Post #626: Funland - "Fall Away" - Sweetness

I've got the day off, and I was handed a $1000 bonus check on my way out the door last night... life doesn't get much better than that!!  So before I head out to spend some of the good fortune that I happened upon and to see where the day takes me, I figured I'd share a song by '90s Dallas band, Funland, with you.  Sorry, folks, there are no lyrics to be found.  However, I did scan the liner notes of the CD for you to gaze upon and have placed them where the lyrics normally go in my posts... Don't say I never did anything for you!!! ;-)

Until next time...

XOXOXO

Post #625 - Ned's Atomic Dustbin - "Trust" - Intact - The Singles Collection

It's been ages since I've posted randomly in the middle of the week, and it's also been ages since I've shared any Ned's Atomic Dustbin with you... four (4) years almost.  Therefore, I present to you "Trust" and "Intact"... just because I've been in the mood for a little Ned's lately... so enjoy!!!

Until next time...

This simple ongoing concern
Is becoming a growing, growing concern
Now something is wrong
This patience has gone

All I know is we've lost control he says
I lay no blame but it's not the same she says

This simple ongoing concern
Is becoming a painful and pointless return
The things that they're sick of
They're scared to be rid of

All I know is we've lost control he says
I lay no blame but it's not the same she says

Did his worst to her she guessed
Did his worst to her she guessed
Did his worst to her she guessed
Ohh, they couldn't careless
They couldn't careless

All I know is we've lost control he says
I lay no blame but it's not the same she says

Post #624: Bob Marley - "Three Little Birds" - Exodus

Carter turned three (3) today... I absolutely adore that kid (bumps and bruises on his forehead and all)... and I so look forward to the day that I get to take him to see Mickey Mouse like I promised him the day he was born... Oh, and did you happen to catch the reference to "three little birds" in last week's song lyrics?

Until next time...

XOXOXO

"Don't worry about a thing
'Cause every little thing gonna be alright
Singing' "Don't worry about a thing
'Cause every little thing gonna be alright!"

Rise up this mornin'
Smiled with the risin' sun
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true
Saying', ("This is my message to you")

Singing' "Don't worry 'bout a thing
'Cause every little thing gonna be alright."
Singing' "Don't worry (don't worry) 'bout a thing
'Cause every little thing gonna be alright!"

Rise up this mornin'
Smiled with the risin' sun
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true
Sayin', "This is my message to you"

Singin' "Don't worry about a thing, worry about a thing, oh!
Every little thing gonna be alright. Don't worry!"
Singin' "Don't worry about a thing" I won't worry!
"'Cause every little thing gonna be alright."

Singin' "Don't worry about a thing
'Cause every little thing gonna be alright" I won't worry!
Singin' "Don't worry about a thing
Cause every little thing gonna be alright."
Singin' "Don't worry about a thing, oh no!
'Cause every little thing gonna be alright!

Post #623: Corinne Bailey Rae - "Put Your Records On" - Corinne Bailey Rae

Sorry that I have been out of touch... I've been enjoying life for the first time in a very long time!!  You have no idea how amazing it is to be able to keep my blinds open without neighbors peeping in all day.  Oh my goodness, and to be able to back in and out of my garage without having to maneuver around my neighbors' cars has been nothing less than heavenly!!!

Since some of you have been asking, here are a few quick snapshots of my new place:

RETRO INSPIRED BEDROOM/BATHROOM

MOULIN ROUGE INSPIRED LIVING AREA

BALCONY VIEWS

But that's not even the best part... the best part is that I got my grandmother's 1988 Murray bicycle tuned-up and outfitted with brand new whitewall tires.  So, inspired by today's song and video, I am about to take a spin around the lake...  Hope life is treating you well these days, too!

[***And as a life bonus (or possibly Karma points), my landlord took one look at my old place, told me that he could not believe how amazing it still looked after living there for eight (8) years, and proceeded to return every penny of my $500 deposit... I stood there with my mouth completely gaping wide open!!!***]

Until next time...

Three little birds sat on my window.
And they told me I don't need to worry.
Summer came like cinnamon
So sweet,
Little girls double-dutch on the concrete.

Maybe sometimes we've got it wrong, but it's alright
The more things seem to change, the more they stay the same
Oh, don't you hesitate.

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.

You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow.

Blue as the sky, sunburnt and lonely,
Sipping tea in a bar by the roadside,
(just relax, just relax)
Don't you let those other boys fool you,
Got to love that afro hair do.

Maybe sometimes we feel afraid, but it's alright
The more you stay the same, the more they seem to change.
Don't you think it's strange?

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.

You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow.

'Twas more than I could take, pity for pity's sake
Some nights kept me awake, I thought that I was stronger
When you gonna realise, that you don't even have to try any longer?
Do what you want to.

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.

Oh, you're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow
