Sara Bareilles

My poor husband... I've had Sara Bareilles on repeat for I don't know how long. I don't know that I have put up an SB post, so here is my tribute to this fantastic lady! Love Song

 Bottle It Up
 

 Gravity -- This song holds a special place. There was a guy I loved. For years. I put up with a lot, and quite frankly so did he. We ended our relationship, then our friendship. Several times. And yet something... Something always put us back together. For 8 years we did this dance. We would part ways, and reunite. Until one day, I realized I loved another man. I married that man. And now I have reached the other side of someday. There are moments every now and again when I am reminded of him, and I find myself wondering if my old friend is as happy as I am. I don't ask. I don't look him up to see. I simply pray. I pray for him, his health, happiness, and that he finds a home for his heart. I will always wish him the best.

 King Of Anything

 Gonna Get Over You -- My goodness, it is such a wonder finally being on the other side of someday!

Somewhere Over The Rainbow

I think we are all familiar with Over The Rainbow. --Thank you Wizard of Oz-- However, ever since I was a child, I have loved this song. I credit it to the fact that I used to climb the trees in my backyard and pretend I could fly. I used to dream of flying all the time. It helps that I have had quite the imagination for as long as I can remember... when you live inside of your head most of your life, you sort of have to. There was an episode of a show I used to watch where they went inside of my favorite characters head, and she say's, "Yeah, it's sort of Mary Poppins-esk, isn't it..." It made me laugh because that is what I have always said about the inside of my head. I don't think within the box. I don't like to. It seems rather stuffy, and boring to me. I don't think in linear lines either. It is my belief there is always more than one solution to everything, and sometimes you have to be creative when handling a crisis. Throw a little splash of color, so to speak. These days, it seems, everyone thinks, feels, does everything in black and white. BLAH! Give me some color, PLEASE!!! Well, as much as I love rain, and the feel of the clouds, and the deepening of color that all the water and shadows give -- I love the splash of color a rainbow paints across the sky -- as a child I used to pretend I could jump from my tree branch to the other side of the rainbow. And much as Dorothy found out, the other side was something magical, and fun, and colored. However, all I ever got was a scratch and a bruise or two from jumping out of the trees. Not to mention, there is no place like ones bed with a good book and a warm cup of Starbucks on a cold day. [Thank you Starbucks for going corporate and putting your product in powder form so I can buy it and enjoy it at home when I can't make it to your cafe]

Shelter - Birdy



I find shelter in this way
Under cover, hide away
Can you hear when I say
I have never felt this way
Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on
Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on
Could it be, was I there
It felt so crystal in the air
I still want to drown whenever you leave
Please teach me gently how to breathe
And I'll cross oceans like never before
So you can feel the way I feel it too
And I'll send images back at you
So you can see the way I feel it too
Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on
Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on


Skinny Love - Birdy



Come on skinny love just last the year
Pour a little salt we were never here
My my my – my my my – my my my my
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer



I tell my love to wreck it all
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall
My my my – my my my – my my my my
Right in the moment this order's tall


I told you to be patient I told you to be fine
I told you to be balanced I told you to be kind
And In the morning I'll be with you
But it will be a different kind
I'll be holding all the tickets
And you'll be owning all the fines


Come on skinny love what happened here
Suckle on the hope in lite brassiere
My my my – my my my – my my my
Sullen load is full so slow on the split


I told you to be patient I told you to be fine
I told you to be balanced I told you to be kind
Now all your love is wasted then who the hell was I?
Cause now I'm breaking at the britches
And at the end of all your lines


Who will love you? who will fight?
And who will fall, far behind?


Come on skinny love ........
My my my – my my my – my my my

Echo - Jason Walker

This song reminds me of my younger brother. It breaks my heart to see him so unhappy, but he won't let anyone in. So, I'll wish, and pray that someday he finds someone he can confide his secrets in. That maybe one day, he will understand the power and the majesty of the atonement, and finally forgive himself for the things in his past and accept the love his family has for him.



Hello, hello
anybody out there?
'cause I don't hear a sound
alone, alone
I don't really know where the world is but I miss it now

I'm out on the edge and I'm screaming my name
like a fool at the top of my lungs
sometimes when I close my eyes I pretend I'm alright
but it's never enough
cause my echo, echo
is the only voice coming back
my shadow, shadow
is the only friend that I have

listen, listen
I would take a whisper if
that's all you have to give
but it isn't, isn't
you could come and save me
try to chase it crazy right out of my head

I'm out on the edge and I'm screaming my name
like a fool at the top of my lungs
sometimes when I close my eyes I pretend I'm alright
but it's never enough
cause my echo, echo
is the only voice coming back
my shadow, shadow
is the only friend that I have

I don't wanna be down and
I just wanna feel alive and
get to see your face again 
but 'til then
Just my echo, my shadow
youre my only friend

I'm out on the edge and I'm screaming my name
like a fool at the top of my lungs
sometimes when I close my eyes I pretend I'm alright
but it's never enough
cause my echo, echo
oh my shadow, shadow

Hello, hello
anybody out there?
