Galway Girl

In honor of St. Patrick's Day we are attending a Masquerade birthday party. I am excited to make both of us up! But until then, please enjoy a little Irish song for you to make your day a little more joyous!

Well, I took a stroll on the old long walk 

Of a day -I-ay-I-ay 

I met a little girl and we stopped to talk 

Of a fine soft day -I-ay-I-ay 

And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do 

'Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue 

And I knew right then I'd be takin' a whirl 

'Round the Salthill Prom with a Galway girl

We were halfway there when the rain came down 

Of a day -I-ay-I-ay 

And she asked me up to her flat downtown 

Of a fine soft day -I-ay-I-ay 

And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do 

'Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue 

So I took her hand and I gave her a twirl 

And I lost my heart to a Galway girl 

When I woke up I was all alone 

With a broken heart and a ticket home 

And I ask you now, tell me what would you do 

If her hair was black and her eyes were blue 

I've traveled around I've been all over this world 

Boys I ain't never seen nothin' like a Galway girl

Somebody....Gotye

 Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
Told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it's an ache I still remember

You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Like resignation to the end, always the end
So when we found that we could not make sense
Well you said that we would still be friends
But I'll admit that I was glad it was over

But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
No you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
But had me believing it was always something that I'd done
But I don't wanna live that way
Reading into every word you say
You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know

But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
And you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Somebody
(I used to know)
Somebody
(Now you're just somebody that I used to know)

(I used to know)
(That I used to know)
(I used to know)
Somebody

We Found Love

Yellow diamonds in the light

And we're standing side by side

As your shadow crosses mine

What it takes to come alive

It's the way I'm feeling I just can't deny

But I've gotta let it go

We found love in a hopeless place

We found love in a hopeless place

We found love in a hopeless place

We found love in a hopeless place

Shine a light through an open door

Love and life I will divide

Turn away cause I need you more

Feel the heartbeat in my mind

It's the way I'm feeling I just can't deny

But I've gotta let it go

We found love in a hopeless place

We found love in a hopeless place

We found love in a hopeless place

We found love in a hopeless place

Someone Like You

I heard that you're settled down
That you found a girl and you're married now.
I heard that your dreams came true.
Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you.

Old friend, why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light.

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
"I'll remember", you said,
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead.
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead,
Yeah.

You know how the time flies
Only yesterday it was the time of our lives
We were born and raised
In a summer haze
Bound by the surprise of our glory days

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over, yeah.

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
"I'll remember", you said,
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead.

Nothing compares
No worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes
They are memories made.
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
"I'll remember", you said,
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead.

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
"I'll remember", you said,
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead.
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead.

Feeling a little melancholy today and trying to help so I figured I would post this song cause it's just so beautiful. Everybody has their moment's of what ifs? and this is how she describes hers. Such a talent and a voice! Enjoy!

Unchained Melody

While perusing my cd's the other day I came across a song that I had forgotten about. One of my favorites and also from one of my favorite movies too. Enjoy this blast from the past.

Oh, my love, my darling,
I've hungered for your touch a long, lonely time,
Time goes by so slowly and time can do so much.
Are you still mine?
I need your love, I need your love, God speed your love to me.

Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea
Lonely rivers sigh, 'Wait for me, wait for me'
'I'll be coming home, wait for me!'

Are you still mine?
I need your love, I need your love, God speed your love to me

Winter Winds

As I was surfing the internet yesterday on my furlough day I decided to look up a band that I have been curious in for a while now, Mumford and Sons. They are an upcoming band from England that have a pop/folk feel. I have been hesitant to buy the album because I wanted to make sure that I really liked them. I came across a video on YouTube for their song Winter Winds. In my current state of mind, this song just touched me and I knew I needed to go and buy it. It's very mellow and full of haunting lyrics and I highly recommend you buy it! Here is the lyrics to the song that convinced me.....hopefully I can channel this type of writing.

As the winter winds litter London with lonely hearts

The warmth in your eyes swept me into your arms

Was it love or fear of the cold that led us through the night?

For every kiss your beauty trumped my doubt

And my head told my heart

Let love grow

But my heart told my head

This time no, this time no

We'll be washed and buried one day my girl

Ant the time we were given will be left for the world

The flesh that lived and loved will be eaten by plague

So let the memories be good for those who stay



And my head told my heart

Let love grow

But my heart told my head

This time no, this time no

The shame that sent me off from the God that I once loved

Was the same that sent me into your arms

And pestilence has won when you are lost and I am gone

And no hope, no hope will overcome

But if your strife strikes at your sleep

Remember spring swaps snow for leaves

You'll be happy and wholesome again

When the city clears and sun ascends

And my head told my heart

Let love grow

But my heart told my head

This time no, this time no
