She's Like the Wind by Patrick Swayze

She's like the wind,

Through my tree

She rides the night

Next to me

She leads me through moonlight

Only to burn me with the sun

She's taken my heart

But she doesn't know what she's done

Feel her breath in my face

Her body close to me

Can't look in her eyes

She's out of my league

Just a fool to believe

I have anything she needs

She's like the wind

I look in the mirror

And all I see

Is a young old man

With only a dream

Am I just fooling myself

That she'll stop the pain?

Living without her

I'd go insane!

I feel her breath in my face

Her body close to me

Can't look in her eyes

She's out of my league

Just a fool to believe

I have anything she needs

She's like the wind

I feel your breath in my face

Your body close to me

Can't look in your eyes

You're out of my league

Just a fool to believe (Just a fool to believe)

She's like the wind

(Just a fool to believe) Just a fool to believe

(She's like the wind)

Just a fool to believe (Just a fool to believe)

She's like the wind

(Just a fool to believe) Just a fool to believe

She's like the wind

(Just a fool...she's like the wind)

(She's like the wind)

(Just a fool...she's like the wind)

(Just a fool...)

Carolina by Parmalee

Home is where my heart is still beating

And I don't know when I'll see her again

I hate to see her cry when I'm leaving

But now I'm a thousand miles away again

And she feels like Carolina

Looks like California

Shining like those New York lights on Broadway

When she looks back I'm behind her

I'll always be there for her

She makes me feel like home's not so far away

She feels like Carolina

It's hard to understand the way I'm living

And I know she thinks I'm never coming home (never coming home)

But I miss her pretty smile, I'm coming back in a little while

But I'm a thousand miles away again

And she feels like Carolina

Looks like California

Shining like those New York lights on Broadway

When she looks back I'm behind her

I'll always be there for her

She makes me feel like home's not so far away

No matter how far I go, you know I can't stop thinking about her

And there's nothing like the way I feel, the way I feel when I'm beside her

[2x]

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

She feels like Carolina

Looks like California

Shining like those New York lights on Broadway

When she looks back I'm behind her

I'll always be there for her

She makes me feel like home's not so far away

Carolina (Carolina)

California (California)

Like home's not so far away

She feels like Carolina (Carolina)

Looks like California (California)

She makes me feel like home's not so far away

She makes me feel like home's not so far away

Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond

Where it began

I can't begin to knowin'

But then I know it's growin' strong

Was in the spring

And spring became the summer

Who'd have believed you'd come along

Hands, touchin' hands

Reachin' out, touchin' me, touchin' you

Sweet Caroline

Good times never seemed so good

I've been inclined

To believe they never would

But now I...

...look at the night

And it don't seem so lonely

We fill it up with only two

And when I hurt

Hurtin' runs off my shoulders

How can I hurt when holdin' you?

Warm, touchin' warm

Reachin' out, touchin' me, touchin' you

Sweet Caroline

Good times never seemed so good

I've been inclined

To believe they never would

Oh, no, no

Sweet Caroline

Good times never seemed so good

Sweet Caroline

I believed they never could

Sweet Caroline

Good times never seemed so good

Gloria by Michael W. Smith

[Part 1]

Angels we have heard on high

Sweetly singing o'er the plain

And the mountains in reply

Echo back their joyous strains

Come to Bethlehem and see

Him whose birth the angels sing

Come adore on bended knee

Christ the Lord the newborn King

[Part 2]

Gloria oh sing Gloria

Gloria oh sing Gloria

Come adore on bended knee

Christ the Lord the new-born king

[all sing together]

Gloria oh Gloria in excelsis Deo

Gloria oh Gloria in excelsis Deo

[Break into parts again]

[Part 1]

Angels we have heard on high

Sweetly singing o'er the plain

Jesus, Lord of heav'n and earth

With us sing our Savior's birth

[Part 2]

Gloria oh sing Gloria

Gloria oh sing Gloria

[all sing together]

Gloria oh Gloria in excelsis Deo [x6]

With You by Linkin Park

[Mike Shinoda:]

I woke up in a dream today

To the cold of the static and put my cold feet on the floor

Forgot all about yesterday

Remembering I'm pretending to be where I'm not anymore

A little taste of hypocrisy

And I'm left in the wake of the mistake, slow to react

And even though you're so close to me

You're still so distant and I can't bring you back

[Chester Bennington:]

It's true the way I feel

Was promised by your face

The sound of your voice

Painted on my memories

Even if you're not with me

[(Chester Bennington) Mike Shinoda:]

(I'm with you)

You

Now I see keeping everything inside

(with you)

You

Now I see even when I close my eyes

[Mike Shinoda:]

I hit you and you hit me back

We fall to the floor, the rest of the day stands still

Fine line between this and that

When things go wrong I pretend that the past isn't real

Now I'm trapped in this memory

And I'm left in the wake of the mistake, slow to react

So even though you're close to me

You're still so distant and I can't bring you back

[Chester Bennington:]

It's true the way I feel

Was promised by your face

The sound of your voice

Painted on my memories

Even if you're not with me

[(Chester Bennington) Mike Shinoda:]

(I'm with you)

You

Now I see keeping everything inside

(with you)

You

Now I see even when I close my eyes

(with you)

You

Now I see keeping everything inside

(with you)

You

Now I see even when I close my eyes

[Chester Bennington:]

No, no matter how far we've come

I can't wait to see tomorrow

No matter how far we've come

I, I can't wait to see tomorrow

[(Chester Bennington) Mike Shinoda:]

(with you)

You

Now I see keeping everything inside

(with you)

You

Now I see even when I close my eyes

(with you)

You

Now I see keeping everything inside

(with you)

You

Now I see even when I close my eyes

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen by Kim Hill & Phil Keaggy

God rest ye merry, gentlemen

Let nothing you dismay

Remember, Christ, our Saviour

Was born on Christmas day

To save us all from Satan's power

When we were gone astray

O tidings of comfort and joy,

Comfort and joy

O tidings of comfort and joy

In Bethlehem, in Israel,

This blessed Babe was born

And laid within a manger

Upon this blessed morn

The which His Mother Mary

Did nothing take in scorn

O tidings of comfort and joy,

Comfort and joy

O tidings of comfort and joy

From God our Heavenly Father

A blessed Angel came;

And unto certain Shepherds

Brought tidings of the same:

How that in Bethlehem was born

The Son of God by Name.

O tidings of comfort and joy,

Comfort and joy

O tidings of comfort and joy

"Fear not then," said the Angel,

"Let nothing you affright,

This day is born a Saviour

Of a pure Virgin bright,

To free all those who trust in Him

From Satan's power and might."

O tidings of comfort and joy,

Comfort and joy

O tidings of comfort and joy

The shepherds at those tidings

Rejoiced much in mind,

And left their flocks a-feeding

In tempest, storm and wind:

And went to Bethlehem straightway

The Son of God to find.

O tidings of comfort and joy,

Comfort and joy

O tidings of comfort and joy

And when they came to Bethlehem

Where our dear Saviour lay,

They found Him in a manger,

Where oxen feed on hay;

His Mother Mary kneeling down,

Unto the Lord did pray.

O tidings of comfort and joy,

Comfort and joy

O tidings of comfort and joy

Now to the Lord sing praises,

All you within this place,

And with true love and brotherhood

Each other now embrace;

This holy tide of Christmas

All other doth deface.

O tidings of comfort and joy,

Comfort and joy

O tidings of comfort and joy

I Kissed A Girl by Katy Perry

This was never the way I planned, not my intention

I got so brave, drink in hand, lost my discretion

It's not what I'm used to, just wanna try you on

I'm curious for you, caught my attention

I kissed a girl and I liked it

The taste of her cherry chapstick

I kissed a girl just to try it

I hope my boyfriend don't mind it

It felt so wrong

It felt so right

Don't mean I'm in love tonight

I kissed a girl and I liked it

I liked it

No, I don't even know your name, it doesn't matter

You're my experimental game, just human nature

It's not what good girls do, not how they should behave

My head gets so confused, hard to obey

I kissed a girl and I liked it

The taste of her cherry chapstick

I kissed a girl just to try it

I hope my boyfriend don't mind it

It felt so wrong

It felt so right

Don't mean I'm in love tonight

I kissed a girl and I liked it

I liked it

Us girls we are so magical

Soft skin, red lips, so kissable

Hard to resist, so touchable

Too good to deny it

Ain't no big deal, it's innocent

I kissed a girl and I liked it

The taste of her cherry chapstick

I kissed a girl just to try it

I hope my boyfriend don't mind it

It felt so wrong

It felt so right

Don't mean I'm in love tonight

I kissed a girl and I liked it

I liked it

Random Artist #10 - Mountain

I have a list of all the artists on my playlists on a spreadsheet that have numbers next to them. I'll put the highest number in the Google Random Number Generator, click random 3 times and take that number that comes up and see the artist that is listed and do a post.

One of the reasons for these posts is when the artist comes up, I'm going to go and look at some of their other hits and see if I already know them or like them in order to add them to my playlists. Hopefully along with that, you all could make some suggestions in the comments from the artist that I might be missing out on.

Mountain

I've only listened to them 4 times in the last 3 years but that's because they are a band that I just recently added a track to my playlist. They were featured on my Discover Weekly playlist on Spotify about a month or two ago. I've only added that track but I will go back and listen to more as I do when I do these posts.

Studio Albums:

1. Climbing! (1970)
2. Nantucket Sleighride (1971)
3. Flowers of Evil (1971)
4. Avalanche (1974)
5. Go For Your Life (1985)
6. Man's World (1996)
7. Mystic Fire (2002)
8. Masters of War (2007)

They were around for awhile and I hadn't really heard of them that I remember.

Songs on my Playlists:

1. Blood of the Sun
2. Mississippi Queen
3. Nantucket Sleighride

As you can tell, I added a couple of more. Mississippi Queen was the original song on my playlist so I'm sure they'll get a lot more plays this year.

I Hate Myself For Loving You by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts

Midnight, gettin' uptight, where are you?

You said you'd meet me, now it's quarter to two

I know I'm hangin' but I'm still wantin' you

Hey Jack, it's a fact they're talkin' in town

I turn my back and you're messin' around

I'm not really jealous, don't like lookin' like a clown

I think of you ev'ry night and day

You took my heart then you took my pride away

I hate myself for loving you

Can't break free from the things that you do

I wanna walk but I run back to you

That's why I hate myself for loving you

Ow! Uh

Daylight, spent the night without you

But I've been dreamin' 'bout the lovin' you do

I'm over being angry 'bout the hell you put me through

Hey, man, bet you can treat me right

You just don't know what you was missin' last night

I wanna see you begging, say forget it just for spite

I think of you ev'ry night and day

You took my heart and you took my pride away

I hate myself for loving you

Can't break free from the the things that you do

I wanna walk but I run back to you

That's why I hate myself for loving you

Ow! Huh

I think of you ev'ry night and day

You took my heart and you took my pride away

I hate myself for loving you

Can't break free from the things that you do

I wanna walk but I run back to you

That's why I hate myself for loving you

I hate myself for loving you

Can't break free from the the things that you do

I wanna walk but I run back to you

That's why I hate myself for loving you

I hate myself for loving you

I hate myself for loving you

I hate myself for loving you

I hate myself

I hate myself for loving you

Young and in Love by Ingrid Michaelson

We're young and in love

And we're running like the wind, we got it all

We're never alone

If we got each other we can save the world

Explosions in the sky

I see colors fly

Better Sorry Than Safe by Halestorm

I can't even think of one good reason

Why I'm always thinking about leaving

It's not like everything's so horrible

We've been together for a few years now

And you know all my ins and outs

But everything's way too comfortable

From the moment I wake I plan my escape

I'm not scared

'Cause I know there's something out there waiting for me

And I swear that I'll find it someday, just wait and see

I don't care that you call me crazy

I can't stay 'cause I need room to breathe

There's nothing left to say, better sorry than safe

Sometimes I wish you cheated on me

Then leavin' here would be so easy

It's time to take a chance and give you up

In the morning I'll wake and make my escape

I'm not scared

'Cause I know there's something out there waiting for me

And I swear that I'll find it someday, just wait and see

I don't care that you call me crazy

I can't stay 'cause I need room to breathe

There's nothing left to say, better sorry than safe

I'm not scared

'Cause I know there's something out there waiting for me

And I swear that I'll find it someday, just wait and see

I don't care that you call me crazy

I can't stay 'cause I need room to breathe

There's nothing left to say, better sorry than safe

Oh yeah, there's nothing left to say

Champion by Fall Out Boy

Champion, champion

I'm calling you from the future

To let you know we made a mistake

And there's a fog from the past

That's giving me, giving me such a headache

And I'm back with a madness

I'm a champion of the people who don't believe in champions

I got nothing but dreams inside

I got nothing but dreams

I'm just young enough to still believe, still believe

But young enough not to know what to believe in

Young enough not to know what to believe in, yeah

If I can live through this

If I can live through this

If I can live through this

I can do anything

If I can live through this

If I can live through this

If I can live through this

I can do anything

Champion, champion

Champion, champion

I got rage every day, on the inside

The only thing I do is sit around and kill time

I'm trying to blow out the pilot light, I'm trying to blow out the light

I'm just young enough to still believe, still believe

But young enough not to know what to believe in

Young enough not to know what to believe

If I can live through this

If I can live through this

If I can live through this

I can do anything

If I can live through this

If I can live through this

Save Tonight by Eagle-Eye Cherry

Go on and close the curtains

'Cause all we need is candlelight

You and me, and a bottle of wine

To hold you tonight (oh)

Well we know I'm going away

And how I wish - I wish it weren't so

So take this wine and drink with me

And let's delay our misery

Save tonight and fight the break of dawn

Come tomorrow - tomorrow I'll be gone

Save tonight and fight the break of dawn

Come tomorrow - tomorrow I'll be gone

There's a log on the fire

And it burns like me for you

Tomorrow comes with one desire

To take me away (ohh it's true)

It ain't easy to say good-bye

Darlin' please, don't start to cry

'Cause girl you know I've got to go (oh)

And Lord I wish it wasn't so

Save tonight and fight the break of dawn

Come tomorrow - tomorrow I'll be gone

Save tonight and fight the break of dawn

Night Ranger

I've only listened to them 27 times since 2018. That will go up when I listen to more today to see if I recognize anymore.

I only have one song on my playlist at the start of this post. We'll see if it goes up.

Studio Albums:

1. Dawn Patrol (1982)
2. Midnight Madness (1983)
3. 7 Wishes (1985)

5. Man in Motion (1988)

9. Hole in the Sun (2007)
10. Somewhere in California (2011)

I always assumed they were 80's rock band, had not idea they released an album as early as a few years ago.

Song on my playlists:

1. Sister Christian

As you can tell, I didn't add any more songs. When it comes to these bands that were around in my childhood/teen years, I tend to only add songs that I recognize and I didn't recognize anything else. I'll add a song I don't know if it stands out but nothing else really stood out to me.

So tell my mother that I never wrote a whack jam

But some times I get n-nervous and start to stutter

And I f-fumble every word for word I utter

So I just try to ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-chill

But it gets worse-a but worse-a but-but-but worse still

I need the c-c-c-crowd to k-k-k-kick into it

They help me calm down and I can get through it

So higher higher

Get ya hands to the ceiling

Let it go yall don't fight the feeling

Mic in a strangle hold sweat pourin'

And like Jordan yo I'm scoring

Yeah that's right yall and I am in the flow

So pump up the volume along with the tempo

Many have died tryin' to stop my show

I came here tonight to here the crowd go

[Chorus]

You Should Be Here by Cole Swindell

It's perfect outside. It's like God let me dial up the weather.

Got the whole crew here, I ain't seen some of them in forever.

It's one of those never-forget-it-better-stop-and-take-it-in kinda scenes.

Everything's just right, yeah, except for one thing.

You should be here, standing with your arm around me here.

Cutting up, cracking a cold beer, saying cheers, hey y'all it's sure been a good year.

It's one of those moments, that's got your name written all over it.

And you know that if I had just one wish it'd be that you didn't have to miss this

You should be here.

You'd be taking way too many pictures on your phone.

Showing them off to everybody that you know back home.

And even some you don't, yeah

They say now you're in a better place

And I would be too if I could see your face.

You should be here, standing with your arm around me here.

Cutting up, cracking a cold beer, saying cheers, hey, y'all it's sure been a good year.

It's one of those moments, that's got your name written all over it.

And you know that if I had just one wish it'd be that you didn't have to miss this.

Aw you should be here.

You'd be loving this, you'd be freaking out, you'd be smiling, yeah

I know you'd be all about what's going on right here right now.

God, I wish somehow you could be here.

Oh, you should be here.

Yeah, this is one of those moments that's got your name written all over it

And you know that if I had just one wish it'd be that you didn't have to miss this.

Aw you should be here.

You should be here.

Love Wins by Carrie Underwood

A stray bullet and a momma cries

Her baby won't be coming home tonight

Sirens screaming down the avenue

Just another story on the evening news, oh woah

Politics and prejudice

How the hell it'd ever come to this

When everybody's gotta pick a side

It don't matter if you're wrong or right, no, and so it goes

But I hold onto hope and I won't let go cause

I, I believe you and me are sisters and brothers

And I, I believe we're made to be here for each other

And we'll never fall if we walk hand in hand

Put a world that seems broken together again

Yeah I, I believe in the end love wins

Sometimes it takes a lot of faith

To keep believing there will come a day

When the tears and the sadness, the pain and the hate

The struggle, this madness, will all fade away, yeah

I, I believe you and me are sisters and brothers

And I, I believe we're made to be here for each other

And we'll never fall if we walk hand in hand

Put a world that seems broken together again

Yeah I, I believe in the end love wins

Love is power, love is a smile

Love reaches out, love is the remedy

Love is the answer, love's an open door

Love is the only thing worth fighting for, yeah

I, I believe you and me are sisters and brothers

And I, I believe we're made to be here for each other

And we'll never fall if we walk hand in hand

Put a world that seems broken together again

Yeah I, I believe in the end love wins

Oh yeah, love wins

Love will, love can, love still, love wins

Love will, love can, love still, love wins

Sooner or Later by Breaking Benjamin

I want a normal life

just like a new born child

I am a lover hater

I am an instigator

You are an oversight

Don't try to compromise

I'll learn to love to hate it

I am not integrated

[Pre-Chorus]

Just call my name

You'll be okay

Your scream is burning through my veins

Sooner or later you're gonna hate it

Go ahead and throw your life away

Driving me under, leaving me out there

Go ahead and throw your life away

You're like an infantile

I knew it all the while

You sit and try to play me

Just like you see on tv

I am an oversight

Just like a parasite

Why am I so pathetic

I know you won't forget it

[Pre-chorus]

Sooner or later you're gonna hate it

Go ahead and throw my life away

Driving me under, leaving me out there

Go ahead and throw my life away

Sooner or later you're gonna hate it

Go ahead and throw our life away

Driving me under, leaving me out there

Go ahead and throw our life away

Throw our life away

Ooooo

Throw our life away

How Do You Get That Lonely by Blaine Larsen

It was just another story printed on the second page

Underneath the Tiger's football score

It said he was only eighteen, a boy about my age

They found him face down on his bedroom floor

There'll be services on Friday at the Lawrence Funeral Home

Then out on Mooresville highway, they'll lay him 'neath a stone...

How do you get that lonely, how do you hurt that bad

To make you make the call, that havin' no life at all

Is better than the life that you had

How do you feel so empty, you want to let it all go

How do you get that lonely... and nobody knows

Did his girlfriend break up with him, did he buy or steal that gun?

Did he lose a fight with drugs or alcohol?

Did his Mom and Daddy forget to say I love you son?

Did no one see the writing on the wall?

I'm not blamin' anybody, we all do the best we can

I know hindsight's 20/20, but I still don't understand...

How do you get that lonely, how do you hurt that bad

To make you make the call, that havin' no life at all

Is better than the life that you had

How do you feel so empty, you want to let it all go

How do you get that lonely... and nobody knows

It was just another story printed on the second page

Underneath the Tiger's football score...

Random Artist #8 - Alice in Chains

 

I have a list of all the artists on my playlists on a spreadsheet that have numbers next to them. I'll put the highest number in the Google Random Number Generator, click random 3 times and take that number that comes up and see the artist that is listed and do a post.

One of the reasons for these posts is when the artist comes up, I'm going to go and look at some of their other hits and see if I already know them or like them in order to add them to my playlists. Hopefully along with that, you all could make some suggestions in the comments from the artist that I might be missing out on.

Alice in Chains

Mad Hatter by Avenged Sevenfold

From the manor a cutting whisper

Rising vapors through clocks of gold

Gilding fire unchains the demons

With undercurrents far too strong to hold

The sun burned out today

And fools are dancing in the rain

Scarred by the acid stain

And on the shelf a jar that holds my brain

Nightfall haunts us all from the shadows

Cynical beauty now lights the halls

Before the flicker there was only blackness

The end is coming and all my friends are dead

The sun burned out today

And fools are dancing in the rain

Scarred by the acid stain

And on the shelf a jar that holds my brain

Gripped by an empty world

Suffer the crushing weight

Madness will crawl inside

Alter the sober state

They're feeding all the voices in my head

(Slowly we're bled)

(Slowly we're bled)

(Slowly we're bled)

(Slowly we're bled)

(Slowly we're bled)

The Labyrinth hedges return to soil

Mother's weeping will go unheard

The dove that once flew here through the mazes

Had seen the darkness and chose to take its life

The sun burned out today

And fools are dancing in the rain

Scarred by the acid stain

And on the shelf a jar that holds my brain

Gripped by an empty world

Suffer the crushing weight

Madness will crawl inside

Alter the sober state

They're feeding all the voices in my head

They're feeding all the voices in my head

They're feeding all the voices in my head

They're feeding all the voices in my head
