Lyrics –
Hey, your glass is empty
It’s a hell of a long way home
Why don’t you let me take you?
It’s no good to go alone
I never would have opened up
But you seemed so real to me
And after all the bullshit I’ve heard
Refreshing not to see
That I don’t have to pretend
She doesn’t expect it from me
So, don’t tell me I
Haven’t been good to you
Don’t tell me I
Have never been there for you
Just tell me why
Nothing is good enough
Hey little girl, would you like some candy?
Your Momma said it’s okay
The door is open, come on outside
No, I can’t come out today
It’s not the wind that cracked your shoulder
And threw you to the ground
Who’s there that makes you so afraid?
You’re shaken to the bone
And no, I don’t understand
You deserve so much more than this
So, don’t tell me why
He’s never been good to you
Don’t tell me why
He’s never been there for you
Don’t you know that why
It’s simply not good enough
Oh, so just let me try
I will be good to you
Just let me try
And I will be there for you
I’ll show you why
You’re so much more than
Good enough
So, don’t tell me why
He’s never been good to you
Don’t tell me why
He’s never been there for you
Don’t you know that why
It’s simply not good enough
Oh, so just let me try
I will be good to you
Just let me try
And I will be there for you
I’ll show you why
You’re so much more than
Good enough

My 2 cents –
It’s Pride month Y’all. For those who don’t know, I am Pan sexual. I am Non Binary. And I will be posting more on that topic throughout June. For now, enjoy a great song, and here is a playlist that I made of Girlfriend songs.

Lyrics –

Train roll on
On down the line, won’t you
Please take me far away
Now I feel the wind blow
Outside my door, means I’m
I’m leaving my woman at home, Lordy
Tuesday’s gone with the wind
Oh, my baby’s gone, with the wind
And I don’t know
Oh, where I’m going
I just want to be left alone
Well, when this train ends
I’ll try again, oh but I’m
I’m leaving my woman at home, Lordy
Tuesday’s gone, with the wind
Tuesday’s gone, with the wind
Tuesday’s gone, with the wind
My baby’s gone, with the wind
Train roll on
Tuesday’s gone
The train roll on
A many miles from my home, see I’m
I’m riding my blues away, yeah
Well Tuesday, you see
Oh, she had to be free, Lord but
Somehow I got to carry on, Lordy
Tuesday’s gone, with the wind
Tuesday’s gone, with the wind
Tuesday’s gone, with the wind,
oh My baby’s gone, with the wind
Train, roll on, ooh’
Cause my baby’s gone
I’m riding my blues babe
Trying to ride my blues
Ride on train
Ride on train
Ride my blues, babe
Come back to me, babe
Come back to me, oh, train

My 2 Cents –
Lynard Skynard did it first, but I love Metallica’s cover. This is a song from my teens. Considering the fresh passing of the year, I find myself nostalgic. Craving foods from childhood and listening to the music I loved then. I grew up on country, it was all mama would listen to. I went wild. I listen to everything. Classical, classic rock, country, Rhythm and Blues, Bluegrass, rap, heavy metal, pop. you name the genre and I likely have a favorite band. I firmly believe music shows us who a person is…based on their music preferences. That being said…I will listen to just about anything, and give honest opinions. it is unusual for me to prefer the cover, but this is one where I do, What is your favorite song?

Lyrics

I live inside my own world of make-believe
Kids screaming in their cradles, profanities
I see the world through eyes covered in ink and bleach
Cross out the ones who heard my cries and watched me weep
I love everything
Fire’s spreading all around my room
My world’s so bright
It’s hard to breathe but that’s alright
Hush
Shh
Tape my eyes open to force reality (oh no, no)
Why can’t you just let me eat my weight in glee?
I live inside my own world of make-believe
Kids screaming in their cradles, profanities
Some days I feel skinnier than all the other days
And some days I can’t tell if my body belongs to me
I love everything
Fire’s spreading all around my room
My world’s so bright
It’s hard to breathe but that’s alright
Hush
Shh
I wanna taste your content
Hold your breath and feel the tension
Devils hide behind redemption
Honesty is a one-way gate to hell
I wanna taste consumption
Breathe faster to waste oxygen
Hear the children sing aloud
It’s music ’til the wick burns out
Hush
Just wanna be care free lately, yeah
Just kicking up daisies
Got one too many quarters in my pockets
Count ’em like the four-leaf clovers in my locket
Untied laces, yeah
Just tripping on daydreams
Got dirty little lullabies playing on repeat
Might as well just rot around the nursery and count sheep

My 2 cents
The problem with being so open minded with music is that choosing just one a week to share is tough. Today I went looking for a song that reflected the confusion in my mind most of the time, the creative draw, the pain, the uncertainty… and I came across this. it made sense. so it got selected to share.

Lyrics –

The houses around me
Are filled with people who panic
They hear the noise and the static
And then we all become frantic
We hear the omens and legends
We’re praising gold and our pleasures
We’re looking over our shoulders
Pretend we got it together
Draw the blinds
Check under your bed
Hide your gold
And hold your breath
Feel the ghost
In your chest
Check your pulse
You’re scared to death
Para paranoia
You know what’s coming for ya
Venom in your blood
And there’s no one here to warn ya
Para paranoia
You’ve been here before
Ya can lock up all your doors
But there’s a phantom in your foyer
Para paranoia
Para paranoia
Para paranoia
Controlled by the tension
That’s taking all our attention
To busy with expectations
We’re losing all our convictions
Draw the blinds
Check under your bed
Hide your gold
And hold your breath
Feel the ghost
In your chest
Check your pulse
You’re scared to death
Para paranoia
You know what’s coming for ya
Venom in your blood
And there’s no one here to warn ya
Para paranoia
You’ve been here before
Ya can lock up all your doors
But there’s a phantom in your foyer
Para paranoia
Para paranoia
Para paranoia
Draw the blinds
Check under your bed
Hide your gold
And hold your breath
Feel the ghost
In your chest
Check your pulse
You’re scared to death
Para paranoia
You know what’s coming for ya
Venom in your blood
And there’s no one here to warn ya
Para paranoia
You’ve been here before
Ya can lock up all your doors
But there’s a phantom in your foyer
Para paranoia
You know what’s coming for ya
Venom in your blood
And there’s no one here to warn ya
Para paranoia
You’ve been here before
Ya can lock up all your doors
But there’s a phantom in your foyer
Para paranoia

My 2 Cents-
I asked my daughter for a song for the week, and this was her suggestion. It is a fairly upbeat tune. I like the way the lyrics go. It is not a song I would normally go for admittedly. Still it is not a bad song in all.

Lyrics:
I let myself fall into a lie
I let my walls come down
I let myself smile and feel alive
I let my walls come down
No matter how I try I don’t know why
You push so far away
You wrapped your hands tight around my heart
And squeezed it full of pain
With this knife I’ll cut out the part of me
The part that cares for you
With this knife I’ll cut out the heart of me
The heart that cares for you
I can’t believe the way you took me down
I never saw the pain
Coming in a million broken miles
Like poison in my veins
With this knife I’ll cut out the part of me
The part that cares for you
With this knife I’ll cut out the heart of me
The heart that cares for you
The hate and the fear
The nightmares that wake me up
In the tears
The nightmares and (the hate)…

My 2 Cents:
This song gets a bad rap I think. so many see it as emo. It is expressive and poetic. It feels like a song that I can relate to. sometimes that idea of taking a knife and cutting out the heart that wants to hang onto a toxic love…is strong.

Lyrics –
All gone is here today
Finding room to breathe
Go on beyond your way
And see
And though the sounds of someday
May be home
And though the sounds of someday
May be home
Even the fires on the road
Trying to get away
And all the stars seem on a roll
Out of control today
Though the sounds of someday
May be home
And though the sounds of someday
May be home, yeah
Though the sounds of someday
May be home
Though the sounds of someday
May be home, ay
And though the sounds of someday
May be home, ooh

My 2 Cents –
This song talks of hope…in a world gone crazy it feels like we need hope…in abundance. Jensen has a gorgeous voice, and I need hope…so I went with it.
