Crosseyed and Painless by The Talking Heads

I prefer the Talking Heads version to Phish any day! This video is awesome and has just put me in the best mood!!! "Isn't it weird, sounds too absurd to me...The island of doubt, It's like the taste of medicine..."

Lost my shape-Trying to act casual! 
Can't stop-I might end up in the hospital 
I'm changing my shape-I feel like an accident 
They're back!-To explain their experience 

Isn't it weird, Sounds to absurd to me 
Wasting away/And that was their policy 

I'm ready to leave-I push the fact in front of me 
Facts lost-Facts are never what they seem to be 
Nothing there!-No information left of any kind 
Lifting my head-Looking for danger signs

There was a line, There was a formula
Sharp as a knife, Facts cut a hole in us
There was a line, There was a formula
Sharp as a knife, Facts cut a hole in us

I'm still waiting...I'm still waiting...I'm still waiting... 
I'm still waiting...I'm still waiting...I'm still waiting... 
I'm still waiting...I'm still waiting...

The feeling returns, Whenever we close out eyes 
Lifting my head, looking around inside 

The island of doubt-It's like the taste of medicine 
Working by hindsight-Got the message from the oxygen 
Making a list-Find the cost of opportunity
Doing it right-Facts are useless in emergencies

The feeling return, Whenever we close our eyes
Lifting my head, Looking around inside.

Facts are simple and facts are straight
Facts are lazy and facts are late
Facts all come with points of view
Facts don't do what I want them to
Facts just twist the truth around
Facts are living turned inside out
Facts are getting the best of them
Facts are nothing on the face of things
Facts don't stain the furniture
Facts go out and slam the door
Facts are written all over your face
Facts continue to change their shape

I'm still waiting...I'm still waiting...I'm still waiting...
I'm still waiting...I'm still waiting...I'm still waiting...
I'm still waiting...I'm still waiting...

Let My Love Open the Door performed by Eddie Vedder

I am in heaven with the acoustic version:) Pearl Jam bound in October. "Let my love open the door to your heart."

When people keep repeating
That you'll never fall in love
When everybody keeps retreating
But you can't seem to get enough

Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
To your heart

Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door

When everything feels all over
Everybody seems unkind
I'll give you a four leaf clover
Take all worry out of your mind

Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
To your heart

Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door

I have the only key to your heart
I can stop you falling apart
Try today, you'll find this way
Come on and give me a chance to say

Let my love open the door, it's all I'm living for
Release yourself from misery
There's only one thing gonna set you free
That's my love, that's my love

Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door

When tragedy befalls you
Don't let it drag you down
Love can cure your problems
You're so lucky I'm around

Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
To your heart

Yesterday by the Beatles

Aunt Ricki I miss you so much! I still can't fully comprehend that I will never get to see you again! My heart breaks! You inspire every painting I create with your art work hung all over my house! You remind me how precious this life really is! Most importantly, you remind me to not give up when I feel down and have problems with my health. FOREVER IN MY HEART, FOREVER IN MY SOUL, and FOREVER A HUGE PART OF MY SPIRIT!

Yesterday,
All my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Suddenly,
I'm not half the man I used to be,
There's a shadow hanging over me,
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.

Why she had to go
I don't know she wouldn't say.
I said something wrong,
Now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday,
Love was such an easy game to play.
Now I need a place to hide away.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Why she had to go
I don't know she wouldn't say.
I said something wrong,
Now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday,
Love was such an easy game to play.
Now I need a place to hide away.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

House of the Rising Sun by the Animals

This is how this song is done, there is no better version then the Animals! Great old video. I wish we still had music videos done right. This song is soooo stuck in my head! "Oh mother tell your children, not to do what I have done..."

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one

My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans

Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk

Oh mother tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun

Well, I got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain

Well, there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one

Take your hat off, boy, when you're talkin to me;)

And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes, I'll see you on the dark side of the moon...

Release by Pearl Jam

One of my top ten favorite songs of all time! I just feel it in my entire body every single time I listen to it!!! "I'll ride the wave, Where it takes me, I'LL HOLD THE PAIN RELEASE ME!!!"

I see the world
Feel the chill
Which way to go
Windowsill
I see the words
On a rocking horse of time
I see the birds in the rain

Oh dear dad
Can you see me now
I am myself
Like you somehow!!!!
I'll ride the wave
Where it takes me
I'll hold the pain
Release me

Oh dear dad
Can you see me now
I am myself
Like you somehow
I'll wait up in the dark
For you to speak to me
I'll open up
Release me
Release me
Release me
Release me

Purple Haze by Jimi Hendrix

Couldn't embed the link but well worth the travel to another page. Looking back now, it makes me laugh that my dad pushed his music values on me;) And now I am doing the same! K is standing here with me and asked if Jimi was on America's Got Talent!?!?! I have more work to do I guess;) 
"Am I happy or in misery?"

http://youtu.be/gjMuKP1GpLY

Purple haze all in my brain 
Lately things just don't seem the same 
Actin' funny, but I don't know why 
'Scuse me while I kiss the sky 

Purple haze all around
Don't know if I'm comin' up or down
Am I happy or in misery?
Whatever it is, that girl put a spell on me

Help me help me
Oh no no... no

Yeah
Purple haze all in my eyes
Don't know if it's day or night
You've got me blowin, blowin my mind
Is it tomorrow or just the end of time?

Furthur Fun with Friends

Shelter from the Storm by Bob Dylan

Exactly. "Everything up to that point had been left unresolved...Come in she said I'll give you shelter from the storm."

I was in another lifetime one of toil and blood
When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud
I came in from the wilderness a creature void of form
"Come in" she said "I'll give you shelter from the storm"

And if I pass this way again you can rest assured
I'll always do my best for her on that I give my word
In a world of steel-eyed death and men who are fighting to be warm
"Come in" she said "I'll give you shelter from the storm"

Not a word was spoke between us there was little risk involved
Everything up to that point had been left unresolved
Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm
"Come in" she said "I'll give you shelter from the storm"

I was burned out from exhaustion buried in the hail
Poisoned in the bushes and blown out on the trail
Hunted like a crocodile ravaged in the corn
"Come in" she said "I'll give you shelter from the storm"

Suddenly I turned around and she was standing there
With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns
"Come in" she said "I'll give you shelter from the storm"

Now there's a wall between us something there's been lost
I took too much for granted got my signals crossed
Just to think that it all began on a long-forgotten morn
"Come in" she said "I'll give you shelter from the storm"

Well the deputy walks on hard nails and the preacher rides a mount
But nothing really matters much it's doom alone that counts
And the one-eyed undertaker he blows a flugelhorn
"Come in" she said "I'll give you shelter from the storm"

I've heard newborn babies wailing like a mourning dove
And old men with broken teeth stranded without love
Do I understand your question man is it hopeless and forlorn
"Come in" she said "I'll give you shelter from the storm"

In a little hilltop village they gambled for my clothes
I bargained for salvation and she gave me a lethal dose
I offered up my innocence and got repaid with scorn
"Come in" she said "I'll give you shelter from the storm".

Well I'm living in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line
Beauty walks a razor's edge someday I'll make it mine
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born
"Come in" she said "I'll give you shelter from the storm".

Come in she said I'll give you shelter from the storm...

Society, have mercy on me! I hope you're not angry if I disagree. Society, crazy and deep. I hope you're not lonely without me!

BE YOURSELF my K and Z. Don't worry about the rest of them;)

Bouncing Around the Room by Phish

PHISH BOUND TOMORROW!!! Can not wait for all parts of this show, especially the dancing part;) "That time then and once again I'm bouncing around the room..."

The woman was a dream I had
Though rather hard to keep
For when my eyes were watching hers
They closed
And I was still asleep

For when my hand was holding hers
She whispered words and I awoke
And faintly bouncing around the room
The echo of whomever spoke
And I awoke and faintly bouncing round the room
The echo of whomever spoke

The place I saw was far beneath
The surface of the seaMy sight was poor
But I was sure
The sirens sang their songs for me
They dance above me as I sink
I see them through a crystal haze
And hear their sweet sound bouncing round
The never ending coral maze
The crystal haze
And hear them bouncing round the room
The never ending coral maze

Then before and now once more I’m bouncing round the room
That time and once again I'm bouncing around the room

Estimated Prophet by the Grateful Dead

Furthur in less then a week. Phish in two days. Very exciting times to come! "Like an angel, standing in a shaft of light, Rising up to paradise, I know Im gonna shine..."

My time coming, any day, don't worry about me, no
Been so long I felt this way, Im in no hurry, no
Rainbows end down that highway where ocean breezes blow
My time coming, voices saying they tell me where to go.

Don't worry about me, nah nah nah, don't worry about me, no
And Im in no hurry, nah nah nah, because I know where to go.

California, preaching on the burning shore
California, knock knocking on the golden door
Like an angel, standing in a shaft of light
Rising up to paradise, I know Im gonna shine.

My time coming, any day, don't worry about me, no
Its gonna be just like they say, them voices tell me so
Seems so long I felt this way and time sure passin slow
Still I know I lead the way, they tell me where I go.

Don't worry about me, no no no, don't worry about me, no
And Im in no hurry, no no no, I know where to go.

California, a prophet on the burning shore
California, I'll be knocking on the golden door
Like an angel, standing in a shaft of light
Rising up to paradise, I know Im gonna shine.

You've all been asleep, you would not believe me
Them voices tellin me, you will soon receive me
Shining on the beach, the sea will part before me
Fire wheel burning in the air!
You will follow me and we will ride to glory,
Way up, the middle of the air!

And I'll call down thunder and speak the same
My work fills the Sky with flame
And might and glory gonna be my name
Men gonna light my way.

My time coming, any day, don't worry about me, no
Its gonna be just like they say, them voices tell me so
Seems so long I felt this way and time sure passin slow
My time coming, any day, don't worry about me, no

Don't worry about me, no no no, don't worry about me, no
And Im in no hurry, no no no, don't worry about me, no.

Rivers of Babylon by Sublime

Total Sublime kick! Happy Sunday Funday ALL!!! Such a fun song to sing along to and of course I think I sound amazing;)- "So let the words of our mouth and the mediations of our hears, Be acceptable in they sight..."

By the rivers of Babylon
Where he sat down
And where he wept when he remembered Zion.

Oh from the wicked, carry us away from captivity
Required from us a song
How can we sing King Alpha's song in a strange land?

So let the words of our mouth
And the meditations of our hearts
Be acceptable in thy sight
Override

By the rivers of Babylon
Where he sat down
And there he wept when he remembered Zion.

Oh from wicked, carry us away from captivity
Required from us a song
How can we sing King Alpha's song in a strange land?
How can we sing King Alpha's song in a strange land?

40 oz to Freedom by Sublime

Listened to Sublime obsessively on my ride to the shore yesterday! Perfect music for a perfect road trip! "And I know that I'm not coming back..."

You've got your hair permed
You've got your red dress on
Screamin' that second gear was such a turn on
And the fog forming on my window tells me that the morning here
And you'll be gone before too long

Who taught you those new tricks?
Damn I shouldn't start that talk,
but life is one big question when your starin at the clock
And the answers always waiting at the liquor store, 40 oz to Freedom,
So I'll take that walk.

And I know that ohhhh...I'm not comin back
Ohh not going back
God knows not going back

You look so fine when you lie that shit don't show,
That I know which way the wind blows
40 oz to freedom is the only chance I have to feel good,
Even though I feel bad

And I know that ohhhh...I'm not comin back
Ohh not going back
God knows I'm not going back
God knows I'm not going back

Celebrate our freedom!

U.S. Blues by the Grateful Dead

Happy July 4th all! Can't wait to set off some fireworks, the BIG ONES, with my babies in my backyard!!! While I dislike how materialistic, selfish, and just plain old mean many Americans are, I am proud to be an American!!! "Wave that flag, wave it wide and high!"

Red and white, blue suede shoes, I'm Uncle Sam, how do you do?
Gimme five, I'm still alive, ain't no luck, I learned to duck.
Check my pulse, it don't change. Stay seventy-two come shine or rain.
Wave the flag, pop the bag, rock the boat, skin the goat.

Wave that flag, wave it wide and high.
Summertime done, come and gone, my, oh, my.

I'm Uncle Sam, that's who I am;
Been hidin' out in a rock and roll band.
Shake the hand that shook the hand of P.T. Barnum and Charlie Chan.

Shine your shoes, light your fuse.
Can you use them ol' U.S. Blues?
I'll drink your health, share your wealth, run your life, steal your wife.

Wave that flag, wave it wide and high.
Summertime done, come and gone, my, oh, my.

Back to back chicken shack.
Son of a gun, better change your act.
We're all confused, what's to lose? 
You can call this song the United States Blues.

Wave that flag, wave it wide and high.
Summertime done, come and gone, my, oh, my.

Lively Up Yourself by Bob Marley

This came on in Wawa and it just made me super happy:) Love it when music does that to you! Lyrics are crazy and he is hard to understand...but you get the gist of it;) "Lively up yourself and don't be no drag..."

Lively up yourself and don't be no drag
Lively up yourself, 'cause reggae is not bad
Hey, lively up yourself and don't say no
You lively up yourself, cause I say so

Hey, you rock so, you rock so, like you never did before
You dip so, you dip so, and you can dip thru my door
You skank so, you skank so, and-a I can assure you
You come so, you come so, oh yeah,

You can lively up yourself and did you hear that!
Hey, you lively up yourself, can you dig it?

You lively up yourself and don't be no drag
You lively up yourself, 'cause this is the other bag
Hey, lively up yourself

Lively up yourself, other bag
Can you dig it? Can you dig it? ...

Society by Eddie Vedder and Johnny Depp

These words are sadly enough too true. I worry about what our society is going to become with all these mean people in the world... It's all about money and materials. Well not for us K and Z! "Society, have mercy on me, I hope your not angry if I disagree..."

It's a mystery to me
We have a greed with which we have agreed
You think you have to want more than you need
Until you have it all you won't be free

Society, you're a crazy breed
I hope you're not lonely without me

When you want more than you have
You think you need
And when you think more than you want
Your thoughts begin to bleed

I think I need to find a bigger place
'Cause when you have more than you think
You need more space

Society, you're a crazy breed
I hope you're not lonely without me
Society, crazy and deep
I hope you're not lonely without me

There's those thinking more or less, less is more
But if less is more how you're keeping score?
Means for every point you make your level drops
Kinda like it's starting from the top, you can't do that

Society, you're a crazy breed
I hope you're not lonely without me
Society, crazy and deep
I hope you're not lonely without me

Society, have mercy on me
I hope you're not angry if I disagree
Society, crazy and deep
I hope you're not lonely without me

"I had no idea that the night could take so damn long..."
