The Who: Baba O'Riley

July 14, 2012

Tweet: Song of the Day: "Baba O'Riley", by The Who. Get in the car and turn the volume right up. ‪#roadtrip‬ ‪#michigansunset‬

Out here in the fields I fight for my meals I get my back into my living I don't need to fight To prove I'm right I don't need to be forgiven Don't cry Don't raise your eye It's only teenage wasteland Sally ,take my hand Travel south cross land Put out the fire Don't look past my shoulder The exodus is here The happy ones are near Let's get together Before we get much older Teenage wasteland It's only teenage wasteland Teenage wasteland Oh, oh Teenage wasteland They're all wasted!

City of Prague Philharmonic: Eternal Father, Strong To Save

October 28, 2011

Tweet:  Song Of The Day: "Eternal Father, Strong to Save", City of Prague Philarmonic Orchestra & Crouch End Festival Chorus. #deep

Eternal Father, strong to save, Whose arm hath bound the restless wave, Who biddest the mighty ocean deep Its own appointed limits keep; Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee, For those in peril on the sea!

O Christ! Whose voice the waters heard And hushed their raging at Thy Word, Who walked on the foaming deep, And calm amidst its rage didst sleep; Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee, For those in peril on the sea!

Most Holy Spirit! Who didst brood Upon the chaos dark and rude, And bid its angry tumult cease, And give, for wild confusion, peace; Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee, For those in peril on the sea!

O Trinity of love and power! Our family shield in danger’s hour; From rock and tempest, fire and foe, Protect us wheresoever we go; Thus evermore shall rise to Thee Glad hymns of praise from land and sea.

Personal Note: This hymn was in the film Crimson Tide and Titanic

Huey Lewis & The News: The Power Of Love

October 27, 2011

Tweet: Song Of The Day: "The Power of Love", Huey Lewis & The News. Takin you right back! Why? Because it's awesome. The song and the power.

The power of love is a curious thing Make a one man weep, make another man sing Change a hawk to a little white dove More than a feeling that's the power of love

Tougher than diamonds, rich like cream Stronger and harder than a bad girl's dream Make a bad one good make a wrong one right Power of love that keeps you home at night

You don't need money, don't take fame Don't need no credit card to ride this train It's strong and it's sudden and it's cruel sometimes But it might just save your life That's the power of love That's the power of love

First time you feel it, it might make you sad Next time you feel it it might make you mad But you'll be glad baby when you've found That's the power makes the world go'round

And it don't take money, don't take fame Don't need no credit card to ride this train It's strong and it's sudden it can be cruel sometimes But it might just save your life

They say that all in love is fair Yeah, but you don't care But you know what to do When it gets hold of you And with a little help from above You feel the power of love You feel the power of love Can you feel it ? Hmmm

It don't take money and it don't take fame Don't need no credit card to ride this train Tougher than diamonds and stronger than steel You won't feel nothin' till you feel You feel the power, just the power of love That's the power, that's the power of love You feel the power of love You feel the power of love Feel the power of love

Bon Iver: Holocene

October 26, 2011

Tweet: Song Of The Day: "Holocene", Bon Iver. The rain and cold in London provokes reflection. Look out of the window, and gaze at the sky.

Lyrics:

"Someway, baby, it's part of me, apart from me." You're laying waste to Halloween You fucked it friend, it's on it's head, it struck the street You're in Milwaukee, off your feet ... and at once I knew I was not magnificent Strayed above the highway aisle Jagged vacant, thick without us I could see for miles, miles, miles 3rd and Lake it burnt away, the hallway Was where we learned to celebrate Automatic bought the years you'd talk for me That night you played me ʻLip Paradeʼ Not the needle, nor the thread, the lost decree Saying nothing, that's enough for me ... and at once I knew I was not magnificent Hulled far from the highway aisle (Jagged, vacance, thick with ice) I could see for miles, miles, miles Christmas night, it clutched the light, the hallow bright Above my brother, I entangled spines We smoked the screen to make it what it was to be Now to know it in my memory: ... and at once I knew I was not magnificent High above the highway aisle (Jagged vacance, thick with ice) I could see for miles, miles, miles
