...Sing Us A Song...

borrowing an idea from the MullMaiden, I decided to put together this soundtrack thing...this was not random, if you were wondering. You will notice, I am sure, that there are no Dylan songs, no Sister Hazel, no Collective Soul....well, that's because I'm going to do it again later with those artists. but for now...

Opening Credits: "These Days" ~ Rascal Flatts

"Go to Bed, Dream of you.
that's what I'm doing these days"

Average Day: "Ordinary Day" ~ Great Big Sea

"it's just an ordinary day,
and it's all your state of mind..."

Love Scene: "Cruisin" ~ Smokey Robinson

"music is played for love
cruisin' is made for love..."

Breaking Up: "Stationary Stationary" ~ Anberlin

"does he treat you like you want?
does he ask to take your hand?"

Long Night Alone: "Here Without You" ~ 3 Doors Down

"I'm here without you, baby.
but you're still with me in my dreams..."

Getting Back Together: "A Day Late" ~ Anberlin

"what made you hesitate to tell me
with words what you really feel?"

Life’s Okay: "Sweet Southern Comfort" ~ Buddy Jewell

"With rusty cars and weeping willows
Keepin watch out in the yard.
Just a snapshot of downhome Dixie,
Could be anywhere you are..."

Driving: "The Open Road" ~ the Gibson Brothers

"there's a hundred-million miles of blacktop
Humming out the sweetest sound"

Learning a Lesson: "Last Train Home" ~ Lostprophets

"but there's still tomorrow, forget the sorrow
and I can be on the last train home"

Happy Dance: "Beautiful Day" ~ U2

"after the flood all the colors came out,
and it was a beautiful day"

Regretting: "The Overgrown Waltz" ~ Bela Fleck

this is an instrumental, but it's as sad as anything out there
to me, it speaks of things long gone

Death Scene: "Some Day" ~ Blue Highway

"and when my body is in the grave,
don't think that I'll be there.
I won't be dead, but living
in the place Jesus went to prepare"


Closing Credits: "Don't Let Me Come Home A Stranger" ~ Robin and Linda Williams

"Will there come a time when the memories fade
And pass on with the long, long years?
When the ties no longer bind?
Lord save me from this darkest fear.
Don't Let Me Come Home A Stranger,
I couldn't stand to be a stranger."


Good Day...

...She Already Is An Old Maid...

Good Day...

...Unpublished Rhyme...

I love this song:

Near a lonely prison wall I heard a young girl calling
Michael they have taken you away
For you stole trevelyens corn so the young might see the morn
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay

Low lie the fields of athenry where once we watched the small free birds fly
Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing
Its so lonely round the fields of athenry

By a lonely prison wall I heard a young man calling
Nothing matters Molly when you're free
Against the famine and the crown I rebelled they cut me down
Now you must raise our child with dignity

Low lie the fields of athenry where once we watched the small free birds fly
Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing
Its so lonely round the fields of athenry

By a lonely harbour wall she watched the last star falling
As the prison ship sailed out against the sky
Sure she'll wait and hope and pray for her love in barney bay
It's so lonely round the fields of athenry

Low lie the fields of athenry where once we watched the small free birds fly
Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing
Its so lonely round the fields of athenry

Good Day...

...Scruffy Looking...

I almost wish I had long hair again...don't you?

















Good Day...
