    I can't get this song and video out of my head....

    http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=OV4V46r_fUc



    It's ok, I'll do what I want
    If I choose, I can take the fall
    There's a choice
    It's my destiny
    In my hands
    Yeah it's up to me
    I can drive
    I can shoot a gun in the streets
    Score me some heroin
    I can jump
    Be the sacrifice
    Bear my cross just like Jesus Christ
    And I don't wanna hear what love can do
    No, I ain't gonna tell ya what's right for you
    Is it right to take the easy way
    Close your eyes
    Get on your knees and pray
    Now you're saved by a higher voice
    Givin' up, givin' up, givin' up your choice
    If I'm wrong then I'll pay for it
    If I'm right, yeah you're gonna hear about it
    But I've tried, yeah I've tried for it
    I tried, I tried, 'til I'm satisfied
    And I......
    I'm tired of hearing what love can do
    and I.....
    Ain't gonna tell you what's right for you
    I've seen the damage done
    Down with the shotgun
    Don't stop the setting sun on my kingdom come
    Ohhhh.......
    Is it right to take the easy way
    I don't know
    I get on your knees and pray
    Now I'm saved by a higher voice
    Givin' up, givin' up, givin' up my choice
    If I'm wrong then I'll pay for it
    If I'm right, yeah you're gonna deal with it
    'cause I've tried, yeah I tried for it
    I tried, I tried, even die for it
    No I.....
    Don't wanna hear what love can do
    No I....
    I can't tell you what's right for you
    Oh I.... I... I.....
    Tell you what love can do
    No I... I... I...
    Can't say but your time is through
    I've seen the damage done
    Oh Lord, I've heard the shotgun
    I fought the setting sun on my kingdom come
    Ohhh.......
    Don't tell me what love can do
    Hey, hey, hey
    Don't tell me what love can do
    Hey, hey, hey

    He said, "Son, have you seen the world?
    Well, what would you say if I said that you could?
    Just carry this gun, you'll even get paid"
    I said, "That sounds pretty good"

    Black leather boots, spit shined so bright
    They cut off my hair but it looks alright
    We marched and we sang
    We all became friends as we learned how to fight

    A hero of war, yeah that's what I'll be
    And when I come home they'll be damn proud of me
    I'll carry this flag to the grave if I must
    'Cause it's flag that I love and a flag that I trust

    I kicked in the door, I yelled my commands
    The children they cried but I got my man
    We took him away, a bag over his face
    From his family and his friends

    They took off his clothes, they pissed in his hands
    I told them to stop but then I joined in
    We beat him with guns and batons
    Not just once but again and again

    A hero of war, yeah that's what I'll be
    And when I come home they'll be damn proud of me
    I'll carry this flag to the grave if I must
    'Cause it's flag that I love and a flag that I trust

    She walked through bullets and haze
    I asked her to stop, I begged her to stay
    But she pressed on
    So I lifted my gun and I fired away

    And the shells jumped through the smoke
    And into the sand that the blood now had soaked
    She collapsed with a flag in her hand
    A flag white as snow

    A hero of war is that what they see
    Just medals and scars, so damn proud of me
    And I brought home that flag, now it gathers dust
    But it's a flag that I love, it's the only flag I trust

    He said, "Son, have you seen the world?
    Well, what would you say if I said that you could?"

    Ben Harper

    "Roses From My Friends"

    I could have treated you better
    but you couldn't have treated me worse
    but it's he who laughs last
    is he who cries first

    Sometimes I feel I know strangers
    better than I know my friends
    why must a beginning
    be the means to an end

    The stones from my enemies
    these wounds will mend
    but I cannot survive
    the roses from my friends

    When the last word has been spoken
    and we've beared witness to the final setting sun
    all that shall remain is a token
    of what we've said and done

    When all we've had has been forsaken
    distant church bells no longer ring
    that's the sound of a heart taken
    and the story of tears from a king

    The stones from my enemies
    these wounds will mend
    but I cannot survive
    the roses from my friends

    This may be the last time I see you
    forgive me for holding you close
    this may be the last time that I see you
    so of this moment I will make the most

    This may be the last time I see you
    but if you keep me in your heart
    together we shall be eternal
    if you believe
    we shall never part

    The stones from my enemies
    these wounds will mend
    but I cannot survive
    the roses from my friends

    Sunfest Festival 2012 with Michael and the band on a picture perfect day in West Palm Beach on the Intercoastal.

    This song was made to pick anyone on a bad day as hung out for the rest of the day with the band.

    HEY, HEY, HEY....

    When they kick out your front door
    How you gonna come?
    With your hands on your head
    Or on the trigger of your gun

    When the law break in
    How you gonna go?
    Shot down on the pavement
    Or waiting in death row

    You can crush us
    You can bruise us
    But you'll have to answer to
    Oh, Guns of Brixton

    The money feels good
    And your life you like it well
    But surely your time will come
    As in heaven, as in hell

    You see, he feels like Ivan
    BORN under the Brixton sun
    His game is called survivin'
    At the end of the harder they come

    You know it means no mercy
    They caught him with a gun
    No need for the Black Maria
    Goodbye to the Brixton sun

    You can crush us
    You can bruise us
    But you'll have to answer to
    Oh-the guns of Brixton

    When they kick out your front door
    How you gonna come?
    With your hands on your head
    Or on the trigger of your gun

    You can crush us
    You can bruise us
    And even shoot us
    But oh- the guns of Brixton

    Shot down on the pavement
    Waiting in death row
    His game was survivin'
    As in heaven as in hell

    You can crush us
    You can bruise us
    But you'll have to answer to
    Oh, the guns of Brixton
    Oh, the guns of Brixton
    Oh, the guns of Brixton
    Oh, the guns of Brixton
    Oh, the guns of Brixton

    Takes a second to say goodbye
    Say goodbye, oh, oh, oh
    It takes a second to say goodbye
    Say goodbye, oh, oh, oh, say bye bye
    Where you going to now

    Lightning flashes across the sky
    East to west, do or die
    Like a thief in the night
    See the world by candlelight

    Fall, rise and fall, rise and

    In an apartment on Time Square
    You can assemble them anywhere
    Held to ransom, Hell to pay
    A revolution everyday

    USSR, DDR, London, New York, Peking
    It's the puppets, it's the puppets
    Who pull the strings, yeah

    Fall, rise and fall, rise and

    Say goodbye, say goodbye
    Say goodbye, say goodbye
    Say goodbye

    It takes a second to say goodbye
    Oh, say goodbye, oh, oh, oh
    Push the button and pull the plug
    Say goodbye, oh, oh, oh

    Fall, rise and fall, rise and

    And they're doing the atomic bomb
    Do they know where the dance comes from
    Yes, they're doing the atomic bomb
    They want you to sing along

    Say goodbye, say goodbye
    Say goodbye, say goodbye

    A song about the future and its immense possibilities....not our debt ceiling.

    http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=w8Zsd_VhjN0


    It's not the heat
    It's the inhumanity
    Plugged into the sweat of a summer street
    Machine gun images pass
    Like malice through the looking glass

    The slack jaw gaze
    Of true profanity
    Feels more like surrender than defeat
    If culture is the curse of the thinking class
    If culture is the curse of the thinking class

    Ceiling unlimited
    World so wide
    Turn an' turn again
    Turn again

    Feeling unlimited
    Still unsatisfied
    Changes never end
    Never end

    The vacant smile
    Of true insanity
    Dressed up in the mask of tragedy
    Programmed for the guts and glands
    Of idle minds and idle hands

    I rest my case
    Or at least my vanity
    Dressed up in the mask of comedy
    If laughter is a straw for a drowning man
    If laughter is a straw for a drowning man

    Ceiling unlimited
    Windows open wide
    Look and look again
    Look again

    Feeling unlimited
    Eyes on the prize
    Changes never end
    Never end

    Winding like an ancient river
    The time is now again
    Winding like an ancient river
    The time is now again
    The time is now again
    The time is now again

    The time is now again
    The time is now again
    The time is now again
    The time is now again
    The time is now again

    Ceiling unlimited
    World so wide
    Turn an' turn again
    Turn again

    Feeling unlimited
    Still unsatisfied
    Changes never end
    Never end

    Changes never end
    (Winding like an ancient river)
    Never end
    Winding like an ancient river
    Winding like an endless river
    The time is now again
    (Winding like an ancient river)
    Winding like an ancient river
    The time is now again

    Hope is like an endless river
    The time is now again
    The time is now again
    The time is now again
    The time is now again

    I am tired; my heart is
    sick and sad. From where
    the sun stands I will fight

    gotta take a break
    This has been one of my favorites EVER, since the first time I happened upon it.

    What is life without love
    Now that you have come to this world
    Love each other, one another


    Amen to that, and thanks :)

    Gonna save you, fucker
  • to Jennifer M...


    So take it as a song
    or a lesson to learn
    And sometime soon
    be better than you were
    If you say you're gonna go,
    then be careful
    And watch how you treat
    every living soul

    My eyes can't look at you
    any other way,
    Any other way,
    any other way
    When eyes can't look at you
    any other way,
    Any other way,
    any other way

  • It's looking like a limb torn off
    Or altogether just
    taken apart
    We're reeling through an endless fall
    We are
    the ever-living ghost of what once was

    But no one
    is ever gonna love you more than I do
    No one's gonna love you more than I do

    And anything to make you smile
    It is my better side
    of you to admire
    But they should never take so long
    Just to be over then
    back to another one

    But no one
    is ever gonna love you more than I do
    No one's gonna love you more than I do

    But someone,
    They could have warned you
    When things start splitting at the seams and now
    The whole thing's tumbling down
    Things start splitting at the seams and now
    If things start splitting at the seams and now,
    It's tumbling down
    Hard.

    Anything to make you smile
    You are
    the ever-living ghost of
    what once was
    I never want to hear you say
    That you'd be better off
    Or you liked it that way

    But no one
    is ever gonna love you more than I do
    No one's gonna love you more than I do

    But someone
    They should have warned you
    When things start splitting at the seams and now

    This got to me, unexpectedly.

    Felt almost like "Wash".

    Froze me, released some tears I didn't realize were there till they came.

    Just...beauty. Exactly what I needed.


    Maybe there’s a God above
    But all I’ve ever learned from love
    Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you

    It’s not a cry you can hear at night
    It’s not somebody who has seen the light
    It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah

    Hallelujah, Hallelujah
    Hallelujah, Hallelujah

    You say I took the name in vain
    I don't even know the name
    But if I did, well, really, what's it to you?
    There's a blaze of light in every word
    It doesn't matter which you heard
    The holy or the broken Hallelujah

    The 7:00 mark really got me - "I'll stand before the lord of song"

    Hell yeah...have, am, and will.

    (also, I defy anyone to refute it was Gordon Ramsay wailing away on the organ)
  • yeah that was great :)

    Watch the world argue
    Argue with itself
    Who's going to teach me
    Peace and happiness

    We could sit here forever
    Just never get old
    Listen to the world
    Letting gods tie us down

    Hit cities sharp knives
    The right clothing
    Dancing on the jetty
    So our feet stay dry

    Watch the world argue
    Argue with itself
    Who's going to teach me
    Peace and happiness
    Watch the world argue
    Argue with itself
    Who's going to teach me
    Peace and happiness

    Blood is upon the steps
    Two thousand years ago
    Play like hell that we go to fight
    Another war in the holy land

    Shock the world
    True story
    Snap decisions
    And I'm always going
    We're gonna watch them keep it strong

    Watch the world argue
    Argue with itself
    Who's going to teach me
    Peace and happiness
    Watch the world argue
    Argue with itself
    Who's going to teach me
    Peace and happiness

    We're making trouble
    We change tracks
    Put the suit down
    Daytime or day no less

    We hit cities sharp knives
    The right clothing
    Dancing on the jetty
    So our feet stay dry

    Watch the world argue
    Argue with itself
    Who's going to teach me
    Peace and happiness
    Watch the world argue
    Argue with itself
    Who's going to teach me
    Peace and happiness

    We hate each other 'cause of race and religion
    We hate each other 'cause of class and position
    We want to know why is love so hard to come by
    Give me a reason why you love so hard to try

    The walls between us all must fall
    The walls between us all must fall

    We hate each other 'cause we dance to different music
    We hate each other 'cause we think we know it all
    We hate each other 'cause that's what our parents taught us
    We hate each other for no reason at all

    The wall between us all must fall
    The wall between us all must fall

    We teach our young men how to kill and name and torture
    We teach our young men how to make their mothers cry
    We want to know why is love so hard to come by?
    Give me the answer, why is love so hard to try?

    The wall between us all must fall
    The wall between us all must fall

    This is how our world breaks down...
    The wall between us all must fall
    This is how our world breaks down...
    The wall between us all must fall
