A day for me to discuss music

Lyrics

I knew a man, called him Sandy Cane
Few folks even knew his name
But a hero, yes was he
Left a boy, came back a man
Still many just don’t understand
About the reasons we are free
I can’t forget the look in his eyes
Or the tears he cried
As he said these words to me

All Gave Some, Some Gave All
Some stood through for the red, white and blue
And some had to fall
And if you ever think of me
Think of all your liberties and recall
Some Gave All

Now Sandy Cane is no longer here
But his words are oh so clear
As they echo throughout our land
For all his friends who gave us all
Who stood their ground and took the fall
To help their fellow man
Love your country and live with pride
And don’t forget those who died
America can’t you see?

All Gave Some, Some Gave All
Some stood through for the red, white and blue
And some had to fall
And if you ever think of me
Think of all your liberties and recall
Some Gave All

And if you ever think of me
Think of all your liberties and recall
Yes recall
Some Gave All
Some Gave All

My 2 Cents –

There are not too many “Patriotic” songs that I really like. I find that there are too many problems to feel truly proud of this country…but I was born in the USA…and This is our Independence day. So… This is a nod to that.

Memorial Day

My great grandparents are buried in Arlington National Cemetery. My Great Grandfather was one of Black Jack Pershing’s Own. My family is filled with many who served. Today in America we honor those who served and are gone. (Veteran’s Day is for the living, Memorial Day is for the dead.) Today…I remember my Great Grandparents.

Artsy Fartsy Thursday

Happy Ostara! Also known as the Spring equinox. Chicks seemed like a good art idea to celebrate with.

World Poetry Day!

So, to celebrate…here is 3 older poems and one new one. Go write, read and celebrate Poetry!

Yule

Though I am scheduling it ahead…this will be posting on Yule. I will be with my family enjoying my Solstice. I wish all of you the bright blessing of whatever holiday you celebrate at this time of year. (The above image is my own art.)

A day for me to discuss music

Lyrics –

Hark, how the bells
Sweet silver bells
All seem to say
“Throw cares away”
Christmas is here
Bringing good cheer (good cheer)
To young and old
Meek and the bold, oh
People sing songs of good cheer
Christmas time is here
Oh, how they pound (oh, how they pound)
Raising the sound (raising the sound)
O’er hill and dale (o’er hill and dale)
Telling their tale (telling their tale)
People sing songs of good cheer (people sing songs of good cheer)
Christmas is here (Christmas time is here)
People sing songs of good cheer
Christmas time is here

My 2 Cents – a lovely seasonal tune.

Lyrics –

Silent Night, Solstice Night,

quiet rest

Till the rest turning the rolling wheel

brings the winter to comfort and heal

rest your spirit in peace

rest your spirit in peace

My 2 Cents – As a pagan I have always loved the songs the Christians have during this time of year but often felt uncomfortable with them because of the religious overtones on them. I love how this does not have the religious overtones, but it has the lovely softness of the carol. The singer is absolutely amazing as well.

Lyrics –

The voices in my head keep on telling me to pray
‘Cause I’m spinning like a carousel, circling the drain
Hit the bottom of the bottle, I don’t wanna feel the pain
But that is all I got for now, I don’t wanna talk about it
The voices in my head keep on begging me to stay
If I pull the trigger now then the demons go away
And I know my time is coming so there ain’t no time to waste
So that is all I got for now, I don’t wanna talk about it
The voices in my head keep telling me to choose a side
It’s heaven or hell like it’s do or die
I’m a sad boy, you know better
Please don’t make this last forever
The voices in my head keep telling me I’m not okay
It’s feeling like a hurricane in my brain
Dark clouds, hard times, bad weather
Please don’t make this last forever
The voices in my head keep telling me I’m gonna (die)
And I don’t wanna talk about the drama, I’m trauma (tized)
They’re tellin’ me I’m fine but we both know that’s a fuckin’ (lie)
I’m losing my mind but I don’t wanna talk about it
The voices in my head keep giving me the worst advice
Kamikaze crash like a suicide
I’m a lost boy, you know better
Please don’t make this last forever
The voices in my head keep telling me I’m insane
And maybe I’m a little bit, that won’t change
Dark clouds, hard times, bad weather
Please don’t make this last forever
The voices in my head keep telling me I’m gonna (die)
And I don’t wanna talk about the drama, I’m trauma (tized)
They’re tellin’ me I’m fine but we both know that’s a fuckin’ (lie)
I’m losing my mind but I don’t wanna talk about
The voices in my head keep telling me I’m cursed
I’m paranoid, I don’t wanna make it any worse
We’re all gonna die but first things first
I’ma take the world with me when they put me in the dirt
The voices in my head keep telling me I’m cursed
I’m paranoid, I don’t wanna make it any worse
We’re all gonna die but first things first
I’ma take the world with me when they put me in the dirt
Move
(Move)
Voices in my head keep telling me I’m cursed
I’m paranoid, I don’t wanna make it any worse
We’re all gonna die, first things first
I’ma take the world with me when they put me in the dirt
The voices in my head keep telling me I’m gonna (die)
And I don’t wanna talk about the drama, I’m trauma (tized)
They’re tellin’ me I’m fine but we both know that’s a fuckin’ (lie)
I’m losing my mind but I don’t wanna talk about it
The voices in my head keep on telling me to pray
‘Cause I’m spinning like a carousel, circling the drain
Hit the bottom of the bottle, I don’t wanna feel the pain
I’m losing my mind but I don’t wanna talk about it

My 2 Cents – this is the time of year when mental health is the hardest to deal with. Addiction, family issues, and simply put trauma responses end up making it more than disaster… and then those who are trying to find the way to handle the mental health problems end up feeling like they are to blame for ruining the holidays. You can really never tell what someone else is going through. Be kind, please.

Holiday, cold, and busy days

So I know that I have been awol for a couple of days. That is because of the above picture. My porch has been needing replaced for a few months…due to safety issues. We have been trying to get everyone together to get it done and the weather to cooperate. Yesterday and today has been a good shot… but I don’t do well with being out in the cold and working. so I have been unable to get the blog together. I have gotten the poem a day done but haven’t been able to get the image to the blog. I am so very thankful for my friends. Hopefully my porch will be done today. The holiday is likely to interrupt the posting. So I am planning on returning to this on Monday after the holiday. So I wish you all a happy Thanksgiving.

Lyrics:

Wanna be loved every night
Wanna know she’s only mine
Breathe her in, give me life
Got all these hearts in line
They all wasting their time
‘Cause only you do me right

Baby, you should pick up the phone
‘Cause I’m wondering if you’re alone
‘Cause I’m driving down Sunset
If you’re ’round, come get it
If you come, come get it

I wanna be missed like every night
I wanna be kissed like it’s the last time
Say you can’t eat
Can’t sleep, can’t breathe without me
I wanna be held, fragile like glass
‘Cause I’ve never felt nothing like that
Say you can’t walk
Can’t talk, go on without me

Aren’t you tired every day?
‘Cause I run through your brain
Hold me down, keep me safe
This is as good as it gets
Don’t you dare second guess
Only want you saying yes

Baby, you should pick up the phone
‘Cause I’m wondering if you’re alone
‘Cause I’m driving down Sunset
If you’re ’round, come get it
If you come, come get it

I wanna be missed like every night
I wanna be kissed like it’s the last time
Say you can’t eat
Can’t sleep, can’t breathe without me
I wanna be held, fragile like glass
‘Cause I’ve never felt nothing like that
Say you can’t walk
Can’t talk, go on without me

Say, say you can’t eat
Say, say you can’t sleep
Say, say you can’t breathe
You can’t breathe without me
You can’t breathe without me

I wanna be missed like every night
I wanna be kissed like it’s the last time
Say you can’t eat
Can’t sleep, can’t breathe without me
I wanna be held, fragile like glass
‘Cause I’ve never felt nothing like that
Say you can’t walk
Can’t talk, go on without me

I wanna be missed, come hold me
I wanna be kissed, come feel me
Come, come make me feel missed (I wanna be missed)
Come, come make me feel missed
I wanna be held, come hold me
I wanna be felt, come feel me
Come on make me feel missed (come on make me feel)
Girl, come make me feel missed
Make me feel missed

My Two Cents-

It’s pride month and I couldn’t resist the urge to post a girlfriend song. I really enjoy this song. I am Pansexual. My blog is always a safe place for all. What is your favorite Gay song?
