Hi everyone, i figured since this is a kitchen party, we should get some singin happenin, you may for example post you favorite GBS verses or lyrics and all whatnots of the like! Ok, me first *ahem* "You know that she wants to try, never lets you see her cry/ You know that she wants to try, she's got seagulls in her eyes" frum Seagulls on the Play album (favorite song<3)

"Of course it's hard to see the sun when you're covering your eyes"

Beautiful artwork, Brittany!  I love that song too, even though it's a little bit depressing. 

One of my favorite lines in a GBS song is "pile your boots up in the corner, hang your jacket from the door, there's thirty people in the kitchen, and there's always room for more!"

~Life will be all that you make it~

Because my son has had to deal with so much adversity in his life, having Asperger's syndrome, this line reminds me of him and is my favourite...'...they can say what they want, she won't stop trying ;She may stumble if they push her 'round, she may fall, but she'll never lie down, it's not so bad'.

Some people shine like a star in the first moment. Others keep their light hidden until they are ready to show us.

I agree with that. That was my theme song when we were going through the worst with Alex.

I always forget about this one until i put the cd in and listen but it speaks volumes and is a fun song:

"It takes a lot to get to the top, And a little just to fall off quick
And I think I've seen you here before.

Sometimes you fly so high, So fast it makes you sick
You won the battle and lost the war

But I don't mind if you say, Every time you talk to me
Every time we talk

We came, we saw
We conquered and crumbled
In our own true way
We loved, we fought
We rocked and we tumbled
In our own true way

............................

You heard 'em tellin' stupid jokes
You heard 'em laugh every time you spoke
But you don't let nobody put you down."

It's been a tough  time  for me  healthwise these  past  18 months(arthritis and  COPD),  but  things  have  started  clicking  and  I truly feel  as  if I am stepping  out of a  fog. Things I thought  I had  lost  forever, dreams  I  had  been  forced  to set aside...  I can now  see  the  Possibilities that  life holds. Much of the  last  year and  a  half  are still  shrouded in  a  mist and there  are  literally  parts  I have  no memory of,  but I am so  thankful  to be  where  I am  at This Moment. So the song  that  echoes  in my heart.....

"Fog  lifts to reveal potential.............Feel  it  turn......"

Everyone  sing  with me!!!

Sing loud wherever your journey takes you ~ Great Big Sea 2004

"Half an hour of sunshine is worth a week of rain." "Shines Right Through Me" from Something Beautiful "'Cause they said they'd stop the fighting And they said they would bring peace And they said they'd find a serum that can cure all our disease. And they said they'd house the homeless And put black and white in tune And they said they'd feed a hungry child And I hope it's someday soon" -"Someday Soon" from GBS [debut]

Half an hour of sunshine is worth a week of rain.

"Libraries have always been home to me. They have seemed not inhibiting, not scary, but veritable lighthouses of Utopian order and generosity amid the clutter and ignorance and selfishness of so much of the life that is lived in this world."

Robert Hughes
Time Magazine

With the Presidential elections coming up, that's a song to be thinking about.

"I would not want to be the person who was on the wrong end of a pissed off Hanson fan." ~ blog@hanson.net

Heh, if we're looking for a theme song for that, I nominate "Nothing Out of Nothing."

If nothing else, no matter what happens, I'll have a great excuse to say, "Shag it all - I am moving to Canada, eh!"  

good idea for a thread for sure....

 

the work it is hard and the hours are long...but my spirit is willing, my back it is strong...and when the works over the whiskey we'll pour...we'll dance with the girls upon some foreign shore....(Wave Over Wave)

 

i think this verse sums up life and how everyone should look at it in 4 lines, who knew it was that simple.

I had the time of my life and the life of my time in the company of fools. (My college experience)

It's up to you now if you sink or swim,

just keep the faith that your ship will come in- it's not so bad ! 

Way hey hey it's just an ordinary day- it's all your state of mind

At the end of the day you just gotta say it's alright!

Can't tell you how many times a day I sing this (sometimes out loud..in front of other people!!)..I've given it to alot of my friends too.

The middle of nowhere's where I likes it best...





If life was fair Elvis would be alive and all the impersonators would be dead...Johnny Carson

Let it Go Let it Go
This is smaller than you know
No bigger than a pebble lying on a gravel road
Let it Go Let it Go
Got to leave it all behind you
Give the sun a chance to find you
Let it Go

How can a man not see
It seems so clear to me
You've just got to live and learn
Smile at the simple stuff
This road ain't long enough
To miss a single turn

i love that song, i like the part when it gets quiet and thats all you hear is 'let it go, let it go..." Something beautiful is my favorite album, wait no! Hard and the easy-or wait Up- or-GAAH *head pops*
