Left a Slide by Son Volt - written by Jay Farrar Pattern doesn't match Pictures fall from their base Pulling out of the race Put up the red flag Matters close at hand Cross over the land You get so diffused You wanna kiss the ground Leave no sound Take it up next year Chalk it up to remember Wasted lonely fever The way we've tried Left a slide into harm's way Enough concern to ride it out It's no surprise that it's a long slow fade Let it rest on past ages and signs Pull the stops out Let it unwind It's reaching And finding nothing Weighted down one dale below the hill Minefield's the word from the start Watching out for the worst Never clear 'til it hurts Call it off make amends This life burns down From both ends The way we've tried Left a slide into harm's way Enough concern to ride it out It's no surprise that it's a long slow fade Let it rest on past ages and signs Pull the stops out Let it unwind It's reaching And finding nothing Weighted down one dale below the hill Enough concern to ride it out It's no surprise that it's a long slow fade
Vanic x K.Flay - Can't Sleep I get it, I get it, I'm living too hard & it's time that I stop it, But rising on up & then tumbling down well it's part of the process.
I just love JT and this is one of my favorites of his. Shower The People ~ James Taylor https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_etU9MED4k You can play the game and you can act out the part Though you know it wasn't written for you But tell me, how can you stand there with your broken heart Ashamed of playing the fool One thing can lead to another; it doesn't take any sacrifice Oh, father and mother, sister and brother if it feels nice, don't think twice Just shower the people you love with love Show them the way that you feel Things are gonna work out fine if you only will Shower the people you love with love Show them the way you feel Things are gonna be much better if you only will You can run but you cannot hide This is widely known And what you plan to do with your foolish pride When you're all by yourself alone Once you tell somebody the way that you feel You can feel it beginning to ease I think it's true what they say about the squeaky wheel Always getting the grease. Better to shower the people you love with love Show them the way that you feel Things are gonna be just fine if you only will Shower the people you love with love Show them the way that you feel Things are gonna be much better if you only will Shower the people you love with love Show them the way that you feel You'll feel better right away Don't take much to do Sell you pride They say in every life They say the rain must fall Just like pouring rain Make it rain Make it rain Love, love, love is sunshine. Oh yes Make it rain Love, love, love is sunshine Yeah, all right Everybody, everybody Shower the people you love with love

They are the best bang for your buck you will ever see and really good guys too. Can't Feel A Thing - Bastard from the start but a charming one at that Bad reputation but I really ain't that bad It's alright, I can't feel a thing Beauty from the city dolled up in a dress of gold I like them high heels but she won't wear them no more It's alright, I can't feel a thing She's nothing short of perfect as she's falling to the ground Nothing short of Armageddon is gonna slow her down Nothing short of dying's gonna bring me any peace But I ain't really worried, cause I can't feel a thing Got so much to tell her but the words seem to get lost Bottles empty and I can't complete the call It's alright, I can't feel a thing She ain't on the phone and she ain't on the way And all the messages keep going up in flames It's alright, I can't feel a thing It's nothing short of Vegas and a bar that's never closed Nothing short of lying down and waking up alone And nothing short of dying's gonna bring me any peace Well I ain't really worried, cause I can't feel a thing It's alright, well it's alright A little less pain every time I fall It's alright, its alright Til you get so tired you can't feel nothin' at all Nothin' at all She asked me if I loved her and I showed her the tattoo Wasn't no answer but for then it had to do It's alright, I can't feel a thing I listened to a band at a bar outside downtown There ain't enough girls wearing high heels in this crowd It's alright, I can't feel a thing She's nothing short of perfect as she's falling to the ground Nothing short of Armageddon is gonna slow her down Nothing short of dying's gonna bring me any peace Well I ain't really worried, cause I can't feel a thing Can't feel anything, well I can't feel anything Can't feel a thing

Everybody Needs Love ~ Drive-By Truckers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdTK-qqtrec The moonbeams we can dream on When the working day is done And there's stars we can wish upon At the setting of the sun The sunsets we can cry over Put our troubles on the run But more than all these miracles above Good people, we got love Everybody needs love, love, love Everybody needs love, love, love, love Everybody needs love, love, love Just like they need the sun and moon, and stars up above Ain't nobody ever found happiness Living their lives all alone I used to go around saying I didn't need nobody To be happy and alone And one sad day I found myself in trouble Way down without a friend Along came the love of a real good woman Said she'll love me 'til the end Everybody needs love, love, love Everybody needs love, love, love, love Everybody needs love, love, love Just like they need the sun and moon, and stars up above, mmm
We Shall Be Free ~ Garth Brooks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrtDbA-q8gI This ain't comin' from no prophet Just an ordinary man When I close my eyes I see The way this world shall be When we all walk hand in hand When the last child cries for a crust of bread When the last man dies for just words that he said When there's shelter over the poorest head Then we shall be free When the last thing we notice is the color of skin And the first thing we look for is the beauty within When the skies and the oceans are clean again Then we shall be free We shall be free We shall be free So have a little faith And hold out 'Cause we shall be free When we're free to love anyone we choose When this world's big enough for all different views When we're all free to worship from our own kind of pew Then we shall be free We shall be free We shall be free So stand straight Walk proud 'Cause we shall be free And when money talks for the very last time And nobody walks a step behind When there's only one race and that's mankind Then we shall be free We shall be free We shall be free Together, forever We shall be free We shall be free We shall be free Stand straight, hold out We shall be free
Flies are buzzing around my head Vultures circling the dead Picking up every last crumb The big fish eat the little ones The big fish eat the little ones Not my problem give me some You can try the best you can If you try the best you can The best you can is good enough ~ Radiohead - Optimistic ~
~ Glass Animals - Hazey ~ Your baby's falling You know I’m talking now You know I'm dancing You know I'm racing round No no you're so juiced You said you'd kick the booze You know I'll get bruised You know I'm just a boy Come back baby, don't you cry Don't you drain those big blue eyes I've been crawling Come back baby, don't you cry Just you say the reason why I can calm you You say I’m bawling I say I'm begging while You take my photo I fake my breaking smile I'm f@#king loco I can't get through to you You turn your nose you Spark up and I can go
