Music Choices

I had a very fine few hours of music listening last night
and as unlikely as the 2 choices might seem it worked out well!!

I started out with the sweet music of Sarah McLachlan. I played 'Surfacing' first.
Got a little sad with some of the lyrics...


Some lyrics from the song-

'Do What You Have To Do'

Trying to escape this desire
The yearning to be near you
I do what I have to do

But I have the sense to recognize
That I don’t know how
To let you go
I don’t know how
To let you

within I’m shaken by the violence
Of existing for only you
I know I can’t be with you
I do what I have to do...





...Then I played 'Afterglow' by Sarah. This is probably my favorite of her CDs


some lyrics from

'Fallen'

...Truth be told I've tried my best
But somewhere along the way
I got caught up in all there was to offer
And the cost was so much more than I could bear

Though I've tried, I've fallen...
I have sunk so low
I have messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so...

This lady's music just touches me so...



Well, to top off the late night of music I played Disk one of 'Live At Leeds", by the great "WHO!"
What could be better than the original ' WHO ' IN CONCERT?



Some lyrics of The Who's Pete Townshend:


'Substitute'

You think we look pretty good together
You think my shoes are made of leather

But I'm a substitute for another guy
I look pretty tall but my heels are high
The simple things you see are all complicated
I look pretty young, but I'm just back-dated, yeah


Substitute me for him
Substitute my coke for gin
Substitute you for my mum
At least I'll get my washing done


(...And you thought PETE wasn't a sensitive guy... :) )





Great night of music!! :)
