Runaway Train - Soul Asylum

I was watching RockStar SuperNova this week and heard one of my favorite 90's grunge songs. I love Grunge.
Here are the lyrics and a link to the Rock Star performance! I hope you like as much as I do. Rockstar SuperNova and here are the Performance Videos. I would suggest you also watch all of Dilana's performances. She is riveting.

Soul Asylum
Runaway Train

Call you up in the middle of the night
Like a firefly without a light
You were there like a slow torch burning
I was a key that could use a little turning

So tired that I couldn't even sleep
So many secrets I couldn't keep
Promised myself I wouldn't weep
One more promise I couldn't keep

It seems no one can help me now
I'm in too deep
There's no way out
This time I have really led myself astray

CHORUS
Runaway train never going back
Wrong way on a one way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here no there

Can you help me remember how to smile
Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
How on earth did I get so jaded
Life's mystery seems so faded

I can go where no one else can go
I know what no one else knows
Here I am just drownin' in the rain
With a ticket for a runaway train

Everything is cut and dry
Day and night, earth and sky
Somehow I just don't believe it

CHORUS

Bought a ticket for a runaway train
Like a madman laughin' at the rain
Little out of touch, little insane
Just easier than dealing with the pain

Runaway train never comin' back
Runaway train tearin' up the track
Runaway train burnin' in my veins
Runaway but it always seems the same

Ziggy Stardust

Another trip down memory lane.. This time it is inspired by my 9yr old grandaughter. She has somehow discovered David Bowie and has had me looking up videos for her. When I found Ziggy - I knew I would have to share . I hope you enjoy. What a fun time to be alive that was.

Chris Daughtry - Two More Good Ones!

This video features Chris singing "Hemorrhage" and "I Walk the Line" I decide to spit the three Chris videos up. Don't miss the other two! Lyrics to Hemorrhage below video!



Hemorrhage
Fuel

Memories are just where you laid them
Drag the waters ’till the depths give up their dead
What did you expect to find?
Was there something you left behind?
Don’t you remember anything I said when I said

Don’t fall away, and leave me to myself
Don’t fall away and leave love bleeding
In my hands, in my hands again
Leave love bleeding
In my hands, in my hands
Love lies bleeding

Oh hold me now I feel contagious
Am I the only place that you’ve left to go
She cries her life is like
Some movie black and white
Dead actors faking lines
Over and over and over again she cries

Don’t fall away, and leave me to myself
Dont fall away, and leave love bleeding
In my hands, in my hands again
Leave love bleeding
In my hands, in my hands
Love lies bleeding

And I wanted
You turned away
You don’t remember, but I do
You never even tried

Don’t fall away and leave me to myself
Don’t fall away and leave love bleeding
In my hands, in my hands again
Leave love bleeding
In my hands, in my hands
Love lies bleeding

405 Emergency Landing - Video of the Day

This is great. I would love to be able to produce videos like this. It is amazing to me what can be done with animation.

As It Lands

This was a time when I was hurt, damaged by the way the world can and will be. Illusions dashed against a concrete wall, scattered by the the injustice of all, by the truths that should not be true, by hope disintegrating, crumbling as it lands..

Brain Damage - Pink Floyd

This is actually the brain of a Meth addict. That is not me, but I know this brain and it has dramatically affected my life.

(This is more me)

Brain Damage

The lunatic is on the grass
The lunatic is on the grass
Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs
Got to keep the loonies on the path

The lunatic is in the hall
The lunatics are in my hall
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor
And every day the paper boy brings more

And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forbodings too
I’ll see you on the dark side of the moon

The lunatic is in my head
The lunatic is in my head
You raise the blade, you make the change
You re-arrange me ’till I’m sane
You lock the door
And throw away the key
There’s someone in my head but it’s not me.

And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear
You shout and no one seems to hear
And if the band you’re in starts playing different tunes
I’ll see you on the dark side of the moon

Am I who I think I am or who they think I am or neither? I do not think I am who they see at all.

Stephan Colbert Roasts President Bush

Stephan has balls the size of a Rhino. I love Colbert. I hope Bush doesn't make him "go away".

New Bush Video "Let's Bomb Iran"

One of the 18000 trillion reasons I love living in the USA. We can make videos like this and not be hung or shot. We can lampoon anyone we damn well please. This is a funny one.

Tea for the Tillerman - Wild World

Tea for the Tillerman was a one of a kind album. Every artist or band has that one special album. This is Cat Stevens special one. Wild World is a classic. It spoke of the times and the times they were crazy back then. They are crazy now, but in a different way, in more of a mean way. Most of the world was embracing life with open arms in the Sixties and Seventies.

1971

Listen to a sample here : www.vh1.com/artists/az/stevens_cat/83715/album.jhtml

Wild World
Cat Stevens

La la la la la...

Now that I've lost everything to you
You say that you want to start something new
And it's breaking my heart, you're leaving
Baby, I'm grieving
If you want to leave, take good care
Hope you find a lot of nice things to wear
Then a lot of nice things turn bad out there

[CHORUS]
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
It's hard to get by, just upon a smile
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
I'll always remember you
Like a child, girl

You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do
And it's breaking my heart in two
Cause I never wanna see you sad, girl
Don't be a bad girl
Now if you wanna leave, take good care
Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
Just remember there's a lot, I'd beware

REPEAT CHORUS

La la la la la...

If you want to leave, take good care
Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there's a lot, I'd beware

REPEAT CHORUS

Oh baby, baby, it's a wild world (x2)

La da da...
Ooooh, mmmm, oh yeah, hey...
La da da...
Doo doo...
Mmmm, oh yeah
La da da...
Doo doo...
Mmmm, doo doo...mmmm

Fell On Black Days

http://music.yahoo.com/track/821973

Fell On Black Days

Whatsoever I've feared has
Come to life
Whatsoever I've fought off
Became my life
Just when everyday
Seemed to greet
Me with a smile
Sunspots have faded
And now I'm doing time
Cause I fell on
Black days

Whomsoever I've cured
I've sickened now
Whomsoever I've cradled
I've put you down
I'm a search light soul
They say but I can't
See it in the night
I'm only faking
When I get it right
Cause I fell on
Black days
How would I know
That this could be my fate

So what you wanted to
See good has made you blind
And what you wanted to
Be yours has made it
Mine
So don't you lock up
Something that you
Wanted to see fly
Hands are for shaking
No not tying

I sure don't
Mind a change
But I fell on black
Days
How would I know
That this could be
My fate

Chris Cornell, Soundgarden, SUPERUNKNOWN

Soundgarden split up April 9th, 1997, but I still love them.

SOUNDGARDEN is:

Chris Cornell--vocals/guitar Kim Thayil--lead guitar Matt Cameron--drums/percussion *Ben Shepard--bass/vocals(Badmotorfinger, Superunknown, Down On The Upside) *Hiro Yamamoto--bass(Screaming Life/Fopp, Ultramega OK, Louder Than Love)

CHRIS CORNELL - Poet

"Success is really only a measure of what has happened before," says Chris Cornell, who as singer for Seattle's recently disbanded Soundgarden, reintroduced integrity and reckless passion back into the tired genre of hard rock. Though Soundgarden split in 1997 at the height of their 12-year-career, Cornell continues on in the tradition of breaking boundaries and challenging traditions with his daringly eclectic debut Euphoria Morning.

"I don't think you ever really reach a plateau where you're good enough at your craft to just stop and rest on past achievements. You always have to create something new rather than borrow or lean on what you've done in the past. It's like being a baby. You've just been born and have totally new parameters. The world is wide open."

Grape Lady - Another's Pain is My Gain

This video cracked me up. I am just mean sometimes. This was the sort of day where I enjoyed seeing someone land face first!

How did I miss 420?

Huh, I missed posting on 420? I musta got stoned and missed it.
This video reminded me, so here is my belated 420 post. For all my 420 friends around the world. Heres to it. Can you find the video on this page?

Nickleback - Photograph

Video and Lyrics - Sing Along (lyrics below video)
I cannot get tired of this song. Sing with me.



PHOTOGRAPH
Look at this photograph
Everytime I do it makes me laugh
How did our eyes get so red
And what the hell is on Joey's head

And this is where I grew up
I think the present owner fixed it up
I never knew we'd ever went without
The second floor is hard for sneakin' out

And this is where I went to school
Most of the time I had better things to do
Criminal records says I've broke in twice
I must have done it half a dozen times

I wonder if it's too late
Should I go back and try to graduate
Last man and now that it was back then
If I was them I wouldn't let me in

Oh oh oh oh god I....I

Every memory of looking out the back door
I have a photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye

Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye

Remember the old arcade
Blew every dollar that we ever made
The cops seeing us hanging out
They said somebody went and burned it down

We used to listen to the radio
And sing along with every song we know
We said someday we'd find out how it feels
To sing to more than just the steering wheel

Kim's the first girl I kissed
I was so nervous that I nearly missed
She's had a couple of kids since then
I haven't seen her since god knows when

Oh oh oh oh god I...I

Every memory of looking out the back door
I have a photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye

Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye

I miss that town
I miss the faces
You can't erase it
you can't replace it
I miss it now
I can't believe it
So hard to stay
So hard to leave it

If I could I relive those days
I know the one thing that would never change......

Every memory of looking out the back door
I have a photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye

Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
Its hard to say, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye

Look at this photograph
Everytime I do it makes me laugh
Everytime I do it makes me......

Poems, Prayers and Promises

This album came out in 1971. That was a great year for music. Dark Side of the Moon came out then too. I was sixteen years old and I stubbed my toe. I got pregnant. My poor Mom cried and cried and I was way more scared than I wanted anyone to know, but it was also one of the best times of my life. My one and only child(daughter) is 32 now and I am 51 with three grandchildren and things have worked out fine. Good times and bad times. I was too young to really grasp the seriousness of Vietnam and the revolution taking place in America. I was just old enough to enjoy the freedom, the music, the camaraderie, the smoke(gave that up while pregers) and the changes taking place. I had met a group of older friends from the University of Arlington in Texas. They were a diverse group and I learned a lot from them, how to party hardy and also much about the world. This John Denver song captures the easy, laid back feelings of the 70's, just as Jefferson Airplane captured the turbulance and anger.

JOHN DENVER
POEMS PRAYERS AND PROMISES
March/1971


I've been lately thinking about my life's time
All the things I've done and how it's been
And I can't help believing in my own mind
I know I'm gonna hate to see it end
I've seen a lot of sunshine slept out in the rain
Spent a night or two all on my own
I've known my lady's pleasures had myself some friends
And spent a time or two in my own home

I have to say it now it's been a good life all in all
It's really fine to have a chance to hang around
Lie there by the fire and watch the evening tire
While all my friends and my old lady sit and pass a pipe around
And talk of poems and prayers and promises and things that we believe in
How sweet it is to love someone how right it is to care
How long it's been since yesterday what about tomorrow
And what about our dreams and all the memories we share

The days they pass so quickly now the nights are seldom long
Time around me whispers when it's cold
The changes somehow frighten me still I have to smile
It turns me on to think of growing old
For though the life's been good to me there's still so much to do
So many things my mind has never known
I'd like to raise a family I'd like to sail away
And dance across the mountains on the moon

I have to say it now
It's been a good life all in all
It's really fine
To have the chance to hang around
And lie there by the fire
And watch the evening tire
While all my friends and my old lady
Sit and watch the sun go down

And talk of poems and prayers and promises
And things that we believe in
How sweet it is to love someone
How right it is to care
How long it's been since yesterday
What about tomorrow
What about our dreams
And all the memories we share

Another "Your Beautiful" Video Spoof

What can I say? I am a sucker for James Blunts "Your Beautiful" and shirtless young men. This is another video featuring both.

Easter Pictures

Easter went well. The kiddos had a good time. The Chocolate bunnies were melting in the hot Texas sun, but we managed to eat them anyways.

Mack liked his Spiderman egg best!

Erin Palace and Dylan hit the jackpot with the Prize Eggs.

Sydni Dawn went for the Chocolate Bunnies.

Madison made out like a bandit with jewlery and a big basket of eggs.

They hunted eggs, played games and flew kites. I ran out of memory and didn't get the kites,,darn it, I really need to get a memory card.

If I Only Had A Brain - George and Dick

If I Only Had A Brain

(George)
I could wile away the hours
Conferrin' with the flowers
Consultin' with the rain

And my head I'd be scratchin'
While my thoughts were busy hatchin'
If I only had a brain

I'd unravel any riddle
For any individ'le
In trouble or in pain

(Dick)
With the thoughts you'd be thinkin'
You could be another Lincoln
If you only had a brain

(George)
Oh, I would tell you why
The ocean's near the shore
I could think of things I never thunk before
And then I'd sit and think some more

I would not be just a nuffin'
My head all full of stuffin'
My heart all full of pain
I would dance and be merry
Life would be a ding-a-derry
If I only had a brain

No insult intended to Mr Ray Bolger. My favorite Scarecrow ever!

Someone Needs Glasses

Don't watch this one in front of the kids. This poor girl needs glasses badly. Ok, it's another Google video and it's funny.

Sydni's Video

My grandaughter made this video for me. I wished she had done it in a more lighted area,,,lol She is a beautiful person and as she says "The Prettiest Girl You Know"

I Am Not A Bot!

Wanna Play?

I guess I have been posting too many videos. Blogger wondered if I was a spam blog. Nope, just have a lot going on right now and it has been difficult to write. It is late now and the house is quiet, except for a branch that is hitting the window and sliding around making a fingernails on chalkboard sound. I keep meaning to trim it.

We had another cold spell hit after a very warm week. I say cold, I should say colder. It is around 56 degrees right now. This is Texas. Flowers are popping up here and there. They are sneaking up on me this year. I didn't pre-plan or prepare for spring like I usually do. The weather was so unpredictable, I didn't even trust the Farmers Almanac.

I think I was too ambitious with my Garden planting and I can't keep up with the weeds in so many areas. I am always overwhelmed and say I won't be able to do it, but manage to have pretty gardens in late spring and early summer anyways, but this year,,,,,When July and August hit everyone just says to hell with it.

This year though they are already talking heavy water restrictions. The little rain we had didn't help the drought conditions much at all.

Your Beautiful Video - A Heck Yes Production

This is a funny version of James Blunts "Your Beautiful"

Smart Woman - Video

Humor makes life tolerable
This woman had a good idea.

The Facts

the harm you pray against has come
your soul cries out for answers
there are none
face it with strength you must
with breath catching and stomach clenching
you trust
must not think of it too long
overwhelming fear at the facts
please make them be wrong
it is wrong, it is all wrong

Please Remember Me

(rodney crowell/will jennings)

When all our tears have reached the sea
Part of you will live in me
Way down deep inside my heart
The days keep coming without fail
A new wind is gonna find your sail
That’s where your journey starts

You’ll find better love
Strong as it ever was
Deep as the river runs
Warm as the morning sun
Please remember me

Just like the waves down by the shore
We’re gonna keep on coming back for more
’cause we don’t ever wanna stop
Out in this brave new world you seek
Oh the valleys and the peaks
And I can see you on the top

You’ll find better love
Strong as it ever was
Deep as the river runs
Warm as the morning sun
Please remember me

Remember me when you’re out walkin’
When the snow falls high outside your door
Late at night when you’re not sleepin’
And moonlight falls across your floor
When I can’t hurt you anymore

You’ll find better love
Strong as it ever was
Deep as the river runs
Warm as the morning sun
Please remember me
Please remember me
