State of Love and Trust by Pearl Jam

LISTENING TO IT SOOOO LOUD that I can feel it in my body and can't sit still:)!!! Perfect way to start the work week! "And I listen for 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 from both sides of a friend
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, don't 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

She Talks to Angels by The Black Crowes

My sister Brett loved this song when we were growing up. I still do:) "Yeah, she gives a smile when the pain come, The pain gonna make everything alright..."

She never mentions the word addiction
In certain company
Yes, she'll tell you she's an orphan
After you meet her family

She paints her eyes as black as night now
Pulls those shades down tight
Yeah, she gives a smile when the pain come
The pain gonna make everything alright

Says she talks to angels
They call her out by her name
Oh yeah, she talks to angels
Says they call her out by her name

She keeps a lock of hair in her pocket
She wears a cross around her neck
Yes, the hair is from a little boy
And the cross is someone she has not met
Not yet

Says she talks to angels
Says they all know her name
Oh yeah, she talks to angels
Says they call her out by her name

She don't know no lover
None that I ever seen
Yeah, to her that ain't nothin'!!!
But to me, yeah me
Means everything

She paints her eyes as black as night now
She pulls those shades down tight
Oh yeah, there's a smile when the pain comes!
The pain gonna make everything alright!
Alright, yeah heah

She talks to angels
Says they call her out by her name
Oh, yeah, heah, angels
Call her out by her name
Oh, ooh, oh, oh, angels
They call her out by her name

Oh, oh, oh, she talks to angels
They call her out
Yeah, ee, eah, eah, eah, eah
Call her out
Don't you know that they
Call her out by her name?

I Shall Be Released by Jack Johnson, Eddie vedder and Zach Gill

While I love this song no matter who sings it, I really love this version a lot! Sunday Funday song of the day:) "Yet I swear I see my reflection, Somewhere so high above this wall...I SHALL BE RELEASED!"

They say everything can be replaced
They say every distance is not near
So I remember every face
Of every man who put me here

I see my light come shinin'
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released

They say every man needs protection
They say that every man must fall
Yet I swear I see my reflection
Somewhere so high above this wall 

I see my light come shinin'
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released

Now yonder stands a man in this lonely crowd
A man who swears he's not to blame
All day long I hear him shouting so loud
Just crying out that he was framed

I see my light come shinin'
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released!!!!!

I like this one.

Us and Them by Pink Floyd

Pink Floyd kind of Sunday Funday. "Up and down, and in the end it's only round and round and round..."

Us and Them
And after all we're only ordinary men

Me, and you
God only knows it's not what we would choose to do

Forward he cried from the rear
And the front rank died
And the General sat, as the lines on the map
Moved from side to side

Black and Blue
And who knows which is which and who is who

Up and Down
And in the end it's only round and round and round

Haven't you heard it's a battle of words
The poster bearer cried
Listen son, said the man with the gun
There's room for you inside

Down and Out
It can't be helped but there's a lot of it about

With, without
And who'll deny that's what the fightings all about

Get out of the way, it's a busy day
And I've got things on my mind
For want of the price of tea and a slice
The old man died

Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton....

Thanks for the morning pick me up facebook:) You are good for something...This song reminds me so much of my dad driving me to and fro when I was a kid! He would blare the music and just cruise, usually above the speed limit! Makes me smile:)  "No matter what we get out of this, I know we'll never forget, Smoke on the water, Fire in the sky..."

We all came out to Montreux
On the Lake Geneva shoreline
To make records with a mobile
We didn't have much time
Frank Zappa and the Mothers
Were at the best place around
But some stupid with a flare gun
Burned the place to the ground
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky
Smoke on the water

They burned down the gambling house
It died with an awful sound
Funky Claude was running in and out
Pulling kids out the ground
When it all was over
We had to find another place
But Swiss time was running out
It seemed that we would lose the race
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky
Smoke on the water

We ended up at the Grand Hotel
It was empty cold and bare
But with the Rolling truck Stones thing just outside
Making our music there
With a few red lights and a few old beds
We make a place to sweat
No matter what we get out of this
I know we'll never forget
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky

Psycho Killer by the Talking Heads

Happy Birthday Kelsi Rose!!! When you were 2, you absolutely loved this song and would walk around singing "pyscho kisser" over and over again. Of course I had to convince you to say kisser instead of killer;) I had the lie going for quite a few years, too:) You make my life complete! You are beautiful inside and out with the kindest heart of anyone I have ever met. You are selfless in your pursuit to make others happy. I wish for you, my girl, that your glass is always half full and your life is filled with happiness and love!!! ALL OF MY LOVE FOREVER AND ALWAYS!

I can't seem to face up to the facts
I'm tense and nervous and I
Can't relax
I can't sleep 'cause my bed's on fire
Don't touch me I'm a real live wire

Psycho Killer
Qu'est-ce que c'est
fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away
Psycho Killer
Qu'est-ce que c'est
fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away

You start a conversation you can't even finish it.
You're talkin' a lot, but you're not sayin' anything.
When I have nothing to say, my lips are sealed.
Say something once, why say it again?

Psycho Killer,
Qu'est-ce que c'est
fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away
Psycho Killer
Qu'est-ce que c'est
fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away

Ce que j'ai fais, ce soir la
Ce qu'elle a dit, ce soir la
Realisant mon espoir
Je me lance, vers la gloire ... OK
We are vain and we are blind
I hate people when they're not polite

Psycho Killer,
Qu'est-ce que c'est
fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away
Psycho Killer,
Qu'est-ce que c'est
fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh....

He's Gone by the Grateful Dead

Grateful for the ten full minutes I had to listen to this Dick's Picks song on a quiet ride home from work:) I wish it didn't cut off...but what can you do. This is by far my favorite version of this song. It is a little scratchy sounding, but that makes it even more enjoyable! You have to listen to the entire song to feel the full effect:)- 

Love these lyrics and couldn't possibly pick a favorite! 
"Like I told you, what I said, Steal your face right off your head!"

"Nine miles skidding on a ten mile ride, Hot as a pistol but cool inside...NOTHING LEFT TO DO BUT SMILE SMILE SMILE!!!"

"Goin where the wind don't blow so strange, Maybe off on some high cold mountain chain, Lost one round but the price wasn't anything, A knife in the back and more of the same...."

Rat in a drain ditch, caught on a limb, you know better but I know him.
Like I told you, what I said, 
Steal your face right off your head.

Now he's gone, now he's gone, Lord he's gone, he's gone.
Like a steam locomotive, rollin' down the track
He's gone, gone, nothin's gonna bring him back...He's gone... :(

Nine mile skidding on a ten mile ride, 
Hot as a pistol but cool inside.
Cat on a tin roof, dogs in a pile,
Nothin' left to do but smile, smile, smile!!!!

Now he's gone, now he's gone Lord he's gone, he's gone.
Like a steam locomotive, rollin' down the track
He's gone, gone, nothin's gonna bring him back...He's gone.

Goin' where the wind don't blow so strange,
Maybe off on some high cold mountain chain.
Lost one round but the price wasn't anything,
A knife in the back and more of the same.

Same old, rat in a drain ditch, caught on a limb,
You know better but I know him.
Like I told you, what I said,
Steal your face right off your head.

Now he's gone, now he's gone Lord he's gone, he's gone.
Like a steam locomotive, rollin' down the track
He's gone, gone, nothin's gonna bring him back...He's gone.

Ooh, nothin's gonna bring him back:(

Save Part Of Yourself for Me by Brandi Carlile

This song is my morning pick me up! It's happy and sad all wrapped up into one:) It sounds pretty too. "The sun goes down and I feel blue, Now I toss 'cause my mind's on you, And I kind of miss your broken smile, Save part of yourself for me..."

The sun came up and five years gone
Life goes on, yeah, life goes on
I wonder how you're gettin' by
The sun goes down and I feel blue
Now I toss 'cause my mind's on you
And I kind of miss your broken smile

Save part of yourself for me
Won't you save part of yourself for me?

I remember you and me
Lost and young and dumb and free
And unaware of years to come
Just a whisper in the dark
On the pavement in the park
You taught me how to love someone

So save part of yourself for me
Won't you save part of yourself for me?

When we walk into the sun
Or burn below for what we've done
Will you still call out for me?
Turn to light or fade to black
You don't look back, no, you don't look back
At what you might not wanna see

But save part of yourself for me
Won't you save part of yourself for me?

The sun goes down and five years gone
Life goes on, yes, life goes on
I hope you caught up with your dreams!!!!
I hope you saved part of yourself for me

Won't you save part of yourself for me?
Save part of yourself for me

I Know You Rider by the Grateful Dead

One of my faves! I have listened to it every 1st of March for as long as I can remember:) March is finally upon us! Spring is on it's way! "March winds will blow all my troubles away!"

I know you, rider, gonna miss me when Im gone;
I know you, rider, gonna miss me when Im gone;
Gonna miss your baby, from rolling in your arms.

Laid down last night, lord, I could not take my rest!!!
Laid down last night, lord, I could not take my rest
My mind was wandering like the wild geese in the west!!!!

The sun will shine in my back door someday!!!!
The sun will shine in my back door someday.
March winds will blow all my troubles away!!!!!

I wish I was a headlight, on a north bound train;
I wish I was a headlight, on a north bound train;
I'd shine my light through cool colorado rain.

I know you, rider, gonna miss me when Im gone;
I know you, rider, gonna miss me when Im gone;
Gonna miss your baby, from rolling in your arms.
