Today I am sharing a song that I am honestly not sure who is the original artist. I got it off of a Nightcore channel. Nightcore takes songs done by others and pairs them with anime videos. They sometimes adjust vocals… Male voices /female voices/deeper voices …etc. The song was written by Toderick Hall.
[Pre-Chorus 1] Pay no attention To the man behind the curtain He’s a brainless, heartless, coward With no power That’s just another trick of his He ain’t no wiz so don’t feed his fire Jump in my balloon I’ll take you higher Take you somewhere over the rainbow Get your ticket to the show Heels clicking, here we go Cause you already know
[Chorus] There’s no place like (home) There’s no place like (home) There’s no place like (home) There’s no place like (We’re straight out of Oz) There’s no place like home
[Verse 1] Is where the heart is Some brainiacs will tell you home is where your house and car is But if you’re brave enough to love the ones you hate the hardest You might find (home) You might find (home) Cause sometimes
Home is where your deepest scar is Society will try to cast you where they think your part is Give awards and accolades to what they think a star is But go find your (home) Go find your (home)
[Pre-Chorus 2] Pay no attention To the lies they try to feed ya It’s a wicked, twisted fable He’s not stable It’s just another box of tricks Some crock of shit And good dreams go Wasted Hungry for the fame Don’t let them taste it He’s been stealin’ dreams 9 to 5, Monday to Friday Imma tell the story my way Cause the only way home ain’t on this yellow brick highway
[Chorus] There’s no place like (home) (hey) There’s no place like (home) (hey) There’s no place like (home) (oooh) There’s no place like (We’re straight out of Oz, there’s no place like)
[Bridge] And if you’re lost out there In the night, wishing on stars Wonderin’ who you are Just know that you’re never alone And there’s no place like home
And we gon’ fight and we gon’ cry And I’m gon’ fight for you until I die Right there is right where you belong And there’s no place like home
[Pre-Chorus 3] Pay no attention To the man who’ll try to change ya He’s a dark, familiar, stranger But that’s a danger The storm is strong But it won’t be long And no matter where you roam There’s no place like Home
So… My grandma used to call catalogs wish books. And a little wishing never hurt. Amazon is an online version of those wish books… So I made a birthday wishlist! 😂 My birthday is Friday the 13th. And I am celebrating y’all.
Lyrics – Dreaming comes so easily Cause it’s all that I’ve known True love is a fairy tale I’m damaged, so how would I know
I’m scared and I’m alone I’m ashamed, and I need for you to know
I didn’t say all the things that I wanted to say And you can’t take back what you’ve taken away Cause I feel you, I feel you near me
I didn’t say all the things that I wanted to say And you can’t take back what you’ve taken away Cause I feel you, I feel you near me
Healing comes so painfully And it chills to the bone Will anyone get close to me? I’m damaged, as I’m sure you know
I’m scared and I’m alone I’m ashamed and I need for you to know
I didn’t say all the things that I wanted to say And you can’t take back what you’ve taken away Cause I feel you, I feel you near me
I didn’t say all the things that I wanted to say And you can’t take back what you’ve taken away Cause I feel you, I feel you near me
There’s mending for my soul An ending to this fear Forgiveness for a man who was stronger I was just a little girl, but I can’t go back
I didn’t say all the things that I wanted to say And you can’t take back what you’ve taken away Cause I feel you, I feel you near me
I didn’t say all the things that I wanted to say And you can’t take back what you’ve taken away Cause I feel you, oh, I feel you near me
Can’t go back Can’t go back Can’t go back Can’t go back Can’t go back I can’t go back I can’t go back I must go on I must go on I must go on I must go on I must go on I must go on I must go on
My 2 cents – I think that music that resonates most is often music that we see ourselves in. I, thusly, tend towards the music of survival and broken hearts. This song has always resonated. It truly speaks to the broken heart.
The editors on coffee house writers challenged the poetry department to write a sestina. That is so out of my wheelhouse, so I am very proud of the result. So proud that I used it for my post this time.
Lyrics – A distant lullaby, dying from my sight A glow is amiss, fleeting from my side Oh why, oh why Alone in a cruel world Leaves me Cold and curled But then Friends Warmth Eyes that gleam A glow returns once more it seems I want hair like yours I want hands like yours I want fingers that curl in the cold like yours I want eyes to stare And to cry When I’m feeling scared like you Just like you Soft lullabies, never leave my side Glowing warm fur and gleaming round eyes Isolated no more My friends Don’t struggle there is no point You’ll never be alone From now Friends Warmth Never leave Struggling only make the hugs much tighter I want hair like yours I want hands like yours Fingers that curl in the cold like yours I want eyes to stare And to cry When I’m feeling scared like you Just like you I want hair like yours I want hands like yours Fingers that curl in the cold like yours I want eyes to stare And to cry When I’m feeling scared Like you
My 2 cents- I am new to this song. I was drawing a blank as to the song to pick today… There are just so many good options… So I asked my 16 year old to suggest a song. Now mind you, she is where I go to for new music. Her tastes tend to run the gauntlet, but she usually suggests songs that I fall in love with. She appears to have chosen a Gothic tune to share this time. I love the melody and the lyrics are really good.
So since I got today’s song from her… I ask you, what song would you want to share with me?
Lyrics – They cry in the dark So you can’t see their tears They hide in the light So you can’t see their fears Forgive and forget All the while Love and pain become one and the same In the eyes of a wounded child Because hell, hell is for children And you know that their little lives can become such a mess Hell, hell is for children And you shouldn’t have to pay for your love With your bones and your flesh It’s all so confusing this brutal abusing They blacken your eyes and then apologize Be daddy’s good girl, and don’t tell mommy a thing Be a good little boy, and you’ll get a new toy Tell grandma you fell from the swing Because hell, hell is for children And you know that their little lives can become such a mess Hell, hell is for children And you shouldn’t have to pay for your love With your bones and your flesh No, hell is for children Hell, hell is for hell Hell is for hell Hell is for children Hell, hell is for hell Hell is for hell Hell is for children Hell, hell is for hell Hell is for hell Hell is for children Hell is for children Hell is for children
My 2 cents – so all of the poets that I will be telling you about helped me to start to heal. Well there were also some songs… This one helped me feel like I was not alone. I felt understood, A rare thing then.
