That's Why It's Called A Moment of Truth

Normally I do the blog toward the end of the day but I knew as soon as the song came on it was the song for the day for me. This song the words are so powerful & the music is mesmerizing ... So here it is...

Soldier by Gavin Degraw~

 La da da da da da, la da da da da [x2]

Where did all the people go?
They got scared when the lights went low.
I'll get you through it nice and slow,
When the world's spinning out of control.

Afraid of what they might lose
Might get scraped or they might get bruised.
You could beg them, what's the use?
That's why it's called a moment of truth

I'll get it if you need it,
I'll search if you don't see it,
You're thirsty, I'll be rain,
You get hurt, I'll take your pain.

I know you don't believe it,
But I said it and I still mean it,
When you heard what I told you,
When you get worried I'll be your soldier.

Funny when times get hard,
At the last moment when you're supposed to charge,
Always on the longest yard,
Oh, they feel their feet getting cold.

Hiding here, hiding there,
Find them underneath the stairs,
People hiding everywhere,
Trying to be still like a stone.

I'll get it if you need it,
I'll search if you can't see it,
You're thirsty, I'll be rain,
You get hurt, I'll take your pain.

I know you don't believe it,
But I said it and I still mean it,
When you heard what I told you,
When you get worried I'll be your soldier.

My aim is so true,
I wanna show you,
I'll try forever,
I'm never gonna say "surrender".

I'll get it if you need it,
I'll search if you can't see it,
You're thirsty, I'll be rain,
You get hurt, I'll take your pain.

I know you don't believe it,
But I said it and I still mean it,
When you heard what I told you,
When you get worried I'll be your soldier.

I'll be your soldier
Well I'll be, oh I'll be your soldier
I'll be your soldier
I'll be your soldier

La ra la ra ra ra, la ra la ra ra [x2]

How many of us ever really win the fight~

Sometimes i have those days where I just wanna go back to when I was a young girl & be around my family the way we used to be, & feel safe & secure in that bubble... But of course I know that's not possible, I can never go back. The closest I will ever get is listening to the songs I grew up with... The songs that pulled me through broken hearts, the songs that remind me of how things used to be... Today that's all I wanted... To be back in my house on Buckingham with my family safe & happy... So the only way to feel even a glimpse of that is the song for today... So many memories flood back with every note, & every word...

Night & Day by Bette Midler ~

Ohhhhhhh.
Maybe you and I see life with two different visions,
and neither one of us is wrong or right.
And maybe we're too serious and don't wanna listen.
I just wanna make you laugh tonight.

We're like day and night, night and day.
We are both so different in so many ways.
We're like night and day, day and night,
and we go together just like black and white.

Seems you're always out one door when I'm in the other.
It's so hard to find some quiet time.
(So hard to find the time)
Wish that we could spend our lives alone with each other,
and never think about the world outside.

We're like day and night, night and day.
We are oh, so different in so many ways.
We're like night and day, day and night.
Still we know it's gonna be all right.

And if we never really get the picture right,
how many of us ever really win the fight?
I never want to lose your love,
or let the distance get the best of us,
'cause time is moving fast enough!

Maybe we don't always share a common opinion.
It's true that you and I don't think alike.
But when I look into your eyes and all is forgiven,
(all is forgiven)
all I wanna do is hold you tight.

We're like day and night, night and day.
We are both so different in so many ways.
We're like night and day, day and night.
Still we know it's gonna be all right.
We're like night and day, day and night.
We go together just like black and white.

We're like, we're like, we're like, we're like
day and night, night and day,
day and night, night and day.
We're like, we're like, we're like
day and night, night and day.
Like black and white.

Leave all your love & longing behind

I love Florence + The Machine the group is amazing!! There isn't a song i don't like of there's...
The beat always feels 100% right on of what I'm hoping comes with the words! So the song for today is a Florence song...

Dog Days Are Over by Florence + The Machine~

Happiness hit her like a train on a track
Coming towards her stuck still no turning back
She hid around corners and she hid under beds
She killed it with kisses and from it she fled
With every bubble she sank with her drink
And washed it away down the kitchen sink

The dog days are over
The dog days are done
The horses are coming
So you better run

Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father
Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your love and your longing behind
You can't carry it with you if you want to survive

The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses?
'Cause here they come

And I never wanted anything from you
Except everything you had and what was left after that too, oh
Happiness hit her like a bullet in the back
Struck from a great height by someone who should know better than that

The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses?
'Cause here they come

Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father
Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your love and your longing behind
You can't carry it with you if you want to survive

The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses?
'Cause here they come

The dog days are over
The dog days are done
The horses are coming
So you better run

My Head Is A Jungle...

Today's song was so easy to find & so soothing to hear...
The song has the perfect tempo, slow & patient one moment & racing the next! Exactly sums up my day! & The lyrics speak straight to my soul today...


 Jungle by Emma Louise~

 In a dark room we fight, make up for our love.
I've been thinking, thinking about you, about us.
And we're moving slow, our hearts beat so fast.
I've been dreaming, dreaming about you, about us.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.
My head is a jungle, jungle,
My head is a jungle, jungle,
My head is a jungle, jungle,
My head, oh.

I was speaking soft, see the pain in your eyes,
I've been feeling, feeling for you, my love.
And our bodies are tired, our shadows will dance,
I've been aching, aching for you, my love.

My head is a jungle, jungle,
My head is a jungle, jungle,
My head is a jungle, jungle,
My head, oh.

My love is wasted, sorry for this I never meant to be, hurting ourselves, hurting ourselves
And I'm complicated, you won't get me out of trouble, understanding myself, understanding myself
And my love is wasted, sorry for this I never meant to be, hurting ourselves, hurting ourselves
And I'm complicated, you won't get me out of trouble, understanding myself, understanding myself

My head is a jungle, jungle,
My head is a jungle, jungle,
My head is a jungle, jungle,
My head, oh, oh, oh, oh oh...

I Was Looking For A Breath Of Life~

Sorry I've been gone so long, I had a death in the family so I had to spend sometime with my family...but life moves on right...Even if you feel like your barely hanging on...
So I'm back & ready to give you the song of the day... Hope you enjoy it!!!

Breath Of Life by Florence + The Machine~

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

I was looking for a breath of life
For a little touch of heavenly light
But all the choirs in my head say, no oh oh

To get a dream of life again
A little vision of the sight at the end
But all the choirs in my head say, no oh oh

But I would need one more touch
Another taste of heavenly rush
And I believe, I believe it so oh oh oh

And I would need one more touch
Another taste of divine rush
And I believe, I believe it so oh oh oh

Who's side am I on? Who's side am I?
Who's side am I on? Who's side am I?
Who's side am I on? Who's side am I?

And the fever begins to spread
From my heart down to my legs
But the room is so quiet, oh oh oh

And although I was losing my mind
It was a call that was so sublime
But the room is so quiet, oh oh oh

I was looking for a breath of life
A little touch of heavenly light
But all the choirs in my head say, no oh oh

To get a dream of life again
A little vision of the sight at the end
But all the choirs in my head say, no oh oh

[Instrumental]

It's a long way and it's come from paper
And I always say, We should be together
I can see the look, because this song has ended
And if you are gone, I will not be long (Be long, be long, be long)

And I started to hear it again but this time it wasn't the end
And the room is so quiet, oh oh oh

And my heart is the heart of a life
For the devil to dance again
And the room is too quiet

I was looking for the breath of a life
A little touch of a heavenly life
But all the choirs in my head say no, oh oh

Empty Words...

Today I felt so unreal, all I felt was complete numbness... Music is my only escape right now...the only thing that keeps me calm...

On Fire by Switchfoot~

They tell you where you need to go
They tell you when you'll need to leave
They tell you what you need to know
They tell you who you need to be

But everything inside you knows
There's more than what you've heard
There's so much more than empty conversations
Filled with empty words

And you're on fire
When He's near you
You're on fire
When He speaks
You're on fire
Burning at these mysteries

Give me one more time around
Give me one more chance to see
Give me everything You are
Give me one more chance to be... (near You)

Cause everything inside me looks like
Everything I hate
You are the hope I have for change
You are the only chance I'll take

When I'm on fire
When You're near me
I'm on fire
When You speak
And I'm on fire
Burning at these mysteries
These mysteries...

I'm standing on the edge of me [x3]
I'm standing on the edge of everything I've never been before.
And i've been standing on the edge of me
Standing on the edge

And I'm on fire
When You're near me
I'm on fire
When You speak
(Yea) I'm on fire
Burning at these mysteries... these mysteries... these mysteries
Ah you're the mystery
You're the mystery

They Say Life Carries On...

Today is a sad day for me...I lost someone close to me today... So the song fits my mood exactly today... The lyrics say exactly what I'm going through... I've been playing this song over & over since I got the news...

I Grieve by Peter Gabriel~

it was only one hour ago
it was all so different then
there's nothing yet has really sunk in
looks like it always did
this flesh and bone
it's just the way that you would tied in
now there's no-one home

i grieve for you
you leave me
'so hard to move on
still loving what's gone
they say life carries on
carries on and on and on and on

the news that truly shocks is the empty empty page
while the final rattle rocks its empty empty cage
and i can't handle this

i grieve for you
you leave me
let it out and move on
missing what's gone
they say life carries on
they say life carries on and on and on

life carries on
in the people i meet
in everyone that's out on the street
in all the dogs and cats
in the flies and rats
in the rot and the rust
in the ashes and the dust
life carries on and on and on and on
life carries on and on and on

it's just the car that we ride in
a home we reside in
the face that we hide in
the way we are tied in
and life carries on and on and on and on
life carries on and on and on

did I dream this belief?
or did i believe this dream?
now i can find relief
i grieve
