I so relate to this song. I do believe that everything is more beautiful (enhanced) when somebody loves me). I've loved this song since I first heard it in Toy Story 2.
When She Loved Me by Sarah McLachlan
When somebody loved me, everything was beautiful
Every hour we spent together, lives within my heart
And when she was sad, I was there to dry her tears
And when she was happy, so was i, when she loved me.
Through the summer and the fall, we had each other, that was all
Just she and I together, like it was meant to be
And when she was lonely, I was there to comfort her
And I knew that she loved me.
So the years went by, I stayed the same
And she began to drift away, I was left alone
Still I waited for the day, when she’d say "I will always love you."
Lonely and forgotten, never thought she’d look my way,
She smiled at me and held me, just like she used to do,
Like she loved me, when she loved me
When somebody loved me, everything was beautiful,
Every hour we spent together, lives within my heart
When she loved me.
by Tori Amos
on my way up north
up on the ventura
i pulled back the hood
and i was talking to you
and i knew then it would be
a life long thing
but i didn't know that we
we could break a silver lining
and i'm so sad
like a good book
i can't put this day back
a sorta fairytale
with you
a sorta fairytale
with you
Sometimes, its hard to hold on, so hard to hold on to my dreams
It isn't always what it seems when you're face to face with me
Like a dagger you stick me in the heart and taste the blood from my blade
And when we sleep would you shelter me in your warm and darkened grave?If I close my eyes forever
Would it all remain unchanged?
If i close my eyes forever
Would it all remain the same?Will you ever take me?
No I just can't take the pain
Would you ever trust me?
No I'll never feel the same (oh)
This song spells out how I feel about healing from the last heartbreak.
Reasons Why by RACHAEL YAMAGATA
I think about how it might have been
We'd spend our days travelin'
It's not that I don't understand you
It's not that I don't want to be with you
But you only wanted me
The way you wanted me
So, I'll head out alone, hope for the best
And we can hang out heads down
As we skip the goodbyes
And you can tell the world what you want them to hear
I've got nothing left to lose, my dear
So, I'm up for the little white lies
But you and I know the reason why
I'm gone, and you're still there
I'm gone, and you're still there
I'm gone, and you're still there
I'll buy a magazine searching for your face
From coast to coast, or where ever I find my place
I'll track you on the radios, and
I'll sign your list in a different name
But as close as I get to you
It's not the same
So, I'll head out alone and hope for the best
We can pat ourselves on the back
And say that we've tried
And if one of us makes it big
We can spill our regrets
And talk about how the love never dies
But you and I know the reason why
I'm gone, and you're still there
I'm gone, and you're still there
I'm gone, and you're still there
So, steal the show, and do your best
To cover the tracks that I have left
I wish you well and hope you find
Whatever you're looking for
The way I might've changed my mind,
But you only showed me the door
So, I will head out alone, hope for the best
We can pat ourselves on the back
And say that we tried
And if one of us makes it big
We can spill our regrets
And talk about how the love never dies
You and I...
You and I...
Know the reason why
Feeling very lonely and sad today. Thinking about the events of this year... what a crazy ride. Found this song while listening to Pandora (it's free and awesome) and I feel like it's about me. Sara Bareilles has a gorgeous voice too.
Gravity by Sara Bareilles
Something always brings me back to you.
It never takes too long.
No matter what I say or do I'll still feel you here 'til the moment I'm gone.
You hold me without touch.
You keep me without chains.
I never wanted anything so much than to drown in your love and not feel your rain.
CHORUS
Set me free, leave me be. I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity.
Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I'm supposed to be.
But you're on to me and all over me.
You loved me 'cause I'm fragile.
When I thought that I was strong.
But you touch me for a little while and all my fragile strength is gone.
CHORUS
Set me free, leave me be. I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity.
Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I'm supposed to be.
But you're on to me and all over me.
I live here on my knees as I try to make you see that you're everything I think I need here on the ground.
But you're neither friend nor foe though I can't seem to let you go.
The one thing that I still know is that you're keeping me down
I got almost everyone that was in my path today at work to sing the Manamana song with me. The Director of Operations was even so inspired to look up more Muppets and Sesame Street videos. I'll post a few of those in the next few days to spread 'em out. It's like these little songs just evoke areas in our brains that make us little children again and everyone just want to sing and get along. :) Doo Dooooo-Doo Doo-Doo!
Work also just provided me with a new laptop. It is smokin' fast (duo core). But there are some weird things happening because they basically got this software that copied the image from my desktop computer to this new laptop. I wasted the last 3 hours trying to get stupid Rhapsody software to work and trying to get Rocker to take sympathy on me to get it to work. Nope. I guess I'll just have to bug the really nice IT guys tomorrow and hopefully they won't think I'm an idiot.
OK more work to do now. At least Rocker was able to fix my corrupted Recycle bin.
Make sure to watch the clip all the way through for the big finale...
