Largeness

Nothing so large can be contained in one song. Still, though, in the spirit of the game: Monster Magnet, "Ego, the Living Planet":

Going down now

The mountain screamed three times today
I guess it thought it'd like to play
How much does one have to pay
To fry a peak and melt away
Launching titan's breath on mine
The sweating measure lands on time

And the old man is down by the river
Well he gets up and he walks on down
To the spaceship that's parked at your doorstep
And it's waiting to take you away now

Goin' down now
Goin' down now

Looking for the rate that crowed
He's hooked up down in Mexico
Slap my nerve now give me more
It's my disaster friend, not yours

And the old man is down by the river
Well he gets up and he walks on down
Ah, to the spaceship that's parked at your doorstep
And it's waiting to take you away now

And the last one, it's down by the river
Where he gets up and he walks on down
Ah, to the spaceship that's parked at your doorstep
And it's waiting to take you away now

It's down by the river
It's always this way now
It's down by the river
It's always this way now

Goin' down now
Goin' down now

Now
Now
Now

Down
Down
Down

 

Oooo I also like Monster Magnet!

 

Otis Redding - When a man loves a woman
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHS8LAqHyHs

What questions does he ask himself?
Classic old song.

When a man loves a woman, can't keep his mind on nothing else
He'll trade the world for the good thing he's found
If she's bad he can't see it she can do no wrong
Turn his back on his best friend if he put her down

When a man loves a woman, spend his very last dime
Tryin' to hold on to what he needs
He'd give up all his comfort, sleep out in the rain
If she said that's the way it ought to be

Well, this man loves a woman
I gave you everything I had
Tryin' to hold on to your precious love
Baby, please don't treat me bad

When a man loves a woman, down deep in his soul
She can bring him such misery
If she plays him for a fool, he's the last one to know
Lovin' eyes don't ever see

Well, this man loves a woman
I gave you everything I had
Tryin' to hold on to your precious love
Baby, please don't treat me bad

When a man loves a woman, I know exactly how he feels
Coz baby baby baby you're my world

Exile - I Wanna Kiss You All Over (1978)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJJQpSzDgC0


Exile - Kiss You All Over

When I get home, babe, gonna light your fire
All day I've been thinkin' about you, babe
You're my one desire

Gonna wrap my arms around you
Hold you close to me
Oh, babe I wanna taste your lips
I wanna fill your fantasy, yeah

I don't what I'd do without you, babe
Don't know where I'd be
You're not just another lover
No, you're everything to me

Ev'rytime I'm with you, baby
I can't believe it's true
When you're layin' in my arms
And you do the things you do

You can see it in my eyes
I can feel it in your touch
You don't have to say a thing
Just let me show how much
I love you, I need you, yeah

I wanna kiss you all over
And over again
I wanna kiss you all over
Till the night closes in
Till the night closes in

Stay with me, lay with me, holding me, loving me,
baby
Here with me, near with me, feeling you close to me,
baby

So show me, show me ev'rything you do
'cause baby no one does it quite like you

I love you, I need you, oh, babe

I wanna kiss you all over
And over again
I wanna kiss you all over
Till the night closes in
Till the night closes in

Till the night closes in
Till the night closes in
Till the night closes in

 

Hmm, tough decision. Probably Simple Man by Lynyrd Skynyrd, although I like the Shinedown version better.

Either that or Live In Love by Times Of Grace.

 

"Last Chance" by Shooting Star. I like "I'd love to change the world" by Ten Years After, too, but the message seems a bit ambiguous in some areas. I couldn't listen to any of the videos and post any links because the sound on my computer is muted and no volume control is showing.

Seize the moment!!

Lyrics:
When the stranger came to town
All the people watched with wonder
In their tattered clothes
Gathered 'round and raised their eyes up from the dirt

And the stranger said to them
I have been upon the mountain
I have witnessed forces, like cannons
That could ram you to the ground

Stand up on your feet
'Cause your life is short as hell
You could be dead tomorrow
Today may be your

Last chance to believe in yourself
Your last chance to yell
Your last chance to be good to yourself
Your last chance to drink from life's well

In the crowd a voice was heard
Should we get them before they get you
Should we strike the first blow
He said no, no, no, you don't understand

The enemy is in your heart
Self-respect robbed by self-pity
Look across the country
All the people with their dreams dead in their hearts

Stand up your feet
'Cause your life is short as hell
You could be dead tomorrow
Today may be your

Last chance to believe in yourself
Your last chance to yell
Your last chance to be good to yourself
Your last chance to drink from life's well

So drink from the well
Oh yeah

It could be your
Last chance to believe in yourself
Your last chance to yell
Your last chance to be good to yourself
Your last chance to drink from life's well

Drink from the well
Oh yeah
Yeah

Drink from the well

I was into the Blues years ago, I enjoyed that too.

 

I would have to write my own song to best describe my views on life but there are several songs that speak to me.

Songwriters: BROWNE, JACKSON
Boy of mine
As your fortune comes to carry you down the line
And you watch as the changes unfold
And you sort among the stories you've been told
If some pieces of the picture are hard to find
And the answers to your questions are hard to hold

Take good care of your mother
When you're making up your mind
Should one thing or another take you from behind
Though the world may make you hard and wild
And determine how your life is styled
When you've come to feel that you're the only child
Take good care of your brother

Let the disappointments pass
Let the laughter fill your glass
Let your illusions last until they shatter
Whatever you might hope to find
Among the thoughts that crowd your mind
There won't be many that ever really matter

But take good care of your mother
And remember to be kind
When the pain of another will serve you to remind
That there are those who feel themselves exiled
On whom the fortune never smiled
And upon whose life the heartache has been piled
They're just looking for another
Lonely child

And when you've found another soul
Who sees into your own
Take good care of each other

Blue Collar by Bachman-Turner OverDrive

Walk your street
And I'll walk mine
And should we meet
Would you spare me some time

'Cause you should see my world
Meet my kind
Before you judge our minds

Blue collar

Sleep your sleep
I'm awake and alive
I keep late hours
Your nine to five

So I would like you know
I need the quiet hours
To create in this world of mine

Blue collar

I'd like you to know at four in the morning
Things are coming mine
All I've seen, all I've done
And those I hope to find

I'd like to remind you at four in the morning
My world is very still
The air is fresh under diamond skies
Makes me glad to be alive

You keep that beat
And I keep time
Your restless face
Is no longer mine

I rest my feet
While the world's in heat
And I wish that you could do the same

Blue collar

Blue collar

So, something about me. I've been playing piano since I was a kid. After my dad died, I was lost, and ended up taking piano lessons. It changed my life during that time. Piano was my spirit...it brought me to places...where I could feel my dad with me. I played Clair De Lune by Claude Debussy, it was one of my first pieces that I learned for piano. I played it in a high school competition many moons ago...and I won! I thought of my dad the whole time...and how he inspired the piece, it came to be. It was Debussy's 151st birthday yesterday, and if he only knew how he has touched my life...if only...

One could say this piece definitely shaped my life...

Enjoy...
