Today's song

So what shall I post today?

I know. A song from an old animated TV movie I loved.



You can find the lyrics here

And as long as I'm here don't forget that Breaking The Covenants will be out on April 24th. Here's the cover so you can drool over it like I do.

Today's song

I'm getting to like starting the day off with music.

I was at the grocery store yesterday and this song was on the music system. It seemed appropriate considering certain recent events in my life.



Everyone knows the words to this one.

Today's song

Since it's Sunday I feel rather spiritual. So that's what today's song is.



I've heard there was a secret chord
that David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, Do you?
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor Fall, The major lift,
The baffled king composing, hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to a kitchen chair, she broke your throne
she cut your hair and from your lips she drew the halleujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Maybe I've been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
love is not a victory march
it's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

There was a time you let me know
What's real and going on below
but now you never show it to me, do you?
And remember when I moved in you
the holy ghost was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Maybe there's a God above
And all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
It's not a cry you can hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
it's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah…

Today's song

I was at brunch the other day and this song came on their music system. I'd forgotten how much I liked it. I was bopping along to it.

So here it is for you to enjoy.



Copper sun sinking low
Scatterlings and fugitives
Hooded eyes and weary brows
Seek refuge in the night

They are the scatterlings of Africa
Each uprooted one
On the road to Phelamanga
Where the world began
I love the scatterlings of Africa
Each and every one
In their hearts a burning hunger
Beneath the copper sun

Ancient bones from Olduvai
Echoes of the very first cry
"Who made me here and why
Beneath the copper sun?"
African idea
African idea
Make the future clear
Make the future clear

They are the scatterlings of Africa
Each uprooted one
On the road to Phelamanga
Where the world began
I love the scatterlings of Africa
Each and every one
In their hearts a burning hunger
Beneath the copper sun

And we are the scatterlings of Africa
Both you and I
We are on the road to Phelamanga
Beneath a copper sky
And we are the scatterlings of Africa
On a journey to the stars
Far below, we leave forever
Dreams of what we were

And as long as I'm here, let's not forget the next book book I wrote with Celina Summers. Less than three weeks, people! Don't forget to buy a copy. *grin*

Today's song

It's a cold, windy and miserable day here. So I think a little beauty is in order.



And as long as I'm here, I'll mention that it's only three weeks until Breaking The Covenants is released. Here's the cover once again, just because I like it.

Today's song

After a lovely conversation on the phone last night this is the song going through my head.

Note: Not work or child safe.

No embedding so watch it here.

You let me violate you, you let me desecrate you
You let me penetrate you, you let me complicate you
Help me I broke apart my insides, help me I’ve got no soul to sell
Help me the only thing that works for me, help me get away from myself

I want to fuck you like an animal
I want to feel you from the inside
I want to fuck you like an animal
My whole existence is flawed
You get me closer to god

You can have my isolation, you can have the hate that it brings
You can have my absence of faith, you can have my everything
Help me tear down my reason, help me its' your sex I can smell
Help me you make me perfect, help me become somebody else

I want to fuck you like an animal
I want to feel you from the inside
I want to fuck you like an animal
My whole existence is flawed
You get me closer to god

Through every forest, above the trees
Within my stomach, scraped off my knees
I drink the honey inside your hive
You are the reason I stay alive

Today's song

An old, obscure piece of rock that catches my mood about a certain event in my life perfectly.



You're restless baby - the good is gone from your eyes
I've seen that look before but it's different this time
I wonder how long you've been living in this lie

I can't hold on girl
And I can't give up, no, no
I just can't turn and walk away

The night won't make it right, baby, not this time
I know there's nothing left that's gonna change your mind
We played the hard way as long as we could
But this time baby's gone for good

You're running scared, girl
You've lost what you once believed
Do you lie awake at night do you think about me?
Have you found somebody who can give you what you need?

But I can't stay here
It hurts so badly
But I can't just turn and walk away

The night won't make it right, baby, not this time
I know there's nothing left that's gonna change your mind
We played the hard way as long as we could
But this time baby's gone for good

Baby worries, baby bleeds
Baby must have what she sees
Was it so hard, couldn't you see me?

The night won't make it right baby not this time
I know there's nothing left that's gonna change your mind
We played the hard way but it took a little bit too long
But this time baby knows she's gone
This time baby knows she's gone
This time baby knows she's gone
So long
