I Don’t Want to Be

Gavin DeGraw
https://youtu.be/zvlcno07-fY

I don't want to be anything
Other than what I've been tryna be lately
All I have to do is think of me
And I have peace of mind

Wrecking Ball

Joe Walsh
https://youtu.be/YRKQ1-37tVs

You're wound up tight like a hairpin trigger
Just about ready to snap
You're driving 'round like a crash test dummy
All over the map
You're doing this, you're doing that
One thing leads to another
And maybe some day if you ever sleep
You're gonna wake up and discover
Live your life like a wrecking ball
Just get carried away
And then you bounce back from another close call
Live your life like a wrecking ball
You're at the table, it's the same old game
Double up the bet
You keep on hoping that your luck will change
It hasn't happened yet
Live your life like a wrecking ball
Pretty high price to pay
And then you slam into another brick wall
Live your life like a wrecking ball
Live your life like a wrecking ball
Pretty high price to pay
And then you slam into another brick wall
Live your life like a wrecking ball
And you know it's tough to be the last man standing
When you're crawling on the floor
You're coming in for a bumpy landing
Better circle 'round some more
Live your life like a wrecking ball
Just get carried away
And then you bounce back from another close call
Live your life like a wrecking ball

4 Non Blonds

And so I wake in the morning
And I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream from the top of my lungs
What's going on?

The Watchman’s Gone

Gordon Lightfoot
https://youtu.be/SY34R5f97gU

There's a train down at the station
It's come to carry my bones away
Two engines on
Twenty-one coaches long
End to end
Twenty-one coaches bend
The watchman's out
Kickin' the bums about

Morning Yearning

Ben Harper
https://youtu.be/LlNGEpief3Q

Her finger's touch upon my lips
It's a morning yearning
It's a morning yearning
Pull the curtains shut, try to keep it dark
But the sun is burning
The sun is burning

The world awakens on the run
And we'll soon be earning
We'll soon be earning
With hopes of better days to come
That's a morning yearning
Just a morning yearning
Morning yearning

Another day, another chance to get it right
Must I still be learning
Must I still be learning
Baby crying kept us up all night
With her morning yearning
With her morning yearning
Morning yearning

Like a summer rose, I'm a victim of the fall
But I'm soon returning
Soon returning
Your love's the warmest place the sun ever shines
My morning yearning
My morning yearning

Closer to Fine

Indigo Girls
https://youtu.be/HUgwM1Ky228

And I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains
There's more than one answer to these questions
Pointing me in a crooked line
And the less I seek my source for some definitive
The closer I am to fine, yeah
The closer I am to fine, yeah

I'm tryin' to tell you somethin' 'bout my life
Maybe give me insight between black and white
And the best thing you've ever done for me
Is to help me take my life less seriously
It's only life after all, yeah

Well darkness has a hunger that's insatiable
And lightness has a call that's hard to hear
I wrap my fear around me like a blanket
I sailed my ship of safety 'til I sank it
I'm crawling on your shores

And I went to see the doctor of philosophy
With a poster of Rasputin and a beard down to his knee
He never did marry or see a B-Grade movie
He graded my performance, he said he could see through me
I spent four years prostrate to the higher mind
Got my paper and I was free

I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains
There's more than one answer to these questions
Pointing me in a crooked line
And the less I seek my source for some definitive
The closer I am to fine, yeah
The closer I am to fine, yeah

I stopped by the bar at three A.M.
To seek solace in a bottle, or possibly a friend
And I woke up with a headache like my head against a board
Twice as cloudy as I'd been the night before
And I went in seeking clarity

I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains
We go to the doctor, we go to the mountains
We look to the children, we drink from the fountain
Yeah, we go to the Bible, we go through the work out
We read up on revival, we stand up for the lookout
There's more than one answer to these questions
Pointing me in a crooked line
And the less I seek my source for some definitive
The closer I am to fine
The closer I am to fine
The closer I am to fine, yeah

Don’t Forget About Me

Nanci Griffith
https://youtu.be/6Y-WuxDj-94

I can’t be your weather
‘cause’ if it rains then it rains
I can’t be your lover
‘cause’ the feelings would change
I can’t be the wind
‘cause’ the wind blows too free
But if you want a true companion
Don’t forget about me

[Chorus:]
Don’t forget about me
When your heart’s in the shade
When there’s no one to hold you
And you’ve fallen from grace
When the spotlights come blind you
And you can no longer see
I’ll be right there beside you
Don’t forget about me

Friends never leave you
They’re a two way street
They’ll always believe in you
When you’ve ceased to believe
And I’ll still feel the same
If you’re a friend in need
‘cause’, I’ll always love you
Don’t forget about me

Summer's come and gone, whoah oh
Drifting under the dream clouds
Past the broken sun, oh yeah
Yes I've been livin' a long time
To be back beyond

You belong among the wildflowers
You belong in a boat out at sea
Sail away, kill off the hours
You belong somewhere you feel free

Run away, find you a lover
Go away somewhere all bright and new
I have seen no other
Who compares with you

You belong among the wildflowers
You belong in a boat out at sea
You belong with your love on your arm
You belong somewhere you feel free

Run away, go find a lover
Run away, let your heart be your guide
You deserve the deepest of cover
You belong in that home by and by

You belong among the wildflowers
You belong somewhere close to me
Far away from your trouble and worries
You belong somewhere you feel free

You belong somewhere you feel free

The Prince’s Panties

Mason Williams
https://youtu.be/llZDtjaXdNA?si=eO2YzP8MnQWbQryX

There was once a prince who acted strangely in that
He thought life was stupid and it was for him so
He made up a world in which he liked the things we liked
But he had different reasons why he liked them

He liked butter for its color
He would order toast and color
Waitresses, confused would utter
Sir, I've never heard of toast and color

He'd get angry and begin to choke them
The law would come, and they'd arrest and book him
So his life was a mess of trouble
Still he kept it up

He had dogs, a hundred cocker spaniels and he
Called them panties, 'cause they did that mostly, and he
Did not care at all if they would bark and fetch sticks
Run and jump, roll over, and play dead tricks

No, he liked them only for their panting
So he would run them ragged, but one day they got fed up
And chased the prince right up against the fence
And the prince was eaten by his panties

Carly Simon

Why'd you tell me this
Were you looking for my reaction
What do you need to know
Don't you know I'll always be your girl
You don't have to prove to me
You're beautiful to strangers
I've got loving eyes
Of my own
You belong to me
Tell her, tell her you were fooling
You belong to me
You don't even know her
You belong to me
Tell her that I love you
You belong to me
You belong to me
Can it be, honey
You're not sure
You belong to me
Thought we'd closed the book
Locked the door
You don't have to prove to me
That you're beautiful to strangers
I've got loving eyes of my own, of my own
And I can tell
I can tell darling
You belong to me
You belong to me
You belong to me
Baby, I really love you
You belong to me
Tell her, tell her
Tell her she don't know you
You belong to me
You belong to me
You belong to me
You belong to me
Cause you belong to me

For tomorrow you will seek the sun

Sing your song to me, my singing bird
Let your voice ring loud and clear so you'll be heard
Just for the moment I'm asking you to stay
For tomorrow you'll be far away
For tomorrow you'll be far away

Sing your song once more, my singing bird
Let your voice ring loud and clear so you'll be heard
While you're here tonight, we'll be as one
For tomorrow you will seek the sun
Yes tomorrow you will seek the sun

Slow Marching Band

Jethro Tull
https://youtu.be/yBZ6lTiPmgs?si=1LUOgTdyD1DrnYsb

Would you join a slow marching band?
And take pleasure in your leaving
As the ferry sails and tears are dried
And cows come home at evening.
Could you get behind a slow marching band?
And join together in the passing
Of all we shared through yesterdays
In sorrows neverlasting.
Take a hand and take a bow.
You played for me; that's all for now, oh, and never
Mind the words just hum along and keep on going.
Walk on slowly --- don't look behind you.
Don't say goodbye, love. I won't remind you.
Dream of me as the nights draw cold
Still marking time through Winter.
You paid the piper and called the tune
And you marched the band away.
Take a hand and take a bow.
You played for me; that's all for now, oh, and never
Mind the words just hum along and keep on going.
Walk on slowly --- don't look behind you.
Don't say goodbye, love. I won't remind you.

In The Aeroplane Over the Sea

Neutral Milk Hotel
https://youtu.be/1FeD16vu_qQ?si=FpO3nhO4T_KQHJ78

What a beautiful face
I have found in this place
That is circling all 'round the sun
What a beautiful dream
That could flash on the screen
In a blink of an eye and be gone from me
Soft and sweet
Let me hold it close and keep it here with me
And one day we will die
And our ashes will fly from the aeroplane over the sea
But for now we are young
Let us lay in the sun
And count every beautiful thing we can see
Love to be
In the arms of all I'm keepin' here with me
What a curious life
We have found here tonight
There is music that sounds from the street
There are lights in the clouds
Anna's ghost all around
Hear her voice as it's rolling and ringing through me
Soft and sweet
How the notes all bend and reach above the trees
Now how I remember you
How I would push my fingers through
Your mouth to make those muscles move
That made your voice so smooth and sweet
But now we keep where we don't know
All secrets sleep in winter clothes
With one you loved so long ago
Now he don't even know his name
What a beautiful face
I have found in this place
That is circling all 'round the sun
And when we meet on a cloud
I'll be laughing out loud
I'll be laughing with everyone I see
Can't believe how strange it is to be anything at all

Thinking ‘Bout You

Yusuf/Cat Stevens
https://youtu.be/0VwQvcOSuGI?si=FctItSS5blC3QnEw

When I hold your hand, I could fly a zillion miles with you
When I see your grace, I can see all God’s words come true
Every little bird above the haze, and fish beneath the waves,
Knows about you – wouldn’t they do?
When I see your eyes, I can see rainbows in the sky
Being with you, all who’ve parted reunite
Every little pearl drop in the clouds and stones beneath the ground
Are waiting for you – wouldn’t they do?
Whatever you say, lightens up the burden of the day
Whatever you do makes us ever want to follow you
Whatever they say, whatever they do I’ll always love you
Every burning comet that zooms, and angels too
Think about you – wouldn’t they do?
Thinkin’ bout you, I could climb a mountain in the dark
Listening to you, flowers dance in the park
Whatever they say, whatever they do
We’ll always love you
The words that you say, lighten up the burdens of the day
Whatever you do, makes us wanna follow you
Whatever they say, whatever they do
I’ll always love you

Ashes and Embers

Mike Szabo
https://youtu.be/F5zZ_NnJU44?si=XJjgo073S2N7oKCr

It seems fitting that this song comes out today as the residents of Jasper, begin to go back. I can’t begin to fathom what that will be like for them but there are all too many Albertans that can.
Yesterday, on a beauty sunny day, Katy and I had to play inside due to the smoke so yes, this song is coming out when it should.
It is my profound hope that it will somehow help and you can be a big part of that.
Proceeds for this song will go towards the rebuilding efforts in Jasper so please add it to your music libraries and share the heck out of it like or love it on social media and perhaps even email you favourite radio host if you think they should play it.
