Music: Peace Train

Perhaps the world needs a little bit of this?

SHARE and enjoy.

Now I've been happy lately
Thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be
Something good has begun
I've been smiling lately
Dreaming about the world as one
And I believe it could be
Something good's bound to come

For out on the edge of darkness
There runs the peace train
Peace train take this country
Come take me home again

Peace train sounding louder
Ride on the peace train
Hoo-ah-eeh-ah-hoo-ah
Come on the peace train
Peace train's a holy roller
Everyone jump upon the peace train
Hoo-ah-eeh-ah-hoo-ah
This is the peace train

Get your bags together
Come bring your good friends too
Because it's getting nearer
Soon it will be with you
Come and join the living
It's not so far from you
And it's getting nearer
Soon it will all be true

Peace train sounding louder
Ride on the peace train
Hoo-ah-eeh-ah-hoo-ah
Come on the peace train

I've been crying lately
Thinking about the world as it is
Why must we go on hating?
Why can't we live in bliss?

For out on the edge of darkness
There rides the peace train
Peace train take this country
Come take me home again

Peace train sounding louder
Ride on the peace train
Hoo-ah-eeh-ah-hoo-ah
Come on the peace train

Come on, come on, come on the peace train

Bleachers: I trace the faith to a broken down television and put on the weather...

When we were driving home on Sunday, we decided to listen to a bit of radio and tuned into 89X's - Skratch and Sniff segment.

I was hooked when I heard this one. I just looked it up on Youtube and the song is called I Wanna Get Better by Bleachers, released in Feb. 2014 . I would say the video is pretty intense, but what a great song!

I Wanna Get Better.

Seriously obsessed with this song. I've been playing it on repeat ALL DAY.

2-Year Anniversary

Lyrical Expressions

****

Looking from a window above

It’s like a story of love

Can you hear me?

Listen to some music, maybe just talking

Get to know you better

Wise men say, only fools rush in

I know that we can be so amazing

And being in your life is gonna change me

I’ll take my chances, I forgot how nice romance is

I think I know why the dog howls at the moon

So save the last dance for me

Say good-bye to not knowing how to cry

You taught me that

The telephone call that tied up the line for hours and hours

Wouldn’t you agree?

Baby you and me, got a groovy kind love

She will listen to me when I want to speak

About the world we live in and life in general

She could dance all night and shake the paint off the walls

You stand by me

I’m forever yours

Faithfully

Darling come here

Slide on down beside me baby

I wanna feel your ecstasy

Aiming fingers searching secret pleasures

Roaming where your river seems so deep

I never thought tonight could ever be this close to me

My life is simple like the wrinkles on my skin

Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe yes to love you

Truths you find through your adversities will defend you

As your powers and all your energies conspire to carry you

I’m going to smile because I deserve to

It will all get better in time

I see my future in an instant

And there it goes

I think I've found my best friend

Words are all I have to take your heart away

He kissed me in a way that I've never been kissed before

He kissed me in a way that I wanna be kissed forever more

Now I think it's kinda funny that you say you love me

You tell me that I'm crazy then you smile

God only knows what I’d be without you 

****

I hope you don’t mind that I put down in words,

How wonderful life is, 

Now you’re in the world. 

Happy 2 year Anniversary, I love you!

I was truly inspired by many artists/bands to create something personal that would remind us of all the memories we have shared together for the last 2 years and counting.

Music: VNV Nation

There are many reasons why I love VNV Nation and why they remain so close to my heart. Their music and lyrics touch me in such emotional and spiritual ways. Seeing them at St. Andrew's in 2007 brought an overwhelming sense of clarity, happiness and of course faith. I need that feeling now.

I realize no matter what, time does not stop. It doesn't stop for heartache, or anger, confusion, or even sickness. It doesn't care about the trivial things or the most important, it just continues on as it always has, and never stops.


VNV Nation - Endless Skies
How many years since you found yourself
Staring at an endless sky?

Unaware of yourself
Who you are and where you're going
Only living
Only breathing
Losing all sense of time

The most fragile of things
Captivates and embraces you
Surrender and be witness
To this rarest of moments

You live within the sense of the order of things
What is truth
What is important
What defines you

No need to fear
No need to worry
About years that passed
About time you lost

Live seconds as a lifetime
Time it does not matter
You live within the sense
Of the stillness of time
