Ok,I really didn't cheat on this and some of the songs that came up are pretty astounding. For example the song Angel (which everyone should hear.http://ellis-music.com/music/ It's available on iTunes if you don't want to buy the whole Everything That's Real CD. The version recorded with her old band, Bobbi Lama is excellent too). The lyrics go like this:
there are times when i don’t feel strong
like life is pulling me along
and i am hanging on by a thread
in times like this, in times of need
i feel there is no one but me
i like to see how untrue that is
i need a little company
if by chance i find the right words tonight
if i let everything go would you sit and watch me cry
i need a little company
i need a little company
all i need is a pat on the back
a little comfort
is that too much to ask
or am i left to fall
are you there to catch me…
angel come down and be with me
right this moment i am in need
i’ve gotta find some sense of security
please angel come sit close to me
if i let everything go
would you sit and watch me cry
i feel lost and I’m trying to move forward
and i, i feel lost and i’m trying to move forward
and i know this path is for me to figure out
but i, i feel lost, and i'm trying to move forward
angel come down and be with me
right this moment i am in need
i’ve gotta find some sense of security
please angel come sit close to me
angel come down and be with me
right this moment i am in need
i’ve gotta find some sense of security
I just listened to that one through. Now i'm listening to "Oh My Dear Child"
oh my dear child
don’t you let them tear you down
you got so much history that will carry you around
remember that blue ocean
in the back of your view
that big body of motion
is there to hold onto
oh my dear child
you got something special, something real
you got to take care now child
make sure you give yourself time to heal
i know it’s not easy
and it will never be easy
but you've got so much energy
you are sensitive but you are tough
make sure you’re not too eager
make sure that you are free
you've got all the time in the world
so take it easy
oh my dear child
all this weight you carry around
if you would just let it go
your whole world won’t come crashin’ down
there will be many people
that will want a piece of you
you've got to take care now child
make sure you know what is and is not true
make sure you’re not too eager
make sure that you are free
you've got all the time in the world
so take it easy
I've been surfing and kind of writing this open letter to the Universe in my head. I'm needing a little help right now. I'm struggling with my weight and my wait. Hormones too. And the moon. I've been very teary. Very frustrated.
I guess the Universe read my mind and messed with my iTunes for me.
thanks out there...
