Missed Connection by The Head and The Heart

Acoustic version of this song rocks! "But I see it and I feel in my soul! Is there something I'm missing... Find myself in a conversation, From a missed connection..."

If I never come through
Yes it haunts me
Sunny days I'd miss you
Yes it haunts me

First you see it, then you feel it, now I'm caught
And we're making our own thing
Now I'm following you out to the coast
If I never come through
If I never come through

Don't tell me I lost a step
Criss-crossed in the wrong direction
Found myself in a conversation
From a missed connection

Standing there in a purple dress
Point my eyes in the right direction
Find myself in a conversation
From a missed connection

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

From a missed connection

I lost myself in this maze (La-la-la-la)
Yes it haunts me (La-la-la)
Felt it slipping sideways (La-la-la-la)
Yes it haunts me (La-la-la)

But I see it and I feel it in my soul!!! 
Is there something I'm missing?
Should I follow this where ever it goes?
I will always come through
I will always come through

Don't tell me I lost a step
Criss-crossed in the wrong direction
Found myself in a conversation
From a missed connection

Standing there in a purple dress
Point my eyes in the right direction
Find myself in a conversation
From a missed connection

Only as alone as I want to be
Passing all the people standing on the street
The fallen fruit of a family tree
A crystal ball and the odyssey
Did you find whatever you were looking for?
Had to open every single door
I get the feeling you've been here before
From a missed connection

Don't tell me I lost a step
Criss-crossed in the wrong direction
Found myself in a conversation
From a missed connection

Standing there in a purple dress
Point my eyes in the right direction
Find myself in a conversation
From a missed connection

And they're falling to see it (La-la-la-la)
We'd be fools to waste it but we can (La-la-la)
Falling to feel the heat again (La-la-la-la)
From a missed connection

Cough Syrup by Young The Giant

Listening to it loud enough to block out the other noise..."If I could find a way to see this straight, I'd run away, to some fortune that I should have found by now..."

Life's too short to even care at all oh
I'm losing my mind, losing my mind, losing control
These fishes in the sea they're staring at me oh oh oh oh oh oh
A wet world aches for a beat of a drum, oh

If I could find a way to see this straight, I'd run away
To some fortune that I, I should have found by now!!!!!
I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down, come down

Life's too short to even care at all oh
I'm coming up now coming up now out of the blue oh

These zombies in the park they're looking for my heart oh oh oh oh
A dark world aches for a splash of the sun oh oh

If I could find a way to see this straight, I'd run away
To some fortune that I, I should have found by now

And so I run to the things they said could restore me
Restore life the way it should be
I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down

Life's too short to even care at all oh
I'm losing my mind losing my mind losing control

If I could find a way to see this straight, I'd run away
To some fortune that I, I should have found by now

And so I run to the things they said could restore me
Restore life the way it should be
I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down

One more spoon of cough syrup now whoa
One more spoon of cough syrup now whoa

Thirty Three by The Smashing Pumpkins

So grateful for how music can express how you feel on a particular day! The song starts at 1:45. "Tomorrow is just an excuse away..."

Speak to me in a language I can hear 
Humor me before I have to go 
Deep in thought I forgive everyone 
As the cluttered streets greet me once again 

I know I can't be late
Supper's waiting on the table 
Tomorrow's just an excuse away 
So I pull my collar up and face the cold 
On my own 

The earth laughs beneath my heavy feet 
At the blasphemy in my old jangly walk 
Steeple guide me to my heart and home 
The sun is out and up and down again 

I know I'll make it
Love can last forever 
Graceful swans of never 
Topple to the earth 

And you can make it last forever, you
Can make it last forever, you
Can make it last
And for a moment I lose myself!!!!
Wrapped up in the pleasures of the world 

I've journeyed here and there and back again 
But in the same old haunts I still find my friends 
Mysteries not ready to reveal 
Sympathies I'm ready to return 

I'll make the effort
Love can last forever
Graceful swans of never
Topple to the earth
Tomorrow's just an excuse 
Tomorrow's just an excuse 

And you can make it last forever, you
Can make it last forever, you
Can make it last forever, you
Ever you

Million Reasons by Lady Gaga

Listening to it soooooooooo loud that you can't think anymore! "I try to make the worst seem better..."

You're giving me a million reasons to let you go
You're giving me a million reasons to quit the show
You're givin' me a million reasons
Give me a million reasons
Givin' me a million reasons
About a million reasons

If I had a highway, I would run for the hills
If you could find a dry way, I'd forever be still
But you're giving me a million reasons
Give me a million reasons
Givin' me a million reasons
About a million reasons

I bow down to pray
I try to make the worst seem better
Lord, show me the way
To cut through all his worn out leather
I've got a hundred million reasons to walk away
But baby, I just need one good one to stay

Head stuck in a cycle, I look off and I stare
It's like that I've stopped breathing, but completely aware
'Cause you're giving me a million reasons
Give me a million reasons
Givin' me a million reasons
About a million reasons

And if you say something that you might even mean
It's hard to even fathom which parts I should believe
'Cause you're giving me a million reasons
Give me a million reasons
Givin' me a million reasons
About a million reasons

I bow down to pray
I try to make the worst seem better
Lord, show me the way
To cut through all his worn out leather
I've got a hundred million reasons to walk away
But baby, I just need one good one to stay

Baby I'm bleedin', bleedin'
Stay
Can't you give me what I'm needin', needin'
Every heartbreak makes it hard to keep the faith
But baby, I just need one good one
Good one, good one, good one, good one, good one

When I bow down to pray
I try to make the worst seem better
Lord, show me the way
To cut through all his worn out leather
I've got a hundred million reasons to walk away
But baby, I just need one good one, good one
Tell me that you'll be the good one, good one
Baby, I just need one good one to stay

Ripple by The Grateful Dead

In honor of Jerry Garcia's birthday:) His music is part of my soul. Thanks to my Dad who introduced me when I was a kid. "Let there be songs, to fill the air..."

If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine
And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung
Would you hear my voice come through the music
Would you hold it near as it were your own?

It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken
Perhaps they're better left unsung
I don't know, don't really care
Let there be songs to fill the air

Ripple in still water
When there is no pebble tossed
Nor wind to blow

Reach out your hand if your cup be empty
If your cup is full may it be again
Let it be known there is a fountain
That was not made by the hands of men

There is a road, no simple highway
Between the dawn and the dark of night
And if you go no one may follow
That path is for your steps alone

Ripple in still water
When there is no pebble tossed
Nor wind to blow

You who choose to lead must follow
But if you fall you fall alone
If you should stand then who's to guide you?
If I knew the way I would take you home
