The Lost MP3 Files
I have three or four MP3 players, mainly because I keep on losing them but they always turn up somehow. One of them was lost for a few years, but it just reappeared, and it's like a time machine. Songs I played over and over as I hiked for miles across vast expanses, back in the days when that was possible. I still walk (a LOT) but not like then.
The past several years have been a different kind of journey. And the MP3 player that I just found is like walking back into a different age, before several cognitive changes took place. A lot of feeling comes through to me in music. Part of my journey has been re-learning the gift of appreciating music. For a while, I lost the capability of comprehending lyrics, or remembering lyrics. Though I could recall every nuance of a tune, the words were lost someplace. Music became a cacophony, mere noise. But then I learned how to read the lyrics while listening to the songs, and in the process something else was regained - my own sure and clear voice, and audio clarity. I also regained the capacity to read and understand written and spoken words, and to convey at least a complete thought (if not perfect syntax). Sound ceased to be noise, and I could differentiate between a bird calling from far away and a plane flying overhead. Honestly, I would have rather been struck deaf than to have sounds competing in a mish-mash. No one will ever comprehend except for me, what a gift it is, that they no longer do. I know how blessed I am for this. This thread is for music coupled with the complete lyrics. Maybe someone else out there is trying to re-learn their own language (whatever that language may be) and could benefit from reading and listening along here. I would also like to see posts in other languages, but I am afraid if I post in anything other than my native language (english) I would not be sure if the lyrics were correct and do not wish to offend anyone by posting wrong lyrics. Anyone who can, is welcome to do so. I'm going to start this off, and I am fully aware I may be alone in this endeavor of trying to improve speech and language by using music and lyrics. That's okay! I'm just grateful for the space in which to do this. I'm probably going to use songs that may be considered "oldies" because it's what is more commonly found in my "long term memory banks"; women's music if I can find it, and lots of stuff from the "lost MP3 files." My first offering, from the lost MP3 files: Cris Williamson, from the album "The Changer And The Changed". I listened to this non-stop I first got it (using something called a "record player"). It was my introduction to "women's music" and I gathered quite an eclectic collection of various artists over the years. Unfortunately, not all of those artists have youtubes of their songs available. [nomedia="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMg5EuT3WuQ"]YouTube - Cris Williamson - Waterfall[/nomedia] Sometimes it takes a rainy day just to let you know everything's gonna be all right all right I've been dreaming in the sun won't you wake me up, someone I need a little peace of mind Wake me from this dream that I have dreamed so many times I need a little peace of mind Oh, I need a little peace of mind When you open up your life to the living All things come spilling in on you and you're flowing like a river, The Changer and The Changed you've got to spill some over spill some over spill some over, over all Filling up and spilling over it's and endless waterfall Filling up and spilling over over all Filling up and spilling over it's and endless waterfall Filling up and spilling over over all Like the rain falling on the ground like the rain falling all around Sometimes it takes a rainy day just to let you know everything's gonna be all right I know, I know I know all right Filling up and spilling over it's and endless waterfall Filling up and spilling over over all Filling up and spilling over it's and endless waterfall Filling up and spilling over over all oh ba ba ba ba... fade out (now, if i just knew how to make the youtube screen instead of the link...) |

You Gotta Love Someone
[nomedia="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_TZoHNQCKA"]YouTube - Elton John You Gotta Love Someone[/nomedia]
You can win the fight, you can grab a piece of the sky You can break the rules but before you try You gotta love someone You gotta love someone You can stop the world, steal the face from the moon You can beat the clock, but before high noon You gotta love someone You gotta love someone You've got one life with a reason You need two hearts on one side When you stand alone and there's no one there To share the way it feels inside and baby You can cheat the devil and slice a piece of the sun Burn up the highway but before you run You gotta love someone You gotta love someone When you're gonna play with fire You let someone share the heat When you're on your own and there's no one there To cool the flames beneath your feet and baby You can win the fight, you can grab a piece of the sky You can break the rules but before you try You gotta love someone You gotta love someone You gotta love someone You gotta love someone |

Awful Beautiful Life
[nomedia="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltWDMdadq98"]YouTube - Darryl Worley - Awful Beautiful Life[/nomedia] -- awful beautiful life
I woke up early with a poundin' in my head I'd been out the night before with all my friends A little worried, kinda wonderin' what I did I said, " Lord, please forgive me for my sins." My wife wanted to kill me, but she tried to save me first "You're goin' if I have to drag your butt to church." I love this crazy, tragic, Sometimes almost magic, Awful, beautful life I read the hymns and kinda sorta sang along And made it through the Sunday sermon wide awake We met the family for dinner at our home Drank some beer, watched a game, and cooked some steaks My little brother had a big fight with his wife And my poor mother sat between'em both all night I love this crazy, tragic, Sometimes almost magic, Awful, beautful life We said a prayer for Cousin Michael in Iraq We're all aware that he may never make it back We talked about the way we missed his stupid jokes And how he loved to be a soldier more than most I laid in bed that night and thought about the day And how my life is like a roller coaster ride The ups and downs and crazy turns along the way It'll throw you off if you don't hold on tight You can't really smile until you've shed some tears I could die today or I might live on for years I love this crazy, tragic, Sometimes almost magic, Awful, beautful life I love this crazy, tragic, Sometimes almost magic, Awful, beautful life Alright It's a beautiful life Awful, beautiful, life I love this life It's a beautiful life |

Unwritten
[nomedia="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jloQ6xsx3bE"]YouTube - Natasha Bedingfield Unwritten (With Lyrics)[/nomedia] -- unwritten
I am unwritten, can't read my mind, I'm undefined I'm just beginning, the pen's in my hand, ending unplanned Staring at the blank page before you Open up the dirty window Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find Reaching for something in the distance So close you can almost taste it Release your inhibitions Feel the rain on your skin No one else can feel it for you Only you can let it in No one else, no one else Can speak the words on your lips Drench yourself in words unspoken Live your life with arms wide open Today is where your book begins The rest is still unwritten Oh, oh, oh I break tradition, sometimes my tries, are outside the lines We've been conditioned to not make mistakes, but I can't live that way Staring at the blank page before you Open up the dirty window Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find Reaching for something in the distance So close you can almost taste it Release your inhibitions Feel the rain on your skin No one else can feel it for you Only you can let it in No one else, no one else Can speak the words on your lips Drench yourself in words unspoken Live your life with arms wide open Today is where your book begins Feel the rain on your skin No one else can feel it for you Only you can let it in No one else, no one else Can speak the words on your lips Drench yourself in words unspoken Live your life with arms wide open Today is where your book begins The rest is still unwritten Staring at the blank page before you Open up the dirty window Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find Reaching for something in the distance So close you can almost taste it Release your inhibitions Feel the rain on your skin No one else can feel it for you Only you can let it in No one else, no one else Can speak the words on your lips Drench yourself in words unspoken Live your life with arms wide open Today is where your book begins Feel the rain on your skin No one else can feel it for you Only you can let it in No one else, no one else Can speak the words on your lips Drench yourself in words unspoken Live your life with arms wide open Today is where your book begins The rest is still unwritten The rest is still unwritten The rest is still unwritten Oh, yeah, yeah |
