[Please note: There are a LOT of much better vocal versions of this on YouTube, but this is one of the better performances, which is why it was selected for the post. I have selected a vocal for the “Songs, Lyrics and Videos” page of my site. — KMAB] | |

Sometimes you love a person so much you have to walk away. Sometimes, for them; sometimes for you. This song reminds me of that… | |

My wife and I were walking our dog this morning and a “techno / hopped-up” version of this classic R&B song was blasting out of a garage. I HAD to listen to the original – so I thought I’d share it… | |
Enjoy! (The lyrics are also available on my “poems / song lyrics and videos” page.) | |

I grew up with divorced parents, back in the day when 90% of marriages / parents stayed together. My mom raised my sister, brother and me all on her own. It was difficult. We were a handful. I appreciate it more every year (particularly now that my own three are full grown). The song / video below is about a dad who looks after his son. When I hear it, though, I hear a song about a parent / provider who looks after his (or her) children. Happy 92nd Birthday, mom. Thanks for being my role model. | |
Love, | |
Kevin | |

The towels were so thick there I could hardly close my suitcase. | |
— Yogi Berra | |
[Today my wife will be boarding a jet to go visit her family back in Liverpool. Her mum isn’t doing too well these days and this may be Hil’s last chance to be with her before her mum passes. The trip will be sad for Hil and lonely for me as she will be away for seven weeks. As with every separation, I miss her before she has even gone. Sometimes, I’m just silly that way… | |
PS: Today’s post title is a line from the song: “Ferry Cross The Mersey“, by Gerry and the Pacemakers. Liverpool sits on the north shore of the River Mersey estuary. LOL …And so ends the combo musical lyrics and geography lesson for today. — KMAB] | |

To keep ourselves totally apart so as not to become sullied is the most sullied thing of all. | |

The deepest need of man is the need to overcome his separateness, to leave the prison of his aloneness. | |

Performed by: Rusted Root | |
Songwriters: James Di Spirito, James Donovan, Jenn Wertz, Jim Dispirito, Jim Donovan, John Buynak, Liz Berlin, Michael Glabicki and Patrick Norman | |
[The group was asked about the lyrics to this song and Glabicki said some non-sense sounds / phrases were used as placeholders until real lyrics could be added, but the song sounded “right” the way it was, so they produced the song without replacing the sounds with real words / lyrics. Chaos theory at its best! — KMAB] | |

Every Time I Think I’m Falling
Posted in Faith Family and Friends, Family and Friends, Included Video, Lyrics, Videos, tagged All I Am -- video, I Can Love You Like That, Jess Glynne, Music Video, My Poems Page on December 5, 2018| Leave a Comment »
LOL!! Sometimes it’s difficult making decisions about what song / video to put as the Anniversary / Birthday / Holiday tune. This was my “alternate” song for a couple of days ago when Hil and I had our 34th wedding anniversary. It wasn’t that I liked this song less; just that I’d liked the one I eventually chose (“I Can Love You Like That“) for much longer… | |
And the lyrics I particularly liked: | |
Every time I think I’m falling | |
I know you’re falling too | |
There’s no doubt you’re all in | |
If you ever think you’re falling | |
You know I’ll catch you too | |
‘Cause all I am is you | |

If I Had a Hammer |
|
If I had a hammer | |
I’d hammer in the morning | |
I’d hammer in the evening | |
All over this land | |
I’d hammer out danger | |
I’d hammer out a warning | |
I’d hammer out love between | |
My brothers and my sisters | |
All over this land, uh | |
If I had a bell | |
I’d ring it in the morning | |
I’d ring it in the evening | |
All over this land | |
I’d ring out danger | |
I’d ring out a warning | |
I’d ring out love between | |
My brothers and my sisters | |
All over this land, oh | |
If I had a song | |
I’d sing it in the morning | |
I’d sing it in the evening | |
All over this land | |
I’d sing out danger | |
I’d sing of out a warning | |
I’d sing out the love between | |
My brothers and my sisters | |
All over this land, oh | |
Well, I’ve got a hammer | |
And I’ve got a bell | |
And I’ve got a song to sing | |
All over this land | |
It’s the hammer of justice | |
It’s the bell of freedom | |
It’s a song about love between | |
My brothers and my sisters | |
All over this land | |
It’s a hammer of justice | |
It’s a bell of freedom | |
It’s a song about love between | |
My brothers and my sisters | |
All over this land | |

“(You’re My) Soul And Inspiration” |
|
Girl, | |
I can’t let you do this | |
Let you walk away | |
Girl, | |
how can I live through this? | |
When you’re all I wake up for each day baby | |
You’re my soul | |
and my heart’s inspiration | |
You’re all I got | |
to get me by | |
You’re my soul | |
and my heart’s inspiration | |
Without you baby | |
what good am I? | |
I never had much going | |
But at least I had you | |
How can you walk out knowing | |
I ain’t got nothing left if you do, baby | |
You’re my soul | |
and my heart’s inspiration | |
You’re all I got | |
to get me by | |
You’re my soul | |
and my heart’s inspiration | |
Without you baby | |
what good am I? | |
Oh, what good am I? | |
Baby, | |
I can’t make it without you | |
And I’m, | |
I’m telling you honey | |
You’re my reason | |
for laughing, | |
for crying | |
For living | |
and for dying | |
Baby, | |
I can’t make it without you | |
Please, | |
I’m begging you baby | |
If you go | |
it will kill me, | |
I swear it | |
Girl, | |
I just can’t bear it | |
You’re my soul | |
and my heart’s inspiration | |
You’re all I got | |
to get me by | |
You’re my soul | |
and my heart’s inspiration | |
Without you baby | |
what good am I? | |
What good am I? | |
Mmmmm | |
