I just purchased a new CD, and the chorus of one of the songs really struck me. "At the end of the day Did I laugh and dance enough Did I tell my friends how much they really mean to me At the end of the day Did I really push myself Or was I too afraid To give my heart away At the end of the day" The song is "At the End of the Day" by a new singer/songwriter by the name of Kellie Coffey. I have a strong love of music, especially music that moves my soul, and this really caught me the first time I heard it. What stirs you? | ||

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me I once was lost but now am found Was blind but now I see 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear And grace my fears relieved How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed | |||

I recently reconnected with a friend I had not talked with in a very long time. While we spoke on the phone, this song came on, and brought me to tears. I miss the colors that you brought into my life Your golden smile, those blue-green eyes I miss your gentle voice in lonely times like now Saying it'll be alright I miss my friend The one my heart and soul confided in The one I felt the safest with The one who knew just what to say to make me laugh again And let the light back in I miss my friend "I Miss My Friend" by Darryl Worley | |||

Serge Gainsbourg - Sorry Angel It a 3,7 Mo mp3 file. So, f you can't download it you can hear a little bad sample onAMAZON.fr, choose "MUSIQUE", then serach for "love on the beat" (with "quotes"), then click the 1st CD proposed and listen to 2nd song (few seconds, in a bad compression quality).

Well I just heard the news today It seems my life is going to change I closed my eyes, begin to pray Then tears of joy stream down my face With arms wide open Under the sunlight Welcome to this place I'll show you everything With arms wide open With arms wide open Well I don't know if I'm ready To be the man I have to be I'll take a breath, I'll take her by my side We stand in awe, we've created life With arms wide open Under the sunlight Welcome to this place I'll show you everything With arms wide open Now everything has changed I'll show you love I'll show you everything With arms wide open With arms wide open I'll show you everything ...oh yeah With arms wide open..wide open [Guitar Break] If I had just one wish Only one demand I hope he's not like me I hope he understands That he can take this life And hold it by the hand And he can greet the world With arms wide open... With arms wide open Under the sunlight Welcome to this place I'll show you everything With arms wide open Now everything has changed I'll show you love I'll show you everything With arms wide open With arms wide open I'll show you everything..oh yeah With arms wide open....wide open "With Arms Wide Open" ~~Creed | |||

Where were you when the world stopped turnin' that September day? Out in the yard with your wife and children; Or working on some stage in L.A.? Did you stand there in shock at the sight of that black smoke Rising against that blue sky? Did you shout out in anger in fear for your neighbor Or did you just sit down and cry? Did you weep for the children that lost their dear loved ones? Did you pray for the ones who don't know? Did you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble and sob for the ones left below? Did you burst out in pride for the red white and blue And the heroes who died just doin' what they do? Did you look up to heaven for some kind of answer? And look at yourself for what really matters? (Chorus) I'm just a singer of simple songs; I'm not a real political man I watch CNN, but I'm not sure I can tell you the difference in Iraq and Iran But I know Jesus and I talk to God And I remember this from when I was young Faith, Hope and Love are some good things He gave us And the greatest is Love. Where were you when the world stopped turning That September day? Teaching a class full of innocent children; Driving down some cold interstate? Did you feel guilty 'cause you're a survivor in a crowded room did you feel alone? Did you call up your mother and tell her you love her? Did you dust off that bible at home? Did you open your eyes hope it never happened; And close your eyes and not go to sleep? Did you notice the sunset the first time in ages; Or speak to some stranger on the street? Did you lay down at night and think of tomorrow; Go out and buy you a gun? Did you turn off that violent old movie you're watchin' And turn on "I Love Lucy" reruns? Did you go to a church and hold hands with some strangers? Stand in line and give your own blood? Did you just stay home and cling tight to your family Thank God you had somebody to love? (Chorus) I'm just a singer of simple songs; I'm not a real political man I watch CNN, but I'm not sure I can tell you the difference in Iraq and Iran But I know Jesus and I talk to God And I remember this from when I was young Faith, Hope and Love are some good things He gave us And the greatest is Love. I'm just a singer of simple songs; I'm not a real political man I watch CNN, but I'm not sure I can tell you the difference in Iraq and Iran But I know Jesus and I talk to God And I remember this from when I was young Faith, Hope and Love are some good things He gave us And the greatest is Love. And the greatest is Love. And the greatest is Love. Where were you when the world stopped turnin' that September day? "Where Were You" ~~Alan Jackson | |||

When I walked in The band just started The singer couldn't carry a tune in a bucket. Was on a mission to drown her memory but I thought no way with all this ruckus. But after One round with Jose Quervo I caught my boots tappin 'long to the beat. And after Two rounds with Jose Quervo that band was sounding pretty darn good to me. Then some stranger asked me dance And I revealed to her my two left feet. Said don't get me wrong I'm glad you asked But tonight's about me and an old memory. But after Three rounds with Jose Quervo I let her lead me out on the floor And after Four rounds with Jose Quervo I was showin' off moves never seen before. After round 5 or round 6 I done forgot what I come to forget. After round 7 or was it 8? I bought a round for the whole dang place! After nine rounds with Jose Quervo They were countin' me out And I was about to give in The after ten rounds with Jose Quervo... I lost count and started countin' again! One round with Jose Quervo I went Two rounds with Jose Quervo Three rounds with Jose Quervo Five rounds with Jose Quervo or was it five? Six rounds with Jose Quervo Ten Rounds With Jose Quervo ~~Tracy Byrd | |||

A rollicking folk-song by Stan Rogers: The Mary Ellen Carter She went down last October in a pouring driving rain. The skipper he'd been drinking and the Mate he felt no pain. Too close to Three Mile Rock, and she was dealt her mortal blow, And the Mary Ellen Carter settled low. There were five of us aboard her when she finally was awash. We'd worked like hell to save her, all heedless of the cost. And the groan she gave as she went down, it caused us to proclaim That the Mary Ellen Carter'd rise again. Well, the owners wrote her off; not a nickel would they spend. "She gave twenty years of service, boys, then met her sorry end. But insurance paid the loss to us, so let her rest below." Then they laughed at us and said we had to go. But we talked of her all winter, some days around the clock, For she's worth a quarter million, afloat and at the dock. And with every jar that hit the bar, we swore we would remain And make the Mary Ellen Carter rise again. (refrain) Rise again, rise again, That her name not be lost to the knowledge of men. For those who loved her best and were with her till the end, We'll make the Mary Ellen Carter rise again. All spring, now, we've been with her on a barge lent by a friend. Three dives a day in hard hat suit and twice I've had the bends. Thank God it's only sixty feet and the currents here are slow Or I'd never have the strength to go below. But we've patched her rents, stopped her vents, dogged hatch and porthole down. Put cables to her, 'fore and aft and girded her around. Tomorrow, noon, we hit the air and then take up the strain. And watch the Mary Ellen Carter rise again. (refrain) For we couldn't leave her there, you see, to crumble into scale. She'd saved our lives so many times, living through the gale And the laughing, drunken rats who left her to a sorry grave They won't be laughing in another day. . . And you, to whom adversity has dealt the final blow With smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go Turn to, and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain And like the Mary Ellen Carter, rise again. Rise again, rise again Though your heart may be broken, your life about to end No matter what you've lost, be it a home, a love, a friend, Like the Mary Ellen Carter, rise again. | |||

Wash Away Thoose Years She came calling One early morning She showed her crown of thorns She whispered softly To tell a story About how she had been wronged As she lay lifeless He stole her innocence And this is how she carried on Well I guess she closed her eyes And just imagined everything's alright But she could not hide her tears 'Cause they were sent to wash away those years They were sent to wash away those years My anger's violent But still I'm silent When tragedy strikes at home I know this decadence Is shared by millions Remember you're not alone For we have crossed many oceans And we labor in between In life there are many quotients And I hope I find the mean A friend came to me with this song told me to listen to. The words are very powerful and have a powerful meaning | |||
