songs

these are two prime reasons why songs have such an effect on people. when they resonate and have such a connection.
worth repeating over and over again

the heart of the matter - don henley

I got the call today, I didnt wanna hear, 

But I knew that it would come
An old, true friend of ours was talkin on the phone, 

She said you'd found someone
And I thought of all the bad luck and the struggles we went through
And how I lost me and you lost you
What are these voices outside loves open door

Make us throw off our contentment
And beg for something more?

I'm learning to live without you now, But I miss you sometimes
The more I know, the less I understand

All the things I thought I knew, Im learning again

I've been tryin to get down, To the heart of the matter
But my will gets weak, And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think its about forgiveness, Forgiveness
Even if, even if you dont love me anymore

These times are so uncertain, Theres a yearning undefined

And people filled with rage, We all need a little tenderness

How can love survive in such a graceless age?
The trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness

They're the very things - we kill I guess
Pride and competition, Cannot fill these empty arms
And the work I put between us, You know it doesnt keep me warm

I'm learning to live without you now, But I miss you, baby
And the more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought Id figured out, I have to learn again

Ive been trying to get down, To the heart of the matter
But everything changes, And my friends seem to scatter
But I think its about forgiveness, Forgiveness
Even if, even if you dont love me anymore

There are people in your life who've come and gone

They let you down you know they hurt your pride
You better put it all behind you baby; life goes on

You keep carryin that anger; itll eat you up inside, baby


through the barricades - spandau ballet

Mother doesn't know where love has gone
She says it must be youth That keeps us feeling strong
I See it in her face, that's turned to ice
And when she smiles she shows The lines of sacrifice

And now I know what they're saying, As our sun begins to fade
And we made our love on wasteland, And through the barricades

Father made my history
He fought for what he thought, Would set us somehow free
He taught me what to say in school
I learned it off by heart, But now that's torn in two

And now I know what they're saying, In the music of the parade
And We made our love on wasteland, And through the barricades

Born on different sides of life
We feel the same And feel all of this strife
So come to me when I'm asleep
We'll cross the lines And dance upon the streets

And now I know what they're saying As the drums begin to fade
We made our love on wasteland And through the barricades

Oh, turn around and I'll be there
Well There's a scar right through my heart But I'll bare it again
Oh I thought we were the human race
But we were just another border-line-case
And the stars reach out and tell us That there's always one escape
I don't know where love has gone
And in this troubled land Desperation keep us strong
Fridays child is full of soul
With nothing left to lose There's everything to go

And now I know what they're saying It's a terrible beauty we've made
So we make our love on wasteland And through the barricades
Now I know what they're are saying as our hearts go to their graves
we made our love on wasteland Oh oh oh through the barricades.
