Music reflects life, Life reflects music...

In a positive way, I had a life changing day today. I accomplished a major goal I've been working on for 5 years. Right now I am sooooo happy!

Sitting here wasted and wounded
At this old piano
Trying hard to capture
The moment this morning I don't know
'Cause a bottle of vodka
Is still lodged in my head
And some blonde gave me nightmares
I think that she's still in my bed
As I dream about movies
They won't make of me when I'm dead
With an ironclad fist I wake up and
French kiss the morning
While some marching band keeps
Its own beat in my head
While we're talking
About all of the things that I long to believe
About love and the truth and
What you mean to me
And the truth is baby you're all that I need
I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonite I sleep on a bed of nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses
Well I'm so far away
That each step that I take is on my way home
A king's ransom in dimes I'd given each night
Just to see through this payphone
Still I run out of time
Or it's hard to get through
Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you
I'll just close my eyes and whisper,
Baby blind love is true
I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonite I sleep on a bed of nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses
The hotel bar hangover whiskey's gone dry
The barkeeper's wig's crooked
And she's giving me the eye
I might have said yeah
But I laughed so hard I think I died
Now as you close your eyes
Know I'll be thinking about you
While my mistress she calls me
To stand in her spotlight again
Tonite I won't be alone
But you know that don't
Mean I'm not lonely I've got nothing to prove
For it's you that I'd die to defend
I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonite I sleep on a bed of nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses

Truly Great topic doc. There is no feeling quite as powerful as being at a live show. The overwhelming rush of adrenaline. hearing...feeling thousands of ppl yelling, screaming, cheering. Wow so much energy floating around. I almost always leave concerts totally exhausted. Sadly it has been many years since seeing a live show. I hope to change that this year.

Two songs that have a lot of meaning and memories to me.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hthj9KZrgpo This song reminds me of two of my best friends. One would frequently say "catch ya on the flip side" he and I went to a PJ concert in 2000.

The other was living life pretty fast but in a good way. Both were killed in accidents a little over a year apart. One on a motorcycle less than three blocks from his house. the other less than a mile from my house. All the while I was struggling with a very powerful addiction. Typing and listening to this makes me cry thinking about it. A tuff time indeed.

I listen to this and it makes me think tomorrow is a new day.

Unplugged is by far the best version of these songs.

..And yet I fight
And yet I fight
This battle all alone
No one to cry to
No place to call home

Seen these guys several times. Scotty used to be a heluva frontman. Very entertaining stage antics. Not so much anymore from what I've heard. He played locally a few months ago. A few friends went to see him the show sucked they said, and they were with me at the previous tours.

...And I feel that time's a-wasting, go
So where ya going 'til tommorrow?
And I see that these are lies to come
So would you even care?

...And I feel, so much depends on the weather
So is it raining in your bedroom?
And I see, that these are the eyes of disarray
Would you even care?

edit: sorry for the ad at the beginning of the first one.

ya, that's me too sometimes..

I love it when music gives me goosebumps and kind of an uneasy feeling in my stomach. Not uneasy in a bad way, almost like you are somehow harnessing some of the energy given off by the flow of lyrics and sound but your body doesn't know how to use it. I blew a speaker in my truck creating my own private concert to good music.

This chick can sure belt it man. Really like this song.

.. theres a fire starting in my heart
reaching a fever pitch it's bringin me out the dark

The scars of your love, remind me of us
they keep me thinking that we almost had it all

The scars of your love they leave me breathless
I can't help thinking...

we could have had it all
rolling in the deep
you had my heart inside of your hand
and you played it... to the beat


It reminds me of being at the beach riding bikes half drunk on the boardwalk. There was a street performing band covering it well. A good image that I will never forget.

This is one of those songs that once it's in my head I can't get out....It's one of my all time faves. I love songs that have a bit of a bounce to them.



Wise men say only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay
Would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you

Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you

Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you
For I can't help falling in love with you

Yes, ub40 is the version I had in mind...that's why I mentioned the bounce in the music

As for your post, this song and video has also been near and dear to my heart. I use to be a potter many years ago, I had to sell my wheel but hope to buy one back again some day. This really makes me miss it. Truth be told, Demi has no idea how to pot but it's still such a sexy and beautiful scene. love it!

G'morning all, it's a beautiful day here today, the sun is shining and I'm feeling happy and alive
I got this song "Sunshine" by Nazareth in my head today. In my opinion, this band was under recognized, I loved their music in the 80's.

One last tune for the day..

music reflects life,... life reflects music..

Cruizin in the summertime w/the top down. Some good smoke and good friends. Nowhere to go and all day to get there.

Good times good times

Heard this song on the radio a few years back. The beat and guitar grabbed me. One of those songs that is full of energy and emotion. I immediately added it to my Itunes. I never saw the video until now. Not exactly what I expected.

Dr. G, hereshegrows, and joe, your all posting awesome tunes. Just about every song in this thread brings me way up...or way down. It seems to be a thread of songs with extreme lyrics. I guess that's the reality of life, as reflected by music.

[video=youtube;SuFScoO4tb0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuFScoO4tb0[/video]

Honesty is such a lonely word.
Everyone is so untrue.
Honesty is hardly ever heard.
And mostly what I need from you.

I can always find someone
to say they sympathize.
If I wear my heart out on my sleeve.
But I don't want some pretty face
to tell me pretty lies.
All I want is someone to believe.

hey thanks for sharing gang! loving the tunes as well.. thanks for following the thread y'all. and continue sharing I love it!



. thanks for viewing,.... music reflects life, life reflects music.

I'm off to bed, good night fellow posters...I love the tunes. Here's one from one of my favourite Canadian Artists, I'm not sure he gets much play your way. This guys really gets into his music.



Hold On I'll Be Back For You It Won't Be Long
But For Now There's Something There That's Calling Me
So Take Me Down That Lonesome Road
Point Me East And Let Me Go
This Suitcase Weighs Me Down With Memories

I Just Want To Be The One You Run To
I Just Want To Be The One You Come To
I Just Want To Be There With Someone When The Night Comes
Lets Put All Our Cares Behind Us
And Go Where They'll Never Find Us
I Just Want To Be There Beside You
When The Night Comes
When The Night Comes

Two Spirits In The Night
We Can Leave Before The Morning Light
When There's Nothing Left To Lose
And Nothing Left To Fear
So Meet Me On The Edge Of Town
Won't Keep You Waiting I'll Be Around
Then You And I Will Just Roll Right Out Of Here

I Just Want To Be The One You Run To
I Just Want To Be The One You Come To
I Just Want To Be With Someone When The Night Comes
Lets Put All Our Cares Behind Us
And Go Where They'll Never Find Us
I Just Want To Be There Beside You
When The Night Comes
When The Night Comes

I Know There Will Be A Time For You And I
Just Take My Hand And Run Away
Pick Up All The Pieces Of This Shattered Dream
We'll Make It Out Some Day
We'll Be Coming Back To Stay

I Want To Be The One You Run To
To Be The One You Come To
I Want To Be The One You Run To

I Want To Be The One You Run To
I Want To Be The One You Come To
I Just Want To Be There With Someone
When The Night Comes
Lets Put All Our Cares Behind Us
And Go Where They'll Never Find Us
I Just Want To Be There Beside You
When The Night Comes
When The Night Comes
