Flood by Jars of Clay

Funny thing about this song is I never realized it was a Christian song until a few years ago. The local rock station that I used to listen to all the time played it so I just assumed it was regular Rock. I believe it came up who sang it at one point, and I was pretty sure Jars of Clay was a Christian group, Either way, I love this song. It's one of those songs that has a nice slow start, then kicks it in quickly. It's also one of those songs that get's stuck in my head and my wife usually ends up yelling at me to shut up.

This is the only Jars of Clay song I have on this blog. I never got into them back when I listened to Christian Music, I think they may have actually started to come out just as I was getting away from the genre. If you know any other good songs by them, let me know and I'll check them out. I really like this song so I can't imagine they don't have others that I like.

Rain, rain on my face

It hasn't stopped raining for days

My world is a flood

Slowly I become one with the mud

[Chorus:]

But if I can't swim after forty days

and my mind is crushed by the thrashing waves

Lift me up so high that I cannot fall

Lift me up

Lift me up - when I'm falling

Lift me up - I'm weak and I'm dying

Lift me up - I need you to hold me

Lift me up - Keep me from drowning again

Downpour on my soul

Splashing in the ocean, I'm losing control

Dark sky all around

I can't feel my feet touching the ground

[Chorus]

Calm the storms that drench my eyes

Dry the streams still flowing

Cast down all the waves of sin

And guilt that overthrow me

[Chorus]

Lift me up - when I'm falling

Lift me up - I'm weak and I'm dying

Lift me up - I need you to hold me

Lift me up - Keep me from drowning again

Remedy by Seether

*Apparently I forgot to post this on Saturday, it was still in my drafts folder. Oops!

That is a creepy ass cover photo. Good thing the music on it rocks. We'll definitely have more Seether music on this blog, not a ton but more than a couple. This song came on and my daughter turned it up which tells you what kind of music she likes.

Throw your dollar bills

And leave your thrills

All here with me

And speak but don't pretend

I won't defend you anymore you see

It aches in every bone

I'll die alone

But not for you

My eyes don't need to see

That ugly thing

I know it's me you fear

If you want me hold me back

Frail, the skin is dry and pale

The pain will never fail

And so we go back to the remedy

Clip the wings that get you high

Just leave them where they lie

And tell yourself, "You'll be the death of me"

I don't need a friend

I need to mend so far away

So come sit by the fire

And play a while

But you can't stay too long

It aches in every bone

I'll die alone

But not for pleasure

I see my heart explode

It's been eroded by the weather here

If you want me hold me back

Frail, the skin is dry and pale

The pain will never fail

And so we go back to the remedy

Clip the wings that get you high

Just leave them where they lie

And tell yourself, "You'll be the death of me"

Frail, the skin is dry and pale

The pain will never fail

And so we go back to the remedy

Clip the wings that get you high

Just leave them where they lie

And tell yourself, "You'll be the death of me"

Hold your eyes closed

Take me in

Hold your eyes closed

Take me in

Frail, the skin is dry and pale

The pain will never fail

And so we go back to the remedy

Clip the wings that get you high

Just leave them where they lie

And tell yourself, "You'll be the death of me"

Frail, the skin is dry and pale

The pain will never fail

And so we go back to the remedy

Clip the wings that get you high

Just leave them where they lie

And tell yourself, "You'll be the death of me"

S.E.X. by Nickelback

This song is relatively new to me, I've only heard it a few times. It was one of the songs that my daughter added to my playlists to see if I liked it. She does that for me because I pretty much only listen to Spotify, so I don't hardly ever hear new music so if she runs across something that I might like, she adds it to my playlists.

"No" is a dirty word,

Never gonna say it first,

"No" is just a thought that never crosses my mind.

Maybe in the parking lot,

Better bring your friend along,

Better off together than just one at a time.

S is for the simple need.

E is for the ecstasy.

X is just to mark the spot,

Because that's the one you really want.

(Yes!) Sex is always the answer, it's never a question,

'Cause the answer's yes, oh the answers (Yes)

Not just a suggestion, if you ask the question,

Then it's always yes. Yeah!

I'm loving what you wanna wear,

I wonder what's up under there?

Wonder if I'll ever have it under my tongue?

I'd love to try to set you free,

All of you all over me.

Love hearin' the sound you make the second you're done.

S is for the simple need.

E is for the ecstasy.

X is just to mark the spot,

Because that's the one you really want.

(Yes!) Sex is always the answer, it's never a question,

'Cause the answer's yes, oh the answers (Yes).

Then it's always yes. Yeah! (YES)

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

This Kiss by Faith Hill

This was probably one of the first country songs that I liked, but I still refused to admit that I did like a country song. Of course, that was back in the late 90's and I didn't start listening to country until 5 or 6 years ago. I admit, I still sing along when it comes on.

I don't want another heartbreak

I don't need another turn to cry, no

I don't want to learn the hard way

Baby hello, oh no, goodbye

But you got me like a rocket

Shooting straight across the sky

It' s the way you love me

It's a feeling like this

It's centrifugal motion

It's perpetual bliss

It's that pivotal moment

It's, ah, impossible

This kiss, this kiss

Unstoppable

This kiss, this kiss

Cinderella said to Snow White

"How does love get so off course

All I wanted was a white knight

With a good heart, soft touch, fast horse

Ride me off into the sunset

Baby I'm forever yours"

It's the way you love me

It's a feeling like this

It's centrifugal motion

It's perpetual bliss

It's that pivotal moment

It's, ah unthinkable

This kiss, this kiss

Unsinkable

This kiss, this kiss

You can kiss me in the moonlight

On the rooftop under the sky, oh

You can kiss me with the windows open

While the rain comes pouring inside, oh

Kiss me in sweet slow motion

Let's let everything slide

You got me floating

You got me flying

It's the way you love me

It's a feeling like this

It's centrifugal motion

It's perpetual bliss

It's that pivotal moment

It's (ah) subliminal

This kiss, this kiss

It's criminal

This kiss, this kiss

It's the way you love me baby

It's the way you love me, darlin'

It' s the way you love me

It's a feeling like this

It's centrifugal motion

It's perpetual bliss

It's that pivotal moment

It's (ah) subliminal

This kiss, this kiss

It's criminal

This kiss, this kiss

It's the way you love me baby

It's the way you love me darlin'

Finally by CeCe Peniston

If I remember correctly, I listened to this song because I had one of those compilation CD's, might have even been one of those "Now This is What I Call Music?" but if not, it was something like that and I listened to it all the time. This is the only song I have by her on this blog.

Finally it has happened to me right in front of my face

And I just cannot hide it

Meeting Mr. Right, the man of my dreams

The one who shows me true love or at least it seems

With brown cocoa skin and curly black hair

It's just the way he looks at me that gentle loving stare

Finally you've come along

The way I feel about you, it just can't be wrong

If you only knew the way I feel about you

I just can't describe it, oh no, no

Finally it has happened to me right in front of my face

My feelings can't describe it

Finally it has happened to me right in front of my face

And I just cannot hide it

Finally it has happened to me right in front of my face

My feelings can't describe it

Finally it has happened to me right in front of my face

And I just cannot hide it

I seems so many times you seemed to be the one

But all he ever wanted was to have a little fun

But now you've come along and brightened up my world

In my heart I feel it, I'm that special kinda girl

Finally you've come along

The way I feel about you, it just can't be wrong

If you only knew the way I feel about you

I just can't describe it, oh no, no

Finally it has happened to me right in front of my face

My feelings can't describe it

Finally it has happened to me right in front of my face

And I just cannot hide it

Finally it has happened to me right in front of my face

My feelings can't describe it

Finally it has happened to me right in front of my face

And I just cannot hide it

Finally, finally, yeah

Finally you've come along

The way I feel about you, it just can't be wrong

If you only knew the way I feel about you

I just can't describe it, oh no, no

Finally it has happened to me right in front of my face

My feelings can't describe it

Finally it has happened to me right in front of my face

And I just cannot hide it

Finally it has happened to me right in front of my face

My feelings can't describe it

One More Day by Diamond Rio

This would be one of those country songs that my wife introduced me to when we were dating. I'm pretty sure this is the only song I have by them because when I looked to see who sang it, I didn't even recognize the group.

Last night I had a crazy dream

A wish was granted just for me it could be for anything

I didn't ask for money or a mansion in Malibu

I simply wished for one more day with you

One more day, one more time

One more sunset, maybe I'd be satisfied

But then again, I know what it would do

Leave me wishing still for one more day with you, one more day

First thing I'd do is pray for time to crawl

I'd unplug the telephone and keep the TV off

I'd hold you every second, say a million I love you's

That's what I'd do with one more day with you

One more day, one more time

One more sunset maybe I'd be satisfied

But then again I know what it would do

Leave me wishing still for one more day with you

One more day, one more time

One more sunset maybe I'd be satisfied

But then again I know what it would do

Leave me wishing still for one more day

Leave me wishing still for one more day

Leave me wishing still for one more day with you

One more day, one more day

Come As You Are by Nirvana

I almost had another Beatles song, Spotify must really like the Beatles. Instead, Niravana came on. I'm not one of those guys who just loved Nirvana but I do like a number of their songs. You'll see a few more here.

Come as you are, as you were

As I want you to be

As a friend, as a friend

As a known enemy

Take your time, hurry up

Choice is yours, don't be late

Take a rest as a friend

As an old

Memoria, memoria

Memoria, memoria

Come doused in mud, soaked in bleach

As I want you to be

As a trend, as a friend

As an old

Memoria, memoria

Memoria, memoria

When I swear that I don't have a gun

No I don't have a gun

No I don't have a gun

Memoria, memoria

Memoria, memoria

(And I don't have a gun)

When I swear that I don't have a gun

No I don't have a gun

No I don't have a gun

No I don't have a gun

No I don't have a gun

Memoria, memoria

Burn it to the Ground by Nickelback

I know a lot of people make fun of Nickelback but I think that have some good songs, even a couple of great ones. I think this is one of their better ones but not the best. You'll definitely see more of their music here because I like what I like, I don't make my decisions off of what everybody else thinks.

Well it's midnight, damn right, we're wound up too tight

I've got a fist full of whiskey, the bottle just bit me

Oh

That shit makes me bat shit crazy

We've got no fear, no doubt, all in balls out

We're going off tonight

To kick out every light

Take anything we want

Drink everything in sight

We're going till the world stops turning

While we burn it to the ground tonight

Oh

We're screaming like demons, swinging from the ceiling

I got a fist full of fifties, tequila just hit me

Oh

We got no class, no taste, no shirt, and shit faced

We got it lined up, shot down, firing back straight crown

We're going off tonight

To kick out every light

Take anything we want

Drink everything in sight

We're going till the world stops turning

While we burn it to the ground tonight

Oh

Ticking like a time bomb, drinking till the nights gone

Well get you hands off of this glass, last call my ass

Well no chain, no lock, and this train won't stop

We got no fear, no doubt, all in balls out

We're going off tonight

To kick out every light

Take anything we want

Drink everything in sight

We're going till the world stops turning

While we burn it to the ground tonight

Oh

We're going off tonight

To kick out every light

Take anything we want

Drink everything in sight

We're going till the world stops turning

While we burn it to the ground tonight

Hello, Goodbye by the Beatles

I ended the day with another Beatles song. It's only the 2nd artist to have a second song listed on this blog (so far) and it only happened a day over a week apart from the last Beatles post. If you look to the right, you'll see the all-time top 5 that the last Beatles song is sitting at #1 so we'll see how well this one does.

You say yes, I say no

You say stop and I say go go go, oh no

You say goodbye and I say hello

Hello hello

I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello

Hello hello

I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello

I say high, you say low

You say why and I say I don't know, oh no

You say goodbye and I say hello

(Hello goodbye hello goodbye) Hello hello

(Hello goodbye) I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello

(Hello goodbye hello goodbye) Hello hello

(Hello goodbye) I don't know why you say goodbye

(Hello goodbye) I say hello/goodbye

Why why why why why why do you say goodbye goodbye, oh no?

You say goodbye and I say hello

Hello hello

I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello

Hello hello

I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello

You say yes (I say yes) I say no (But I may mean no)

You say stop (I can stay) and I say go go go (Till it's time to go), oh

Oh no

You say goodbye and I say hello

Hello hello

I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello

Hello hello

I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello

Hello hello

I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello hello

All Out Of Love by Air Supply

I admit, I like a bunch of Air Supply songs. They were one of the great love song makers of the early 80's. Their greatest hits album that dropped in 1983 had hit after hit on it. Every song on it.

Their Greatest Hits album is on my Albums I've Owned page.

I'm lying alone with my head on the phone

Thinking of you till it hurts

I know you hurt too but what else can we do

Tormented and torn apart

I wish I could carry your smile in my heart

For times when my life seems so low

It would make me believe what tomorrow could bring

When today doesn't really know, doesn't really know

[Chorus:]

I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you

I know you were right, believing for so long

I'm all out of love, what am I without you

I can't be too late to say that I was so wrong

I want you to come back and carry me home

Away from these long, lonely nights

I'm reaching for you, are you feeling it too?

Does the feeling seem oh, so right?

And what would you say if I called on you now

And said that I can't hold on?

There's no easy way, it gets harder each day

Please love me or I'll be gone, I'll be gone

[Chorus]

Ooh, what are you thinking of

What are you thinking of

What are you thinking of

What are you thinking of

I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you

I know you were right, believing for so long

I'm all out of love, what am I without you

I can't be too late I know I was so wrong

I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you

I know you were right, believing for so long

I'm all out of love, what am I without you

I can't be too late to I know I was so wrong

[Chorus]
