How cool would this really be...

Happy birthday Johnny Cash

You hang on my basement wall and say fuck off to all! HA!!!

Tuesday Afternoon by the Moody Blues

Tuesday busy ass afternoon....Fun version of this song. Love the chick jammin in the audience!!! "If you'll just come with me you'll see the beauty of Tuesday afternoon, Tuesday afternoon..."

Tuesday afternoon,
I'm just beginning to see, now I'm on my way
It doesn't matter to me, chasing the clouds away.

Something, calls to me,
The trees are drawing me near, I've got to find out why?
Those gentle voices I hear, explain it all with a sigh.

I'm looking at myself reflections of my mind,
It's just the kind of day to leave myself behind.
So gently swaying through the fairyland of love,
If you'll just come with me you'll see the beauty of

Tuesday afternoon, Tuesday afternoon.

Tuesday, afternoon,
I'm just beginning to see, now I'm on my way.
It doesn't matter to me, chasing the clouds away.

Something, calls to me,
The trees are drawing me near, I've got to find out why?
Those gentle voices I hear, explain it all with a sigh.

Alice in Chains at the Tower 2010

HA! Totally found the picture Lauren!!! I can bank on it that you are hating me right about now! YBFFA circa 1992

Nutshell by Alice in Chains

Saw what was of them at the Tower maybe twoish years ago and they rocked! Thanks for pushing me to go Laurs! The concert was far from unplugged and ridiculously loud, in a good way... Don't know too much of their music, but always willing to try something out of my norm. "And yet I fight this battle all alone, No one to cry to..."

We chase misprinted lies 
We face the path of time 
And yet I fight 
And yet I fight 
This battle all alone 
No one to cry to 
No place to call home 

Oooh... Oooh...
Oooh... Oooh...

My gift of self is raped
My privacy is raked
And yet I find
And yet I find 
Repeating in my head 
If I can't be my own 
I'd feel better dead 

Oooh... Oooh...
Oooh... Oooh...

State of Love and Trust by Pearl Jam

SUNDAY FUNDAY!!!! Need to hear it loud this morning:) "Oh help me, help me from myself, And I listen to the voice inside my head, NOTHING, I'll do this one myself..."

State of love and trust as I busted down the pretext
Sin still plays and preaches, but to have an empty court, uh huh
And the signs are passin',
Grip the wheel, can't read it
Sacrifice receiving the smell that's on my hands, hands, yeah

And I listen for the voice inside my head
Nothin', I'll do this one myself

Lay her down as priest does,
Should the Lord be accountin'
Will be in my honor, make it pain, painfully quick, uh huh
Promises are whispered
In the age of darkness
Want to be enlightened like I want to be told the end, end, yeah

And the barrel shakes aimed a directly at my head
Oh, help me, help me from myself
And I listen for the voice inside my head
Nothin', I'll do this one myself
Myself, myself

Hey, na na na na, hey that's something
Hey, na na na na, hey that's something
Hey, na na na na, hey that's something
Wanna back, back it away, yeah

And I listen, yeah, for the voice inside my head
Nothin', I'll do this one myself
Oh, ah, and the barrel waits, trigger shakes
Aimed right at my head, won't you help me
Help me from myself

State of love and trust, and a
State of love and trust, and a
State of love and trust, and a
State of love and yeah yeah

Promises by Eric Clapton

Jamming while doing laundry. This is the best version of this song. Even better then the live ones in my humble opinion. Perfect effing song! "I got a woman calling love hate, we made a vow that we'd always be friends, how could we of known that promises end..."


I don't care if you never come home
I don't mind if you just keep on rowin' away on a distant sea
Cus I don't love you and you don't love me

You cause a commotion when you come to town
You give 'em a smile and they melt
And your lovers and friends is all good and fine
But I don't like yours and you don't like mine

La la la la la la
La la la la la la la la

I don't care what you do at night
Oh, I don't care how you get you delites
We'll leave it alone and just let it be 
I don't love you and you don't love me

I got a problem can you relate
I got a woman callin' love hate
We made a vow we'd always be friends
How could we know that promises end

I tried to love for years upon years
You refuse to take me for real
It's time you saw what I want you to see
I'd still love you if you'd just love me

The Man Who Sold the World by Nirvana

We passed upon the stare
We spoke of was and when
Although I wasn't there
He said I was his friend 
Which came as a surprise 
I spoke into his eyes 
I thought you died alone 
A long long time ago 

Oh no, not me 
We never lost control 
You're face to face 
With The Man Who Sold The World 

I laughed and shook his hand 
And made my way back home 
I searched for form and land 
For years and years I roamed 
I gazed a gazeless stare 
We walked a million hills
I must have died alone
A long, long time ago 

Who knows? 
Not me 
We never lost control 
You're face to face 
With the Man who Sold the World


Who knows?
Not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the Man who Sold the World

Miss Nirvana!

Wish he was still alive!

Knight in White Satin by The Moody Blues

Nights in white satin,
Never reaching the end,
Letters I've written,
Never meaning to send.

Beauty I'd always missed
With these eyes before,
Just what the truth is
I can't say anymore.

'Cause I love you,
Yes, I love you,
Oh, how, I love you.

Gazing at people,
Some hand in hand,
Just what I'm going thru
They can understand.

Some try to tell me
Thoughts they cannot defend,
Just what you want to be
You will be in the end,

And I love you,
Yes, I love you,
Oh, how, I love you.
Oh, how, I love you.

Nights in white satin,
Never reaching the end,
Letters I've written,
Never meaning to send.

Beauty I'd always missed
With these eyes before,
Just what the truth is
I can't say anymore.

'Cause I love you,
Yes, I love you,
Oh, how, I love you.
Oh, how, I love you.

'Cause I love you,
Yes, I love you,
Oh, how, I love you.
Oh, how, I love you.

Jimi

Wow!

I will be trying to find a copy of this:)

Standing on the Moon by the Grateful Dead

My favorite love song of all time:) "standing on the moon but I would rather be with you..."

Standing on the moon
I got no cobweb on my shoe
Standing on the moon
I'm feeling so alone and blue
I see the Gulf of Mexico
As tiny as a tear
The coast of California
Must be somewhere over here - over here

Standing on the moon
I see the battle rage below
Standing on the moon
I see the soldiers come and go
There's a metal flag beside me
Someone planted long ago
Old Glory standing stiffly
Crimson, white and indigo - indigo

I see all of Southeast Asia
I can see El Salvador
I hear the cries of children
And the other songs of war
It's like a mighty melody
That rings down from the sky
Standing here upon the moon 
I watch it all roll by

Standing on the moon
I see a shadow on the sun
Standing on the moon
The stars go fading one by one
I hear a cry of victory
And another of defeat
A scrap of age-old lullaby
Down some forgotten street

Standing on the moon
Where talk is cheap and vision true
Standing on the moon
But I would rather be with you
Somewhere in San Francisco
On a back porch in July
Just looking up to heaven
At this crescent in the sky

Standing on the moon
With nothing left to do
A lovely view of heaven
But I'd rather be with you - be with you

Melt With You by Modern English

Happy V day. I personally think it is a ridiculous holiday but that's just me;)

Moving forward using all my breath 
Making love to you was never second best 
I saw the world crashing all around your face 
Never really knowing it was always mesh and lace

I'll stop the world and melt with you 
You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time 
And there's nothing you and I won't do 
I'll stop the world and melt with you 

Dream of better lives the kind which never hate 
Trapped in a state of imaginary grace 
I made a pilgrimage to save this human's race
Never comprehending a race that's long gone by 

(Let's stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you
(Let's stop the world) You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time
And there's nothing you and I won't do
(Let's stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you

The future's open wide 

I'll stop the world and melt with you
(I'll stop the world) You've seen some changes and it's getting better all the time
And there's nothing you and I won't do
(I'll stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you

The future's open wide

hmmm hmmm hmmm
hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm
hmmm hmmm hmmm
hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm

I'll stop the world and melt with you
(I'll stop the world) You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time
And there's nothing you and I won't do
(I'll stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you

I'll stop the world and melt with you (I'll stop the world and melt with you)
I'll stop the world and melt with you (I'll stop the world and melt with you)

Fun

I'd Love to Change the World by Ten Years After

Crazy how 43 years later and this song is still extremely on point..."Life is funny, skies are sunny..."

Everywhere is freaks and hairies
Dykes and fairies
Tell me where is sanity

Tax the rich, feed the poor 
Till there are no rich no more 

I'd love to change the world 
But I don't know what to do 
So I'll leave it up to you 

Population keeps on breeding
Nation bleeding, still more feeding economy 

Life is funny, skies are sunny 
Bees make honey, who needs money, monopoly 

I'd love to change the world
But I don't know what to do
So I'll leave it up to you

World pollution, there's no solution 
Institution, electrocution 
Just black and white, rich or poor 
Them and us, stop the war 

I'd love to change the world
But I don't know what to do
So I'll leave it up to you

A Team by Ed Sheeran

Holy hell this is a sad song! Pretty but really depressing. "For angels to fly, An angel will die..."

White lips, pale face
Breathing in snowflakes
Burnt lungs, sour taste
Light's gone, day's end
Struggling to pay rent
Long nights, strange men

And they say
She's in the Class A Team
Stuck in her daydream
Been this way since 18
But lately her face seems
Slowly sinking, wasting
Crumbling like pastries
And they scream
The worst things in life come free to us
Cos she's just under the upperhand
Go mad for a couple grams
And she don't want to go outside tonight
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland
Or sells love to another man
It's too cold outside
For angels to fly
Angels to fly

Ripped gloves, raincoat
Tried to swim, stay afloat
Dry house, wet clothes
Loose change, bank notes
Weary-eyed, dry throat
Call girl, no phone

And they say
She's in the Class A Team
Stuck in her daydream
Been this way since 18
But lately her face seems
Slowly sinking, wasting
Crumbling like pastries
And they scream
The worst things in life come free to us
Cos she's just under the upperhand
And go mad for a couple grams
And she don't want to go outside tonight
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland
Or sells love to another man
It's too cold outside
For angels to fly
An angel will die
Covered in white
With closed eyes
And hoping for a better life
This time, we'll fade out tonight
Straight down the line

Straight down the line


And they say
She's in the Class A Team
Stuck in her daydream
Been this way since 18
But lately her face seems
Slowly sinking, wasting
Crumbling like pastries
They scream
The worst things in life come free to us
And we are all under the upperhand
And go mad for a couple grams
And we don't want to go outside tonight
And in a pipe we fly to the Motherland
Or sell love to another man
It's too cold outside
For angels to fly
Angels to fly
To fly, fly
Angels to fly,
To fly, to fly
For angels to die

Bob Marley Grammy Tribute

Bob Marley tribute starts at 4 minutes. So happy that every person watching the Grammies got to see how great a musician Bob Marley was and how he influenced so many people. Not only in his music does he live on, but his beliefs on peace as well.

Behind Blue Eyes by the Who

The Who rocks. I remember my Poppop took me to see Tommy on Broadway when I was like ten maybe. I guess I have always been bound to the music I love..."But my dreams they aren't as empty as my conscious seems to be..."

No one knows what it's like 
To be the bad man 
To be the sad man 
Behind blue eyes 

No one knows what it's like
To be hated
To be fated
To telling only lies

But my dreams 
They aren't as empty 
As my conscience seems to be 
I have hours, only lonely 
My love is vengeance 
That's never free 

No one knows what it's like 
To feel these feelings 
Like I do 
And I blame you! 

No one bites back as hard 
On their anger 
None of my pain and woe 
Can show through 

But my dreams
They aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free

When my fist clenches, crack it open 
Before I use it and lose my cool 
When I smile, tell me some bad news 
Before I laugh and act like a fool 

And If I swallow anything evil 
Put your finger down my throat 
And If I shiver, please give me a blanket 
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat 

No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes

Lively Up Yourself by Bob Marley

Still celebrating his birthday just because.

I know this guy:)

Pretty cool huh:)

Stir it Up by Bob Marley

Happy Birthday Bob Marley! This is the first musician I introduced my kids to!!! I have taught two of his songs to my preschoolers. Can't beat teaching a kid about music and peace at the same time..."I'll push the wood, Then I blaze ya fire; Then I'll satisfy your heart's desire, Said, I stir it every minute, All you got to do, baby, Is keep it in, eh!"

Stir it up; little darlin', stir it up. 
Come on, baby.
Come on and stir it up: little darlin', stir it up. O-oh!

It's been a long, long time, yeah!
Since I got you on my mind.
Now you are here, I said, it's so clear
To see what we could do, baby, 
Just me and you.

Come on and stir it up; ..., little darlin'!
Stir it up; come on, baby!
Come on and stir it up, yeah!
Little darlin', stir it up! O-oh!

I'll push the wood 
Then I blaze ya fire;
Then I'll satisfy your heart's desire. 
Said, I stir it every minute
All you got to do, baby, 
Is keep it in, eh!

Stir it up little darlin'
Come on and stir it up, oh-oh-oh!
Little darlin', stir it up! Wo-oh! Mm, now, now.

Quench me when I'm thirsty;
Come on and cool me down, baby, when I'm hot. 
Your recipe is, - darlin' - is so tasty,
When you show and stir your pot.

So: stir it up, oh!
Little darlin', stir it up; wo, now!
Come on and stir it up, oh-ah!
Little darlin', stir it up!

Oh, little darlin', stir it up. Come on, babe!
Come on and stir it up, wo-o-a!
Little darlin', stir it up! Stick with me, baby!
Come on, come on and stir it up, oh-oh!
Little darlin', stir it up

Rocky Raccoon by the Beatles

Fitting to have this song playing when I got back to my car after sitting in jury duty yesterday for 10 hours wasting my precious time:)

Now somewhere in the black mountain hills of Dakota
There lived a young boy named Rocky Raccoon
And one day his woman ran off with another guy
Hit young Rocky in the eye
Rocky didn't like that
He said I'm gonna get that boy
So one day he walked into town
Booked himself a room in the local saloon

Rocky Raccoon checked into his room
Only to find Gideon's bible
Rocky had come equipped with a gun
To shoot off the legs of his rival
His rival it seems had broken his dreams
By stealing the girl of his fancy
Her name was Magil and she called herself Lil
But everyone knew her as Nancy
Now she and her man who called himself Dan
Were in the next room at the hoe down
Rocky burst in and grinning a grin
He said Danny boy this is a showdown
But Daniel was hot, he drew first and shot
And Rocky collapsed in the corner, ah

D'da d'da d'da da da da
D'da d'da d'da da da da
D'da d'da d'da da d'da d'da d'da d'da
Do do do do do do

D'do d'do d'do do do do
D'do d'do d'do do do do
D'do d'do d'do do do d'do d'do d'do d'do
Do do do do do do

Now the doctor came in stinking of gin
And proceeded to lie on the table
He said Rocky you met your match
And Rocky said, doc it's only a scratch 
And I'll be better I'll be better doc as soon as I am able 

And now Rocky Raccoon he fell back in his room
Only to find Gideon's bible
Gideon checked out and he left it no doubt
To help with good Rocky's revival, ah
Oh yeah, yeah

D'do d'do d'do do do do
D'do d'do d'do do do do
D'do d'do d'do do do d'do d'do d'do d'do
Do do do do do do

D'do d'do d'do do do do, come on, Rocky boy
D'do d'do d'do do do do, come on, Rocky boy
D'do d'do d'do do do d'do d'do d'do d'do

Who You Are by Pearl Jam

I absolutely effing love Pearl Jam!!!!  Gets me all riled up:) So glad no one actually reads this nonsense ) "What's your part? Who you are, You are who, who you are.."


Come to send, not condescend
Transcendental consequence
Is to transcend where we are
Who are we? Who you are

Trampled moss on your souls
Changes all you're a part
Seen it all, not at all
Can't defend fucked up man

Take me a for a ride before we leave...

Circumstance, clapping hands
Driving winds, happenstance
Off the track, in the mud
That's the moss in the aforementioned verse

Just a little time, before we leave...

Stop light, plays its part
So I would say you've got a part
What's your part? Who you are
You are who, who you are

...

Boots of Spanish Leather performed by the Lumineers

What an absolutely beautiful sad song!!! Such a true love story..."Oh, but if I had the stars from the darkest night, And the diamonds from the deepest ocean, I'd forsake them all for your sweet kiss, For that's all I'm wishin' to be ownin'."

Oh I'm sailin' away my own true love
I'm sailin' away in the morning
Is there something I can send you from across the sea
From the place that I'll be landing ?

No, there's nothin' you can send me, my own true love
There's nothin' I wish to be ownin'
Just carry yourself back to me unspoiled
From across that lonesome ocean.

Oh, but I just thought you might want something fine
Made of silver or of golden
Either from the mountains of Madrid
Or from the coast of Barcelona ?

Oh, but if I had the stars from the darkest night
And the diamonds from the deepest ocean
I'd forsake them all for your sweet kiss
For that's all I'm wishin' to be ownin'.

That I might be gone a long time
And it's only that I'm askin'
Is there something I can send you to remember me by
To make your time more easy passin' ?

Oh, how can, how can you ask me again
It only brings me sorrow
The same thing I would want today
I would want again tomorrow.

I got a letter on a lonesome day
It was from her ship a-sailin'
Saying I don't know when I'll be comin' back again
It depends on how I'm a-feelin'.

Well, if you, my love, must think that-a-way
I'm sure your mind is roamin'
And I'm sure your heart is not with me
But with the country to where you're goin'.

So take heed, take heed of the western wind
Take heed of the stormy weather
And yes, there's something you can send back to me
Spanish boots of Spanish leather.

Mr. Tambourine Man by Bob Dylan

Look how far we have come in music!!! What an effing fun song! Never really sat down and read the lyrics before today! Love them:) "Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free
Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands, With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves, Let me forget about today until tomorrow..."

Hey Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
Hey Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.

Though I know that evenin's empire has returned into sand
Vanished from my hand
Left me blindly here to stand but still not sleeping
My weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feet
I have no one to meet
And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming.

Hey Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to 
Hey Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.

Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship
My senses have been stripped, 
My hands can't feel to grip
My toes too numb to step, 
wait only for my boot heels to be wanderin'
I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade
Into my own parade, 
Cast your dancing spell my way
I promise to go under it.

Hey Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to 
Hey Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.

Though you might hear laughin'
Spinnin' swingin' madly across the sun
It's not aimed at anyone, it's just escapin' on the run
And but for the sky there are no fences facin'
And if you hear vague traces of skippin' reels of rhyme
To your tambourine in time, it's just a ragged clown behind
I wouldn't pay it any mind, it's just a shadow you're
Seein' that he's chasing.

Hey Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to 
Hey Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.

Then take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind
Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves
The haunted, frightened trees, out to the windy beach
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free
Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands
With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves
Let me forget about today until tomorrow.

Hey Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to 
Hey Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.
