Song(s) of the week #2

I'm so excited, it's Wednesday and I get to tell you about my favourite music... I just couldn't pick only one song this week... so I've chosen my favourite (non-Christian) songs... that I'm also hatching a plan for...

As I mentioned last week I love to sing, and I harbour a not-so-secret ambition to earn money for my singing ability.  I do not want to be famous, but I'd like to be respected for my craft...

Well, here goes... listen & look out for my debut album one day, it might go something like this:

1. Breath in Now (George)
2. Morning Theft (Jeff Buckley)
3. Walk On (U2)
4. Dancing Lessons (Sinead O'Connor)
5. Lovefool (I scored "Superstar" on SingStar for that one!) (The Cardigans)
6. Heal Me (Lior)
7. Now We're Getting Somewhere (Crowded House)
8. Rhythm & Blues Alibi (Gomez)
9. Heartbeat & Sails (Augie March)
10. Planet Earth (Eskimo Joe)
11. Sometimes (Michael Franti)
12. You Make it Easy (Air)
13. You Made me the Thief of Your Heart (Sinead O'Connor sings it, but I don't think she wrote it)
14. No More (not sure of the artist for this one either...)

I'll give you the lyrics for Breath in Now for a start....

I see love and beauty all around
I also see the sadness that’s embedded in your frown
I wonder why you choose not to talk to those who surround
I sense of fear of lifting heavy feet higher than you want to 
I just want to believe you’re true

You stand there but you do not cast a shadow
You walk away with every word you choose not to say
I suppose I’m moving on paint some new colour for each day
I don’t like to see dreams put on the shelf to deal with on that one day
I just want to be happy for you

  Because I only have one second this minute today
  I can’t press rewind and turn it back and call it now
  And so this moment I just have to sing out loud
  And say I love, I like and breath in now
  And say I love I live and breath in now

I move on holding on to what I’ve learned
It’s time to let go of the notion that the whole worlds against me
Break free of shackles that formed young
Time free and now, and now I know 
It’s not all up to me 
I can count on another
So move on lighter and be free

‘Cause I only have one second this minute today
  I can’t press rewind and turn it back and call it now
  And so this moment I just have to sing out loud
  And say I love, I like and breath in now
  And say I love I live and breath in
I believe in for today
I just want to know that you’re ok
‘Cause I believe in breathing just for today
I just want to know that you’re ok

Because I only have one second this minute today
  I can’t press rewind and turn it back and call it now
  And so this moment I just have to sing out loud
  And say I love, I like and breath in now
And say I love, I like and breath in now
And say I love, I live and breath in now

Requsests for mix-tapes (CDs these days) acceptable, but you'll have to manage with the originals for now... stay tuned for my versions!
