<3 Music

Takin a break from my jam packed Friday for a music moment. I just heard a song that I have to post the lyrics to. It is pretty darn good and it would have been even more applicable a couple of months ago. It turns out it is by the same artist who sang the song B had me listen to on her iPod a few weeks ago. That one is completely currently applicable and heck I guess I aughta put those lyrics on here to. So first up, just heard this song a few minutes ago:

Joshua Radin : Brand New Day

Some kind of magic
Happens late at night
When the moon smiles down on me
And bathes me in it’s light

I fell asleep beneath you
In the tall blades of grass
When I woke the world was new
I never had to ask

It’s a brand new day
The sun is shining
It’s a brand new day
For the first time
In such a long long time
I know
I’ll be ok

Most kind of stories
Save the best part for last
Most stories have a hero who finds
You make your past your past
Ya you make your past your past

It’s a brand new day
The sun is shinning
It’s a brand new day
For the first time
In such a long long time
I know
I’ll be ok

This cycle never ends
Gotta fall in order to mend

And it’s a brand new day
It’s a brand new day
For the first time
Inn such a long long time
I know
I’ll be ok

And this is the song B played for me:

Joshua Radin : I'd Rather Be With You

Sitting here, on this lonely dock
Watch the rain play on the ocean top
All the things I feel I need to say
I can't explain in any other way

I need to be bold
Need to jump in the cold water
Need to grow older with a girl like you
Finally see you are naturally
The one to make it so easy
When you show me the truth
Yeah, I'd rather be with you
Say you want the same thing too

Now here's the sun, come to dry the rain
Warm my shoulders and relieve my pain
You're the one thing that I'm missing here
With you beside me I no longer fear

I need to be bold
Need to jump in the cold water
Need to grow older with a girl like you
Finally see you are naturally
The one to make it so easy
When you show me the truth
Yeah, I'd rather be with you
Say you want the same thing too

I could have saved so much time for us
Had I seen the way to get to where I am today
You waited on me for so long
So now, listen to me say:

I need to be bold
Need to jump in the cold water
Need to grow older with a girl like you
Finally see you are naturally
The one to make it so easy
When you show me the truth
Yeah, I'd rather be with you
Say you want the same thing too
Say you feel the way I do

The great thing about both songs? I know I'll be OK and I do feel the way she feels. I highly recommend listening to them. And while you're at it, these too:

Amos Lee - Arms of A Woman
Ray LaMontagne - Roses And Cigarettes; You Are The Best Thing; Hey Me, Hey Mama
Ray Charles & Van Morrison - Crazy Love
Ingrid Michaelson - Breakable
UB40 - Bring Me Your Cup

I guess that's enough sappy love songs for one post, better get back to "work".
