A day for me to discuss music

Lyrics

I got my first real six-string
Bought it at the five and dime
Played it ’til my fingers bled
Was the summer of ’69
Me and some guys from school
Had a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit and Jody got married
I should’ve known we’d never get far
Oh, when I look back now
That summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice
Yeah, I’d always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life
Ain’t no use in complainin’
When you got a job to do
I spent my evenings down at the drive-in
And that’s when I met you, yeah!
Standin’ on your mama’s porch
You told me that you’d wait forever
Oh, and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Oh, yeah
Back in the summer of ’69, oh
Man, we were killin’ time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothing can last forever
Forever, no
Yeah
And now the times are changin’
Look at everything that’s come and gone
Sometimes when I play that old six-string
I think about you, wonder what went wrong
Standin’ on your mama’s porch
You told me that it’d last forever
Oh, and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Oh, yeah
Back in the summer of ’69, uh-huh
It was the summer of ’69, oh, yeah
Me and my baby in ’69, oh, oh
It was the summer, summer, summer of ’69
(Yeah)

My 2 Cents –

Summer is just about here… and time is flying. I love this song and I felt like it is just the right way to end May.

A day for me to discuss music

Lyrics

I saw somebody leap to the other world
Jumping off the edge left behind his hope
But he could fly for a second incredible
I wonder what it was like when he finally fell

They say you hit the water and then it’s gone
All the tears you cried all the pain you felt
But is it worth all the hurt that you’ve probably caused
When they find that you don’t make it back to shore

To be honest
Sometimes I think about all of the same things
I wish I could go back so I could change all of my memories
‘Cause all of them are sad
All the drinks I had
Turned into a pool of misery
I wonder if I’m better drowning

I tell myself
No no no no no no no no
No
I try to tell myself
No no no no no no no no
No

They celebrate the life that they never knew
Can’t point out the elephant in the room
Most people can’t understand what you’re going through
So in the end does it matter the path you choose?

To be honest
Sometimes I feel like I’m feeling the same things
I wish there was a way that I could tell this to my family
But they’d only be sad
Maybe I don’t have
Any point in being here
It’s so unclear if I’m swimming or sinking

I tell myself
No no no no no no no no
No
I try to tell myself
No no no no no no no no
No

I’ll turn my headlights on
Speeding ‘cross the bridge
No it won’t be long
But I got to be strong

And I tell myself
No no no no no no no no
I gotta tell myself
No no no no no no no no

And I tell myself
No no no no no no no no
I gotta tell myself
No no no no no no no no

I tell myself

My 2 Cents –

This song is so poetic. I love the way it flows.

A day for me to discuss music

Lyrics

In the woods I met a man
Old as oak and staff in hand
Sunken eyes but gentle smile
We sat down and talked awhile

And he said I can see it in your eyes
You’ve been hurt a couple times
I’ve got the perfect antidote
To cure a heart of stone

Tiny red pills in a big blue bottle
He put them right in my hands
Said this stuff can do wonders take you to nirvana
Make you a better man

I should’ve known something was amiss
When I saw his smile turn to a grin
But
Then as he left me
There so perplexed
He turned and said

One to numb the hurt
Two to ease the pain
Three to clear your mind
Forget all the hate
Take as I advised
Not more than prescribed
Several weeks ahead
You’ll be fine again

One to numb the hurt
Two to ease the pain
Three to clear your mind
Forget all the hate
Take as I advised
Not more than prescribed
Several weeks ahead
You’ll be fine again

So I went home
My heart confused
Didn’t know just what to do
I popped the cap
And took a dose
After all what could I lose

And then I touched the clouds and bathed in sky
A magic broom a carpet ride
Before I fell and woke in bed
Tried to repeat the words he said

One to numb the hurt
Two to ease the pain
Three to clear my mind
Forget all my hate
What did he say next
I forget the rest
But several weeks ahead
I’ll be fine again

One to numb the hurt
Two to ease the pain
Three to clear my mind
Forget all my hate
Five could never hurt
Just to calm my nerves
Several weeks ahead
I’ll be fine again

Tiny red pills in a big blue bottle
Wish I had the strength back then
Need to get a refill chase away the evil
All the whispers in my head

But I can’t find the man I knocked on his door
His neighbors say no one lived there before
So now all my days
Just blur in a haze
They go like this

One to stop the chills
Two to ease the pain
Three to wash my guilt
Forget all my shame
Five could never hurt
Six couldn’t be worse
Seven days it’s been
Here we go again

One to stop the chills
Two to ease the pain
Three to wash my guilt
Forget all my shame
Five could never hurt
Six couldn’t be worse
Seven days it’s been
Here we go again

Here we go again
Here we go again
Oh

To stop the pain
Forget my shame
Ah

One
Two
Three
Four
Five
Six

My 2 Cents –

This has a fun feel but it talks about addiction. I feel like that is ofttimes how addiction is…it seems fun on the outside, but It is not near as fun inside.

Lyrics

If I were a tardigrade I’d move out from home
Why live in the shrubbery when you could have a throne?
Pressure wouldn’t squash me and fire couldn’t burn
These are the things that I never will learn
These are the things I never will learn…
Lai, lai-lai-lai lai lai, lai-lai lai-lai lai lai, lai
Lai, lai-lai-lai lai lai, lai-lai lai-lai lai lai
I live in the shrubbery, for that’s all I crave (Ah ha)
I don’t want these excitements to see me to my grave (Ah ha)
I can live life in vacuums for years with no drink (Ah ha)
And put up with hardships more than you can think
And put up with hardships more than you can think…
Lai, lai-lai-lai lai lai, lai-lai lai-lai lai lai, lai
Lai, lai-lai-lai lai lai, lai-lai lai-lai lai lai
If I shed all my liquid and let myself dry out
I’ll shrivel and sleep for some 15-odd years
I’d wake up, come water, and get on with living
With time in my pocket to pass by the day
If I were a tardigrade I’d move out from home (Ah ha)
Why live in the shrubbery when you could have a throne? (Ah ha)
Pressure wouldn’t squash me and fire couldn’t burn (Ah ha)
These are the things that I will never learn
These are the things I never will learn…
Lai, lai-lai-lai lai lai, lai-lai lai-lai lai lai, lai
Lai, lai-lai-lai lai lai, lai-lai lai-lai lai lai
Lai, lai-lai-lai lai lai, lai-lai lai-lai lai lai, lai
Lai, lai-lai lai-lai, lai-lai lai-lai…
For I am a tardigrade (Ah ha)
And I’ll stay at home (Ah ha)
I’d not trade it for anything (Ah ha)
Not a knife, a cup or a throne (Woo ooh, ooh ooh ooh)
Well, all I want is my shrubbery (Ah ha)
And my little patch of moss (Ah ha)
With my whisky in the cabinet (Ah ha)
And my feet all clothed in socks
And my feet clothed in socks…
Lai, lai-lai-lai lai lai, lai-lai lai-lai lai lai, lai
Lai, lai-lai-lai lai lai, lai-lai lai-lai lai lai
Lai, lai-lai-lai lai lai, lai-lai lai-lai lai lai, lai
Lai, lai-lai-lai lai lai, lai-lai lai-lai lai lai

My 2 Cents –

Maybe May should be just fun songs? A suggestion from my daughter and it is such a fun song.

Lyrics

K ready?
One, two, three, four

[Verse 1]
If I were a fish and you caught me
You’d say, “Look at that fish”
Shimmering in the sun
Such a rare one
Can’t believe that you caught one
If I were a fish and you caught me
You’d say look at that fish
Heaviest in the sea
You’d win first prize
If you caught me

My 2 Cents –

This is just such a cute little song. And the trends with it brings a smile.
