lyric(s)

probably my greatest love of words is in lyrics. i cannot live without music. i am usually more drawn to a song because of its words than its sound first. sometimes just a single line will catch me and immediately affect me in a very profound way. and only later when i really read through the lyrics do i see how much it relates to my life. yet it seems i find the songs (or they find me...) before the moment arrives. so when it arrives there is already a song that plays in my head to the moment.


here are some favorites. if i had followers they might share theirs too...

and one that i think is worthy of posting for the intent of this blog...
Say, John Mayer

Take all of your wasted honor
Every little past frustration
Take all of your so-called problems,
Better put 'em in quotations
Say what you need to say [x8]
Walking like a one man army
Fighting with the shadows in your head
Living out the same old moment
Knowing you'd be better off instead,
If you could only . . .
Say what you need to say [x8]
Have no fear for giving in
Have no fear for giving over
You'd better know that in the end
Its better to say too much
Then never say what you need to say again
Even if your hands are shaking
And your faith is broken
Even as the eyes are closing
Do it with a heart wide open
Say what you need to say [x24]

Open dictionary was funny again today:


scoochie over (verb) : A phrase used to tell someone to move aside in a friendly manner, as when they are in a line squished together or if someone wants to open a space to sit down.
Scoochie over I would like to sit next to you, open some space.
