Earth Song by Michael Jackson

I was supposed to post this yesterday, oops. I used to own this double album and I listened to it all the time. Anyone who grew up in this era knew most of these songs but this song was new on this album and it grew on me as well. If I remember correctly, the first disc was a greatest hits compilation and the second disc was new stuff. Most of the 1st album is on my playlist and I've added some of the new songs as well.

This album is listed on my Albums Owned page.

This song is listed on my 20+ page.

What about sunrise

What about rain

What about all the things

That you said we were to gain...

What about killing fields

Is there a time

What about all the things

That you said was yours and mine...

Did you ever stop to notice

All the blood we've shed before

Did you ever stop to notice

The crying Earth the weeping shores?

Aaaaaaaaah Oooooooooh

Aaaaaaaaah Oooooooooh

What have we done to the world

Look what we've done

What about all the peace

That you pledge your only son...

What about flowering fields

Is there a time

What about all the dreams

That you said was yours and mine...

Did you ever stop to notice

All the children dead from war

Did you ever stop to notice

The crying Earth the weeping shores

Aaaaaaaaah Oooooooooh

Aaaaaaaaah Oooooooooh

I used to dream

I used to glance beyond the stars

Now I don't know where we are

Although I know we've drifted far

Aaaaaaaaah Oooooooooh

Aaaaaaaaah Oooooooooh

Aaaaaaaaah Oooooooooh

Aaaaaaaaah Oooooooooh

Hey, what about yesterday

(What about us)

What about the seas

(What about us)

The heavens are falling down

(What about us)

I can't even breathe

(What about us)

What about apathy

(What about us)

I need you

(What about us)

What about nature's worth

(Ooo, ooo)

It's our planet's womb

(What about us)

What about animals

(What about it)

We've turned kingdoms to dust

(What about us)

What about elephants

(What about us)

Have we lost their trust

(What about us)

What about crying whales

(What about us)

We're ravaging the seas

(What about us)

What about forest trails

(Ooo, ooo)

Burnt despite our pleas

(What about us)

What about the holy land

(What about it)

Torn apart by creed

(What about us)

What about the common man

(What about us)

Can't we set him free

(What about us)

What about children dying

(What about us)

Can't you hear them cry

(What about us)

Where did we go wrong

(Ooo, ooo)

Someone tell me why

(What about us)

What about babies

(What about it)

What about the days

(What about us)

What about all their joy

(What about us)

What about the man

(What about us)

What about the crying man

(What about us)

What about Abraham

(What about us)

What about death again

(Ooo, ooo)

Do we give a damn

Aaaaaaaaah Oooooooooh

Aaaaaaaaah Oooooooooh

Have A Nice Day by Bon Jovi

3rd Bon Jovi song from a 3rd different album. That's pretty good considering how many Bon Jovi songs I have on the playlist. Although the majority are from their younger years, this one is from much later.

Why, you wanna tell me how to live my life?

Who, are you to tell me if it's black or white?

Mama, can you hear me? Try to understand.

Is innocence the difference between a boy and a man?

My daddy lived the lie, that's just the price that he paid

Sacrificed his life, just slavin' away.

Ohhh, if there's one thing I hang onto,

That gets me through the night.

I ain't gonna do what I don't want to,

I'm gonna live my life.

Shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice,

Standing on the ledge, I show the wind how to fly.

When the world gets in my face,

I say, Have A Nice Day.

Have A Nice Day

Take a look around you; nothing's what it seems

We're living in the broken home of hopes and dreams,

Let me be the first to shake a helping hand.

Anybody brave enough to take a stand,

I've knocked on every door, on every dead end street,

Looking for forgiveness,

what's left to believe?

Ohhh, if there's one thing I hang onto,

That gets me through the night.

I ain't gonna do what I don't want to,

I'm gonna live my life.

Shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice,

Standing on the ledge, I show the wind how to fly.

When the world gets in my face,

I say, Have A Nice Day.

Have A Nice Day.

[Guitar Solo]

Ohhh, if there's one thing I hang onto,

That gets me through the night.

I ain't gonna do what I don't want to,

I'm gonna live my life.

Shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice,

Standing on the ledge, I show the wind how to fly.

When the world gets in my face,

I say, Have A Nice Day.

Have A Nice Day.

Have A Nice Day.

Have A Nice Day.

Have A Nice Day.

When The world keeps trying, to drag me down,

I gotta raise my hands, I'm gonna stand my ground.

Well I say, Have A Nice Day.

Have A Nice Day

Have A Nice Day

No More by DC Talk

This is one of the better songs on the album, at least in my opinion. I like to jam to it.

This album is listed on the albums owned page.

This artist is on my Seen in Concert page.

This artist is listed on the 20+ page.

(DCT in effect!) 

Now you were born right into a world of sin

Short of God, the Lord of all men

From the jump on the sixth day

A breath of life embarked a nu way

All they could want and so much more

Satan made a move to settle the score

Threw out a bait that still don't miss

A human want whatcha cannot have fix 

[chorus]

No more givin' in

No more givin' in ta this thing we call sin

I'm sayin'

No more givin' in

No more givin' in ta sin 

The fall of man cold lit the spark

And offspring gotta deal with a heart

Full of sin, all guilty at birth

Fight it like a habit for all you're worth

Until you find thatcha cannot stand

Super-natch defeats a mere man

But there's a way to get ahead of the sin game

Beat it down in the power of God's name 

[repeat chorus]

[vamp]

This givin' in's gotta come to an end

Through Christ, we can say no ta sin

More of God, much less of me

Is the key thought to a victory

But it can't be done with an unsure vow

And you'll fail til ya choose to bow your head

But when ya finally do

You'll find the words of God to be true

[repeat chorus 2x]

Word up people, we ain't about sin no more

As a matter of fact,

We cold boycottin' sin right off the face of this Earth

Yo K-Max, you down with that?

(I'm steppin' to that!)

Yo T, you got my back on this boycott sin thang?

(Ya know it, holmes!)

Word up sin, you are history! 

[repeat chorus]

Gonna Wanna Tonight by Chase Rice

I know this song and like this song but don't really know much about it or Chase Rice. I don't believe this is the only song by him on this playlist though.

If you wanna climb a ladder on a water tower

Then we'll kick it with the stars for a couple hours

If you wanna then we're gonna get way up high

If you wanna dip your toes where the water stops

Then we'll let our feet hang off a fishin' dock

If you wanna then we're gonna have to give it a try, that's right

If you wanna go way out where there ain't nobody around

And let your long hair get to fallin' down

And let your red lips leave their mark all over mine

If you wanna then we're gonna girl

I hope you're gonna wanna tonight

If you wanna then we're gonna girl

I hope you're gonna wanna all night

If you wanna catch a buzz and ride it til the mornin'

Let's get two plastic cups and baby I'll get to pourin'

It don't really matter if it's whiskey or wine, it's fine

If you wanna go way out where there ain't nobody around

And let your long hair get to fallin' down

And let your red lips leave their mark all over mine

Fill up the night air with the radio

And put your hands wherever they wanna go

Yeah, we're right there

Girl just close your eyes

If you wanna then we're gonna girl

I hope you're gonna wanna tonight

If you wanna then we're gonna girl

I hope you're gonna wanna all night

Gonna wanna get a little closer

Gonna wanna slide it on over

Gonna wanna

Gonna wanna go out where there ain't nobody around

And let your long hair get to fallin' down

And let your red lips leave their mark all over mine

Come on

Fill up the night air with the radio

And put your hands wherever they wanna go

Yeah, we're right there

Girl just close your eyes

If you wanna then we're gonna girl

I hope you're gonna wanna tonight

If you wanna then we're gonna girl

I hope you're gonna wanna all night

Gonna wanna get a little closer

Gonna wanna slide it on over

Gonna wanna

Ya gonna wanna tonight

Nothing Without Love by Nate Ruess

I only knew of 1 Nate Ruess song and technically, it's not even his song but I loved that song enough that I went to his page and listened to some of his songs and added them. I've heard this song a few times but I'm not entirely familiar with it yet.

I am nothing without love

I’m but a ship stuck in the sand

Some would say that I’m all alone

But I am, I'm nothing without love

I wanna hold her in my arms

But she feeling low she feeling sad 

I would take credit for what’s wrong

But I am, I'm nothing without love

Three years at sea after the storm

On this sinking ship that love had put me on

God I wish a gust of wind would come and carry me home

But I, I got nowhere to go

Now here you show up with the force of a wave

And so I'm setting my sail, I’m headed for the empire state

Hey hey lord, I don’t want to lose this one, she make me feel whole

You know I am, I am nothing without love

Oh baby show me a sign

Send up a signal, that everything’s fine

Come on slide up right here by my side

You know that I, I want to rest in your light

Na na na hey, na na na ooh oh

Na na na hey, na na na ooh oh

Na na na hey, na na na ooh oh

Na na na hey, na na na ooh oh

I wanna rest in your life

Na na na hey, na na na ooh oh

Na na na hey, na na na ooh oh

Na na na hey, na na na ooh oh

Na na na hey

I am nothing without love

I’m just these thoughts without a pen

And I would take credit for this song

But I am nothing without love

Oh baby show me a sign

Send up a signal, that everything’s fine

Watch this, come on, come on, come on, come on right by my side

Don't you know that I, don't you know that I

I want to rest in your light

I want to rest in your light

I want to rest in your light

'Cause I am, I am nothing without love

Same Damn Life by Seether

I hadn't heard this song in awhile but I remembered it when it came up. It's not the best Seether song but it's still a pretty good one.

Come smoke a cigarette and let your hair down

Then pray for the rain to go away

I'm trying to forget I let us both down

Then pray for the sun to come again

I never thought I could feel so small

But you're the one that can't live without attention

I never thought I would lose this all

But you're the one who needs the fucking intervention

Now I'm reliving my whole damn life

And it's a shame that I can't remember

And now I'm living the same damn lie

And it's a shame, but nothing's forever

With every new regret I start to wear down

Then pray for the pain to go away

I need an amulet, I need a new sound

I know everything remains the same

I never thought I could feel so small

But I'm the one who will suffer this detention

I never thought I would lose this all

But I accept this is my new education

Now I'm reliving my whole damn life

And it's a shame that I can't remember

And now I'm living the same damn lie

And it's a shame, but nothing's forever

Now I'm reliving my whole damn life

And it's a shame that I can't remember

And now I'm living the same damn lie

And it's a shame, but nothing's forever

[Instrumental]

Now I'm reliving my whole damn life

And it's a shame that I can't remember

And now I'm living the same damn lie

And it's a shame, but nothing's forever

Now I'm reliving my whole damn life

And it's a shame that I can't remember

And now I'm living the same damn lie

And it's a shame, but nothing's forever

Good by Better Than Ezra

I have to admit, the main part I like about this song is the ohhhhaaahhaah, ahah, if you know what I mean. It's a good song, that's just what sticks out to me.

I usually try to post the actual video and this was the closest I could find but the song was released in 1993 and in the first 10 seconds, the guy in the car grabs a cell phone (a small, flat one) and reads a text message. While there was probably early cell phones back them, I'm pretty sure that was a much newer one. So I'm guessing this isn't the real video. Oh well, it's what you get.

Looking around the house.

Hidden behind the window and the door.

Searching for signs of life but there's nobody home.

Well, maybe I'm just too sure.

Maybe I'm just too frightened 

by the sound of it.

Pieces of note fall down, but the letter said, 

[CHORUS:]

Aha, it was good living with you. 

Aha, it was good.

Aha, it was good living with you.

Aha, it was good.

Sitting around the house, 

watching the sun trace shadows on the floor.

Searching for signs of life, but there's nobody home.

Well, maybe I'll call 

or write you a letter.

Now, maybe we'll see on the Fourth of July.

But I'm not too sure, and I'm not too proud.

Well, I'm not too sure and I'm not too proud to say.

[CHORUS:]

Aha, it was good living with you. 

Aha, it was good.

Aha, it was good living with you.

Aha, it was good.

[spoken:] 

Yeah, you were so good.yeah you were so good, yeah that's right...

Everybody Wants To Rule The World by Tears for Fears

Another staple of the 80's, I probably say that a lot. You would definitely will hear more Tears For Fears on here. I love the background music towards the end of this song.

Welcome to your life, there's no turning back, 

Even while we sleep, 

We will find you acting on your best behavior

Turn your back on mother nature

Everybody wants to rule the world

It's my own desire, it's my own remorse. 

Help me to decide. 

Help me make the most of freedom and of pleasure

Nothing ever lasts forever

Everybody wants to rule the world

There's a room where the light won't find you

Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down

When they do, I'll be right behind you

So glad we've almost made it

So sad they had to fade it

Everybody wants to rule the world

I can't stand this indecision, married with a lack of vision

Everybody wants to rule the world

Say that you'll never, never, never, never need it

One headline, why believe it?

Everybody wants to rule the world

All for freedom and for pleasure

Nothing ever lasts forever

Everybody wants to rule the world

50 Ways to Say Goodbye by Train

This is the 2nd song off of this album here. I didn't really know Train's music until I met my wife a little while back. You'll hear that statement a lot here, she got me to broaden my horizons in my music tastes. I've tried counting to see if they come up with 50 ways in the song, I don't think they do but now that I have the lyrics in front of me, I'm going to check again.

My heart is paralyzed

My head was oversized

I'll take the high road like I should

You said it's meant to be

That it's not you, it's me

You're leaving now for my own good

That's cool, but if my friends ask where you are I'm gonna say

She went down in an airplane

Fried getting suntanned

Fell in a cement mixer full of quicksand

Help me, help me, I'm no good at goodbyes!

She met a shark under water

Fell and no one caught her

I returned everything I ever bought her

Help me, help me, I'm all out of lies

And ways to say you died

My pride still feels the sting

You were my everything

Some day I'll find a love like yours (a love like yours)

She'll think I'm Superman

Not super minivan

How could you leave on Yom Kippur?

That's cool, but if my friends ask where you are I'm gonna say

She was caught in a mudslide

Eaten by a lion

Got run over by a crappy purple Scion

Help me, help me, I'm no good at goodbyes!

She dried up in the desert

Drowned in a hot tub

Danced to death at an east side night club

Help me, help me, I'm all out of lies

And ways to say you died

I wanna live a thousand lives with you

I wanna be the one you're dying to love...

But you don't want to

That's cool, but if my friends ask where you are I'm gonna say

That's cool, but if my friends ask where you are I'm gonna say

She went down in an airplane

Fried getting suntanned

Fell in a cement mixer full of quicksand

Help me, help me, I'm no good at goodbyes!

She met a shark under water

Fell and no one caught her

I returned everything I ever bought her

Help me, help me, I'm all out of lies

She was caught in a mudslide

Eaten by a lion

Got run over by a crappy purple Scion

Help me, help me, I'm no good at goodbyes!

She dried up in the desert

Drowned in a hot tub

Danced to death at an east side night club

Help me, help me, I'm all out of lies

Irresistible by Fall Out Boy

I'm not sure I've heard this song so either my daughter added it or I came across it once, said, that's not to bad and added it. Either way, it's staying because it was a decent song.

Coming in unannounced, drag my nails on the tile

I just followed your scent, you can just follow my smile

All of your flaws are aligned with this mood of mine

Cutting me to the bone, nothing left to leave behind

You ought to keep me concealed just like I was a weapon

I didn't come for a fight but I will fight till the end

And this one might be a battle, might not turn out okay

You know you look so Seattle, but you feel so LA

And I love the way you hurt me

It's irresistible, yeah

I love the way, I love the way

I love the way you hurt me, baby

I love the way, I love the way

I love the way you hurt me, baby

I'm gonna get you to burst just like you were a bubble

Frame me up on your wall just to keep me out of trouble

Like a moth getting trapped in the light by fixation

Truly free, love it baby, I'm talking no inflation

Too many war wounds and not enough wars

Too few rounds in the ring and not enough settled scores

Too many sharks, not enough blood in the waves

You know I give my love a f-f-four letter na-na-name

And I love the way you hurt me

It's irresistible, yeah

I love the way, I love the way

I love the way you hurt me, baby

I love the way, I love the way

I love the way you hurt me, baby

You're second hand smoke, second hand smoke

I breathe you in, but, honey, I don't know what you're doing to me

Mon chéri, but the truth catches up with us eventually

Try to say live, live and let live

But I'm no good, good at lip service

Except when they're yours, mi amor

I'm coming for you and I'm making war

And I still love the way you hurt me

[Music video with Demi Lovato says:] And I still love the way I hurt you

It's irresistible, yeah

I love the way, I love the way

I love the way you hurt me, baby

I love the way, I love the way

I love the way you hurt me, baby

After the Thrill Is Gone by Eagles

An actual Eagles song this time. Not one of their best but still not a bad song. Then again, do the Eagles put out any bad songs?

Same dances in the same old shoes

Some habits that you just can't lose

There's no telling what a man might use,

After the thrill is gone

The flame rises but it soon descends

Empty pages and a frozen pen

You're not quite lovers and you're not quite friends

After the thrill is gone, oh,

After the thrill is gone

What can you do when your dreams come true

And it's not quite like you planned?

What have you done to be losing the one

You held it so tight in your hand well

Time passes and you must move on,

Half the distance takes you twice as long

So you keep on singing for the sake of the song

After the thrill is gone

After the thrill is gone

You're afraid you might fall out of fashion

And you're feeling cold and small

Any kind of love without passion

That ain't no kind of lovin' at all, well

Same dances in the same old shoes

You get too careful with the steps you choose

you don't care about winning but you don't want to lose

After the thrill is gone

After the thrill is gone

After the thrill is gone, oh

After the thrill is gone

If You Love Me Let Me Go by Colbie Caillat

Always good to hear a Colbie song. I didn't even know who she was until my wife put one of her songs on our CD when we were dating and I loved it so I went and listened to a couple of albums and ended up liking a lot of her music.

Waiting here for my phone to ring, phone to ring wondering

Are you ever coming back to me again?

Counting every drop of rain, drop of rain falling

Falling down into the hole you dug for me

And it buried me, 'cause you dug so deep

But I'm still within your reach

Oh, oh

If you really loved me, you would let me go, oh

I'm tired of always sleeping with your ghost

Chasing away the things I need the most

If you really loved me, you would let me go

If you love me, let me go

Every time you come back again, back again the healing ends

I push all of my rules aside for you

You should see the way other eyes, other eyes fight for me

They give me everything that you never do

Still it tears at me, 'cause you cut so deep

And I'm still within your reach

Oh, oh

If you really loved me, you would let me go, oh

I'm tired of always sleeping with your ghost

Chasing away the things I need the most

If you really loved me, you would let me go

If you love me, let me go

All of me, all of me

Wants to be with you, but you

Let me bleed, let me bleed

All of me, all of me

Wants to be with you, but you

Let me bleed, let me bleed

Oh, oh

If you really loved me, you would let me go, oh

I'm tired of always sleeping with your ghost

Chasing away the things I need the most

If you really loved me, you would let me go

If you love me, let me go

If you love me, let me go

I don't know how many albums Alanis Morissette has but this is the only one I know of. I do have a few songs off of it on here though so there is that.

I'm broke but I'm happy

I'm poor but I'm kind

I'm short but I'm healthy, yeah

I'm high but I'm grounded

I'm sane but I'm overwhelmed

I'm lost but I'm hopeful baby

What it all comes down to

Is that everything's gonna be fine fine fine

'cause I've got one hand in my pocket

And the other one is giving a high five

I feel drunk but I'm sober

I'm young and I'm underpaid

I'm tired but I'm working, yeah

I care but I'm restless

I'm here but I'm really gone

I'm wrong and I'm sorry baby

What it all comes down to

Is that everything's gonna be quite alright

'cause I've got one hand in my pocket

And the other one is flicking a cigarette

And what it all comes down to

Is that I haven't got it all figured out just yet

'cause I've got one hand in my pocket

And the other one is giving the peace sign

I'm free but I'm focused

I'm green but I'm wise

I'm hard but I'm friendly baby

I'm sad but I'm laughing

I'm brave but I'm chickenshit

I'm sick but I'm pretty baby

And what it all boils down to

Is that no one's really got it figured out just yet

'cause I've got one hand in my pocket

And the other one is playing the piano

And what it all comes down to my friends

Is that everything's just fine fine fine

'cause I've got one hand in my pocket

And the other one is hailing a taxi cab

Nothing Else Matters by Metallica

You know with all the Rock on this playlist, there is going to be Metallica. They are one of those bands that you can recognize no matter what song is playing.

So close no matter how far

Couldn't be much more from the heart

Forever trusting who we are

And nothing else matters

Never opened myself this way

Life is ours, we live it our way

All these words I don't just say

And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you

Every day for us something new

Open mind for a different view

And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do

Never cared for what they know

But I know

So close no matter how far

Couldn't be much more from the heart

Forever trusting who we are

And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do

Never cared for what they know

But I know

I never opened myself this way

Life is ours, we live it our way

All these words I don't just say

And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you

Every day for us something new

Open mind for a different view

And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they say

Never cared for games they play

Never cared for what they do

Never cared for what they know

And I know

So close no matter how far

Couldn't be much more from the heart

Forever trusting who we are

No nothing else matters

Away From Me by Puddle of Mudd

I don't know how popular Puddle of Mudd is in the Rock world but I know I love a lot of their music. They are a great band to jam to, I cranked this song up on the way home from work today.

Yea Lies

Look at me now 

Just sittin here by myself

And I think you found someone else

Now I'm gonna have to find 

A way to put the bottle down

And why can’t you see

That I’m drowning in a pool of misery

I’m always afraid

That you’re gone

Away from me

I’m always afraid

That you’re lost in somebody

I’m always afraid

That you’re gone

Away from me

I’m always afraid 

That you’re lost

So here I am 

I don't wanna be by myself

And I think you’re fucking someone else

now im gonna have to find a way

To take the knife out of my back

And how could you leave me

Stranded in a closet full of bones

I’m always afraid

That you’re gone

Away from me

I’m always afraid

That you’re lost in somebody

I’m always afraid

That you’re gone

Away from me

I’m always afraid 

That you’re lost

Maybe you could let me stay

Maybe just for one more day

You could help me stay the same

Maybe things won’t ever change

Maybe we could taste the rain

You could push me out the way

Now I sit here by myself

Think about somebody else

How could you let them take you away from me

There’s somebody else

There’s somebody else!

I’m always afraid

That you’re gone

Away from me

I’m always afraid

That you’re lost in somebody

I’m always afraid

That you’re gone

Away from me

I’m always afraid 

That you’re...

I’m always afraid [x7]
