heaven (bryan adams)

*Bryan Adams circa 1984, quite a sight!  One very important fact about this video is that he is alone the entire time.  This song is not about being with someone.  This song is about being alone, about wanting to be with someone.  There's a difference.  Maybe that's why I get it.*

Oh thinkin' about all our younger years
there was only you and me
we were young and wild and free
now nothing can take you away from me
we've been down that road before
but that's over now
you keep me comin' back for more

and baby you're all that I want
when you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe
we're in heaven
and love is all that I need
and I found it there in your heart
it isn't too hard to see
we're in heaven

oh once in your life you find someone
who will turn your world around
bring you up when you're feelin' down
now nothin' can change what you mean to me
oh there's lots that I could say
but just hold me now
cause our love will light the way

and baby you're all that I want
when you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe
we're in heaven
and love is all that I need
and I found it there in your heart
it isn't too hard to see
we're in heaven

I've been waitin' for so long
for somethin' to arrive
for love to come along
wow our dreams are comin' true
through the good times and the bad
I'll be standin' there by you

and baby you're all that I want
when you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe
we're in heaven
and love is all that I need
and I found it there in your heart
it isn't too hard to see
we're in heaven 

heaven

you're all that I want
you're all that I need

we're in heaven.

it's you (michelle branch)

*A little gem of a song.  I didn't think that including the lyrics was necessary, but it just reinforces the fact that this is a very simple song and benefits from that.  Too often, songs are adulterated and overproduced.  I'm glad this one is unmolested.  Also, there is an old hymn tucked into the end of the song.  Strange.*

If tomorrow never comes
I would want just one thing
I would tell it to the stars and the sun
I would write it for the world to see
and it's you
the light changes when you're in the room
oh it's you
oh it's you

if tomorrow never comes
I would want just one wish
to kiss your quiet mouth
trace the steps with my fingertips
and it's you
the light changes when you're in the room
oh it's you
oh it's you
oh it's you.

just another day (jon secada)

*This song echoes a recurring theme in my life.  Glad I rediscovered it.  Keep an open mind and I think you'll agree it's more than just a pop song.*

Mornings alone
when you come home
I breathe a little faster
every time we're together
I'd never be the same
if you're not here
how can you stay away,
away so long

why can't we stay together
give me a reason
give me a reason

I,
I don't wanna say it
I don't wanna find another way
to make it through the day without you
I,
I can't resist
trying to find exactly what I miss
it's just another day without you
it's just another day

making the time
find the right lines
to make you stay forever
what do I have to tell you
I'm just trying to hold on to something
(trying to hold on to something good)
give us a chance to make it

don't wanna hold on to never
I'm not that strong
I'm not that strong

I,
I don't wanna say it
I don't wanna find another way
make it through the day without you
I,
I can't resist
trying to find exactly what I miss
it's just another day without you

why can't you stay forever
just give me a reason
give me a reason.

I rise

Got my teeth kicked in again
been spitting blood all day
people
they wonder why
I don't just go away
I always come back
like a fucking disease
burn me, bury me
chlorine, gasoline
give me everything you got
take me to the river
sing me your song
lay me down in that sweet water
eyes toward the sky
will I rise or will I sink
you best be warned
I come for you tonight
in your fucking sleep

I laugh at the storm
I pity the waves
they are wild and free
but they are nothing like me
bore into me
and I will bore into you
try to break me
and I will erase you
try to change me
and I will humble you

in this war
there are no treaties
in this war
you will see
I am bigger and stronger
than anything you've ever seen
man on man
man versus machine
I will make war
and burn you in the fucking streets.

just can't get enough (DMK)

*Depeche Mode covers are as ubiquitous as seagulls at the seashore, but this one is fun.  A good song will remain a good song, no matter the treatment.  Oh, and I want to take those kids home with me!*
