First thing I remember was asking papa why

For there were many things I didn’t know.

And daddy always smiled and took me by the hand

Saying someday you’ll understand.

Well I’m here to tell you now each and every mother’s son

That you better learn it fast you better learn it young

‘Cause someday never comes.

Well time and tears went by and I collected dust.

For there were many things I didn’t know.

When daddy went away, he said, try to be a man,

And someday you’ll understand.

Well I’m here to tell you now each and every mother’s son

That you better learn it fast you better learn it young

‘Cause someday never comes.

And then one day in April, I wasn’t even there,

For there were many things I didn’t know.

A son was born to me. Mama held his hand,

sayin’ someday you’ll understand.

Well I’m here to tell you now each and every mother’s son

That you better learn it fast you better learn it young

‘Cause someday never comes.

Think it was September, the year I went away,

For there were many things I didn’t know.

And still I see him standing tryin’ to be a man,

I said, someday you’ll understand.

Well, I’m here to tell you now, each and every mother’s son,

That you better learn it fast, you better learn it young,

‘Cause someday never comes.

– Credence Clearwater Revival

Hearts are worn in these dark ages

You’re not alone in this story’s pages

The light has fallen amongst the living and the dying

And I’ll try to hold it in, yeah I’ll try to hold it in

The world’s on fire and

It’s more than I can handle

I’ll tap into the water

(Try and bring my share)

I try to bring more

More than I can handle

(Bring it to the table)

Bring what I am able

I watch the heavens but I find no calling

Something I can do to change what’s coming

Stay close to me while the sky is falling

Don’t wanna be left alone, don’t wanna be alone

Hearts break, hearts mend

Love still hurts

Visions clash, planes crash

Still there’s talk of

Saving souls, still the cold

Is closing in on us

We part the veil on our killer sun

Stray from the straight line on this short run

The more we take, the less we become

A fortune of one that means less for some

– Sarah McLachlan – World on Fire

My iPod tells me this morning that it has 18.5GB of content – comprising some 3,331 songs.

Woot!

So long ago
Certain time
Certain place
Tyou touched my hand
All the way
All the way down to emmiline
But if our paths never cross
Well you know I’m sorry but
If I live to see the seven wonders
I’ll make a path to the rainbow’s end
I’ll never live to match the beauty again
The rainbow’s end

So it’s hard to find
Someone with that kind of intensity
You touched my hand I played it cool
And you reached out your hand for me
But if our paths never cross
Well you know I’m sorry but
If I live to see the seven wonders
I’ll make a path to the rainbow’s end
I’ll never live to match the beauty again
The rainbow’s end

– Fleetwood Mac, Seven Wonders

Nobody on the road
Nobody on the beach
I feel it in the air
The summer’s out of reach
Empty lake, empty streets
The sun goes down alone
I’m drivin’ by your house
Though I know you’re not at home

I can see you-
Your brown skin shinin’ in the sun
You got that hair slicked back and those Wayfarers on, baby
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone

– The Ataris, The Boys of Summer

Heaven bend to take my hand
And lead me through the fire
Be the long awaited answer
To a long and painful fight

– Fallen, Sarah McLachlan

over Mountains
over Trees
over Oceans
over Seas
across the desert
I’ll be there

Just think of me,
And I’ll be there

– Escape Club, I’ll be There
