Kellylee Evans - Hands Up



From Kellylee...

Dear You,

Yes, you. Wonderful, amazing You. Each time I come on this page to read your well wishes, my heart just feels so very full. I am so thankful for your love and support. So thankful.

I never expected help, nor did I expect this response. But I never expected to be injured either. What a lesson in how beauty can grow out of painful experiences. Please know how much your love, positive messages and positive energy is doing for my family and for me. You have given me the opportunity and the permission to truly rest and get better. I'm going to go do that now. Thank you.

I love and appreciate you. Yes, you. Wonderful, amazing You

Fragile - Sting Stevie Wonder




"Fragile"

If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun

 Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay

 Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument

 That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could

 For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are

On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star

 On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are how fragile we are

On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star

 On and on the rain will say

 How fragile we are how fragile we are
How fragile we are how fragile we are

The Beatles- Something (if you think this song is for YOU) It is!







"Something"Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she woos me

I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe her now

Somewhere in her smile she knows
That I don't need no other lover
Something in her style that shows me

Don't want to leave her now
You know I believe her now

You're asking me will my love grow
I don't know, I don't know
You stick around now it may show
I don't know, I don't know

Something in the way she knows
And all I have to do is think of her
Something in the things she shows me

Don't want to leave her now
You know I believe her now
....

HIS LAST PUBLIC APPEARANCE George Harrison
- The Last Performance (John Fugelsang)















 
Another one of George's best songs, and one of my favourite in the entire Beatles catalogue. Happy Valentine's Day!

"Something" is a song released by The Beatles in 1969. It was featured on the album Abbey Road, and was also the first song written by George Harrison to appear on the A-side of a Beatles single. It was one of the first Beatles singles to contain tracks already available on a long playing (LP) album, with both "Something" and "Come Together" having appeared on Abbey Road. "Something" was the only Harrison composition to top the American charts while he was in The Beatles.

John Lennon and Paul McCartney—the two principal songwriting members of the band—both praised "Something" as among the best songs Harrison had written. As well as critical acclaim, the single achieved commercial success, topping the Billboard charts in the United States, and entering the top 10 in the United Kingdom. The song has been covered by over 150 artists including Elvis Presley, Shirley Bassey, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, James Brown, Radiohead, Julio Iglesias, Smokey Robinson and Joe Cocker, and is the second-most covered Beatles song after "Yesterday".

During the 1968 recording sessions for The Beatles (also referred to as the White Album), Harrison began working on a song that eventually became known as "Something". The song's first lyrics ("Something in the way she moves/Attracts me like no other lover") were adapted from an unrelated song by fellow Apple artist James Taylor called "Something In The Way She Moves" and used as filler while the melody was being developed.

Harrison later said that "I had a break while Paul was doing some overdubbing so I went into an empty studio and began to write. That's really all there is to it, except the middle took some time to sort out. It didn't go on the White Album because we'd already finished all the tracks." A demo recording of the song by Harrison from this period appears on the Beatles Anthology 3 collection, released in 1996.

Many believe that Harrison's inspiration for "Something" was his wife at the time, Pattie Boyd. Boyd also claimed that inspiration in her 2007 autobiography, Wonderful Tonight, where she wrote: "He told me, in a matter-of-fact way, that he had written it for me."

However, Harrison has cited other sources of inspiration to the contrary. In a 1996 interview he responded to the question of whether the song was about Pattie: "Well no, I didn't [write it about her]. I just wrote it, and then somebody put together a video. And what they did was they went out and got some footage of me and Pattie, Paul and Linda, Ringo and Maureen, it was at that time, and John and Yoko and they just made up a little video to go with it. So then, everybody presumed I wrote it about Pattie, but actually, when I wrote it, I was thinking of Ray Charles."

The original intention had been for Harrison to offer the song to Jackie Lomax, as had been done with the previous Harrison composition, "Sour Milk Sea." When this fell through, the song was given to Joe Cocker (who had previously covered The Beatles' "With a Little Help from My Friends"); his version came out two months before that of The Beatles. During the Get Back recording sessions for what eventually became Let It Be, Harrison considered using "Something," but eventually decided against it due to his fear that insufficient care would be taken in its recording; his earlier suggestion of "Old Brown Shoe" had not gone down well with the band. It was only during the recording sessions for Abbey Road that The Beatles began seriously working on "Something."

The lead vocalist for "Something" was George Harrison. The song runs at a speed of about sixty-six beats per minute and is in common time throughout. The melody begins in the key of C major. It continues in this key throughout the intro and the first two verses, until the eight-measure-long bridge, which is in the key of A major. After the bridge, the melody returns to C Major for the guitar solo, the third verse, and the outro. Although The Beatles had initially attempted an edgier acoustic version of the song, this was dropped along with the counter-melody. A demo of the acoustic version with the counter-melody included was later released as part of Anthology 3. On the final release, the counter-melody was replaced by an instrumental break, and the song was given a softer tone with the introduction of a string arrangement by George Martin, The Beatles' producer.

Simon Leng said the song's theme is doubt and uncertainty. Richie Unterberger of Allmusic described it as "an unabashedly straightforward and sentimental love song" at a time "when most of the Beatles' songs were dealing with non-romantic topics or presenting cryptic and allusive lyrics even when they were writing about love".

Leonard Cohen - The Future (Lyrics)

“Destroy another fetus now, we don’t like children anyhow . . .”

Leonard Cohen sees the future: “It is murder.” He’s a prophet who describes in graphic detail the horrors of the dystopian world that Dalrymple describes (in my previous post) and Planned Parenthood embodies and celebrates. Kyrie eleison.

Leona Lewis - The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face Lyrics




The first time, ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars
Were the gifts you gave
To the dark, and the endless skies
 
And the first time, ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hands
Like the trembling heart
Of a captive bird
That was there, at my command, my love
 
And the first time, ever I lay with you
I felt your heart so close to mine
And I knew our joy
Would fill the earth

And last, til the end of time, my love
 
The first time, ever I saw
Your face, your face
Your fa-ace, your face

Foreigner - Waiting for a Girl Like You [Lyrics]

No Mercy- And I Miss You

bb



And I miss you..like the deserts miss the rain.
And I miss you...
I step off the train
I'm walking down your street again,
Pass your door,
But you don't live there anymore..
It's years since you've been there.
And now you've disappeared somewhere.
Like outer space,
You've found some better place.
And I miss you..like the deserts miss the rain..
And I miss you...
Could you be dead?
You always were
Two steps ahead of everyone.
We'd walk behind..
While you would run..
And the years have proved..
To offer nothing..
Since you moved
And you're long gone..
And I can't move on
And I miss you..
And I miss you..like the deserts miss the rain..
