Post a song that makes you think of someone or something in your life right now
My Wish - Rascal Flatts
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMdpzPX9VDw

This song makes me think of my friend who is leaving the country for 6-12 months to do what she loves most - travel and write. I'm going to miss her - but I'm happy for her beause she's doing what she loves! This song kind of represents what I wish for her.

6. Piano Man - lost 25 bucks on it , dammit
Way, way, way back when it first came out, I said that HAD to be Harry Chapin singing it, and a buddy said it was some guy named Billy Joel. I told him he was crazy, and I would bet $25 that it was Chapin.

That was back in the 70s, when $25 was real money. So that's what I'm thinking of right now, losing 25 bucks that I could use for Christmas spending.

Just call me a sentimentalist.

It reminds me of a friend that is incredibly wonderful, though not quite "right in the head." :)

10. tumbling tumbleweed
See then tumbling down
Pledging their love to the ground
Lonely but free I'll be found
Drifting along with a tumbling tumbleweed

I'm a rovin' cowboy ridin' all day long
Tumbleweeds around me sing their lonely song
Nights underneath the prairie moon
I'll ride alomg and sing a tune

See then tumbling down
Pledging their love to the ground
Lonely but free I'll be found
Drifting along with a tumbling tumbleweed

Cares of the past are behind
Nowhere to go but I'll find
Just where the trail will wind
Drifting along with a tumbling tumbleweed

I know when night is gone
That a new world's born at dawn

I'll keep rolling along
Deep in my heart is a song
Here on the range I belong
Drifting along with a tumbling tumbleweed

16. Run
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Qen3Xovtfc

"Run" Snow Patrol

I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done

And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbye
I nearly do

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

Slower slower
We don't have time for that
All I want is to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads

Have heart my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

:hi:

22. Yep I sure did
It was a bitch with the crappy software that I was using.
I must admit though the screw ups of the idiots in DC made it really easy to mesh Image with verse.
It's almost over thank gawd...

24. Miracles
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5UgimK3vrI

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

If only you believe like I believe, baby
We'd get by
If only you believe in miracles, baby
So would I
If only you believe like I believe, baby
We'd get by
If only you believe in miracles, baby
So would I.
I might have to move heaven and earth to prove
It to you, baby
So we're makin' love and you feel the power
And I feel the power
Then there's really nothing that we can't do
If we wanted to, baby
We could exist on the stars
It'd be so easy
All we gotta do
Is get a little faith in you
Oh, I've been (to) so many places
I've seen some things
I know, love is the answer
Keeps holding this world together
Ain't nothing better
Ain't nothing better
And all the answers to our prayers
Hell , it's the same everywheres, baby
Nothing ever breaks up the heart
Only tears give you away
Then you're right where I found ya
With my arms around ya
Oh baby, baby, baby, love is a magic word, yeah
Few ever find in a lifetime
But from that very first look in your eyes
I knew you and I had but one heart
Only our bodies were apart
That was so easy, so easy
I had a taste of the real world
When I went down on you, girl.
If only you believe like I believe, baby
We'd get by
If only you believe in miracles, baby
So would I
If only you believe like I believe, baby
We'd get by
If only you believe in miracles, baby
So would I.
I can hear windmills and rainbows
Whenever you're talkin' to me
I feel like swirling and dancin'
Whenever you're walking with me
You ripple like a river when I touch you
When I pluck your body like a string
When I start dancin' inside ya
Oh baby, you make me wanna sing
Yeah, baby, baby, baby, baby
Oh yeah, all right
Baby, we're sure doin' it tonight
Everytime you come by, let me try
Pretty, please sugar on it
That's how I like it
I can't even believe it, with you
It's like having every dream I ever wanted
Come true
I picked up your vibes
You know it opened my eyes
But I'm still dreamin' yeah
And you're right where I found ya
With my arms around ya.

26. Juan Manuel Serrat - It's the little things
Edited on Sun Dec-09-07 06:52 PM by Xipe Totec
Just when one thinks
that time and absence
has killed them.
We find their train
purchased
a round trip ticket.

It's those little things
left behind from days of roses
in a corner
a piece of paper
or a box.

Like thieves
they hide and watch us
from behind a door.
They have us
at their mercy
like dead leaves.

Dragged by the wind hither and yon,
as they smile at us, sadly, and
they make us
cry when
no one can see.

- Juan Manuel Serrat

In 1974:
