    Johnny Cash - Ain't No Grave

    There ain't no grave can hold my body down
    There ain't no grave can hold my body down
    When I hear that trumpet sound I'm gonna rise right out of the ground
    Ain't no grave can hold my body down

    Well, look way down the river, what do you think I see?
    I see a band of angels and they're coming after me
    Ain't no grave can hold my body down
    There ain't no grave can hold my body down

    Well, look down yonder Gabriel, put your feet on the land and see
    But Gabriel don't you blow your trumpet 'til you hear it from me
    There ain't no grave can hold my body down
    Ain't no grave can hold my body down

    Well, meet me Jesus, meet me. Meet me in the middle of the air
    And if these wings don't fail me I will meet you anywhere
    Ain't no grave can hold my body down
    There ain't no grave can hold my body down

    Well, meet me mother and father, meet me down the river road
    And momma you know that I'll be there when I check in my load
    Ain't no grave can hold my body down
    There ain't no grave can hold my body down
    There ain't no grave can hold my body down

    I just like this song

    I agree with you 100% Music for me needs meaning and it needs that something that I am sure you are also familiar with. I see in most of the songs you post is about companionship?

    Yes, it will happen just as clear as night follows day. Nice words, thank you!
    I appreciate very much the poetic intensity that songwriters and singers give to their music. They give it life. I always wonder who the song writer/singer wrote the song for, what was the circumstances and perhaps most importantly did the fairer sex accept the plea the songwriter/singer made!
    I believe in this concept of true love. I believe that if you lucky enough to find it, it can be very fulfilling!
    Here’s one that I suspect you’ll know and appreciate!
    Comfortably Numb (Pink Floyd)

    “Hello?
    Is there anybody in there?
    Just nod if you can hear me.
    Is there anyone at home?
    Come on, now,
    I hear you're feeling down.
    Well I can ease your pain
    And get you on your feet again.
    Relax.
    I need some information first.
    Just the basic facts
    Can you show me where it hurts?

    There is no pain you are receding
    A distant ship, smoke on the horizon.
    You are only coming through in waves.
    Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying.
    When I was a child I had a fever
    My hands felt just like two balloons.
    Now I've got that feeling once again
    I can't explain you would not understand
    This is not how I am.
    I have become comfortably numb.
    O. K.
    Just a little pin prick.
    There'll be no more AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
    But you may feel a little sick.
    Can you stand up?
    I do believe its working. Good.
    That'll keep you going through the show
    Come on it's time to go.
    When I was a child
    I caught a fleeting glimpse
    Out of the corner of my eye
    I turned to look but it was gone

    I cannot put my finger on it now
    The child is grown,
    The dream is gone.
    I have become comfortably numb.”

    Indeed, Pink Floyd's music is sometimes cryptic in this song however it was more simplistic the background music that changes the mood effortlessly. Yet the expression with the electric guitar just plays a solo at the end but it sounds almost ghostly as if it wants to complete the story…

    I can really relate to Stevie Nix’s(and Fleetwoodmac, even though she is Fleetwoodmac to me) song Everywhere.
    You see I have really fallen from grace . I’m proud to announce the following, I’m part of the foolish things of this world, I’m part of the weak things of this world, I’m part of the lowly and despised things of this world and last but most certainly not least I’m part of the things that are not...
    “Can you hear me calling
    Out your name
    You know that I'm falling
    And I don't know what to say

    I'll speak a little louder
    I'll even shout
    You know that I'm proud
    And I can't get the words out

    Oh I,
    I want to be with you everywhere
    Oh I,
    Something's happening
    Happening to me
    My friends say I'm acting peculiarly

    C'mon baby
    We better make a start
    You better make it soon
    Before you break my heart

    Oh I,
    I want to be with you everywhere


    Come along baby
    We better make a start
    You better make it soon
    Before you break my heart”

    This song of Timex social club takes me way back to the 80’s when I was in high school! My friends and I could relate to this song, it was a manner of sorts of justifying our drinking, smoking, partying. Clubbing and driving around looking for chicks way of life. Now, we misunderstood some of the lyrics, we genuinely believed that the chorus was, “ I’m a man who drinks, I am man who stinks, so please let me live my life!” But the actual lyrics are : “I'm a man who thinks, not a man who drinks, so please let me live my life.” Stark contrast!
    Timex social club
    “How do rumors get started, they're started by the jealous people and
    They get mad seein' somethin' they had and somebody else is holdin'
    Tell me that temptation is very hard to resist
    But these wicked women, ooh, they just persist
    Maybe you think it's cute, but girl, I'm not impressed
    I tell you one time only with my business please don't mess

    Look at all these rumors surroundin' me every day
    I just need some time, some time to get away from
    From all these rumors, I can't take it no more
    My best friend said there's one out now about me and the girl next door

    Hear the one about Tina, some say she's much too loose
    That came straight from a guy who claims he's tastin' her juice
    Hear the one about Michael, some say he must be gay
    I try to argue, but they said if he was straight he wouldn't move that way
    Hear the one about Susan, some say she's just a tease
    In a camisole she's six feet tall, she'll knock you to you knees

    Will you look at all these rumors surroundin' me every day
    I just need some time, some time to get away from
    From all these rumors, I can't take it no more
    My best friend said there's one out now about me and the girl next door

    I can't go no place without somebody pointin' a finger
    I can't show my face أ˘'cause when it comes to rumors I'm a dead ringer
    It seems from rumors I just can't get away
    I bet there'll even be rumors floatin' around on Judgment Day
    I'll think I'll write my congressman and tell him to pass a bill
    For the next time they catch somebody startin' rumors, shoot to kill

    Will you look at all these rumors surroundin' me every day
    I just need some time, some time to get away from
    From all these rumors, I can't take it no more
    My best friend said there's one out now about me and the girl next door

    What's mine is mine, I ain't got time for rumors in my life
    I'm a man who thinks, not a man who drinks, so please let me live my life
    What's mine is mine, I ain't got time for rumors in my life
    I'm a man who thinks, not a man who drinks, so please let me live my life
    What's mine is mine, I ain't got time for rumors in my life
    I'm a man who thinks, not a man who drinks, so please let me live my life

    Will you look at all these rumors surroundin' me every day
    I just need some time, some time to get away from
    From all these rumors, I can't take it no more
    My best friend said there's one out now about me and the girl next door

    I just need some time, some time to get away from
    From all these rumors, I can't take it no more
    My best friend said there's one out now about me and the girl next door

    Stop (Stop) spreadin' those rumors around
    Stop (Stop) spreadin' the lies
    Stop (Stop) spreadin' those rumors around
    Stop (Stop) spreadin' the lies”

    Now this song brings back memories This song actually changed my life/ saved my life and made me into a better person. I didn’t run with the pack anymore and become stronger as an individual.

    Looking back today I am actually grateful that this song inspired me to stand alone.


    Weekend Warrior

    The rebel of yesterday, tomorrow's fool
    Who are you kidding being that cool ?

    Trying to break away from running with the pack
    But they ain't listening so you've gotta go back

    You're a weekend warrior when you're one of the crowd
    But it's over, just look at you now...

    You're not so brave the way you behave
    It makes you sick, gotta get out quick
    It's all bravado when you're out with your mates
    It's like a different person goes through those gates
    And the game begins, the adrenalin's high
    Feel the tension maybe someone will die...

    A weekend warrior lately
    A weekend warrior sometimes
    A weekend warrior maybe you ain't that way anymore

    You've gotta get out gotta get away
    But you're in with a clique it's not easy to stray
    You've gotta admit you're just living a lie
    It didn't take long to workout why

    It's hard to say why you got involved
    Just waiting to be part, just waiting to belong...

    Some of the things that you've done you feel so ashamed
    After all it's only a game... isn't it ?
    And after all the adrenalin's gone
    What you gonna do on Monday ?

    A weekend warrior lately
    A weekend warrior sometimes
    A weekend warrior maybe you were never like that at all.

    Our youth have misguided beliefs. In the pursuit of being "cool," they either end up dead, in jail or in rehab. In keeping with this theme of memories, if you will, this theme of lyrical magic with a touch of love, I simply have to revrt to John Lennon and "My life," he too had memories of friends that died but he paid his tribute to his 'other half of the sky' Yoko: I love this song!!!

    "There are places I'll remember
    All my life, though some have changed
    Some forever, not for better
    Some have gone and some remain
    All these places had their moments
    With lovers and friends, I still can recall
    Some are dead and some are living
    In my life, I've loved them all

    But of all these friends and lovers
    There is no one compares with you
    And these memories lose their meaning
    When I think of love as something new
    Though I know I'll never lose affection
    For people and things that went before
    I know I'll often stop and think about them
    In my life, I'll love you more

    Though I know I'll never lose affection
    For people and things that went before
    I know I'll often stop and think about them
    In my life, I'll love you more"

    I've made my choice! I've rededicated my life to the Lord. My liege, his Majesty.So, I'm in "his majesties secret service."
