I'm A Believer

This is a truly annoying song to wake up to, particularly when one is sick, like I am today. But, here it is....

"Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind.
I'm in love, I'm a believer!
I couldn't leave her if I tried."

Brokedown Palace

We saw Joan Osborne over a week ago, the night before we left on vacation, and she sang this Grateful Dead song and it was amazing. Woke up to this in my head this morning. This is such a great song, you need to see all the lyrics. Enjoy.


"Fare you well my honey
Fare you well my only true one
All the birds that were singing
Have flown except you alone

Goin to leave this Broke-down Palace
On my hands and my knees I will roll roll roll
Make myself a bed by the waterside
In my time - in my time - I will roll roll roll

In a bed, in a bed
by the waterside I will lay my head
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
to rock my soul

River gonna take me
Sing me sweet and sleepy
Sing me sweet and sleepy
all the way back back home
It's a far gone lullaby
sung many years ago
Mama, Mama, many worlds I've come
since I first left home

Goin home, goin home
by the waterside I will rest my bones
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
to rock my soul

Goin to plant a weeping willow
On the banks green edge it will grow grow grow
Sing a lullaby beside the water
Lovers come and go - the river roll roll roll

Fare you well, fare you well
I love you more than words can tell
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
to rock my soul"

Set Fire to the Rain

Who doesn't have an Adele song in their head? I could listen to her sing all day long and never tire of her voice.

"But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Let it burn while I cry
"Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name..."

River of Dreams

There's a lot of interesting imagery in this Billy Joel song, one of my favorites.

"In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
From the mountains of faith
To a river so deep

I must be looking for something
Something sacred I lost
But the river is wide
And it's too hard to cross

And even though I know the river is wide
I walk down every evening and I stand on the shore
And try to cross to the opposite side
So I can finally find out what I've been looking for..."

Anything Goes

This has to be one of my favorite albums (remember LPs?) of all time. Not really a kiddie song, if you know what I mean.

"My way, your way
Anything goes tonight
My way, your way
Anything goes..."

X-Files Theme Music

Ok, no lyrics to post to this one. It does make me wonder what my day holds when I wake up to this music.......

Catch A Wave

I must be ready for winter to be over, although it really hasn't even begun here on the East coast this year.

"Don't be afraid to try the greatest sport around
Everybody tries it once
Those who don't just have to put it down
You paddle out turn around and raise
And baby that's all there is to the coastline craze
Catch a wave and you're sittin' on top of the world...."
