OH WONDER ~ HEART HOPE

They're building towers that are high enough to see the clouds
But it don't bother me
The elevators working overtime up and down
Yet it don't bother me
Cause I need something more than everything
A higher self deep within
Cause I need something more than everything
A higher self, a higher self
And I know we need a little heart hope
I know we've gotta outgrow and feel a little heart hope
They're building aeroplanes faster than the speed of light
Yet it don't bother me
The endless cities multiplying out oceansize
Yet it don't bother me
Cause I need something more than everything
A higher self deep within
Cause I need something more than everything
A higher self, a higher self
And I know we need a little heart hope
I know we've gotta outgrow and feel a little heart hope
Cause there is something more than everything
So feel the love and let it in
Cause I know we need a little heart hope
And I know we need a little heart hope
I know we've gotta outgrow and feel a little heart hope
Cause there is something more than everything
So feel the love and let it in
Cause I know we need a little heart hope

MICHAEL SCHULTE ~ THOUGHTS

Thoughts.....

They are like restless peace in my head.
And Time.....

it slowly kills me in my cold bed. 

And turns my faith into a dark, and open doubt.
I am running into the fire,
tonight, this war is easily lost.
Cause I can't cut these wires,
and sparks will turn into,
a fire, a fire.
I am running into the fire.
Ooh, ooh, oh
Ooh, ooh, oh
Thoughts, are creeping in with arms of silence.
Time, have made me drown here on my island.
Pressure's rising like a way of open scars.
I am running into the fire,
tonight, this war is easily lost.
Cause I can't cut these wires,
and sparks will turn into,
a fire, a fire.
I am running into the fire.
Oh, I am running, running, running, running.
Into the fire.
Oh, I am running, running, running, running.
Into the fire.
Ooh, ooh, oh
Ooh, ooh, oh

NICK DRAKE ~ FLY

Please give me a second grace,
Please give me a second face,
I've fallen far down, the first time around,
Now I just sit on the ground in your way

Now, if it's time for recompense for what's done,
Come, come sit down on the fence in the sun,
And the clouds will roll by and we'll never deny,
It's really too hard for the fly

Please tell me your second name,
Please play me your second game,
I've fallen so far, of the people you are,
I just need your star for a day

So come, come ride in my street-car by the bay,
For now, I must know how fine you are in your way,
And the sea she will sigh but she'll never deny,
For it's really too hard for the fly

CONGRATULATIONS ~ BLUE OCTOBER ft. IMOGEN HEAP

Is that seat taken
Congratulations
Would you like to take a walk with me

My mind it kind of goes fast
I try to slow it down for you
I think I'd love to take a drive
I want to give you something
I've been wanting to give to you for years
My heart

My heart, my pain won't cover up
You left me.. hu hu hu hu
My heart won't take this cover up
You left me.. hu hu hu hu

I came to see the light in my best friend
You seemed as happy as you'd ever been
My chance of being open was broken
And now you're Mrs. him.

My words they don't come out right
But I'll try to say I'm happy for you
I think I'm going to take that drive
I want to give you something
I've been wanting to give to you for years
My heart

My heart, my pain won't cover up
You left me.. hu hu hu hu
My heart
My heart won't take this cover up
You left me.. hu hu hu hu

And I can't change this
I can never take it back
But now I can't change your mind
(You left me)
And I can't change this
I can never take this back
But now I can't change your mind
can't change your mind
(You left me)
Can't change you mind
(You left me)
(You left me)
(You left me)
(You left me)

Go away
Make it go away
Please.

THE BEATLES ~ HEY JUDE

Hey Jude, don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better
Hey Jude, don't be afraid
You were made to go out and get her
The minute you let her under your skin
Then you begin to make it better
And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders
For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
Hey Jude, don't let me down
You have found her, now go and get her
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better
So let it out and let it in, hey Jude, begin
You're waiting for someone to perform with
And don't you know that it's just you, hey Jude, you'll do
The movement you need is on your shoulder
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah yeah
Hey Jude, don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her under your skin
Then you'll begin to make it
Better better better better better better, oh
Nah nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah, hey Jude
Nah nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah, hey Jude
Nah nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah, hey Jude
Nah nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah, hey Jude
Nah nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah, hey Jude
Nah nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah, hey Jude
Nah nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah, hey Jude
Nah nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah, hey Jude

MATTHEW PERRYMAN-JONES ~ ONLY YOU

How can I forget you
The memories come and go
You’re all I've ever wanted
You’re all I've ever known
Can I be happy
Living with your ghost?

The pictures tell the story
I took them off the wall
It’s hard enough to get through
I still can feel the fall
Do you even think of me at all?

I want you
Only you (repeat 1x)

I could start it over
And find somebody new
A beautiful distraction
Just a hand to hold on to
But if you ask me,
Would that love be true?

No, I want you
Only you

I want you
Only you

I wanna taste you again
Like a secret or a sin
Breathin' out breathing in
There's no one else for me
But you
Only you

And I want you
Only you

And I want you
Only you

Oh I want you
Only you

And I want you
Only you

RODRIGO LEAO ~ PASION

No me olvides, yo me muero
Amor, mi vida es sufrimiento,
yo te quiero en mi camino
por vos cambiaba mi destino

[estribillo:]
Ay, abrázame esta noche
aunque no tengas ganas
prefiero que me mientas
tristes breves nuestras vidas
acércate a mí
abrázame a ti por Dios
entrégate a mis brazos.

Tengo un corazón penando
yo sé que vos lo está escuchando
con mil lágrimas te quiero
Pasión sos mi amor sincero

(estribillo)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Don't forget me, I will die.
Love, my life is suffering
I want you in my life
because of you my destiny changed

[Chorus:]
Ah, hold me tight tonight,
although you may not feel like it,
I'd prefer that you'd lie to me;
our lives are sad, short;
come close to me,
hold me tight for God's shake
throw yourself into my arms.

I have a wretched heart,
I know that you're listening,
with thousand tears I love you,
my passion, you are my true love

(chorus)

SUZANNE VEGA ~ PREDICTIONS

Let's tell the future
Let's see how it's been done.
By numbers. By mirrors. By water.
By dots made at random on paper.

By salt. By dice.
By meal. By mice.
By dough of cakes.
By sacrificial fire.

By fountains. By fishes.
Writing in ashes.
Birds. Herbs.
Smoke from the altar.

A suspended ring or the mode of laughing
Pebbles drawn from a heap
One of these things
Will tell you something.

Let's tell the future
Let's see how it's been done.
By dreams. By the features. By letters.
By dropping hot was into water.

By nails reflecting the rays of the sun.
By waling in a circle.
By red hot iron.
By passages in books.
A balanced hatchet.

A suspended ring or the mode of laughing
Pebbles drawn from a heap
One of these things
Will tell you something.

Let's tell the future
Let's see how it's been done.
How it's been done.

COLDPLAY ~ TALK

Oh brother I can't, I can't get through
I've been trying hard to reach you, cause I don't know what to do
Oh brother I can't believe it's true
I'm so scared about the future and I wanna talk to you
Oh I wanna talk to you
You can take a picture of something you see
In the future where will I be?
You can climb a ladder up to the sun
Or write a song nobody has sung
Or do something that's never been done
Are you lost or incomplete?
Do you feel like a puzzle, you can't find your missing piece?
Tell me how do you feel?
Well, I feel like they're talking in a language I don't speak
And they're talking it to me
So you take a picture of something you see
In the future where will I be?
You can climb a ladder up to the sun
Or write a song nobody has sung
Or do something that's never been done
Do something that's never been done
So you don't know where you're going, and you wanna talk
And you feel like you're going where you've been before
You tell anyone who'll listen but you feel ignored
Nothing's really making any sense at all
Let's talk, let's ta-a-alk
Let's talk, let's ta-a-alk

NEIL DIAMOND ~ BE & LONELY LOOKING SKY

Two sad songs for the price of one here, from the soundtrack of the film Jonathan Livingston Seagull.

I really love this film and all its beautiful music.

BE

Lost
On a painted sky
Where the clouds are hung
For the poet's eye
You may find him
If you may find him

There
On a distant shore
By the wings of dreams
Through an open door
You may know him
If you may
 
Be....

 As a page that aches for a word
Which speaks on a theme that is timeless
  And the one God will make for your day
 
Sing....

As a song in search of a voice that is silent
And the sun God will make for your way

~~~~~~~~~~

And we dance
To a whispered voice
Overheard by the soul,
Undertook by the heart
And you may know it
If you may know it

While the sand would become the stone
Which begat the spark
Turned to living bone
Holy, holy
Sanctus, sanctus

Be
As a page that aches for a word
Which speaks on a theme that is timeless
And the one God will make for your day

Sing
As a song in search of a voice that is silent
And the one God will make for your way



LONELY LOOKING SKY 

Lonely looking sky, lonely sky
Lonely looking sky
And bein' lonely
Makes you wonder why
Makes you wonder why
Lonely looking sky
Lonely looking sky
Lonely looking sky

Lonely looking night, lonely night,
Lonely looking night
And bein' lonely
Never made it right
Never made it right
Lonely looking night
Lonely looking night
Lonely looking night

Sleep, we sleep
For we may dream
While we may
Dream we dream
For we may wake
One more day, one more day

Glory looking day
Glory day, Glory looking day
And all it's glory
Told a simple way
Behold it if you may
Glory looking day
Glory looking day
On lonely looking sky

CAT STEVENS ~ WILD WORLD

Now that I've lost everything to you
You say you wanna start something new
And it's breakin' my heart you're leavin'
Baby, I'm grievin'
But if you wanna leave, take good care
I hope you have a lot of nice things to wear
But then a lot of nice things turn bad out there
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
I'll always remember you like a child, girl
You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do
And it's breakin' my heart in two
Because I never wanna see you a sad girl
Don't be a bad girl
But if you wanna leave, take good care
I hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
I'll always remember you like a child, girl
Baby, I love you
But if you wanna leave, take good care
I hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
I'll always remember you like a child, girl

PINKZEBRA ~ WE WON'T STOP DREAMING

This lovely track accompanies a video of the county in which I live: beautiful, beautiful Sussex!

Well here we are
Living in the moment
Well here we are
Dreaming in the open
Look around
Isn’t this a new day
Make a move
Doing things a new way
A new way

‘Cause this is our world
And this is our time
These are our plans
We’re gonna let ‘em shine
This is our place
In the human race
And we won’t stop dreaming
No we won’t stop dreaming

Look ahead
We can see forever
You and me
Doing it together
Light it up
We can be a million stars
Look at us
Don’t you see we’ve come so far
Yeah we’ve come so far

‘Cause this is our world
And this is our time
These are our plans
We’re gonna let ‘em shine
This is our place
In the human race
And we won’t stop dreaming
No we won’t stop dreaming

Standing at the crossroads
Feeling how the wind blows
We can soar above the clouds
Every moment is a heartbeat
Every breath feeling so sweet
Who can say what happens now

‘Cause this is our world
And this is our time
These are our plans
We’re gonna let ‘em shine
This is our place
In the human race
And we won’t stop dreaming
No we won’t stop dreaming
We won’t stop dreaming

SHAKE SHAKE GO ~ ENGLAND SKIES

You're used to grey England Skies
Cloudy days, colder nights
And your heart's not right

Thought you'd be quite happy there
In that warm New York air
But your heart's not right

But if you sing along with me
Do you think you cold ever smile again?
If you sing this melody
Do you think you could laugh again my friend?

Just try for me... Sing
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Don't wait for England to chime
Not for your heart or mine
I know time is never kind

You missed your warm winter boots
Say the tea's not as good
But you'll be alright

Everyone is going out in summer hats and coloured T-shirts now
Take a walk around the park
I know it will be better soon somehow

Just try for me... Sing
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
And I'll keep on waiting for you
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

STELIOS ROKKOS ~ OSO MENO EPIMENO

Oso Meno Epimeno (Όσο Μένω Επιμένω) 

Aν σε δω ποτέ ξανά,
μην μου πεις όλα αυτά τα τυπικά
κι αν ρωτήσεις πως περνώ,
θα βιαστώ ένα ψέμα να σου πω...

Μα όσο μένω επιμένω
σε ένα απωθημένο
έτσι είμαι εγώ και μπορώ
ότι αγάπησα να καίω
μέσα μου να κλαίω
και μπροστά σου απλά να γελώ
έτσι ξέρω να αγαπώ

Aν σε δω ποτέ ξανά,
θα κρυφτώ σαν τον κλέφτη στη σκιά
και θ' αφήσω τη στιγμή να καεί
στων ματιών σου τη σιωπή

Μα όσο μένω επιμένω
σε ένα απωθημένο
έτσι είμαι εγώ και μπορώ
ότι αγάπησα να καίω
μέσα μου να κλαίω
και μπροστά σου απλά να γελώ

Μα όσο μένω επιμένω
σε ένα απωθημένο
έτσι είμαι εγώ και μπορώ
ότι αγάπησα να καίω
μέσα μου να κλαίω
και μπροστά σου απλά να γελώ
Θεέ μου πόσο σ’ αγαπώ

Translation:-

The More I stay, The More I insist

If I ever see you again,
don't say all those typical things
And if you ask me how I'm doing,
In a haste, I'll tell you a lie..

But the more I stay, the more I insist,
on a repressed feeling
That's the way I am
And I can burn everything I've loved
I can be crying inside,
and in front of you, simply smile
That's the way I know how to love

If I ever see you again,
I'll hide in the shadows like a thief
And I'll let the moment burn,
in the silence of your eyes

But the more I stay, the more I insist,
on a repressed feeling
That's the way I am
And I can burn everything I've loved
I can be crying inside,
and in front of you, simply smile

But the more I stay, the more I insist,
on a repressed feeling
That's the way I am
And I can burn everything I've loved
I can be crying inside,
and in front of you, simply smile
My God, how much I love you

BERT JANSCH ~ OCTOBER SONG

I'll sing you this October song
There's no song before it
The words and tune are none of my own
For my joys and sorrows bore it
Beside the sea the brambly briars
ln the still of evening
Birds fly out behind the sun
And with them l'll be leaving

The faIIen leaves that jewel the ground
They know the art of dying
And leave with joy their glad gold hearts
In scarlet shadows Iying
When hunger calls my footsteps home
The morning follows after
l swim the seas within my mind
And the pine trees laugh green Iaughter

l used to search for happiness
l used to follow pleasure
But l found a door behind my mind
And that's the greatest treasure
For rulers like to lay down laws
And rebels like to break them
And the poor priests like to walk in chains 

And God likes to forsake them.

l met a man whose name was time
He said I must be going
But just how long ago that was
l have no way of knowing
Somelimes l want to murder time
Sometimes when my heart's aching
But mostly l just stroll along
The path that he is taking

l'll sing you this October Song
There is no song before it
The words and tune are none of my own
For my joys and sorrows bore it
Beside the sea the brambly briars
In the cool of evening
The birds fly out behind the sun
And with them l'll be Ieaving

ONE REPUBLIC ~ COUNTING STARS

Lately I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But, baby I've been, I've been praying hard
Said no more counting dollars, we'll be counting stars
Yeah, we'll be counting stars

I see this life like a swinging vine,
Swing my heart across the line
In my face is flashing signs,
Seek it out and ye shall find.

Old but I'm not that old
Young but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told

And I I I I feel something so right by doing the wrong thing
And I I I I feel something so wrong by doing the right thing

I could lie, couldn't I, couldn't I?
Every thing that kills me makes me feel alive.

Lately I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But, baby I've been, I've been praying hard
Said no more counting dollars, we'll be counting stars
Lately I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But, baby I've been, I've been praying hard
Said no more counting dollars, we'll be-we'll be counting stars

Ye-e-yeah

I feel her love
And I feel it burn down this river every time
Hope is our four-letter word, make that money watch it burn

Old but, I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told

And I I I I feel something so wrong by doing the right thing
I could lie, couldn't I, couldn't I?
Everything that drowns me makes me wanna fly

Lately I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But, baby I've been, I've been praying hard
Said no more counting dollars, we'll be counting stars
Lately I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But, baby I've been, I've been praying hard
Said no more counting dollars, we'll be-we'll be counting stars

Oh, take that money watch it burn,
Sing in the river the lessons I learned
Take that money watch it burn,
Sing in the river the lessons I learned
Take that money watch it burn,
Sing in the river the lessons I learned
Take that money watch it burn,
Sing in the river the lessons I learned

Everything that kills me makes me feel alive

Lately I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But, baby I've been, I've been praying hard
Said no more counting dollars, we'll be counting stars
Lately I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But, baby I've been, I've been praying hard
Said no more counting dollars, we'll be-we'll be counting stars

Take that money watch it burn,
Sing in the river the lessons I learned
Take that money watch it burn,
Sing in the river the lessons I learned
Take that money watch it burn,
