"Every breath"
Boyce avenue

The weightlessness and the lack of rest
away from you, im in over my head
Even when it's dark before the dawn
I will feel your grace and carry on
And with every breath of me, you'll be the only light I see

When I needed a place to hang my heart
You were there to wear it from the start
And with every breath of me, you'll be the only light I see

Even when it's dark before the dawn
I will feel your grace and carry on
And with every breath of me, you'll be the only light I see
The only light I see.

Sometimes sitting in the dark
Wishing you were here
Turns me crazy,
But it's you who makes me lose my head.

~ Crazy for You , Adele

Gym Class Heroes Ft. Neon Hitch

The chorus:
I don’t know, where you’re going
Or when you’re coming home
I left the keys under the mat to our front door
For one more chance to hold you closer
I don’t know, where you’re going
Just get your ass back home

It applies to me. My life, my girlfriend, my career. Everytime I hear it, I can see my g/f singing it to me. On the Ambulance, I never know where I am going next, when I will be getting off duty and she understands this. Although when she tells me "just get your ass back home" she usually adds "safely" to it!

Pussycat Dolls "stickwitu"

Because I know I could never love anyone more than my fiancee. I will stick with him forever.

"Strange Fruit" Billie Holiday

So, being a music student and a music nut, not just one lyric stands out to me...my following choices all have some relation to me personally but I'm not in a position to tell.


"But you didn't have to cut me off, make out like it never happened and that we were nothing" - Somebody That I Used To Know - Gotye


"When the skies are grey and all the doors are closing, and the rising pressure makes it hard to breathe, all I need is a helping hand to stop the tears from falling, I will find him will find him next to me." - Next To Me - Emeli Sande


"I can't buy your love, don't even wanna try. Sometimes the truth won't make you happy, so I'm not gonna lie. But don't ever question if my heart beats only for you, it beats only for you.
I know I'm far from perfect, nothin' like your entourage I can't grant you any wishes, I won't promise you the stars. But don't ever question if my heart beats only for you, it beats only for you." - My Kind Of Love - Emeli Sande


"I wish it were simple, but we give up easily. You're close enough to see that you're.... the other side of the world to me." - Other Side Of The World - KT Tunstall


And finally, there is an episode of West Wing which features Dire Straits' Brothers In Arms, and that setting of the song alone had me. If you can find this, watch it, it won't have the same thing for you as me, but it works.

I want you between me and the feeling I get when I miss you

"We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
Cuz we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow"

"I'll be" Reba Mcentire


When darkness falls upon your heart and soul
I'll be the light that shines for you
When you forget how beautiful you are
I'll be there to remind you.
When you can't find your way,
I'll find my way to you.
When troubles come around,
I will come to you.

I'll be your shoulder
When you need someone to lean on.
Be your shelter.
When you need someone to see you through.
I'll be there to carry you.
I'll be there.
I'll be the rock that will be strong for you.
The one that will hold on to you.
When you feel that rain falling down.
When there's nobody else around.
I'll be.

And when you're there with no one there to hold.
I'll be the arms that reach for you.
And when you feel your faith is running low.
I'll be there to believe in you.
When all you find are lies
I'll be the truth you need
When you need someone to run to
You can run to me

I'll be your shoulder
When you need someone to lean on.
Be your shelter
When you need someone to see you through
I'll be there to carry you.
I'll be there.
I'll be the rock that will be strong for you.
The one that will hold on to you.
When you feel that rain falling down.
When there's nobody else around.
I'll be.

I'll be the sun
When your heart's filled with rain.
I'll be the one
To chase the rain away.

I'll be your shoulder
When you need someone to lean on.
Be your shelter
When you need someone to see you through
I'll be there to carry you.
I'll be there.
I'll be the rock that will be strong for you.
The one that will hold on to you.
When you feel that rain falling down.
When there's nobody else around.
I'll be.
I'll be.

So what if it hurts me?
So what if I break down?
So what if this world just throws me off the edge
My feet run out of ground
I gotta find my place
I wanna hear my sound
Don't care about all the pain in front of me
Cause i'm just trying to be happy

leona lewis - happy xx

Someone falls to pieces
Sleeping all alone
Someone kills the pain
Spinning in the silence
She finally drifts away
Someone gets excited
In a chapel yard
Catches a bouquet
Another lays a dozen
White roses on a grave
And be yourself is all that you can do

Be Yourself-Audioslave

Bon Jovi
Bed of Roses.

Tonight i won't be alone
but that don't mean i'm not lonely

But you swear blind there is no weight in the water pail.
You say "My love, you take the cards that you're dealt.
Cause there's no guiding light arching a line to Bethlehem.
If it's dark outside you light the fire yourself."


Cause we've been through worse than this before we could talk.
The trick of it is, don't be afraid any more.

Bible belt by Dry the River

Roll On By Alabama

These five stanza's stand out most to me

Well it's Wednesday evening
Mamma's waitin' by the phone
It rings but it's not his voice
Seems the highway patrol
Has found a jackknifed rig
In a snow bank in Illinois

But the driver was missin'
And the search had been abandoned
'Cause the weather had everything strong
And they had checked all the houses
And the local motels
When they had some more news they'd call
And she told them when they found him
To tell him that she loved him
And she hung up the phone singin'

Roll on highway, roll on along
Roll on daddy till you get back home
Roll on family, roll on crew
Roll on momma like I asked you to do
And roll on eighteen-wheeler roll on

Momma and the children
Will be waiting up all night long
Thinkin' nothing but the words just comin'
With the ringin' of the telephone

Oh, but the Man upstairs was listening
When momma asked Him to bring daddy home
And when the call came in it was daddy on the other end
Askin' her if she had been singin' the song, singin'

And now for something completely different....

Such shall, as mighty patterns stand
To princes yet unborn,
To honour prompt each distant land
And future times adorn.

From Handel's oratorio masterpiece Solomon written in 1748. The Levite who sings these lines is talking about the achievements of King Solomon but the words could also refer to Handel's music which is indeed a 'mighty pattern' and has delighted princes and everyone else since it was composed in the mid 18th century, adorning future times and doing honour to distant lands.

You walked into my house last night
I couldn't help but notice
A light that was long gone
Still burning strong
You were sitting
Your fingers like fuses
Your eyes were cinnamon

-Beth Orton, "Stolen Car" (the video is available in my video gallery if anyone is interested. Ben Harper plays slide on it...freakin' incredible.)
