Lilacs, did ya try his name, Kenny Chesney? That might do it. Let me know when ya get it!

TR, I don't know if you like country music or not, but thats a good song!

This is a song I had heard at least a dozen times before before the lyrics finally crystalized for me and I realized just what the song was about.

Then it hit me like a gut-punch.

Brick
by Ben Folds and Darren Jessee

6 am day after Christmas
I throw some clothes on in the dark
The smell of cold
Car seat is freezing
The world is sleeping
I am numb

Up the stairs to the apartment
She is balled up on the couch
Her mom and dad went down to Charlotte
They're not home to find us out
And we drive
Now that I have found someone
I'm feeling more alone
Than I ever have before

She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere
She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly

They call her name at 7:30
I pace around the parking lot
Then I walk down to buy her flowers
And sell some gifts that I got
Can't you see
It's not me you're dying for
Now she's feeling more alone
Than she ever has before

She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere
She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly

As weeks went by
It showed that she was not fine
They told me son, it's time to tell the truth

She broke down, and I broke down
Cause I was tired of lying

Driving home to her apartment
For a moment we're alone
Yeah she's alone
I'm alone
Now I know it

She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere
She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly

What a Wonderful World -

As sung by the Great Satchmo.

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shakin' hands, sayin' "How do you do?"
They're really saying "I love you"

I hear babies cryin', I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself, what a wonderful world

Oh yeah

Simon...the sad Bobby Goldsboro song was "Honey", I think.

Someone mentioned Starry, Starry Night. Don't know if that ones different from Don McClean's "Vincent" but I like that one alot.

I like the song "Silver Springs" sung by Stevie Nicks. It's a melancholy song written by her about her relationship with Lindsey Buckingham. A very passionate song too.

Cicatrix

I don't know the name of the song, but part of it goes

My name is Luka

I live on the second floor

I live upstairs from you....

They only hit until you cry

After that you don't ask why

You just don't argue anymore...

or something like that.

Matty

That was Luka by Suzanne Vega Cicatrix. She was brilliant. Actually she still is, but her heyday was the "Marlene on the Wall" period.

Peace to you all...

There is one song that makes me choke up EVERY time I hear it: "Vincent" sung by either Josh Groban or Jane Oliver.

It was written about artist Vincent Van Gogh, who committed suicide. Beautiful song... wrenches my heart every time I hear it because I always think of people who take their own lives because they just don't feel heard or understood... or have lost all hope. And there's a lot of folks, particularly young ones/teenagers, who feel that way... as well as "sheep" who've been ostracized! When I hear this song, my heart and spirit... and flesh... cries... for them all...

Again, peace to you all!
