And if I know only one thing, it’s that everything that I see
Of the world outside is so inconceivable, often I barely can speak.
Yeah I’m tongue-tied and dizzy, and I can’t keep it to myself,
What good is it to sing helplessness blues?
Helplessness Blues by Fleet Foxes
Song of the moment: Be Here Now by Ray LaMontagne
Don’t let your mind get weary and confused..
your will be still; don’t try.
Don’t let your heart get heavy, child;
inside you there’s a strength that lies.
Don’t let your soul get lonely, child..
it’s only time; it will go by.
Don’t look for love in faces, places —
it’s in you; that’s where you’ll find kindness.
Be here.. be here now.. be here now..
be.. be here now.. be here now…
Don’t lose your faith in me,
and I will try not to lose faith in you.
Don’t put your trust in walls,
‘cause walls will only crush you when they fall.
Be…be here now… be here now.
day 15 - a song that describes you
I’ve posted this before but All I Can See by Brendan James is me wrapped up into 3 minutes and 59 seconds.
day 11 - a song from your favorite band
A Case of You by Joni Mitchell
To say that I have a favourite band or singer would be negligible but I will always and forever be a Joni Mitchell fan and this song will always be important to me for various reasons. It also includes some of my favourite lyrics:
I remember that time you told me you said
“Love is touching souls”
Surely you touched mine
‘Cause part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time
day 04 - a song that makes you sad
Drowning by Jay Brannan
Per my most reblogged post (see here), I love love love sad songs so there are really too many to mention but this song about the absolute weight of depression is one of the many that always gets to me. Both the lyrics and the piano are stunning.
Life Lessons Via Stephen Sondheim
- Careful the things you say, children will listen.
- Everybody’s got the right to be happy.
- A person should celebrate everything passing by.
- It’s the little things you do together that make perfect relationships.
- Everybody ought to have a maid.
- Nice is different than good.
- Don’t be afraid that it won’t be perfect. The only thing to be afraid of, really, is that it won’t be.
- Anything you do, let it come from you — then it will be new. Give us more to see.
- If you wanna bump it, bump it with a trumpet.
- And for God’s sake, finish the hat.
I love everything about this.
