Kid Rock - "Collide" ft. Sheryl Crow~Love It!!!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Nancy Ellyn) — Mon, 18 Apr 2011 17:24:00 +0000

Collide

You're no angel, I'm no saint, if we were
We wouldn't be in this place tonight

Lost and lonely, scared and confused
We both have a past, nothing to lose, tonight

Well it cuts like a knife these bad luck blues
We both got scars from the hell we been thru
Somebody's gotta win, somebody's gotta lose
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/k/kid_rock/collide.html ]
So let's roll the dice, one more time
Take a chance on love again tonight

Risk it all, lay it on the line
Let the skeletons fight for life
Tonight, hold on tight, as we collide

Reconnected, feelin' no pain
Seeking shelter like a spark in the rain, tonight (ooh yeah)

Worn and weathered, scared to go home
We're here together, but still all alone, tonight (uh uh yeah)

And there's no need to lie, we've both been abused
The love and the pain, the cocaine and booze, now
Most people don't, but some people do

So let's roll the dice, one more time
Take a chance on love again tonight

Risk it all, lay it on the line
Let the skeletons fight for life
Tonight, hold on tight, as we collide

Happy Valentine's Day!

The Rebel Jesus

noreply@blogger.com (Nancy Ellyn) — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 02:48:00 +0000

The streets are filled with laughter and light
And the music of the season
And the merchants' windows are all bright
With the faces of the children

And the families hurrying to their homes
As the sky darkens and freezes
Will be gathering around the hearths and tables
Giving thanks for all God's graces
And the birth of the rebel Jesus

They call him by the "Prince of Peace"
And they call him by "The Savior"
And they pray to him upon the sea
And in every bold endeavor
As they fill his churches with their pride and gold
And their faith in him increases
But they've turned the nature that I worship in
From a temple to a robber's den
In the words of the rebel Jesus

We guard our world with locks and guns
And we guard our fine possessions
And once a year when Christmas comes
We give to our relations

And perhaps we give a little to the poor
If the generosity should seize us
But if any one of us should interfere
In the business of why there are poor
They get the same as the rebel Jesus

But pardon me if I have seemed
To take the tone of judgment
For I've no wish to come between
This day and your enjoyment

In this life of hardship and of earthly toil
We have need for anything that frees us
So I bid you pleasure and I bid you cheer
From a heathen and a pagan
On the side of the rebel Jesus.

Farther On~Solo~Live 2008~ Jackson Browne

noreply@blogger.com (Nancy Ellyn) — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 05:00:00 +0000

In my early years I hid my tears
And passed my days alone

Adrift on an ocean of loneliness
My dreams like nets were thrown

To catch the love that I'd heard of
In books and films and songs

Now there's a world of illusion and fantasy
In the place where the real world belongs

Still I look for the beauty in songs
To fill my head and lead me on

Though my dreams have come up torn and empty
As many times as love has come and gone

To those gentle ones my memory runs
To the laughter we shared at the meals

I filled their kitchens and living rooms
With my schemes and my broken wheels

It was never clear how far or near
The gates to my citadel lay

They we're cutting from stone some dreams of their own
But they listened to mine anyway

I'm not sure what I'm trying to say
It could be I've lost my way

Though I keep a watch over the distance
Heaven's no closer than it was yesterday

And the angels are older
They know not to wait up for the sun
They look over my shoulder
At the maps and the drawings of the journey I've begun

Now the distance leads me farther on
Though the reasons I once had are gone

I keep thinking I'll find what I'm looking for
In the sand beneath the dawn

But the angels are older
They can see that the sun's setting fast

They look over my shoulder
At the vision of paradise
Contained in the light of the past

And they lay down behind me
To sleep beside the road 'til the morning has come

Where they know they will find me
With my maps and my faith in the distance
Moving farther on

(music and lyrics by Jackson Browne)

The Highwaymen

noreply@blogger.com (Nancy Ellyn) — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 05:18:00 +0000

I will always love this song....Classic, legendary, poignant
impeccable. Thank you Willie, Waylon, Kris and Johnny......

I was a highwayman. Along the coach roads I did ride
With sword and pistol by my side
Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade
Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade
The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty-five
But I am still alive.

I was a sailor. I was born upon the tide
And with the sea I did abide.
I sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico
I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow
And when the yards broke off they said that I got killed
But I am living still.

I was a dam builder across the river deep and wide
Where steel and water did collide
A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado
I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below
They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound
But I am still around..I'll always be around..and around and around and
around and around

I blast starships across the Universe divide
And when I reach the other side
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
But I will remain
And I'll be back again, and again and again and again and again..

Doctor My Eyes~A Jackson Browne Masterpiece~Covered by Michael Jackson and the Jackson Five~

noreply@blogger.com (Nancy Ellyn) — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 07:25:00 +0000

Doctor, my eyes have seen the years
And the slow parade of fears without crying
Now I want to understand

I have done all that I could
To see the evil and the good without hiding
You must help me if you can

Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what is wrong
Was I unwise to leave them open for so long

Cause I have wandered through this world
And as each moment has unfurled
Ive been waiting to awaken from these dreams
People go just where they will
I never noticed them until I got this feeling
That its later than it seems

Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what you see
I hear their cries
Just say if its too late for me

Doctor, my eyes
Cannot see the sky
Is this the prize for having learned how not to cry

headed back down south
gonna see my daddy's mistress
gonna buy back her forgivness
pay off every witness

One more time down south
sell the family headstones
drag a bag of dry bones
make good on my back loans

so if i come to your door
let me sleep on your floor
i'll give you all i have
and a little more

sleep late down south
look up my former mentors
live off yankee winters
be a landlord and a renter

create myself down south
impress all the women
pretend i'm samuel clemens
wear seersucker and white linens

so if i come to your door
let me sleep on your floor
i'll give you all i have
and a little more

spanish moss down south
spirits cross the dead fields
mosquitoes hit the windshield
all document remain sealed

so if i come to your door
let me sleep on your floor
i'll give you all i have
and a little more

i'll give you all i have
and a little more

She Must Be Somebody's Baby

noreply@blogger.com (Nancy Ellyn) — Sat, 25 Apr 2009 06:46:00 +0000

No doubt,one of the most "commercial" Jackson Browne tunes, written for Cameron Crowe's "Fast Times at Ridgemont High", this song may be the only touch point you have with Jackson Browne....I implore you to explore his work. You will be amazed!

Somebody's Baby
Jackson Browne & Danny Kortchmar
[From the "Fast Times At Ridgemont High" soundtrack]

Well, just - a look at that girl with the lights comin' up in her eyes.
She's got to be somebody's baby.
She must be somebody's baby.
All the guys on the corner stand back and let her walk on by.
She's got to be somebody's baby.
She must be somebody's baby.
She's got to be somebody's baby.
She's so fine.
She's probably somebody's only light.
Gonna shine tonight.
Yeah, she's probably somebody's baby, all right.

I heard her talkin' with her friend when she thought nobody else was around.
She said she's got to be somebody's baby; she must be somebody's baby.
'Cause when the cars and the signs and the street lights light up the town,
She's got to be somebody's baby;
She must be somebody's baby;
She's got to be somebody's baby.
She's so....
She's gonna be somebody's only light.
Gonna shine tonight.
Yeah, she's gonna be somebody's baby tonight.

I try to shut eyes, but I can't get here outta my sight.
I know I'm gonna know her, but I gotta get over my fright.
We'll, I'm just gonna walk up to her.
I'm gonna talk to her tonight.
Yeah, she's gonna be somebody's only light.
Gonna shine tonight.
Yeah, she's gonna be somebody's baby tonight.
Gonna shine tonight, make her mine tonight.

Full Circle

noreply@blogger.com (Nancy Ellyn) — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 00:35:00 +0000

So, my favorite singer/songwriter is Jackson Browne. My twenty year old daughter loves Tim Rice Oxley, of the group Keane. She has seen Jackson with me and I have seen Keane with her. Wonderful experiences, making us both appreciative of the others musical choices.

What a treat to find Mr. Oxley covering "These Days", a song Jackson Browne wrote when he was just sixteen.

My daughter and I both screamed with delight when we saw this. Full Circle......The apple doesn't fall far from the tree....

Fountain of Sorrow

noreply@blogger.com (Nancy Ellyn) — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 09:40:00 +0000

Valentines Day is often Bittersweet....This song fits the bill, yes?

Stunning song....no doubt...Jackson wrote it about his love affair with Joni Mitchell.... She was a muse for many..... Still...... so jaded and sad.

Fountain of Sorrow
Jackson Browne

Looking through some photographs I found inside a drawer
I was taken by a photograph of you
There were one or two I know that you would have liked a little more
But they didnt show your spirit quite as true

You were turning round to see who was behind you
And I took your childish laughter by surprise
And at the moment that my camera happened to find you
There was just a trace of sorrow in your eyes

Now the things that I remember seem so distant and so small
Though it hasn't really been that long a time
What I was seeing wasn't what was happening at all
Although for a while, our path did seem to climb

But when you see through loves illusions, there lies the danger
And your perfect lover just looks like a perfect fool
So you go running off in search of a perfect stranger
While the loneliness seems to spring from your life
Like a fountain from a pool

Fountain of sorrow, fountain of light
You've known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight
You've had to hide sometimes, but now youre all right
And it's good to see your smiling face tonight

Now for you and me it may not be that hard to reach our dreams
But that magic feeling never seems to last
And while the futures there for anyone to change, still you know its seems
It would be easier sometimes to change the past

I'm just one or two years and a couple of changes behind you
In my lessons at loves pain and heartache school
Where if you feel too free and you need something to remind you
There's this loneliness springing up from your life
Like a fountain from a pool

Fountain of sorrow, fountain of light
You've known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight

You've had to hide sometimes but now youre all right
And it's good to see your smiling face tonight

Fountain of sorrow, fountain of light
You've known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight
You've had to struggle, youve had to fight

To keep understanding and compassion in sight
You could be laughing at me, you've got the right
But you go on smiling so clear and so bright

Do You Think is True?

noreply@blogger.com (Nancy Ellyn) — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 06:43:00 +0000

Do we really do this? I'm afraid I do.....I am so worried about people LIKING me~that sometimes my message is lost....how about you? Thanks to my sis for sending me this!

NINE WORDS WOMEN USE

(1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

(2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

(3) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.

(4) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!

(5) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting h er time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)

(6) That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man... That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

(7) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you're welcome . (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome' . that will bring on a 'whatever').

(8) Whatever: Is a woman's way of saying F-- YOU!

(9) Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to # 3.

Do you have feelings of inadequacy?

WARNINGS: -

friends over and over again that you love them.

sing.

logically converse with members of the opposite sex without spitting.
