What are you waiting for?
I've been looking for something sacred running away from the light
Gotta burn all the bridges in my head that lead me away from my life
I question my own existence, question the meaning of life
Why don't you carry me? Why don't you carry me?
I can't move on, I can't live on
Carry me, why don't you carry me?
I can't save me, I am crazy without you
It takes horns to hold up my halo and strength to get through the fight
Now I'm playing my cards on the table praying everything will be alright
I question my own existence, question the meaning of life
Why don't you carry me? Why don't you carry me?
I can't move on, I can't live on
Carry me, why don't you carry me?
I can't save me, I am crazy without you
The hardest ones to love are the ones that need it most
The hardest ones to love are the ones that need it most
The hardest ones to love are the ones that need it most
The hardest ones to love are the ones that need it most
Why don't you carry me? Why don't you carry me?
I can't move on, I can't live on
Carry me, why don't you carry me?
I can't save me, I am crazy
The hardest ones to love are the ones that need it most
The hardest ones to love are the ones that need it the most
The hardest ones to love are the ones that need it most
The hardest ones to love are the ones that need it the most
Carry me, carry me
Carry me, carry me
Les Miserables
Les Miserables (Act 2)
On My Own
Eponine
And now I'm all alone again
Nowhere to turn, no one to go to
Without a home without a friend
Without a face to say hello to
And now the night is near
I can make believe he's here
Sometimes I walk alone at night
When everybody else is sleeping
I think of him and I'm happy
With the company I'm keeping
The city goes to bed
And I can live inside my head
Own my own
Pretending he's beside me
All alone
I walk with him till morning
Without him
I feel his arms around me
And when I lose my way I close my eyes
And he has found me
In the rain the pavement shines like silver
All the lights are misty in the river
In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight
And all I see is him and me forever and forever
And I know it's only in my mind
That I'm talking to myself and not to him
And although I know that he is blind
Still I say, there's a way for us
I love him
But when the night is over
He is gone
The river's just a river
Without him
The world around me changes
The trees are bare and everywhere
The streets are full of strangers
I love him
But every day I'm learning
All my life
I've only been pretending
Without me
His world would go on turning
A world that's full of happiness
That I have never known
I love him
I love him
I love him
But only on my own.
RAOUL
No more talk of darkness,
Forget these wide-eyed fears
I'm here, nothing can harm you
my words will warm and calm you
Let me be your freedom,
let daylight dry your tears.
I'm here with you, beside you,
to guard you and to guide you...
CHRISTINE
Say you love me every waking moment,
turn my head with talk of summertime...
Say you need me with you now and always...
Promise me that all you say is true
that's all I ask of you
RAOUL
Let me be your shelter
let me be your light
You're safe, No one will find you
your fears are far behind you...
CHRISTINE
All I want is freedom,
a world with no more night
and you, always beside me, to hold me and to hide me...
RAOUL
Then say you'll share with me
one love, one lifetime
let me lead you from your solitude
Say you need me with you here, beside you...
anywhere you go, let me go too
Christine, that's all I ask of you...
CHRISTINE
Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime...
say the word and I will follow you...
Share each day with me,
each night, each morning...
Say you love me...
RAOUL
You know I do...
BOTH
Love me - that's all I ask of you
Anywhere you go let me go too
Love me - that's all I ask of you...
You cannot quit me so quickly
Is no hope in you for me
No corner you could squeeze me
But I got all the time for you, love
The Space Between
The tears we cry
Is the laughter keeps us coming back for more
The Space Between
The wicked lies we tell
And hope to keep safe from the pain
But will I hold you again?
These fickle, fuddled words confuse me
Like 'Will it rain today?'
Waste the hours with talking, talking
These twisted games we're playing
We're strange allies
With warring hearts
What a wild-eyed beast you'll be
The Space Between
The wicked lies we tell
And hope to keep safe from the pain
Will I hold you again?
Will I hold...
Look at us spinning out in
The madness of a roller coaster
You know you went off like a devil
In a church in the middle of a crowded room
All we can do, my love
Is hope we don't take this ship down
The Space Between
Where you're smiling high
Is where you'll find me if I get to go
The Space Between
The bullets in our firefight
Is where I'll be hiding, waiting for you
The rain that falls
Splash in your heart
Ran like sadness down the window into your room
The Space Between
Our wicked lies
Is where we hope to keep safe from pain
Take my hand
'Cause we're walking out of here
Oh, right out of here
Love is all we need, dear
The Space Between
What's wrong and right
Is where you'll find me hiding, waiting for you
The Space Between
Your heart and mine
Is the space we'll fill with time
The Space Between...
Ooo Ha-hey oh-oh-aah
I miss you so much
Your light, your smile, your way, and everything about us
Though you're gone, you're still here
In my heart, in my tears
Yeah you sure left your mark and we were just getting started
[Chorus]
It wasn't long enough, it wasn't long enough... Together...
But it was long enough, yeah, it was long enough... to last forever...
Sometimes I get so mad; I scream and swear at this
Cuz' this, isn't how we planned it
I sit here, in a cold room... Prayin'
Waiting on you
To run back through that door, the way it was before
[Chorus]
You left, it wasn't long enough, it wasn't long enough... together
But it was long enough; yeah it was long enough to last, forever...
I feel Cheated (I feel Cheated), defeated (can't believe it)
Can't believe that you're gone (your gone, your gone)
Oh it was wrong (so wrong)
It wasn't long enough
It wasn't long enough, it wasn't long enough...
Nooo it wasn't long enough, it wasn't long enough...
Together (Together)
But it was long enough; yeah it was long enough, to last,
To last, to last forever...
(It wasn't long enough, it wasn't long enough, it wasn't long enough)
No it wasn't long enough...
(It wasn't long enough, it wasn't long enough, it wasn't long enough)
Long enough...
(It wasn't long enough, it wasn't long enough, it wasn't long enough)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh Oh-ooo-oo
"Love Remains The Same"
A thousand times I’ve seen you standing
Gravity like a lunar landing
Make me want to run till I find you
I shut the world away from here
Drift to you, you’re all I hear
Everything we know fades to black
Half the time the world is ending
Truth is I am done pretending
I never thought that I had anymore to give
Pushing me so far
Here I am without you
Drink to all that we have lost
Mistakes we have made
Everything will change
But love remains the same
Find the place where we escape
Take you with me for a space
The city buzz, sounds just like a fridge
I walk the streets through seven bars
I had to find just where you are
The faces seems to blur, they’re all the same
Half the time the world is ending
Truth is I am done pretending
I never thought that I had anymore to give
Pushing me so far
Here I am without you
Drink to all that we have lost
Mistakes we have made
Everything will change
But love remains the same
So much more to say
So much to be done
Don’t you trick me out
We shall overcome
So all have stayed in place
We should have had the sun
Could have been inside
Instead we’re over here
Half the time the world is ending
Truth is I am done pretending
Too much time, too long defending
You and I are done pretending
I never thought that I had anymore to give
Pushing me so far
Here I am without you
Drink to all that we have lost
Mistakes we have made
Everything will change
Everything will change
I, oh I, I
wish this could last forever
I, oh I, I
As if we could last forever
Love remains the same
Love remains the same
ok, seriously...
Its been 24 hours since the passing of Michael Jackson.
And the Jokes are flying outrageously.
Really? Gonna crack jokes about someone whos body hasnt even turned cold yet? I mean how sad... Regardless to what he may have or may not have been (and it's here that I would like to point out that he was never convicted of anything.) First case was dismissed due to lack of evidence, and second case he was aquitted. Does this mean that he was innocent? In the eyes of the Law, Yes. In the eyes of others, No.
However, I think that most everyone here is neglecting the fact that as a child, he was physically, and emotionally abused. Studies show that abuse like that can have an adverse effect on a persons emotional state of mind. No im not making excuses, im pointing out facts.
Personally, I think Michael Jackson was vilified by the media and no matter what would have happened... He was going to carry this burden for the rest of his life, in which he has. I seem to recall the first time around there were recordings of the accusing parties talking about how they were out to destroy him or what ever...
I also think that people are forgetting all the GOOD he has done, not just here in the states, but world wide. The Charities, the money he has donated. NOT TO MENTION, the inspiration he has caused for MANY people world wide. Modern artists such as Justin Timberlake, Kanye West, P Diddy.
Michael Jacksons music was known world wide. He was an Icon. A Living Legend. And yes, I admire him for the things hes accomplished in the musical world. Not just for Pop, but also for Rock, and RnB, and Hip Hop. He has transcended all genres of music.
And to all you Haters, Yeah, I know that when one of his songs come on, you are sercretly singin along. Or You had the glove or jacket or danced to his music video's wanting to be him. Let the man rest in peace for God's sake, allow his family that much. Im pretty certain you guys wouldnt want to see one of YOUR family members slammed in this manner, no matter WHAT they may or MAY NOT have done.
Be that as it may, you cant hate someone and still sing thier songs. Artists of the world are all saying what an inspiration he was to them and thier music. That is why his songs are getting remade, are sampled, are still held in the highest regards. I mean, Thriller... 8 Grammy's, Rock, Pop, and RnB. 7 of the 9 songs all reaching the top ten billboard top 100... The guy is a pure musical genius. You can't take that away from him no matter what he MAY or MAY NOT have done.
Slam me all you want. This is America and we are all entitlled to our own opinions. Down rate me for voiceing mind. Ask me if I really give a rats ass one way or another. But all the haters... yeah. Keep hating cause what have you done to significantly impact something in this world? I can tell you that I haven't done a damn thing. But I respect the man for what he has done for the music community. And you are DAMN RIGHT I will jam out to some MJ in my car when im cruisin down the road. I really dont give a flying rats ass what anyone thinks of me.
Today, Sad to say Farrah Fawcett passed away after her long struggle with Cancer. My condolences to her friends and family. However, that is not what this blog is about.
Its about something that really bothers the hell out of me recently.
June 3rd. KoKo Taylor passed away from complications from a gastrointestinal surgery.
June 4th. David Carradine passed away.
Why is it that David Carradine's passing is so much more important than KoKo Taylor's? Understandably, he was huge due to his roles in Kung-Fu and Kill Bill.. but really? Ok so there is mystery surrounding his death. Truth comes out after his passing that he was into Erotic Asphyxiation. But Really? Does he deserve a full page in June 19ths version Of Entertainment Weekly?
What did KoKo Taylor get? Nothing. She passed away one day before Carradine. And for those of you who are not as attuned to the Blues as I am, may not know who she is... so with that being said, let me run down some of the amazing accomplisments that this womas has acheived.
She was still performing one month before she passed away. On top of those small acheivements that she received that I mentioned, She was self taught in music, and has played with greats such as Buddy Guy, my personal favorite Stevie Ray Vaughn, Keb 'Mo, BB King, Kenny Wayne Sheppard and so forth.
Undeniably she is the Queen of the Blues.
But what did Entertainment Weekly give her in the June 19th issue? nothing. Not even a mention of her passing. Sad sad sad thing for someone who gave so much to the Music industry.
Oh Wait... She got a 2 sentence spot on EW.com. starting with "According to CNN.COM"
wow.
Now, like I said, not everyone is as in tune with the Blues as I am... And that is fine. KoKo is more deserving than that. Really? 2 sentences?
R.I.P. KoKo Taylor. Institues like Entertainment Weekly may not give a rats ass, but fans do. And thats all that matters.
