"Soulshine" by Govt Mule

When you can't find the light,
That got you through the cloudy days,
When the stars ain't shinin' bright,
It feels like you've lost you're way,
When the candle lights of home,
Burn so very far away,
Yeah you got to let your soulshine,
Just like my daddy used to say.

He used to say soulshine,
It's better than sunshine,
It's better than moonshine,
It's damn sure better than rain.
Hey now people don't mind,
We all feel this way sometimes,
Got to let your soul shine,
Shine till the break of day.

Let me tells ya
I grew up thinkin' that I had it made,
Gonna make it on my own.
Life can take the strongest man,
Make him feel so alone.
Now and then I feel a cold wind,
Blowin' through my achin' bones,
I think back to what my daddy said,
He said "Boy, in the darkness before the dawn"
Let your soulshine,
It's better than sunshine,
I know it's better than moonshine,
Damn sure better than rain.

People now don't ya mind,
We all get this way sometimes,
Gotta' let your soul shine,
Shine till the break of day.

Sometimes a man can feel this emptiness,
Like a woman has robbed him of his very soul.


A woman too, God knows, she can feel like this.
And when your world seems cold,
You got to let your spirit take control.

and I'll tell ya...

Talkin 'bout soulshine,
It's better than sunshine,
It's better than moonshine,
It's damn sure better than rain.
Now people don't mind,
We all get this way sometimes,
Gotta' let your soul shine,
Yeah shine on and in and on.

It's better than sunshine,
It's better than moonshine,
It's damn sure better than rain.

Now people don't mind
we all get this way sometimes
gotta let your soulshine
shine till the break of day

When you're in the mood for the blues-that song will do the trick as it's got a real blues feel. I usually prefer acoustical guitar, but I just love guitar regardless and the singing and guitar in that song have a nice blues feel.

Ok then...on to some Drowning Pool...

"Tear Away" by Drowning Pool

I'm tearing away
Pieces are falling I can't seem to make them stay
You run away
Faster and faster you can't seem to get away
Break!

Hope there's a reason
For questions unanswered I just don't see everything
Yes I'm inside you
Tell me how does it feel to feel like this
Just like I do

I don't care about anyone else but me
I don't care about anyone
Do I really want this
Sometimes I scare myself I just can't let it go
Can you believe it
Everything happens for reasons I just don't know

I don't care about anyone else but me
I don't care about anyone
I don't care about anyone else but me
I don't care about anyone or anything but me
God damn I love me
I don't care about anyone else but me
I don't care about anyone
I don't care about anyone else but me
I don't care about anyone or anything
I don't care about anyone else but me
I don't care about anyone

Just had to include this song from the 'Why Do They Call Me Mr. Happy?' album.

'The River' - NoMeansNo

There are those who are silent yet who talk all of the time
Their faces never really show the way their quiet footsteps go
And when I greet them my mask is just the same
I put no trust in the crooked and the lame
If you want to walk just get up on your feet
And if you want to talk just open your mouth and speak
What is the ugly secret that you cherish in you heart
The truth you can't stand, that drives you from the land of the living
The land of the living

A smile is not a friednship and those heart-felt words are cheap
They are as shallow as a puddle in the street
Like the tear drops that you shed for the humble and the weak
As you float over their bodies to the promised land you seek
Where there is no one to ask you who you are or what you've done
You're a face without a name with nothing to explain
Oh, the dead who walk among us, what they take they don't give back
See their hollow smiling faces as they ride upon the backs of the living
The land of the living
Addition and subtraction is a cold and sober art
But there is no place for taking stock in matters of the heart
Either you are genuine or you are not
You either mean the things you say or cut the ties and drift away
Inflated with self-righteousness, afloat upon the wind
But for all your bloated virtues, I wouldn't give a sin
My allegiance is to those who are alive
Those who wear it on their sleeve, who do not run and do not hide
Foolish little monkeys playing in the land of the living the
Land of the living



When I speak the words I repeat
Are lost within this roaring
And when I call your eyes turn to me
But what are they exploring ?
Hidden shapes that pass fast away
Apon the waters streaming
And what I see I just cannot say
There is no one to heed me

I could say that I am sorry
But what forgiveness lies before me ?
In the river

Those who know me know all too well
All my sins and failings
But brother dear, how could I tell ?
The course that I was sailing

In the flood, before my eyes
I see the face that I despise
In the river

It's mine, it's mine
Drifting far away

I can see you'rte not very strong
As the current sweeps you past me
And I can see your head going down
As helpless your cries find me
"Help me! Save me! Lend me a hand!
Pull me out! Pull me out!
Save me! Save me! Give me your hand!
Pull me out! Pull me out!"

I would save you, give my life
But it's already sacrificed
To the river

It's gone, it's gone
Drifitng far away

Mothers tell your children the truth
Don't hide the fate that's waiting
When you're born you start to drown
There's no help, no safety

First a gift of love is given
Then the winds rise, the sails are riven
On the river

Queens Of The Stone Age - You Can't Quit Me Baby

It's a mistake, but who knows
Followed you home, crawled in your window
This life is a trip when you're psycho in love
And I know

Followed your friends, you were not there
Slashed and I cut, I bled in the sink
Heard what you said and you're laughing baby
Slashed and I cut, and I do it for you
I want you to notice when I'm not around
Wherever you are

You're solid gold
I'll see you in hell

"Everybody Knows That You're Insane" By Queens Of The Stone Age

You wanna know why you feel so hollow?
Because you are.
You're missing out? Well if you say so,
Then you're missing out.

Everybody knows that you're insane!

You wanna know just how long you can hide from what you are?
Not very long.
I have been lost. Down every road I follow out in the dark,
On my way home.

But I feel nothing. Am I better yet?

Everybody knows that you're insane!

Its not having what you want,
its wanting what you've got.

Sheryl Crow

Sometimes, the last thing you want comes in first,
Sometimes, the first thing you want never comes,

Artist: Aqualung
Song: Strange and Beautiful

I'm not ready to play nice,
I'm not ready to back down,

Dixie Chicks

Belive in magic, believe in lore,legend and myth
And the hand that guides in the cunning hope in the weaving of dreams.
And the Lady of the Lake takes my hand and leads me
To the holy isle and the fairy rings and the circles of stone,
For ever and again

Surrender to the wisdom of age and the spirits of time
Remember our souls entwined for eternity
And the healing hand of the fairy queen will come to all who have faith in her
And the apple tree will bear its fruit in the garden of Avalon forever and again.

The Mission uk.
Deliverence.

"The Lost Art of Keeping a Secret"

I've got a secret, I cannot say
Blame all the movement to give it away
You've got somethin, I understand
Holding it tightly, caught on command
Leap of faith, do you doubt?
Cut you in, I just cut you out

[chorus:]
Whatever you do
Don't tell anyone
Whatever you do
Don't tell anyone

Look for reflections, in your face
Canine devotion, time can't erase
Out on the corner, locked in your room
I never believe them and I never assume
Still can't believe there is a lie
Promise is promise, an eye for an eye
We've got something to reveal
No one can know how we feel

[repeat chorus 2x]

I think you already know
How far I'd go not to say
You know the art isn't gone
And I'm taking my song to the grave

[repeat chorus]

Johnny Cash - Wichita Lineman

I am a lineman for the county
And I drive the main road
Searching in the sun
For another overload
I hear you singing in the wires
I can hear you through the whine
And the Wichita lineman
Is still on the line

I know I need a small vacation
But it don't look like rain
And if it snows
That stretch down south
Won't ever stand the strain

And I need you more than want you
And I want you for all time
And the Wichita lineman
Is still on the line

And I need you more than want you
And I want you for all time
And the Wichita lineman
Is still on the line

Sex Pistols - EMI Unlimited Edition
(J. Rotten, P. Cook, S. Jones, G. Matlock)

There's unlimited supply
and there is no reason why
I tell you it was all a frame
they only did it 'cos of fame -
Who? EMI

Too many people had the suss
Too many people support us
An unlimited amount
too many outlets in and out -
Who? EMI

And sir and friends are crucified
a day they wished that we had died
We are an addition
we are ruled by-none
Never ever never

And you thought that we were faking
that we were all just money making
you do not believe we're for real
or you would lose your cheap appeal?

Don't judge a book just by the cover
Unless you cover just another
And blind acceptance is a sign
of stupid fools who stand in line like EMI

Unlimited edition
with an unlimited supply
That was the only reason
we all had to say goodbye

Unlimited supply
EMI there is no reason why
EMI I tell you if was all a frame
EMI they only did it 'cos of fame
EMI I do not need the pressure
EMI I can't stand the useless fools
EMI unlimited supply
EMI Hallo EMI goodbye A & M

What's real these days
Am I your friend
I wanna run, run from all my foes
Hey, I'm still, still, so alone
Got news for you boy
Got news for you boy

I'm on the other side
You don't know
You can't tell
I'm on the other side
I'm all dressed up in disguise
Well, it's easy they say
You just smile the day away
Yeah, yeah, yeah

So push away what hurts
We'll show you a drink
To hold, hold, yeah to hold you in
And to give, give them all they need
While you choke on
While you choke on

I'm on the other side
You don't know
You can't tell
I'm on the other side
I'm all dressed up in disguise
Well, it's easy they say
You just smile the day away
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Crossing your heart won't be easy this time
When you raise your trembling hand
And swear away, swear away your life
Yeah

When will life change for me
Could you answer that
I wanna crawl, crawl on a new shore
And know, know what's on my chest
Arrest my heart
Arrest my heart

I'm on the other side
You don't know
You can't tell
I'm on the other side
I'm all dressed up in disguise
I'm on the other side
I'm all dressed up in disguise
Well, it's easy they say
You just smile the day away
Yeah, yeah, yeah

The other side
The other side
The other side
The other side
The other side

You just smile the day away
Yeah, yeah, yeah

(Huah!)

Down too long like I was before
and I've never thought I'd see the day
can't be wrong 'cause I know the score
and I guess there is no other way
reminded of you!
reminded of you!
reminded of you!
reminded of you!
Reminded!

There it is all in black and white
and it looks like thats the way it goes
doesn't matter if its wrong or right
'cause by now I'm sure that I know
reminded of you!
reminded of you!
reminded of you!
reminded of you!
Reminded!

Never felt so undecided
(undecided)
everything I've ever had has been taken away

little boy so scared and frightened
(scared and frightened)
all of the things that have happened
I'm surely to blame

blame!

Accept your fate then you'll be well
but the truth is that it never ends
you can say that you've been through hell
but you'll always lose another friend

reminded of you!
reminded of you!
reminded of you!
reminded of you!
reminded!

Never felt so unimportant
(unimportant)
everything I've ever said has been taken in vain

little girl so scread and frightened
(scared and frightened)
all of the things that I do
are still subject to change

reminded of you!
reminded of you!
reminded of you!
reminded of you!

REMINDED OF YOU!
REMINDED OF YOU!
REMINDED OF YOU!
REMINDED OF YOU!
REUUUH!

***********************************************************
aaahhhhhhhh I love that song-not just the lyrics though they hold meaning (for me) but the whole tune has got such a nice feel to it too. Drowning Pool is really relaxing to me. Gets me into my angry happy place and I've really come to even appreciate Dave William's screaming.

"So Easy" By the Eagles Of Death metal

You're always saying, it's so easy.
any man I want I'll take him Make him
mine mine mine.

less talking, let's see action
there's no time to waste it's time to make me your man

do do do doo it's so easy
I hear you praying, it's not easy
you're the man I want but I can't make you mine mine mine

Less talking let's see action there's no time to waste
it's time to make you understand
less talking let's see action there's no time to waste
it's all according to the plan...
do do do doo dee dee, it's so easy...

Sex Pistols - Pretty Vacant
(J. Rotten, P. Cook, S. Jones, G. Matlock)

There’s no point in asking us you’ll get no reply
Oh just remenber a don’t decide
I got no reason it’s all too much
You’ll always find us
Out to lunch !

Oh we’re so pretty oh so pretty vacant
But now and we don’t care

Don’t ask us to attend cos we’re not all there
Oh don’t pretend cos I don’t care
I don’t believe illusions cos too much is real
So stop your cheap comment
Cos we know what we feel

We’re pretty pretty vacant
We’re pretty pretty vay-cant
And we don’t care

Title: Right In Two

Angels on the sideline,
Puzzled and amused.
Why did Father give these humans free will?
Now they're all confused.

Don't these talking monkeys know that
Eden has enough to go around?
Plenty in this holy garden, silly old monkeys,
Wonders when you're bound to divide it

Right in two

Angels on the sideline,
Baffled and confused.
Father blessed them all with reason.
And this is what they choose.
(and this is what they choose)
Monkey killing monkey killing monkey
Over pieces of the ground.

Silly monkeys given thumbs,
They forge a blade,
And brothers wonder
bound to divide it,

Right in two.
Right in two.

Monkey killing monkey killing monkey
Over pieces of the ground.
Silly monkeys give them thumbs,
They make a club
And beat their brother..down.
How they survive so misguided is a mystery.
Repugnant IS THE CREATURE WHO WOULD SQUANDER THE ABILITY TO LIFT AN EYE TO HEAVEN CONSCIOUS OF THIS FLEETING TIME HERE

Cutting it all right in two (x4)

Fight over the clouds, over wind, over sky
Fight over life, over blood, over prayer, overhead and light
Fight over love, over sun, over another
Fight...

Angels on the sideline again
BEEN SO LONG WITH patience and reason
Angels on the sideline again
Wondering when this tug of war will end


Cutting it all right in two (x3)
Right in two

Right in two...

These lyrics hit me at very strong points:


AFI - Rabbits are Roadkill on Route 37

"Desperation. Devastation.
All I truly know (All that I know)
Is isolation. Self-damnation.
All life that I know
Was shed and worthless now."

When you hear Davey's background vocals "All that I know" it sounds like true sadness coming from his end and I feel his pain.


Blink 182 - Adam's Song

"I never conquered, rarely came
16 just held such better days
Days when I still felt alive
We couldn't wait to get outside

The world was wide, too late to try
The tour was over, we'd survived
I couldn't wait 'til I got home
To pass the time in my room alone"

This always showed me there is always a better solution then getting depressed about life and wanting to throw it all away.

Johnny Cash - Desperado

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
You been out ridin' fences for so long now.
Oh, you're a hard one,
But I know that you've got your reasons.
These things that are pleasin' you,
Can hurt you somehow.

Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy,
She'll beat you if she's able.
Know the queen of hearts is always your best bet.
Now it seems to me, some fine things,
Have been laid upon your table.
But you only want the things that you can't get.

Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no younger:
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home.
And freedom, oh freedom,
Well, that's just some people talkin'
Your prison is walking,
Through this world all alone.

And don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
The sky won't snow, the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
You're loosin' all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the feeling,
Goes away?

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Come down from your fences, and open the gate
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you,
You better let somebody love you,
You better let somebody love you,
You better let somebody love you,
Before it's too late.

I don't really like Evanescence but I like this song....

"My Immortal"

I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

[Chorus:]
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me

You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

[Chorus]

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along

[Chorus]
