Oh my darling

Clementine / Megan Washington
Take me out, take me home, take me anywhere
I walked a hundred miles so I could give a dog a bone.

I'm alright, I don't mind.
I'm just running into something bigger than the something that I left behind.
Oh my darling, Clementine.
Turn the water into holy water.

You are restless, very young.
Got a message from your mother,
said to tell you she'll be coming round the mountain when she comes.
Oh my darling, Clementine.
Turn the water into holy water.
Oh my darling, Clementine.
Turn the water into a little bit more time.

Take me out, take me home, take me anywhere.
I walked a hundred miles so I could hear them play your song on the radio.

Putting it all together to create something completley new

Not enough superlatives to express how I feel about this project. This guy, Kutiman, masshes up music bits he finds on you tube, to create something fresh and new.

Walk this way

Or maybe walk this way:


And here is amazing amazing original from Run DMC ft. Aerosmith. It was such a shocker when it came out. Put such a smile on my face. So which way to walk?

Sail Away With Me Honey

I put my heart in your hands



Sail away with me/ David Gray

Sail away with me honey
I put my heart in your hands
Sail away with me honey now, now, now
Sail away with me
What will be will be
I wanna hold you now

Crazy skies all wild above me now
Winter howling at my face
And everything I held so dear
Disappeared without a trace
Oh all the times Ive tasted love
Never knew quite what I had
Little darling if you hear me now
Never needed you so bad
Spinning round inside my head

Sail away with me honey
I put my heart in your hands
Sail away with me honey now, now, now
Sail away with me
What will be will be
I wanna hold you now

Ive been talking drunken gibberish
Falling in and out of bars
Trying to find some explanation here
For the way some people are
How did it ever come so far

Sail away with me honey
I put my heart in your hands
Sail away with me honey now, now, now
Sail away with me
What will be will be
I wanna hold you now
Sail away with me honey
I put my heart in your hands
Sail away with me honey now, now, now
Sail away with me
What will be will be
I wanna hold you now

Young Folks / Peter, Bjorn & John

If i told you things i did before
told you how i used to be
would you go along with someone like me
if you knew my story word for word
had all of my history
would you go along with someone like me

i did before and had my share
it didn't lead nowhere
i would go along with someone like you
it doesn't matter what you did
who you were hanging with
we could stick around and see this night through

and we don't care about the young folks
talkin' 'bout the young style
and we don't care about the old folks
talkin' 'bout the old style too
and we don't care about their own faults
talkin' 'bout our own style
all we care 'bout is talking
talking only me and you

usually when things has gone this far
people tend to disappear
no one will surprise me unless you do

i can tell there's something goin' on
hours seems to disappear
everyone is leaving i'm still with you

it doesn't matter what we do
where we are going too
we can stick around and see this night through

and we don't care about the young folks
talkin' 'bout the young style
and we don't care about the old folks
talkin' 'bout the old style too
and we don't care about their own faults
talkin' 'bout our own style
all we care 'bout is talking
talking only me and you

and we don't care about the young folks
talkin' 'bout the young style
and we don't care about the old folks
talkin' 'bout the old style too
and we don't care about their own faults
talkin' 'bout our own style
all we care 'bout is talking
talking only me and you
talking only me and you

talking only me and you
talking only me and you

If i only knew how lovely

("The Shoes Remix")


Young Love / Mystery Jets

If I only knew your name
I’d go from door to door
Searching all the crowded streets
For the place that I once saw

If I only knew your name
I’d go from door to door
Tell me have you seen the girl
I’ve met just once before

One Night of Love
Nothing more nothing less
One Night of Love
To put my head in a mess
Is that you on the bus?
Is that you on the train?
You wrote your number on my hand
And it came off in the rain

One Night of Love
Nothing more nothing less
One Night of Love
Has put my bed in a mess
Is that you on the bus?
Is that you on the train?
You wrote your number on my hand
And it came off in the rain

If I only knew your name
I’d go from door to door
Searching all the crowded streets
For the place that I once saw

If I only knew your name
I’d go from door to door
Tell me have you seen the girl
I’ve met just once before

Woah-Oh

Young Love
Never seems to last
Far too young
Until they have a past
Playing games
People move so fast
You don’t need eyes to see
If someones got a heart of glass

Young Love
Never seems to last
Far too young
Until they have a past
One night of love
Nothing more nothing less
One night of love
Has left my heart in a mess

If I only knew your name
I’d go from door to door
Searching all the crowded streets
For the place that I once saw

If I only knew your name
I’d go from door to door
Tell me have you seen the boy
I’ve met just once before

Woah-Oh

I'll only fly away

Nothing too special about the music, but the words felt right for me this morning.

I'm Like A Bird  /Nelly Furtado

You're beautiful, that's for sure
You'll never ever fade
You're lovely but it's not for sure
That I won't ever change
And though my love is rare
Though my love is true

[Chorus:]

I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is, I don't know where my home is
(and baby all I need for you to know is)
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is , I don't know where my home is
All I need for you to know is

Your faith in me brings me to tears
Even after all these years
And it pains me so much to tell
That you don't know me that well
And though my love is rare
Though my love is true

[Chorus]

It's not that I wanna say goodbye
It's just that every time you try to tell me that you love me
Each and every single day I know
I'm going to have to eventually give you away
And though my love is rare
And though my love is true
Hey I'm just scared
That we may fall through

The jurney continues

Guess what, this Nouvelle Vague is my kind of girl. here is another beautiful cover.


Ouch, the sentiments.
The original surely holds it's own:

love will tear us apart

When the routine bites hard
And ambitions are low
And the resentment rides high
But emotions wont grow
And were changing our ways,
Taking different roads
Then love, love will tear us apart again

Why is the bedroom so cold
Turned away on your side?
Is my timing that flawed,
Our respect run so dry?
Yet theres still this appeal
That weve kept through our lives
Love, love will tear us apart again

Do you cry out in your sleep
All my failings expose?
Get a taste in my mouth
As desperation takes hold
Is it something so good
Just cant function no more?
When love, love will tear us apart again

Happy to have, and covered

I was thinking, I should probably want to pay respect to the origin of the name of my blog. Original idea not too relevant to this blog. still.
So here:



Wow, haven't heard them for a while. i like.


This is not a love song / PIL

Happy to have
Not to have not
Big business is
Very wise
I'm crossing over into
Enter prize

This is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song

I'm adaptable
And I like my new role
I'm getting better and better
And I have a new goal
I'm changing my ways
Where money applies
This is not a love song

This is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song

I'm going over to the other side
I'm happy to have
Not to have not
Big business is
Very wise
I'm inside free
Enterprise

This is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song

Not television
Behind the curtain
Out of the cupboard
You take the first train
Into the big world
Are you ready to grab the candle
That turn of vision

This is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song

and you know what, here's a nice smoooooooth cover:

Beutiful Covers

Broke up from my GF a couple of weeks ago. Still mourning our lost love. (Lost is a better term than Dead (love), as lost may be found again).
So, lately I am fond of broken heart, end-of-love-story songs. I also love good cover versions, especially when the cover feels as good, or even better than the original.

Heard a nice one called "why we don't talk anymore" covered by one Nancy Wallace. Dug out the album. it's called [...wait for it...] "Beautiful Covers" and it is a part of a set called "Tom Middleton Presents Crazy Covers V.2".
What can I say. Beautiful.

Could not find a youtube version of Why We Don't Talk, (which is originally by Cliff Richards), but found the bestest cover for this breakup song:


Get This, is worth it:

Better When You're Naked

Heard a funky mix, and liked the words, so looked for it. Cute.
Music only OK, but lyrics put a warm smile on my face.
So video below lyrics.

I Like You So Much Better When You're Naked / Ida Maria

Oh the clever
things I should say to you
They got stuck somewhere
Stuck between me and you

Oh I'm nervous
I don't know what to do
Light a cigarrette
I only smoke when I'm with you
What the hell do I do this for?
You're just another guy
OK, you're kind of sexy
But you're not really special
But I won't mind
If you take me home
Come on, take me home

I won't mind
if you take off all your clothes
Come on, take them off
'Cause I like you so much better when you're naked
I like me so much better when you're naked
I like you so much better when you're naked
I like me so much better when you're naked

Here we go

First!

Well here we go.
Music: songs, videos, lyrics, chords sometimes.
This is not a love song. happy to have, not to have not.
