Let It Be Me
Aurgh! I am all wide awake when I shouldn't be - as usual, since my man is doing that obnoxious snoring garbage I can't stand (see related community posts on sleep apnea).
That, and also these two songs keep catapulting into my head every time I see or hear anything about all the hurricane damage, etc... Fortunately these songs contain lyrics of hope, and not devastation. "Let It Be" - by the Beatles, and "Let It Rain" - by Tracy Chapman. Why both songs start with "Let" are purely coincidental - I think. Are there such things as coincidences? Is it part of Karmic Law? Or is this all just and fine and all part of an elaborate plan? These questions and more! Answered in... some other blog - or some other life. Whatever. Damn ADD and sleep depravation.
Anyways, back to the songs stuck in my head. I guess I've always loved both of these songs, especially when I feel very scared or lonely. These two songs always grasp the vocals of my subconscious 'till I'm humming along aloud, and always brings a little smitten of cheer to my otherwise grey poopus snarl of a brain at the time. I suppose both these songs could be themes for the Red Cross and Hurricane Relief.
"Let It Be" - The Beatles
When I find myself in times of trouble, mother Mary comes to me,
speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me,
speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.
And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree,
there will be an answer, let it be.
For though they may be parted there is still a chance that they will see,
there will be an answer. let it be.
Let it be, let it be, .....
And when the night is cloudy, there is still a light, that shines on me,
shine until tomorrow, let it be.
I wake up to the sound of music, mother Mary comes to me,
speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be, .....
"Let It Rain" - Tracy Chapman
Let it rain
As I walk these streets unknown
To no one named
Not even myself
When I'm low
Give me hope
That help is coming
When I need it most
Give me hope
That help is coming
When I need it most
Let it go
No mother no father no home
Forget as all others
Have forgotten
When I'm alone
But give me hope
That help is coming
When I need it most
Give me hope
That help is coming
When I need it most
Let it come
Love that lifts me up
Pain that brings me down
Everything I'd ever want and don't
When I'm not strong
But give me hope
That help is coming
When I need it most
Give me hope
That help is coming
When I need it most
Let it rain
Let it flood these streets and wash me away
To where it makes no difference who I am
Or what the future holds
When I don't know
But give me hope
That help is coming
When I need it most
Give me hope
That help is coming
When I need it most
