    The Chills - Effloresce and Deliquesce and Water wolves

    Two truly beautiful tracks by one of the finest New Zealand bands

    If either of those two tracks don't send a shiver down your spine then you must be dead.

    The Perfect disaster - TV (girl on fire) - they may be VU wannabees but that track just makes me want to cry.

    At the KH I used to get a giggle out of singing "Keep your eyes on the Prize". Only I sang "keep your eyes on her thighs".

    This is the CD I played a lot when I was separated from my husband in 2000. With friends' help and listening to music I was able to be strong.

    Also love "The Dance" album by Fleetwood Mac. Also had fun w/Salt N' Peppa and others on my way to work. Tend to wake me up!

    Listened to "Delilah" in the evening coming home from work. Sniff, sniff. She always had a sad story and then played music that people asked for or she wanted them to hear.

    One day at a time!

    ONE DAY AT A TIME, SWEET JESUS
     
     
    I'm only human, I'm just a woman / man 
    Help me believe in what I could be 
    And all that I am. 
    Show me the stairway, I have to climb. 
    Lord for my sake, teach me to take 
    One day at a time. 
     
    Chorus: 
    One day at a time sweet Jesus 
    That's all I'm asking from you. 
    Just give me the strength 
    To do everyday what I have to do. 
    Yesterday's gone sweet Jesus 
    And tomorrow may never be mine. 
    Lord help me today, show me the way 
    One day at a time. 
     
    Do you remember, when you walked among men? 
    Well Jesus you know if you're looking below 
    It's worse now, than then. 
    Cheating and stealing, violence and crime 
    So for my sake, teach me to take 
    One day at a time. 
     
    (Chorus)

    No songs, no particular songs anyway. I lo-o-o-ve music - all kinds of it, don't discriminate. For those times when I feel like hanging myself - it's just music, instumental stuff, no words please...I got some words of my own to describe this life . There's plenty good stuff on the net, though. I like Jazzanova and some smooth jazz. Something that help me relax and "think" my way out of a problem I'm in. "Cafe del mar" stuff is ok. Different situations challenge me in a different way, so no special songs - just something that feels right for that particular moment (and it could be anything). I play my Djembe drum to get my stress out after work.
