Artist : Jamie O'Neal
Song : Somebody's Hero
Lyrics :
She's never pulled anyone from a burning building
She's never rocked Central Park to a half a million fans, screaming out her name
She's never hit a shot to win the game
She's never left her footprints on the moon
She's never made a solo hot air balloon ride, around the world,
No, she's just your everyday average girl (but)
She's somebody's hero
A hero to her baby with a skinned up knee
A little kiss is all she needs
The keeper of the cheerios
The voice that brings Snow White to life
Bedtime stories every night
And that smile lets her know
She's somebody's hero
She didn't get a check every week like a nine-to fiver
But she's been a waiter, and a cook and a taxi driver
For twenty years, there at home, until the day her girl was grown
Giving all her love to her was her life's ambition
But now her baby's movin' on, and she'll soon be missin' her
But not today, those are tears of joy runnin' down her face
She's somebody's hero
A hero to her daughter in her wedding dress
She gave her wings to leave the nest
It hurts to let her baby go down the aisle she walks right by
Looks back into her mother's eyes
And that smile lets her know
She's somebody's hero
Thirty years have flown right past
Her daughters' starin' at all the photographs
Of her mother, and she wishes she could be like that
Oh, but she already is
She's somebody's hero
A hero to her mother in a rockin' chair
She runs a brush through her silver hair
The envy of the nursing home
She drops by every afternoon
Feeds her mama with a spoon
And that smile lets her know
Her mother's smile lets her know
She's somebody's hero
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Artist: Terri Clark
Song: She Didn't Have Time
Lyrics :
He said goodbye from the edge of the porch
like she'd been some casual friend
he said "your better off with out me
i'm not what you need"
like her momma had said about him
he started the car
pulled out of the drive
didn't waste any time lookin' back
she watched him go
thinkin' even a stranger
would show more compassion than that
she could've cried but she didn't have time
she had a baby to feed
a pink blanket to find
to rock their little one to sleep
she could've laid in bed for hours
giving misery the power
but she didn't have time
she got a sitter, she got a job
'cause she had a promise to keep
her day was a factory and evening survival
at night was exhaustion and sleep
sometimes she felt life was passing her by
and watching was all she could do
her friends said "you gotta get outta the house
and maybe you'll meet someone new"
she could've tried
but she didn't have time
she had a five year old to feed
she had ballet class, piano lessons
and t-ball little league
she could've laid awake for hours
giving lonely nights the power
but she didn't have the time
not time where would she find the time
to trust a man again
not time for that flat tire
a crowded parking lot and then
not time to just have coffee with the man
who got her tired fixed
she was thinking gosh he's handsome
when he asked do you have kids
she could've lied
but she didnt have time
all she said was "she's five"
he said "i saw the car seat I love kids
does she have your eyes?"
and they sat and talked for hours
giving destiny it's power
she could've been afraid
to fall in love that night
but she didn't have time
she could've been afraid
to fall in love that night
but she didn't have time

Minnie
Artist : Kelly Clarkson
Title : Because Of You
Album : Breakaway
I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself
Cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did,
You fell so hard
I've learned the hard way
To never let it get that far
Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid
I lose my way
And it's not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because you know that's weakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake
A smile, a laugh everyday of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with
Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid
I watched you die
I heard you cry every night in your sleep
I was so young
You should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cry in the middle of the night
For the same damn thing
Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I try my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you
I don't know how to let anyone else in
Because of you
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
Because of you
I am afraid
Because of you
Because of you

Artist: Carrie Underwood (American Idol 2005)
Song: Jesus, Take The Wheel
Lyrics :
She was driving last Friday on her way to Cincinnati
On a snow white Christmas Eve
Going home to see her Mama and her Daddy with the baby in the backseat
Fifty miles to go and she was running low on faith and gasoline
It would been a long hard year
She had a lot on her mind and she didn't pay attention
She was going way to fast
Before she knew it she was spinning on a thin black sheet of glass
She saw both their lives flash before her eyes
She didn't even have time to cry
She was sooo scared
She threw her hands up in the air
Jesus take the wheel
Take it from my hands
Cause I can't do this all on my own
I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
To save me from this road I'm on
Jesus take the wheel
It was still getting colder when she made it to the shoulder
And the car came to a stop
She cried when she saw that baby in the backseat sleeping like a rock
And for the first time in a long time
She bowed her head to pray
She said I'm sorry for the way
I've been living my life
I know I've got to change
So from now on tonight
Jesus take the wheel
Take it from my hands
Cause I can't do this all my own
I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
To save me from this road I'm on
Oh, Jesus take the wheel
Oh, I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
Save me from this road I'm on
From this road I'm on
Jesus take the wheel
Oh, take it, take it from me
Oh, why, oh

Einherjer - Dragons of the North 1996
Especially the stunning 'Dreamstorm' track. Where does stuff like this come from?
A two-fist of Type O Negative: Bloody Kisses (especially the clever 'We Hate Everyone') and the supremely ethereal October Rust. These guys are songwriting genius.
I guess this means I'm uncool?

Ok, on the way home from Karate I was listening to The Pus*sycat Dolls with their new song "Don't Cha". Then I threw in some Aerosmith to listen to the rest of the way home. Guess my taste in music varies on what's playing.  Lately though, it's been a lot of, um, sensual songs. And I'm not talking about the slow ones either. I hate it when music is slow except for Pink Floyd.
Oh boy. I need to get ****.

Sorry BUT... always been the odd man out on this one -
TYPE O NEGATIVE - WORLD COMING DOWN Is their absolute BEST! With Bloody Kisses being 2nd! (Got real fucking scared when I found out my niece was interested in them....sorry - would rather her listen to some of the senseless shit she does like "FALL OUT POSER BOY" or that Jonathan?Aaron - something or other... than Type - O - she isn;t ready for that. Trying to turn her on to Radiohead right now.)
Oddly enough, I have listened to little music this week until yesterday. My brain processing made Metallica seem like Lawrence Welk this week, and NO ONE needs THAT!
Addicted to the beautiful hypnotic (think U2, Coldplay, yet more smooooooooth)
Aqualung - Strange and Beautiful
I've not heard a better perfectly balanced album like this in a long time.
All day though, I am listening to comedy rather than music. I just discovered someone who was so brilliant, twisted and perverse, he may have been the Gen X answer to Lenny Bruce, though listening to his rants right now 11 years posthumous - I am so dumbfounded how I never heard this stuff before! It is no wonder. He was ANTI-GOVERNMENT-ORGANIZED HYPOCRITCAL RELIGION- and PRO DRUG. He was big on the enlightenment of the use of psilocybin and the legalization of Marijuana - the dangers of the most abused yet legal DRUG alcohol. All of these things I am convinced kept BILL HICKS from being bigger than Dice Clay or Denis Leary (who, once caught ripping off Bill Hick's stuff Bill said live "That is okay. In all honesty I ripped him off but just to be clever and not get caught I did the act several years before him." - just one of his biting ironies. He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer after having been ill a short time, and died in February of 1994. Many bands have tributed his work (and I never knew that the intro to TOOL - THIRD EYE is actually one of his routines which evloves into him talking about "The Beatles were so high man, they even let Ringo sing a couple of songs." Almost pissed myself listening to this:
http://media.putfile.com/Bill-Hicks---Drugs-Have-Done-Good-Things
Radiohead dedicated the album "The Bends" to Bill, and many other artist tributes to yet another fine genuis robbed too soon at age 32.
Guess the aliens finally left Fife, Alabama and picked you up eh Bill? Welcome back to the mothership!
Peace,
Carl
A word of warning. Bill Hicks said some pretty vile things, and would go on rants where he spoke his soul - but having listened to enough of his work now, I understand his viewpoints. I don't agree with alot of hit, but man - some of it is pure genius!

Terry Kelly - A Pittance of Time
The song: http://webpages.charter.net/bedub/time.wmv
The Story: http://www.army.forces.gc.ca/chief_land_staff/remembrance/English/Home.a sp
The Lyrics:
A Pittance Of Time 4:43
Written by Terry Kelly © Jefter Publishing - SOCAN
They fought and some died for their homeland.
They fought and some died, now it's our land.
Look at his little child; there's no fear in her eyes.
Could he not show respect for other dads who have died?
Take two minutes, would you mind?
It's a pittance of time,
For the boys and the girls who went over.
In peace may they rest, may we never forget why they died.
It's a pittance of time.
God forgive me for wanting to strike him.
Give me strength so as not to be like him.
My heart pounds in my breast, fingers pressed to my lips,
My throat wants to bawl out, my tongue barely resists.
But two minutes I will bide.
It's a pittance of time,
For the boys and the girls who went over.
In peace may they rest.
May we never forget why they died.
It's a pittance of time.
Read the letters and poems of the heroes at home.
They have casualties, battles, and fears of their own.
There's a price to be paid if you go, if you stay.
Freedom's fought for and won in numerous ways.
Take two minutes, would you mind?
It's a pittance of time,
For the boys and the girls all over.
May we never forget, our young become vets.
At the end of the line,
It's a pittance of time.
It takes courage to fight in your own war.
It takes courage to fight someone else's war.
Our peacekeepers tell of their own living hell.
They bring hope to foreign lands that hate mongers can't kill.
Take two minutes, would you mind?
It's a pittance of time,
For the boys and the girls who go over.
In peacetime our best still don battle dress
And lay their lives on the line.
It's a pittance of time
In peace may they rest,
Lest we forget why they died.
Take a pittance of time.
Cat
Freedom isn't Free

Jonny,
Best voice? Hmmm, OK, but I'd go with Van Morrison (not rock?, blue eyed soul? works for me).
Best rock singer? Name is Jagger. Another guy named Lennon just might fit the bill.
Wanna expand your horizons? Just pure music? Go with the Mills Brothers or Bob Wills (cuz with apologies, Bob Wills is STILL the king).
Rock on,
Jon

I'm sure one day I'll listen to something other than Kate Bush's new album, but it may take a while... sheer poetry! I'll be a butthead and post lyrics to one song:
A Coral Room - Kate Bush
There's a city, draped in net
Fisherman net
And in the half light, in the half light
It looks like every tower
Is covered in webs
Moving and glistening and rocking
Its babies in rhythm
As the spider of time is climbing
Over the ruins
There were hundreds of people living here
Sails at the windows
And the planes came crashing down
And many a pilot drowned
And the speedboats flying above
Put your hand over the side of the boat
What do you feel?
My mother
And her little brown jug
It held her milk
And now it holds our memories
I can hear her singing
"Little brown jug, how I love thee"
"Little brown jug, how I love thee"
Ho ho ho, hee hee hee
I hear her laughing
She is standing in the kitchen
As we come in the back door
See it fall
See it fall
Oh little spider climbing out of a broken jug
And the pieces will lay there a while
In a house draped in net
In a room filled with coral
Sails at the window
Forests of masts
Put your hand over the side of the boat
Put your hand over the side of the boat
What do you feel?
