"Side" by Travis

Well I believe there's someone watching over you
They're watching every single thing you say
And when you die they'll set you down and take you through
You'll realise one day that the grass is always greener on the other side
The neighbour's got a new car that you wanna drive
And when time is running out you wanna stay alive
We all live under the same sky
We all will live we all will die
There is no wrong
There is no right
The circle only has one side
We all try hard to live our lives in harmony
For fear of falling swiftly overboard
But life is both a major and minor key
Just open up the chord
But the grass is always greener on the otherside
The neighbour's got a new car that you wanna drive
And when time is running out you wanna stay alive
We all live under the same sky
We all live
We all die
There is no wrong
There is no right
The circle only has one side

Nayib's Song (I Am Here For You) - Gloria Estefan

 

[Laverna]

All you wanted --- Michelle Branch

"If you want to
I can save you
I can take you away from here
So lonely inside
So busy out there
And all you wanted
was somebody who cares"

For me, this song represents a very painful period (mostly bullying) in my life, one I drowned out with music and the internet, all the while wanting someone to take me away from it all, even if it was for just a moment. I wanted understanding and caring, someone to cry on and not judge me for wishing death on myself and others. And to me, it was as if she was talking to me in a way, offering to take me away, and just be there for me. And that song served to remind me that someday, I'd find a person who'd care, and that even if I didn't, she'd be there for me in music.

What song is this from Laverna?

Run along little fighter
oh cause I was there beside you
Never stop believing, so rise

rise
rise

Rise again little fighter

Used it on my runs to keep my spirit up and to encourage myself to stand firm stand proud be a warrior and fight to overcome

 

[Marie E.]

Reckless by Papa Roach, for my children and I. For when my children or myself feel out of control.

 

[Laverna]

Run along little fighter
oh cause I was there beside you
Never stop believing, so rise

I believe that one is Littler Fighter by White Lion? I just pasted the lyrics into google and that's what came up.

Joni Mitchell
"Blue"
Blue, songs are like tattoos
You know I've been to sea before
Crown and anchor me or
Let me drift away...

"River"
I wish I had a river so long, it
Would teach my feet to fly

Patty Griffin
"Burgundy shoes"
I'm in my plaid dress and burgundy shoes
Take the bus from bangor
The vinyl is cold
This is the first day
I don't wear my big boots.
Sun, sun, sun, sun

"Careful"
Be careful how you break me
Be careful with me.

Lori McKenna
"Hardly Speaking a Word"
So I wonder, what do they know?
Maybe the problem is me not letting go
Of a little boy who's smarter than me,
Who can't sit still and sees things differently.
And I'm yelling when I should be whispering
I'm pushing when I should be carrying
And I don't understand anything I've heard
I should be yelling "I love you"
But I'm hardly speaking a word

 

[Bloomy]

I think I must mention Gloria Gaynor here with the very classic I will survive
Many tend to sing this song about their partner - I used to sing it about my family:

First I was afraid I was petrified
thinking I could never live without you by my side
And Ive been spending nights
thinking how you did me wrong
And I grew strong
And I learned how to get along

(and from when they tried to take contact with me again and pretend everything was all fine)

And so you're back
From outer space
I just walked in to find you here
With that sad look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second
You'd be back to bother me

It took all my strength not to fall apart
Trying' without my mind to mend my broken heart
I spent so many nights
Feeling sorry for myself, how I cried
But now I hold my head up high
And you see me, somebody new
I'm not that lonely little girl who still love you
Now you come dropping in
Expecting me to be free
Now I'm saving all my lovin' for someone who's loving me

Go on now, walk out the door
Turn around now
You're not welcome anymore
You're the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
Think I'd might crumble
Did you think I'd lay down and die

I know I will stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
And I'll survive
I will survive
I will survive... !

Mine
Phoebe Ryan
I know that it's mine no matter what I do
I know that it's mine whether I win or lose
And even though my heart needs to take its time
I know that it's mine, I know that it's mine

Facing the change, but it's still tough to see
At first, I fought it all, I was so mean
I'm still unsure how it's supposed to be
But taking every day now by the skin of my teeth
Until I learn

Octahate
Ryn Weaver
I can't take it
From the day I saw my heart start breaking
No one saved me

Happy
Marina and the Diamonds
I found what I'd been looking for in myself
Found a life worth living for someone else
Never thought that I could be happy

I love to listen to peaceful harp and instrumental worship and praise hymns on Youtube. This is all I listen to these days, as it is very relaxing and refreshing. There are no words though some of the songs I know the words to anyway.
