Matchbox 20 - If You're Gone

On a Tuesday Morning, like any other morning I woke up to this recommendation for me by YouTube. A welcome surprise if ones thought suddenly appear amidst the clouds of nothingness in the form which probably is the only thing which still keeps me human. A awesomely amazing presentation of a beautifully worded song.

I think I've already lost you
I think you're already gone
I think I'm finally scared now
You think I'm weak - but I think you're wrong
I think you're already leaving
Feels like your hand is on the door
I thought this place was an empire
But now I'm relaxed - I can't be sure

I think you're so mean - I think we should try
I think I could need - this in my life
I think I'm just scared - I think too much
I know this is wrong it's a problem I'm dealing

If you're gone - maybe it's time to go home
There's an awful lot of breathing room
But I can hardly move
If you're gone - baby you need to come home
Cuz there's a little bit of something me
In everything in you

I bet you're hard to get over
I bet the room just won't shine
I bet my hands I can stay here
I bet you need - more than you mind

I think you're so mean - I think we should try
I think I could need - this in my life
I think I'm just scared - that I know too much
I can't relate and that's a problem I'm feeling

If you're gone - maybe it's time to go home
There's an awful lot of breathing room
But I can hardly move
If you're gone - baby you need to come home
Cuz there's a little bit of something me
In everything in you

I think you're so mean - I think we should try
I think I could need - this in my life
I think I'm just scared - do I talk too much
I know this is wrong it's a problem I'm dealing

If you're gone - maybe it's time to go home
There's an awful lot of breathing room
But I can hardly move
If you're gone - baby you need to come home
Cuz there's a little bit of something me
In everything in you

Billy Joel : River of Dreams

Strange thoughts float around me when I am mostly useless everywhere. Depressing howsoever it may be, suddenly from somewhere a flicker of desperate hope and joy makes me drift towards the music making the feet of my mind tap to the tune. Savoring that small moment with meaningful words and hopeful dreams.

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
From the mountains of faith
To the river so deep
I must be lookin' for something
Something sacred I lost
But the river is wide
And it's too hard to cross
even though I know the river is wide
I walk down every evening and stand on the shore
I try to cross to the opposite side
So I can finally find what I've been looking for
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the valley of fear
To a river so deep
I've been searching for something
Taken out of my soul
Something I'd never lose
Something somebody stole
I don't know why I go walking at night
But now I'm tired and I don't want to walk anymore
I hope it doesn't take the rest of my life
Until I find what it is I've been looking for
(Three beat Pause)
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the jungle of doubt
To the river so deep
I know I'm searching for something
Something so undefined
That it can only be seen
By the eyes of the blind
In the middle of the night (break)

I’m not sure about a life after this
God knows I've never been a spiritual man
Baptized by the fire, I wade into the river
That is runnin' through the promised land (Long Five beat Pause)

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the desert of truth
To the river so deep
We all end in the ocean
We all start in the streams
We're all carried along
By the river of dreams
In the middle of the night

Chris Daughtry : What About Now

Was listening to Danyl Johnson first audition in X factor. This song came at the end and was impressed, only to dig deeper to find it even more impressive. Meaningful and powerful lyrics in context of the video and equally beautiful without the context. Some of the other versions of the song are equally joyous.

Shadows fill an empty heart
As love is fading,
From all the things that we are
But are not saying.
Can we see beyond the scars
And make it to the dawn?

Change the colors of the sky.
And open up to
The ways you made me feel alive,
The ways I loved you.
For all the things that never died,
To make it through the night,
Love will find you.

What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
What about now?

The sun is breaking in your eyes
To start a new day.
This broken heart can still survive
With a touch of your grace.
Shadows fade into the light.
I am by your side,
Where love will find you.

What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love had never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
What about now?

Now that we're here,
Now that we've come this far,
Just hold on.
There is nothing to fear,
For I am right beside you.
For all my life,
I am yours.

What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love had never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?

What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love had never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
Baby, before it's too late,
Baby, before it's too late,
What about now?

A Song which Misses

Don't know how much censorship should I apply..
Presuming I need not..
I wrote this ode..
As a poet who has a song which misses..
The beauty of thy presence..
The heightened sense of freedom in thy spirit..

Danyl Johnson - And I am telling you I'm not going - Jennifer Holliday

Hats off to Danyl Johnson for making this song his own. Amazing song and amazing performance. This guys pulls it off week after week in x factor 2009.

And I am telling you I'm not going
You're the best man I'll ever know
There's no way I can ever go
No no no, no way
No no no, no way I'm living without you
I'm not living without you
I don't want to be free
I'm staying, I'm staying
And you, and you, you're gonna love me
You're gonna love me

And I am telling you I'm not going
Even though the rough times are showing
There's just no way, there's no way
We're part of the same place
We're part of the same time
We both share the same blood
We both have the same mind
And time and time, we have so much to share
No no no, no no no
I'm not waking up tomorrow morning
And finding that there's nobody there
Darling, there's no way,
No no no, no way I'm living without you
I'm not living without you
You see, there's just no way
There's no way

Tear down the mountains,
Yell, scream and shout
And you can say what you want
I'm not walking out
Stop all the rivers,
Push, strike, and kill
I'm not gonna leave you
There's no way I will

And I am telling you I'm not going
You're the best man I'll ever know
There's no way I can ever ever go
No no no, no way
No no no, no way I'm living without you
Oh, I'm not living without you,
Not living without you
I don't wanna be free
I'm staying, I'm staying
And you, and you, and you, you're gonna love me
Ohhh, hey hey, you're gonna love me,
Yes, ah ooh ooh, love me,
Ooh-ooh-ooh, love me

Love me
Love me
Love me
Love me
You're gonna love me

Amateurishness

Wondering how much does my ode has any effect..
Chuckle at the level of amateurishness of my writing..
Still I carry on...
Wishing the serenity..
To the hard work you do everyday..
Oblivious to your physical requirement.
Eat well..

I ask Again

Yesterday when I asked ..
I did not know why..
But have to ask you again..
With the right reason in my mind..
Although your answer may remain the same..
But I need to tell what is in my mind..
The past we have with each other..
We had good times as well as times of trial..
We are two different people..
Following different paths in professional life..
But deep inside we know the paths do converge..
Deep down inside we are the same..
Wanting the same thing..
The paths which converge..
Creates a love song by a love struck singer..
A divine poem by a innocent poet..
The greatest artwork existing in life..
In the journey we have undertaken..
We will meet plenty of good people as well as bad..
But I will be happy for you for meeting the good..
And share your sorrow of the bad..
For the place you want to be..
I will always be there, to be with you..
Giving you the support required..
If none then I will just be there at your beside..
So that you look behind and see me and realize..
There is someone who is, and will be always proud of you..
For whatever time we have been with each other...
U know as well as I..
That we are connected...
By the thread of piousness..
Unblemished in its Godliness...
In the possible funny scenario of being given no answer twice in two days..
But taking a step at a time..
I ask you again will you be more than what we are..

Hyperlink Search

Plenty times on writing something I feel the need to hyperlink but then I have to do a search in other tab and hyperlink. Wouldn't it be nice to have the facility of hyperlink search at the time addition itself in the same page in the same process.

Or is there a tool already present ??
