    Just a nice song.



    WITHIN TEMPTATION "Lost" (Acoustic)

    My hope is on fire
    My dreams are for sale
    I dance on a wire
    I don't want to fail her


    I walk against the stream
    Far from what I believe in
    I run towards towards the end
    Trying not to give in


    She's lost in the darkness
    Fading away
    I'm still around here
    Screaming her name
    She's haunting my dreamworld
    Trying to survive
    My heart is frozen
    I'm losing my mind


    Help me, I'm buried alive
    Buried alive

    I'm burning the bridges
    And there's no return
    I'm trying to reach her
    I feel that she yearns

    I walk against the stream
    Far from what I believe in
    I run towards towards the end
    Trying not to give in

    She's lost in the darkness
    Fading away
    I'm still around here
    Screaming her name
    She's haunting my dreamworld
    Trying to survive
    My heart is frozen
    I'm losing my mind

    Help me, I'm buried alive
    Buried alive

    I tried to revive what's already drowned
    They think I'm a fool
    Can't realise,
    Hope plays a wicked game with the mind
    'Cause I thought that love would bind
    I cannot revive what's already drowned
    She won't come around

    She's lost in the darkness
    Fading away
    I'm still around here
    Screaming her name
    She's haunting my dreamworld
    Trying to survive
    My heart is frozen
    I'm losing my mind

    Help me, I'm buried alive
    Buried alive

    I just love this song! One of the truest and funniest songs I know

    If your gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough

    When you get knocked down you gotta get back up,
    I ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer but I know enough, to know,
    If your gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough

    I lit my brain with Rot-Gut whiskey
    'Till all my pain was chicken fried
    And I had dudes with badges frisk me
    Teach me how to swallow pride

    I took advice no fool would take
    I got some habits I can't shake
    I ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I know enough to know
    If you're gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough

    If you're gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough
    When you get knocked down, you gotta get back up
    That's the way it is in life and love
    If you're gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough

    I've been up and down and down and out
    I've been left and right and wrong
    Well I've walked the walk and I've run my mouth
    I've been on the short end for too long

    But if they gave medals for honky tonk wars
    Hell, I'd keep mine in my chest of drawers
    With my IRS bills and divorce papers and all that stuff
    If you're gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough

    If you're gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough
    When you get knocked down, you gotta get back up
    I ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I know enough to know
    If you're gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough

    If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough

    Bob Marley:Crisis:Album: Kaya: 1978: Lyrics and Video

    I’m a metaphysical thinker, I believe in ‘Kingdom come.’ When any song or poem refers to a higher power or God, I simply fuse my own meaning and understanding of God into that song or poem. My higher power is Jesus Christ

    This particular Marley song is as emotional as a song can get, it speaks to one's heart..

    Crisis

    “They say the sun an-a shines for all,
    But-a yin some people world, it never shine at all. Mm-mm-mm.
    They say love is a stream that will find its course;
    I mean - some-a people think life is a dream
    So they making matters worse.

    But no matter what the crisis is;
    No matter what the crisis is:
    Doin' it, doin' it, doin' your thing!
    (Give Jah all the thanks and praises!)
    Givin' it, givin' it, givin' it, givin' it!
    (Give Jah all the thanks and praises!)

    So - so - so much have been said, so little (been done) been done
    They still killin' - killin' the people
    And they - and they havin' (havin' their fun) - havin'-a - havin'-a lots of fun -
    Killin' the people, oo-yoo! - (havin' fun) havin' their fun!
    They just want to be the leader
    In the house of the risin' sun.

    But no matter what the crisis is;
    Oh, no, oh, no no - no what the crisis is:
    Do your - live it up, live it up, live it up, live it up!
    (Give Jah all the thanks and praises!)



    Live it up, live it up, live it up, live it up!
    (Give Jah all the thanks and praises!)

    They say the sun-un-un-un shines for all,
    But-a yin some people world, it never shine at all!
    They say love is a stream,
    That will find its course, and every river runs to sea;
    Some people still think life is a dream,
    So they - so they makin' - makin' it worse.

    No matter what the crisis is;
    No matter what the crisis is:
    Do it: live it up, live it up, live it up, live it up!
    (Give Jah all the thanks and praises!)
    Live it up, live it up, live it up, live it up!
    (Give Jah all the thanks and praises!)
    (Give Jah all the thanks and praises!)
    His mercies endureth for ever, yeah!
    (Give Jah all the thanks and praises!)
    Oh, children, come on, and give Jah -
    (Give Jah all the thanks and praises!)
    Children, come on, and give Jah -
    (Give Jah all the thanks and praises!).”

    This song has a hidden meaning for some



    Evanescence "Bring Me To Life"
    (feat. Paul McCoy)


    How can you see into my eyes like open doors?
    Leading you down into my core where I’ve become so numb
    Without a soul my spirit's sleeping somewhere cold
    Until you find it there and lead it back home


    (Wake me up)
    Wake me up inside
    (I can’t wake up)
    Wake me up inside
    (Save me)
    Call my name and save me from the dark
    (Wake me up)
    Bid my blood to run
    (I can’t wake up)
    Before I come undone
    (Save me)
    Save me from the nothing I’ve become

    Now that I know what I’m without
    You can't just leave me
    Breathe into me and make me real
    Bring me to life


    (Wake me up)
    Wake me up inside
    (I can’t wake up)
    Wake me up inside
    (Save me)
    Call my name and save me from the dark
    (Wake me up)
    Bid my blood to run
    (I can’t wake up)
    Before I come undone
    (Save me)
    Save me from the nothing I’ve become

    Bring me to life
    (I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside)
    Bring me to life

    Frozen inside without your touch
    Without your love, darling
    Only you are the life among the dead

    All this time I can't believe I couldn't see
    Kept in the dark but you were there in front of me
    I’ve been sleeping a thousand years it seems
    Got to open my eyes to everything
    Without a thought, without a voice, without a soul
    Don't let me die here
    There must be something more
    Bring me to life

    (Wake me up)
    Wake me up inside
    (I can’t wake up)
    Wake me up inside
    (Save me)
    Call my name and save me from the dark
    (Wake me up)
    Bid my blood to run
    (I can’t wake up)
    Before I come undone
    (Save me)
    Save me from the nothing I’ve become

    (Bring me to life)
    I’ve been living a lie, there’s nothing inside
    (Bring me to life)

    Well thought I'd kick off the Christmas offerings with this one;

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrAwK9juhhY

    One of my all time fave Irish bands, this particular song has lots of great but sad memories for me, it was a benchmark song from my youth and unfortunately like Kirsty MacColl most of the friends I associate with this track are no longer with us.

    Pogues – Fairytale Of New York
    Songwriters: FINER, JEREMY MAX / MACGOWAN, SHANE PATRICK LYSAGHT
    It was christmas eve babe
    In the drunk tank
    An old man said to me: won't see another one
    And then they sang a song
    The rare old mountain dew
    I turned my face away and dreamed about you
    Got on a lucky one
    Came in eighteen to one
    I´ve got a feeling
    This year´s for me and you
    So happy christmas
    I love you baby
    I can see a better time
    Where all our dreams come true.

    They got cars big as bars
    They got rivers of gold
    But the wind goes right through you
    It´s no place for the old
    When you first took my hand on a cold christmas eve
    You promised me broadway was waiting for me
    You were handsome you were pretty
    Queen of new york city when the band finished playing they yelled out for more
    Sinatra was swinging all the drunks they were singing
    We kissed on a corner
    Then danced through the night.

    And the boys from the NYPD choir were singing Galway Bay
    And the bells were ringing out for christmas day.

    You´re a bum you´re a punk
    You´re an old slut on junk
    Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
    You scumbag you maggot
    You cheap lousy faggot
    Happy christmas your arse I pray god it´s our last.

    And the boys of the NYPD choir's still singing Galway Bay
    And the bells were ringing out
    For christmas day.

    I could have been someone
    Well so could anyone
    You took my dreams from me
    When I first found you
    I kept them with me babe
    I put them with my own
    Can´t make it out alone
    I´ve built my dreams around you

    And the boys of the NYPD choir's still singing Galway Bay
    And the bells are ringing out
    For christmas day.

    The tragic thing about Christmas is that the vast majority of reputable Biblical Scholars this globe over will tell you that Jesus Christ was not born on 25 December! This is irrefutable!

    Indeed, my Lord and Saviour was born, but just not on 25 December.


    Christmas is a nice HOLIDAY but most definitely not a HOLY DAY

    The further tragedy is that so many millions of people this globe over are miserable during this time for countless reasons such as poverty, unemployment, illness etc.

    This song has a calming effect on me…










    “(Happy Xmas Kyoko
    Happy Xmas Julian)


    So this is Xmas
    And what have you done
    Another year over
    And a new one just begun
    And so this is Xmas
    I hope you have fun
    The near and the dear one
    The old and the young

    A very Merry Xmas
    And a happy New Year
    Let's hope it's a good one
    Without any fear

    And so this is Xmas (war is over)
    For weak and for strong (if you want it)
    For rich and the poor ones (war is over)
    The world is so wrong (if you want it)
    And so happy Xmas (war is over)
    For black and for white (if you want it)
    For yellow and red ones (war is over)
    Let's stop all the fight (now)

    A very Merry Xmas
    And a happy New Year
    Let's hope it's a good one
    Without any fear

    And so this is Xmas (war is over)
    And what have we done (if you want it)
    Another year over (war is over)
    A new one just begun (if you want it)
    And so happy Xmas (war is over)
    We hope you have fun (if you want it)
    The near and the dear one (war is over)
    The old and the young (now)

    A very Merry Xmas
    And a happy New Year
    Let's hope it's a good one
    Without any fear

    War is over, if you want it
    War is over now

    Happy Xmas.”

    Boney M: By The Rivers of Babylon:1978: Lyrics, Video and History

    I'm a Christian by fate, an evangelist by heart and one who has a deep respect for all fates and all people [My higher power is therefore Jesus Christ]. This doesn’t preclude me from researching other religions with similarities. It doesn’t preclude me from respecting other religions, in fact it calls upon me to respect everyone[I often fail dismally here].
    You have your holy book and I have mine, nothing wrong there!
    The history of this song is fascinating...

    This is a song that most of you will recognize, it was first written and sung by Brent Dowe and Trevor McNaughton of the Melodians in 1972, Boney M later made the song famous. Personally I prefer the version by Jimmy Cliff; The song is based on Psalm 137, it expresses the mood if you will of the Jewish people who were in exile following the Babylonian conquest of Jerusalem in 586BC. ‘The rivers of Babylon are the Euphrates River, its tributaries, and the Chebar River. The song also has words from Psalm 19:14.’ Psalm 19:14(NIV) reads, “May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight.”
    The modern day Church will often wrongly utilize ‘Zion’ interchangeably with ‘The Church’ [This is misplaced and incorrect], Zion was, is and will always be Israel!

    So Babylon has multiple meanings: Firstly, it’s historical meaning is the ancient Biblical city of Babylon, secondly, Rastafarians and many other use ‘Babylon,’ to refer to any world system.
    In an interview conducted with Bob Marley somewhere in the 70’s, the interviewer puts it to Bob: “ The fruits of Babylon so to speak, to build up any organisation..’
    Bob interrupts him and says: “Fruits of Babylon, the fruits of Babylon, Babylon no have no fruits!”
    “In the Rastafarian faith, the term "Babylon" is used for any governmental system which is either oppressive or unjust. In Jamaica, Rastafarians also use "Babylon" to refer to the police, often seen as a source of oppression because they arrest members for the use of marijuana (which is sacramental for Rastafarians). Therefore, "By the rivers of Babylon" refers to living in a repressive society and the longing for freedom, just like the Israelites in captivity. Rastafarians also identify themselves as belonging to the Twelve Tribes of Israel. The original version specifically refers to Rastafarian belief in Haile Selassie, by changing references to "the Lord" in the Biblical text to "Far-I" and "King Alpha". Both terms refer to Selassie (Selassie's wife Menen Asfaw is known as Queen Omega).[3] In addition, the term "the wicked" replaces the neutral "they" of Psalm 137 in the line "they that carried us away captive required of us a song..”[1]





    “By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down
    Ye-eah we wept, when we remembered zion.

    By the rivers of babylon, there we sat down
    Ye-eah we wept, when we remembered zion.

    When the wicked
    Carried us away in captivity
    Required from us a song
    Now how shall we sing the Lords song in a strange land

    When the wicked
    Carried us away in captivity
    Requiering of us a song
    Now how shall we sing the lords song in a strange land


    Let the words of our mouth and the meditations of our heart
    Be acceptable in thy sight here tonight


    Let the words of our mouth and the meditation of our hearts
    Be acceptable in thy sight here tonight

    By the rivers of babylon, there we sat down
    Ye-eah we wept, when we remembered zion.

    By the rivers of babylon, there we sat down
    Ye-eah we wept, when we remembered zion.

    By the rivers of babylon (dark tears of babylon)
    There we sat down (you got to sing a song)
    Ye-eah we wept, (sing a song of love)
    When we remember zion. (yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)

    By the rivers of babylon (rough bits of babylon)
    There we sat down (you hear the people cry)
    Ye-eah we wept, (they need their God)
    When we remember zion. (ooh, have the power)”

    Why indeed?

    “Why do we sit around and
    Break each other’s hearts tonight,
    Why do we dance around?
    The issues till the morning light,
    When we sit and talk and

    You were the one to tell me go,
    But you were the one for me
    And now you’re going through the door
    When you take that step
    I love you baby more and more
    We need to laugh and sing and cry
    And warm each other’s hearts tonight,
    Observing the fun of everything
    And loving all of mother God,


    Tearing us, you’re tearing us,

    Your breaking us, you’re breaking us,

    You’re saving us,
    Forever alive, forever alive, forever, forever,
    Forever alive, forever alive, forever,
    Never and ever again.”
