Music Mondays: The Ultimate Bearhug


Paper plane flow through the sky

To the hands of my lover from mine

I did hope these sweet words would win

But now my hopes paper thin

Broken apart my porcoline heart

You’ve scattered each piece on the floor

But if you could glue the pieces brand new

Maybe we could find love once more

Paper weight the letters I’ve saved

And now there just weighing me down oh dear

I’ll paper bag the memories we’ve had

And bury them far from here

Heart of glass you shattered so fast

We were so careless then

But if you would sew together this whole

Then my heart will find love again

Oooooo….Ahhhhh

Paper heart was white from the start

We’ve stained it like burgundy wine

But love is a taste that gets better with age

I know he’ll find love this time

You’re not an angel and I’m not the perfect man but you know I love you
So why won’t you let me in

Give me one reason to stay and I’ll stay
Give me one reason to leave and I’ll leave
I don’t need you to be me
I’ll be just fine being free
Yeah
I’ll be just fine being free

You’re like a shadow that I cannot hold on to
I’m not a prison
I cannot tie you down
Give me one reason to stay and I’ll stay
Give me one reason to leave and I’ll leave
I don’t need you to be me
I’ll be just fine being free
Yeah
I’ll be just fine being free
Oh

And I’ll be alright without you on my side
I’ll still sleep at night but don’t make me have to

Give me one reason
Give me one reason

Give me one reason to stay and I’ll stay
Give me one reason to leave and I’ll leave
I don’t need you to be me
I’ll be just fine being free
I’ll be just fine being free
Yeah
I’ll be just fine being free
Yeah
I’ll be just fine being free

Facing Fears


So here I am in Colorado. Having a great time with wonderful friends. And tonight I’m going go try and conquer one of my fears. I write music. I have written for almost 10 years, but I never play it for anyone. I’m scared of the possible rejection. So tonight I play. I’m going to an open mic night in Denver to get my feet wet. This is one of my resolutions for 2011: get over my fear and play my music. So here goes…I hope I don’t throw up before I go on stage. 😉

Also…I wrote this post from my phone. Regular posts will continue when I get back.

Music Mondays: Kina Grannis


My Friend Rachel posted this video on her facebook. I LOVE IT! Yay for finding new Artists! Her name is Kina Grannis and her new album drops April 5. I highly recommend it.

Love, it's a special day
We should celebrate and appreciate
That you and me found something pretty neat
And I know some say this day is arbitrary

But it's a good excuse, put our love to use
Baby, I know what to do
Baby, I...
I will love you
I'll love you, I'll love you

Love, I don't need those things
I don't need no ring
I don't need anything
But you with me
'Cause in your company
I feel happy, oh so happy and complete

And it's a good excuse, put our love to use
Baby, I know what to do
Baby, I...
I will love you
I'll love you, I'll love you

Yeah, it's a good excuse, put our love to use
Baby, I know what to do
Baby, I...
I will love you
I'll love you, I'll love you

So won't you be my honey bee?
Giving me kisses all the time
Be mine, be my Valentine

So won't you be my honey bee?
Giving sweet kisses all the time
Be mine, be my Valentine

Oh, be my Valentine

I miss those blue eyes
How you kissed me at night
I miss the way we sleep
Like there’s no sunrise
Like the taste of your smile
I miss the way we breathe

But I never told you
What I should have said
No I never told you
I just held it in
And now I miss everything
About you
I can’t believe I still want you
After all the things we’ve
Been through
I miss everything about you
Without you

I see your blue eyes
Every time I close mine
You make it hard to see
Where I belong to when I’m not
Around you
It’s like I’m not with me

But I never told you
What I should have said
No I never told you
I just held it in
And now I miss everything
About you
I can’t believe I still want
You
After all the things we’ve
Been through
I miss everything about you
Without you

But I never told you
What I should have said
No I never told you
I just held it in
And now I miss everything
About you
(still you’re gone)
Can’t believe that I still want
You
After all the things we’ve
Been through
I miss everything about you
Without you

So I’m not sure why it always flows downhill
Why broken cisterns never could stay filled
I’ve spent ten years singing gravity away
But the water keeps on falling from the sky

And here tonight while the stars are blacking out
With every hope and dream I’ve ever had in doubt
I’ve spent ten years trying to sing these doubts away
But the water keeps on falling from my eyes

And heaven knows, heaven knows
I tried to find a cure for the pain
Oh my Lord! To suffer like you do
It would be a lie to run away

So blood is fire pulsing through our veins
We’re either writers or fools behind the reigns
I’ve spent ten years trying to sing it all way
But the water keeps on falling from my tries

And heaven knows, heaven knows
I tried to find a cure for the pain
Oh my Lord! To suffer like you do
It would be a lie to run away
A lie to run
It would be a lie
It would be a lie to run away

It keeps on falling (x4)
Water keeps on falling from my eyes

And heaven knows, heaven knows
I tried to find a cure for the pain
Oh my Lord! To suffer like you do
It would be a lie to run away (x3)

Music Mondays-Dixie Chicks


This song is my life. I wish they would come out with a new album. It’s been awhile.

My friends from high school
Married their high school boyfriends
Moved into houses in the same ZIP codes
Where their parents live

But I, I could never follow
No I, I could never follow

I hit the highway in a pink RV with stars on the ceiling
Lived like a gypsy
Six strong hands on the steering wheel

I’ve been a long time gone now
Maybe someday, someday I’m gonna settle down
But I’ve always found my way somehow

By taking the long way
Taking the long way around
Taking the long way
Taking the long way around

I met the queen of whatever
Drank with the Irish and smoked with the hippies
Moved with the shakers
Wouldn’t kiss all the asses that they told me to

No I, I could never follow
No I, I could never follow

It’s been two long years now
Since the top of the world came crashing down
And I’m getting’ it back on the road now

But I’m taking the long way
Taking the long way around
I’m taking the long way
Taking the long way around
The long
The long way around

Well, I fought with a stranger and I met myself
I opened my mouth and I heard myself
It can get pretty lonely when you show yourself
Guess I could have made it easier on myself

But I, I could never follow
No I, I could never follow

Well, I never seem to do it like anybody else
Maybe someday, someday I’m gonna settle down
If you ever want to find me I can still be found

Taking the long way
Taking the long way around
Taking the long way
Taking the long way around

Music Monday’s – JJ Heller


I have unanswered prayers
I have trouble I wish wasn’t there
And I have asked a thousand ways
That You would take my pain away
You would take my pain away

I am trying to understand
How to walk this weary land
Make straight the paths that crookedly lie
Oh Lord, before these feet of mine
Oh Lord, before these feet of mine

When my world is shaking
Heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave Your hands

When You walked upon the Earth
You healed the broken, lost, and hurt
I know You hate to see me cry
One day You will set all things right
Yea, one day You will set all things right

When my world is shaking
Heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave Your hands

Your hands
Your hands that shape the world
Are holding me, they hold me still
Your hands that shape the world
Are holding me, they hold me still

When my world is shaking
Heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave You when…

When my world is shaking
Heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave…
I never leave Your hands

Payback’s a Bitch Just Like You!


I write songs. Music and lyrics. Most of the time they never see the light of day. Occasionally they do get played for different things. Sometimes I just write to get my feelings out. It is very therapeutic for me. I am still very hurt over my friend betraying me. I wish I didn’t care, but I do and what hurts the most is that she does not even think that what she did is wrong. I never really told her how I felt, I didn’t want her to feel bad. Stupid, I know. Why care about someones feelings when they don’t care about yours. Unfortunately, that is who I am and try as I might I have been unsuccessful at changing that. So instead I am in the process of writing a little song that reflects my feelings. I really hope someday that she hears this and cries…ok, maybe not…yay, I do. 😉
