I Run To You

I am desperately seeking motivation at every turn. I need a reason to keep going. I need it to be clear and I need it to be persistent.
So when it isn't I must find something that will be.
Right now I will put on the song "I run to you" by Lady Antebellum and it will be on repeat, seriously until I complete this half marathon.
Over and over again.
I do not tire of things like this. Motivation. I am even going to make a list of things that I run from. Things I run to as well. I guess to stay positive and not just write things that I run from, because well, that would be a lot.
So here is my current motivation.

I Run To You
by; Lady Antebellum


I run, from pain.
I run from hate
I run from prejudice
I run from pessimists
But I run too late
I run, my life
Or is it running me?
Run from my past
I run too fast
Or too slow it seems
When lies become the truth
That’s when I run to you

Chorus:
This world keeps spinning faster
Into a new disaster so I run to you
I run to you baby
And when it all starts coming undone
Baby you’re the only one I run to
I run to you

We run on fumes
Your life and mine
Like the sands of time
Slippin’ right on through
And our love’s the only truth
That’s why I run to you

Oooh, Oh I run to you.

This world keeps spinning faster
Into a new disaster so I run to you
I run to you baby
And when it all starts coming undone
Baby you’re the only one I run to
I run to you

Oooh, Oh I run to you.

Repeat Chorus

I know it's been a while for this blog and believe you me there has not been a lack of musical musings in my life. Just more focus on a few other things in life. One being my other blog. Many others being, what the hell am I doing with my life. Nothing too big haha.
I Hope you enjoy and hopefully soon I will be back with more music!

Terrible Tuesdays

This is the first installment of Terrible Tuesdays.
Where instead of bringing you a song that may relate in a positive way to my life. I bring you, a dumb song I either find irritating or the lyrics to be generally way off base.

Here is..

My Life Would Suck Without You

Guess this means you're sorry
You're standing at my door
Guess this means you take back
All you said before
Like how much you wanted
Anyone but me
Said you'd never come back
But here you are again

'Cause we belong together now, yeah
Forever united here somehow, yeah
You got a piece of me
And honestly,
My life (my life) would suck (would suck) without you

Maybe I was stupid for telling you goodbye
Maybe I was wrong for tryin' to pick a fight
I know that I've got issues
But you're pretty messed up too
Either way, I found out I'm nothing without you

'Cause we belong together now, yeah
Forever united here somehow, yeah
You got a piece of me
And honestly,
My life (my life) would suck (would suck) without you

Being with you
Is so dysfunctional
I really shouldn't miss you
But I can’t let you go
Oh yeah

'Cause we belong together now, yeah
Forever united here somehow, yeah
You got a piece of me
And honestly,
My life (my life) would suck (would suck) without you

'Cause we belong together now, yeah
Forever united here somehow, yeah
You got a piece of me
And honestly,
My life (my life) would suck (would suck) without you

Really Kelly? That is your version of a love song isn't it? You sick freak. I don't really want a person in my life that I could look at and say "my life would suck without you" and have them be in any way responsive to that.

Not a fan.

Somewhere Over The Rainbow

My cousin had a baby shower this weekend. Initially I wanted to poke my eye out with a little tiny fork.As most baby showers make me want to do.
Until the end. When she showed us the DVD of her ultrasound.

She is a nurse and had a 3D ultrasound done.
It is incredible. They take the views and make them 3D and set the entire 20 minute DVD to music of this tiny unborn baby inside my cousin. This was the first song on.

I almost burst into tears. (and I don't cry...ever.)
So close your eyes and enjoy. My heart is honestly at its happiest when this song is on.

Somewhere Over the Rainbow
by: Israel FatGuy (not really his last name but its too long and Hawaiian)

Ooooo oooooo ohoohohoo
Ooooo ohooohoo oooohoo
Ooooo ohoohooo oohoooo
Oohooo oohoooho ooooho
Ooooo oooooo oooooo
Ooooo oooooo oooooo

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Once in a lullaby ii ii iii
Somewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds fly
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Dreams really do come true ooh ooooh
Someday I'll wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me ee ee eeh
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney tops thats where you'll find me oh
Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
And the dream that you dare to,why, oh why can't I? i iiii

Well I see trees of green and
Red roses too,
I'll watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

Well I see skies of blue and I see clouds of white
And the brightness of day
I like the dark and I think to myself
What a wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people passing by
I see friends shaking hands
Saying, "How do you do?"
They're really saying, I...I love you
I hear babies cry and I watch them grow,
They'll learn much more
Than we'll know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world (w)oohoorld

Someday I'll wish upon a star,
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney top that's where you'll find me
Oh, Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
And the dream that you dare to, why, oh why can't I? I hiii ?

Ooooo oooooo oooooo
Ooooo oooooo oooooo
Ooooo oooooo oooooo
Ooooo oooooo oooooo
Ooooo oooooo oooooo
Ooooo oooooo oooooo

Wheel of the World

Carrie Underwood can sing her ass off.
I'm jealous.
She's also got some poignant lyrics. This song makes me realize it is all just a circle and if I can hold on through the lows, there will be some better days around the bend.

I like songs like that, I like believing in the promise of tomorrow.

Wheel Of The World
Love goes out, out like a light
Out like a flame, and you can't find it anymore
Just when you think it's lost in the rain
It comes back knocking at your door

It's the wheel of the world turning around
It's the wheel of the world turning around
And around

God put us here on this carnival ride
We close our eyes
Never knowing where it will take us next
Babies are born and at the same time, someone's taking their last breath

It's the wheel of the world
It's the wheel of the world turning around

In the blink of an eye
It can change your life
And it never even slows down

It's the wheel of the world

I don't know what it is
I'm flying high
Then I'm wondering why I'm sinking on this ship, going down
Life keeps on moving anyway

It's the wheel of the world
It's the wheel of the world turning around
It's the wheel of the world
It's the wheel of the world turning around
It's the wheel of the world turning around
And around
And around
It's the wheel of the world turning around

It can open your heart
It can break you apart
And it never even slows down

It's the wheel of the world turning around
It's the wheel of the world turning around
It's the wheel of the world turning around
It's the wheel of the world turning around
And around

Put Your Hands On Me

There is no substitute for a song that gets you going.

I know I just professed my love for Christina Aguilera and it is sincere. However this young lady has voice that has stirred something inside myself. I feel more alive when her songs are on.

One of which is this song. I have often fantasized about singing certain songs to certain people. Forcing them to hear what I hear.
Currently Joss Stone and her desire to be ravaged, just a bit, is exactly how I feel.

Put Your Hands On Me

I guess I'm picky with love
Well baby I give it up it's you I choose
And don't keep me waiting
This girl's got things she needs to do
Oh if I was blind, you'd help me see

If I lost my mind, you'd find it for me
Speak on it babe tell me what do you need
Because all I need is for you to love me baby

[CHORUS]
Put your hands on me baby
Put your hands on me baby
You got me flipping
Put your hands on me baby
Put your hands on me baby

[VERSE]
Can't stop my mind from thinking of you
How am I supposed to function
Got me feelin' for your lips on my kiss
All night, never want no other lover

Baby I'm hungry
I want and I need
Bring me your sugar
And pour it all over me baby

[CHORUS]
Put your hands on me baby
Put your hands on me baby
You got me flipping
Put your hands on me baby
Put your hands on me baby

[BRIDGE]
Up till now my eyes could see
Touch me once and it's all hazy

I don't know why and I don't know how
But somehow some way you got me

I can't explain can't comprehend the world could reacht its very end and all I focus on is him
The way he moves, he found his groove there's nothing left to do but tell the world the truth
Cause there's no way out
I love him
I feel him
Oh I'm lovin' those hands

[CHORUS]
Put your hands on me baby
You got me flipping
One more time
Put your hands on me baby
Put your hands on me baby
One taste I'm trippin
Just kiss me baby, tell me you're mine
Put your hands on me baby

I wish I had enough guts to sing this to someone but I don't. So I will have to work on my best, "come hither" eyes.

Keeps Gettin' Better

I have this image in my head. It was placed there by a best friend of mine way back in high school.

Let me give you the visual...

There I am, super long brown hair that is a bit dusty and windblown, standing with a simple wife beater and black leather skirt on. Red high heels of course. Tanned skin glistening in the sun. Smoke rising from my uber sexy muscle car behind me. It has left me stranded and gazing under the hood hoping to come to some other conclusion than that I am on the side of a desolate road in the middle of no where, about to lift my thumb or start the long walk with a gas can in hand. Instead. A devilish smile emerges as I turn the music on in the car. It can only be one thing. Christina Aguilera.
And then, the desolate road turns into a busy thoroughfare. Car after car passing by asking if they can help but I refuse, realizing I will be just fine as long as I have her.

Seriously. My best friends told me long ago, they could see me standing on the side of the road just rocking out to XTINA. And I took it as nothing other than a compliment. She is awesome. And this won't be the last time a song of hers is on this here Blog.

For now I give you her most recent.

Keeps Gettin' Better

Step back gonna come at ya fast
I'm driving out of control
And getting ready to crash
Won't stop shaking up what I can
I serve it up in a shot
So suck it down like a man
So baby yes I know what I am
And no I don't give a damn
And you'll be loving it

Some days I'm a super bitch
Up to my old tricks
But it won't last forever
Next day I'm your super girl
Out to save the world
And it keeps getting better

Kiss kiss gonna tell you right now
I'll make it sweet on the lips, I'll simply knock you out
Shut up I don't care what you say
Cuz when we both in the ring you're gonna like it my way
Yeah baby there's a villain in me so sexy sour and sweet
And you'll be loving it

Some days I'm a super bitch
Up to my old tricks
But it won't last forever
Next day I'm your super girl
Out to save the world
And it keeps getting better

Hold on
Keeps getting better
Hold on
Keeps getting better

In the blink of an eye
In the speed of the light
I'll hold the universe up
And make your planets collide
When I strap on my boots
And I slip on my suit
You see the vixen in me
Becomes an angel for you

Some days I'm a super bitch
Up to my old tricks
But it won't last forever
Next day I'm your super girl
Out to save the world
And it keeps getting better

Some days I'm a super bitch
Up to my old tricks
But it won't last forever
Next day I'm your super girl
Out to save the world
And it keeps getting better

Hold on
Keeps getting better
Hold on
Keeps getting better

..she has captured...me. In a very catchy tune. God I love her.

Call Me When You're Sober

This song, besides the sheer greatness of Amy Lee's voice is one I relate to for two reasons.
I am currently dealing with someone who refuses to grow up. Someone who needs to put down all the things in his life that are self destructive. But he can't see it yet. So honestly, I have told him to, call me when he is sober. It's not even that he is a drunk. He just has more lessons to learn. One of them being self control is a good thing. Another being people will help you more when you help yourself.

But I learned a long time ago, you cannot want something for someone. It doesn't change anything.So here I sit, on the sidelines, waiting for my dear brother.

Now the other reason this song relates to me. Karaoke. Laugh go ahead. It's fine, my feelings aren't hurt. BUT Amy Lee Girl or Evanescence Girl would be disappointed I'm sure.Now she is a girl who sounds very similar to the lead singer of this band, who cannot stray her voice away from this exact sound. She drives me up a wall. So another singer at work and I have planned to sing this song one day in front of her. Before she has signed herself up for the myriad of Evanescence songs that are sure to follow. Karaoke doesn't really have rules, but I'm pretty sure when someone sings your song, before you, your ass will not get up there and sing it later. The crowd will surely turn on you.
Haha. Karaoke Wars... I realize how trivial my life seems after I have just explained this.

So at long last here you go...

Call Me When You're Sober
Don't cry to me.
If you loved me,
You would be here with me.
You want me,
Come find me.
Make up your mind.

Should I let you fall?
Lose it all?
So maybe you can remember yourself.
Can't keep believing,
We're only deceiving ourselves .
And I'm sick of the lie,
And you're too late.

Don't cry to me.
If you loved me,
You would be here with me.
You want me,
Come find me.
Make up your mind.

Couldn't take the blame.
Sick with shame.
Must be exhausting to lose your own game.
Selfishly hated,
No wonder you're jaded.
You can't play the victim this time,
And you're too late.

Don't cry to me.
If you loved me,
You would be here with me.
You want me,
Come find me.
Make up your mind.

You never call me when you're sober.
You only want it cause it's over,
It's over.

How could I have burned paradise?
How could I - you were never mine.

So don't cry to me.
If you loved me,
You would be here with me.
Don't lie to me,
Just get your things.
I've made up your mind.

haha karaoke wars. I'm still laughing.

I'm Skipping Spring

This song sends me to another place. Sublime, Jack Johnson,Chili Peppers and a few select others were the anthem of a better place in time. Summers in Dewey Beach. Particularly the first summer when my girls and I were 17/18 years old and this was one of the songs we would all sing out loud as we were getting ready.

I can't wait for the summer to come back! Here I am 24 and still all I can think of are the nights that turn into mornings without the slightest realization of life outside of Dewey.The days that stretch on with only the thought of just how much of tomorrow is going to be spent exactly the same way...

Garden Grove
We took this trip to garden grove
It smelled like lou-dog inside the van, oh yeah
This aint no funky reggae party, $5 at the door
It gets so real sometimes, who wrote my rhyme
I got the microwave, got the vcr
I got the deuce-deuce in the trunk of my car, oh yeah
If you only knew all the love that I found
Its hard to keep my soul on the ground
Youre a fool, dont fuck around with my dog
All that I can see I steal, I fill up my garage
Cause in my mind
Music from jamaica, all the love that I found
Pull over theres a reason why my souls unsound
Its you
Its that shit stuck under my shoe
Its that smell inside the van
Its my bed sheet covered with sand
Sitting through a shitty band
Getting dog shit on my hands
Getting hassled by the man
Waking up to an alarm
Sticking needles in your arm
Picking up trash on a freeway
Feeling depressed everyday
Leaving without making a sound
Picking my dog up at the pound
Living in a tweeker pad
Getting yelled at by my dad
Saying Im happy when Im not
Finding roaches in the pot
All these things I do
Theyre waiting for you.

So if you've got a hideaway spot this song is for you.
If not, I will gladly share Dewey Beach, Delaware with you.

I'm Not a Princess..

This one has been playfully dancing around in my head for weeks. I don't much care for the singer, Miss Taylor Swift. But I find it hard to refute this very idea of being the girl who believes in fairy tales, but will never see one play out for her.
Ahh such is life...

White Horse

Say you're sorry
That face of an angel comes out
Just when you need it to
As I pace back and forth all this time
'Cause
I honestly believed in you
Holdin' on,
The days drag on
Stupid girl
I should have known, I should have known

That I'm not a princess
This ain't a fairytale
I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet
Lead her up the stairwell
This ain't Hollywood,
This is a small town
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down
Now its too late for you and your White Horse,
To come around.

Maybe I was naïve,
Got lost in your eyes
I never really had a chance.
My mistake, I didn't know to be in love you had to fight to have the upperhand.
I had so many dreams about you and me.
Happy endings;
Now I know

I'm not a princess
This ain't a fairytale
I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet
Lead her up the stairwell
This ain't Hollywood,
This is a small town
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down.
Now its too late for you and your White Horse,
To come around.

And there you are on your knees
Begging for forgiveness,
Begging for me
Just like I always wanted,
But I'm so sorry

Cause Im not your princess
This aint a fairytale
Im gonna find someone, Some day
Who might actually treat me well.
This is a big world,
That was a small town
There in my rearview mirror,
Disappearing now.
And it's too late for you and your White Horse,
Now its too late for you and your White Horse
To catch me now.

Oh whoa whoa whoa-oh
Try and catch me now
Whoa-Oh
It's too late
To catch me now.

Not that I'd even know what to do with Prince Charming if he did show up at my front door.

I'm On a Boat

Episode One:
I'm on a boat.

This weekend we will be celebrating the day of my birth at my parents house. This day already passed BTW, it was the 8th. Thank you it was a happy birthday indeed. Unless you read my other blog.
Anyway. I will be on a boat.And my friend LP likes to think this is exactly how the weekend will go. I assure it will not. So for you all... here are the lyrics to,

I'm on a boat.

Aww shit
Get your towels ready
It’s about to go down (shorty, yeah)
Everybody in the place hit the fucking deck (shorty, yeah)
But stay on your motherfucking toes
We running this, let’s go
I’m on a boat (I’m on a boat)
I’m on a boat (I’m on a boat)
Everybody look at me
‘Cause I’m sailing on a boat (sailing on a boat)
I’m on a boat (I’m on a boat)
I’m on a boat
Take a good hard look at the motherfucker boat
(boat, yeah)

I’m on a boat motherfucker take a look at me
Straight flowing on a boat on the deep blue sea
Busting five knots, wind whipping out my coat
You can’t stop me motherfucker cause I’m on a boat
Take a picture, trick (trick)
I’m on a boat, bitch (bitch)
We drinking Santana champ,
Cause it’s so crisp (crisp)
I got my swim trunks
And my flippie-floppies
I’m flipping burgers, you at Kinko’s
Straight flipping copies

I’m riding on a dolphin, doing flips and shit
The dolphin’s splashing, getting everybody all wet
But this ain’t Seaworld, this is real as it gets
I’m on a boat, motherfucker, don’t you ever forget
I’m on a boat and
It’s going fast and
I got a nautical themed
Pashmina afghan
I’m the king of the world
On a boat like Leo
If you’re on the shore,
Then you’re sure not me-oh

Get the fuck up, this boat is REAL!!!
Fuck land, I’m on a boat, motherfucker (motherfucker)
Fuck trees, I climb buoys, motherfucker(motherfucker)
I’m on the deck with my boys, motherfucker (yeah)
This boat engine make noise, motherfucker
Hey ma, if you could see me now (see me now)
Arms spread wide on the starboard bow (starboard bow)
Gonna fly this boat to the moon somehow (moon somehow)
Like Kevin Garnett, anything is possible

Yeah, never thought I’d be on a boat
It’s a big blue watery road (yeah)
Poseidon
Look at me, oh (all hands on deck)
Never thought I’d see the day
When a big boat coming my way
Believe me when I say
I fuck a mermaid

I’m on a boat
I’m on a boat
Everybody look at me
’cause I’m sailing on a boat (woaah)
I’m on a boat
I’m on a boat
Take a good hard look at the mothafucking boat (sha-sha-shorty, shorty, yeah)

And here is the video for it. So you can see just how awesome my life isn't.


You're Welcome.

LyricaLife Intro...

Welcome to my new blog baby!

I am a very musically inclined person. I will not try to fool you into thinking that that means I am talented at any sort of musical instrument or anything to do with music. I was taking guitar lessons, until my guitar teacher hit on me, now I stare at my guitar and wish is to make beautiful music when I strum it. (It has yet to succumb to my wishes FYI)

I just like music a lot. As I know many people do.

I am not all artsy and shit. I don't like a lot of things to do with music. Like when people scream a lot. Or when people complain a lot. Or when "singers" don't or can't sing live.Ever.
I listen to it as often as possible. I probably like pop music way too much. I have a love for the classics. But they are my classics, not necessarily your classics.

I grew up playing the flute, until an awful wretched teacher told me I would never amount to anything much less a great flutist. If there is such a thing. She told me my hands were too small and I should just quit.

So I did. Luckily keyboards are not as hard to deal with, with my midget hands and all. So I am translating music into keystrokes.

Here is where I plan on showing you just how my life relates to the music that is made. I literally translate my life into lyrics sometimes. I hear tunes or melodies while running down the street. I write lyrics when I see two people walking hand in hand. It's just a part of my everyday life.
I have strong ties with certain songs, certain artists and I am a loyal listener. I recently discovered my love for karaoke. No not other people singing. Me. I have found my voice.

And that is why this little gem was created. Songs race through my mind. I hear them and I think of things. And that is where Lyrical Life comes in.


But enough about me.
Let's get to the music...
