Saturday Song Day 4/25/15

When We Were Young by Brett Dennen

Here's to feeling young forever!

"I'm happy and I'm settled..."

Photosynthesis by Frank Turner

Right now I'm living my days with music as a soundtrack to all the stuff I've got to do.
Today I've been playing a lot of The Avett Brothers Pandora Station. When this song came on, I was really digging it. I looked up the lyrics, and found this gem:

"And I'm happy and I'm settled

In the person I've become"

Saturday Song Day 4/18/05

The first one goes out to my husband: First Day of My Life by Bright Eyes

And another: Just Breathe by Pearl Jam (youtube video live at Austin City Limits)

Just Breathe 

by Pearl Jam

Yes, I understand that every life must end, aw-huh,..

As we sit alone, I know someday we must go, aw-huh,..

Oh I'm a lucky man, to count on both hands

the ones I love,..

Some folks just have one,

yeah, others, they got none, huh-uh

Stay with me,..

Let's just breathe.

Practiced all my sins,

never gonna let me win, aw-huh,..

Under everything, just another human being, aw-huh,..

Yeah, I don't wanna hurt, there's so much in this world

to make me bleed.

Stay with me,..

You're all I see.

Did I say that I need you?

Did I say that I want you?

Oh, if I didn't I'm a fool you see,..

No one knows this more than me.

As I come clean.

I wonder everyday

as I look upon your face, aw-huh,..

Everything you gave

And nothing you would save, aw huh,..

Nothing you would take

Everything you gave...

Did I say that I need you?

Oh, did I say that I want you?

Oh, if I didn't I'm a fool you see,..

No one knows this more than me.

And I come clean, ah-ah...

Nothing you would take,..

Everything you gave.

Hold me till I die,..

Meet you on the other side.

Songwriters: Bentley, Stephanie Kay / Lamar, Mary Holladay / Lawrence, Derek.

Comes and Goes (In Waves) by Greg Laswell

Comes and Goes (In Waves)

by Greg Laswell

This one's for the lonely, the ones that seek and find

Only to be let down time after time

This one's for the torn down, the experts at the fall

Come on friends get up now you're not alone at all

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh

Oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh

And this part was for her

And this part was for her

This part was for her

Does she remember?

It comes and goes in waves

This one's for the faithless, the ones that are surprised

They're only where they are now regardless of their fight

This one's for believing if only for its sake

Come on friends get up now love is to be made

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh

Oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh

And this part was for her

And this part was for her

This part was for her

Does she remember?

It comes and goes in waves, I

Am only led to wonder why

It comes in goes in waves, I

Am only led to wonder why

Why I, why I try

This is for the ones who stand

For the ones who try again

For the ones who need a hand

For the ones who think they can

It comes and goes in waves, I

Am only led to wonder why

It comes and goes in waves, I

Am only led to wonder why

Why I, why, why I fly

Oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh

Oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh

Oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh

Oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh

Accept It and Move On

Accept it and move on is a good motto to live by under certain circumstances...


Why?

I lost a week of my life, but more importantly, I lost a week of my baby's life.

I will never get that week back.

I was there, at home with my baby, and then, I was not.

Life continued in one way or another...

And life continues still.

This I know for sure.

I've accepted it. I've moved on.

And, probably partly because of that, I allowed myself to be happy.

So, I became happy.


Read between the lines as much as you want...


But, what matters is this:

I'm happy and I accept who I am.

I hope you will, too.
