooohooohooo

My love
It's an endless road 'till love finally comes our way
My love
Oooh

Now we fought against a wall when love was 'bout to fall
We tried to make it flow, but love wouldn't let us go
Crazy us, for all those wasted words

I don't want you to go my love
That's all you have to know
And I want you to have my soul
Somebody show me the way

And I want you to know, my love
It's an endless road 'till love finally comes our way
My love
Ooohooohooohooo

My love
It's an endless road 'till love finally comes our way
My love
Ooohooohooohooo

And I want you to know, my love
It's an endless road 'till love finally comes our way
My love
Ooohooohooohooo

My love
It's an endless road 'till love finally comes our way
My love
Ooohooohooohooo

My love
It's an endless road 'till love finally comes our way
My love
Ooohooohooohooo
This sounds like adventuring...

[via FoxyTunes / Midge Ure]- If I Was

If I Was
If I was a better man
Would fellow men take me to their hearts
If I was a stronger man
Carrying the weight of popular demand
Tell me would that alarm her
I'd never harm her at all
If I was a soldier
Captive arms I'd lay before her
If I was a sailor
Seven oceans I'd sail to her
If I was a wiser man
Would other men reach out and touch me
If I was a kinder man
Dishing up love for a hungry world
Tell me would that appease her
I want to please her again
If I was a painter
I'd paint a world that couldn't taint her
If I was a leader
On food of love from above I would feed her
If I was a poet
All my love in burning words I would show it
If I was her lover
Her eyes in kisses I would cover

Come here my baby
Oh they can't touch you now
I'll keep you safe and warm
I'll never leave you at all

Come here my baby
Oh they won't touch you
Dishing up love for a hungry world
Tell me would that appease you
I want to please you again

If I was a soldier
Captive arms I'd lay before her
If I was a sailor
Seven oceans I'd sail to her
If I was a painter
I'd paint a world that couldn't taint her
If I was a leader
On food of love from above I would feed her
If I was a poet
All my love in burning words I would show it
Midge is a year younger than I am... amazing, this has always been one of my favourite songs ever, it never seems to get old.
Around four years ago I thought I was destined to be alone forever, wandering down this endless road, if I was in demand I did not know it. Then I met a wonderful lady named Inge who changed my view of life and made me start the new chapter of striving for adventure and looking at each day with joy and thanks. Sadly our time together was short before she was called to Heaven. So once again here is the poem I wrote in memory of her.
The Gift - Robert Le Noury
You showed that life is today,
not tomorrow,
not yesterday.
Wear your heart for the world to see,
for tomorrow it may have faded.
Tell me you love me now,
dont hesitate,
for tomorrow is but a mirage,
yesterday was a golden memory.
So have a good weekend and make those golden memories with the ones you love.
"People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they're not on your road doesn't mean they've gotten lost." H. Jackson Browne, P. S. I Love You

You are here

Something I have always found amusing is Existentialism... I mean when you look up at the stars how can you not know that the universe is rational. Enough philosophy, lets get on with reality I say.
Winamp has been in a quite mood as I wach the Olympics, Enya, Storms in Africa is playing as I type. I have always liked her music, another in the same genre is Deep Forest of wich the best known is Freedom Cry. Now it has switched to Vanessa Carlton and Sway, her rendition of Paint It Black of the Rolling Stones is one of the best versions ever.
Paint It Black - Jagger/Richards
I see a red door and I want it painted black
no colors anymore, I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

I see a line of cars and they are painted black
with flowers and my love both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
like a new born baby it just happens every day

I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and it's heading into black
maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
it's not easy facing up when your whole world is black

I wanna see it painted painted, painted black, oh baby
I wanna see it painted painted, painted black, oh baby

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the setting sun
my love will laugh with me before the morning comes

I wanna see it painted, painted black, oh
black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted from the sky
painted, painted, painted black oh baby
painted painted, painted black
Poiniant and sad... a song I relate to and gives me a chill when I hear it. Here is a short poem I wrote in memory of the lady this song reminds me of.
The Gift - Robert Le Noury
You showed that life is today,
not tomorrow,
not yesterday.
Wear your heart for the world to see,
for tomorrow it may have faded.
Tell me you love me now,

I will always cherish the short time I had with Inge, a very special lady lent from heaven for us. Always ready with a smile and always game for anything. Sometimes one does not need a lifetime to learn from a friend.
