Another Moment...Another Day

Everybody seems to be going through loss right now... Those poor families in Connecticut (Our Prayers are with you); The people in Portland, Or going Christmas shopping @ the mall... I'm sure there are plenty others as well. My heart still aches for my loss... I can't imagine how anyone else is handling there loss of a friend, parents, sibling, child... etc... No one will ever understand someone else's grief... Everyone's is unique & everyone handles it differently... I'm still reeling from mine...It passes from moment to moment... I try to live & enjoy every positive thing that I get to experience...but I can't help but think about Tiffany every time... I know my blog is about music & there is a song at the end of the post...there always will be... That's because music is my saving grace! Its the glue that holds my together in time of crisis... Its how I get from one tough moment to the next... So getting the point...The song...
Its from my childhood...There are no lyrics to read so you have to watch the video...hope you enjoy...
I hope it bring a moment of peace to your heart as it does to mine...

And Now I Cling To What I Knew...

So tonights song is a continuation of yesterday's. The same theme... The loss of Tiffany... I feel so lost now that she's gone. I feel lost & confused with what's going on...She was getting better...She was recovering...I don't get it... I miss her...I miss the life that she wont have...My heart aches for the memories she wont have...The things she'll miss... Her daughter growing up, all those moments that a mom is supposed to see; she'll miss... I hate this... She was so young! I'm screaming inside! I hate this! I feel so lost now...like I'm wondering around in a dark forest & all the lights showing me out are gone... I don't know how I'm gonna get through this...but right now.. the main thing is music... The songs that get me from one moment to the next... This song is more important then words or a story will be able to explain... This song is for Tiffany... It is my link to her...

After The Storm by Mumford & Sons ~

And after the storm,
I run and run as the rains come
And I look up, I look up,
on my knees and out of luck,
I look up.

Night has always pushed up day
You must know life to see decay
But I won't rot, I won't rot
Not this mind and not this heart,
I won't rot.

And I took you by the hand
And we stood tall,
And remembered our own land,
What we lived for.

And there will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears.
And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears.
Get over your hill and see what you find there,
With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair.

And now I cling to what I knew
I saw exactly what was true
But oh no more.
That's why I hold,
That's why I hold with all I have.
That's why I hold.

And I won't die alone and be left there.
Well I guess I'll just go home,
Oh God knows where.
Because death is just so full and man so small.
Well I'm scared of what's behind and what's before.

And there will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears.
And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears.
Get over your hill and see what you find there,
With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair.

And there will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears.
And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears.
Get over your hill and see what you find there,
With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair.

God Have Mercy With Us All...

I feel like my life has been flipped upside down...  My cousin passed away December 8th, 2012. Since then nothing feels real... Everything seems upside down...It doesn't even feel like Christmas... Everything that was in my life prior is slowly slipping through my fingers... & worse yet I'm letting it... I just don't seem to care... I feel empty...So the song tonight if not really uplifting by any means, but it brings a sliver of peace to my crazy world right now...

Spring To My Kingdom by Flunk ~

Sleeping beauty, where have you been
You should know ­ I´m counting on you here

Feels like clouds beneath your wings
It is night, you see it as it is
It is dark, have mercy on us all
You should know ­ I´m counting on you here

His kiss, his kiss, his kiss... of spring

Let´s talk about the weather
And the snow
Falling from the heavens like crystal feather
The power of the powder
The silence screams louder
I feel cold!
This is a nation on hold
It´s the chill
Without the thrill
I´m waiting for spring to come to my kingdom

I manage to get down to the coffee shop
It´s the big freeze, I feel like a pork chop
Jesus it´s cold, must be a million below
Nowhere to go, and the snow still falling
Everything´s gone white
Still nothing looks bright
There´s no signs of daylight
Every day is like eternal night
I´m out of here soon
I might be back in June
It´s the chill
Without the thrill
I´m waiting for spring to come to my kingdom

God working on his kiss of life
God have mercy with us all
Working on the mercy of his kiss
You should know ­ we´re counting on you here
God working on his kiss
God working on his kiss of spring...

Black Sheep by Gin Wigmore ~

[Backing Vocals:]
Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

[Verse 1:]
I got lots of jealous lovers that all wish they had me back
Got a pistol for a mouth, my old mama gave me that
Making my own road out of gravel and some wine
And if I have to fall then it won't be in your line

[Pre-Chorus:]
Everybody's doing it so why the hell should I
Everybody's doing it so why the hell should I

[Chorus:]
I'm a bad woman to keep
Make me mad, I'm not here to please
Paint me in a corner but my colour comes back
Once you go black, you never go back
I'm a black sheep
I'm a black sheep

[Verse 2:]
I wasn't born a beauty queen but I'm okay with that
Maybe radio won't mind if I sing a little flat
I wear my boots to bed, hang a cross up on the wall
To save me from a shallow grave that wants to take us all

[Pre-Chorus:]
Everybody's doing it so why the hell should I
Everybody's doing it so why the hell should I

[Chorus:]
I'm a bad woman to keep
Make me mad, I'm not here to please
Paint me in a corner but my colour comes back
Once you go black, you never go back
I'm a black sheep
I'm a black sheep
I'm a black sheep
I'm a black sheep

[Repeat Verse 1:]
I got lots of jealous lovers that all wish they had me back
Got a pistol for a mouth, my old mama gave me that
Making my own road out of gravel and some wine
And if I have to fall then it won't be in your line

[Chorus:]
I'm a bad woman to keep
Make me mad, I'm not here to please
Paint me in a corner but my colour comes back
Once you go black, you never go back

[Outro:]
Once you go black, you never go back
Once you go black, you never go back
Once you go black, you never go back
Once you go black, you never go back

Twin Rocks, Oregon by Shawn Mullins ~


I met him on the cliffs 
Of twin rocks oregon 
He was sittin on his bedroll 
Lookin just like richard brautigan 
I thought he was an old man 
He wasn't but 37 
He said he'd been ridin trains 
For 15 years 
Drawin portraits 
To keep his belly full of beer 
And it looked to me like he'd died 
And missed the plane to heaven 
But he was a nice ol' guy 
For a younger man 
He had a bottle of mad dog 
He held in his hand 
That he waved around a lot 
To make his point 
And I listened as he told his tales 
Of wine and women and county jails 
And we finished off that bottle 
And smoked a half a joint 
He said "I came here to watch the sun 
Disappear into the ocean 
It's been years 
Since I smelled this salty sea" 
He turned his bottle up and down 
And I saw him lost 
And I saw him found 
He said "I don't know 
What i've been lookin for,maybe me..." 
Well, I told him I too had been 
Travelin around livin out of my van 
From town to town playin for tips 
And whatever records I could move 
I said "I don't reckon i'll be 
Makin it big, 
You know it's hard to get rich 
Off a tout of coffee house gigs" 
And he said "yeah, but ain't it a blessin 
To do what you wanna do..." 
And I told him "yeah, I pulled off here 
To watch the sun disappear into the ocean 
`cause it's been years 
Since I smelled this salty sea" 
And he turned his bottle up and down 
He saw me lost and he saw me found 
And I said 
"I don't know what I've been looking for, maybe me" 
I said "it's getting kind of late 
Better be heading down the interstate 
Can I give you a lift 
To san francisco bay?" 
He said "nope, I think I'm just 
Going to sit here and rest 
And maybe wait on the 
Tokyo-montana express 
I might just lay here 
And dream my life away 
I'm going to sit right here, 
I'm going to watch the sun 
Disappear into the ocean 
`cause it's been years, it's been years 
I'm gonna turn my bottle up and down 
You can see my lost 
And you can see my found" 
I met him on the cliffs 
Of twin rocks, oregon 
He was sitting on his bedroll 
Looking just like richard brautigan 
Just like him

I'm Shipping Out To Boston by Dropkick Murphys ~

I'm a sailor peg
And I've lost my leg
Climbing up the top sails
I lost my leg!

I'm shipping up to Boston whoa
I'm shipping up to Boston whoa
I'm shipping up to Boston whoa
I'm shipping off...to find my wooden leg

I'm a sailor peg
And I've lost my leg
Climbing up the top sails
I lost my leg!

I'm shipping up to Boston whoa
I'm shipping up to Boston whoa
I'm shipping up to Boston whoa
I'm shipping off...to find my wooden leg

Slam Dunk The Funk by 5IVE ~

Five bad boys with the power to rock you
Blowing your mind so you gotta get into
Five, whatcha waiting four if you wanna
Three (three)
Two (two)
One let's do it

Do you wanna get freaky
when the five of us make one
You gotta push the good vibe on
If you really wanna feel it
Got da flava in my song
But I really need to know

Do you wanna get down
Do you wanna get funky
Do you wanna get down
Get on down

[Chorus:]
Slam dunk da funk, put it up
(If you got that feeling)
Slam dunk da funk, put it up
(If you got that feeling)
Slam dunk da funk, put it up
(If you got that feeling)
Slam dunk da funk
(put it up)

You gotta shoot, pass, slam baby time to set it off
I'll be up, up away, above the rim and hook a shot
Ally oop, baby, whoop, there it is and now I gotcha
Three seconds left, it's just enuff for me to rock ya
Now check it, how I flip it rock a beat 'cause
I get with it and everybody wants to be the man
with a hey, yippee yo yippee four quarter slam
everybody grab a party and just get on down

Do you wanna get down
Do you wanna get funky
Do you wanna get down
Get on down

[Chorus:]
Slam dunk da funk, put it up
(If you got that feeling)
Slam dunk da funk, put it up
(If you got that feeling)
Slam dunk da funk, put it up
(If you got that feeling)
Slam dunk da funk
(put it up)

You wanna know what hits you like a fork lift truck
We got J, AB, Rich, Sean and Scott rocking the extra
Curricular ladies love particular fella
Who knock da meter get the boom shake regular
Five bad boys, honey no, we don't quit til we hit
The rebound sound with a kick
So come on everybody, everybody in tune
As I boomshake n' rock a body
Gimme room

Clap your hands
Stamp your feet
Push it in, pull it out to the beat

[Chorus:]
Slam dunk da funk, put it up
(If you got that feeling)
Slam dunk da funk, put it up
(If you got that feeling)
Slam dunk da funk, put it up
(If you got that feeling)
Slam dunk da funk
(put it up)
