Missing You By Dianna Ross

Freyaphrodite — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 21:57:01 GMT

(This one makes me miss my mama soooooooooooooooooo much!!) Since you've been away I've been down and lonely Since you've been away I've been thinking of you Trying to understand The reason you left me What were you going through? I'm missing you Tell me why the road turns Ooh ooh ooh I'm missing you Tell me why the road turns As I look around I see things that remind me Just to see you smile Made my heart fill with joy I'll still recall All those dreams we shared together Where did you run to, boy? I'm missing you Tell me why the road turns Ooh ooh ooh I'm missing you Tell me why the road turns Sometimes I've wondered I didn't understand Just where you were trying to go Only you knew the plan And I tried to be there But you wouldn't let me in But now you've gone away boy I feel so broken hearted I knew the day we started That we were meant to be If only you'd let me! I've cried so many tears Gotta face now all my fears We let time slip away I need you boy Here today! There was so much you gave me To my heart To my soul There was so much of your dreams That were never told You had so much hope For a brighter day Why were you my flower Plucked away I'm missing you Tell me why the road turns Ooh oohooh I'm missing you Tell me why the road turns

My Soul is a Battleground By Dawn D. Grandier

Freyaphrodite — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 21:41:58 GMT

My heart and my mind are in a constant battle for my soul, they seem to be trying to rip me in two My mind has me running figure eights through all the millions of things that I simply have to do But my heart seems to dominate at times, it takes over my soul and makes me daydream of you I, far too often now a days, find myself lingering down lanes of thoughts and emotions that just won't do So, I pull myself together and get meself back into gear, overwhelmed with the feeling of melancholy blue My eye on the path before me, my mind running circles around me, and my heart simply longing for you

SUMMER BREEZE... THE ISLEY BROTHERS

Freyaphrodite — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 23:29:10 GMT

See the curtains hanging in the window In the evening on a Friday night A little light a-shining through the window Lets me know everythings alright CHORUS: Summer breeze makes me feel fine Blowing through the jasmine in my mind Summer breeze makes me feel fine Blowing through the jasmine in my mind See the paper lying on the sidewalk A little music from the house next door So I walk on up to the door step Through the screen and across the floor Repeat chorus Sweet days of summer, the jasmine's in bloom July is dressed up and playing her tune When I come home from a hard days work And you're waiting there, not a care in the world See the smile a-waiting in the kitchen Food cooking and the plates for two Feel the arms that reach out to hold me In the evening when the day is through

as of late...

Freyaphrodite — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 19:35:19 GMT

as of late... Iv'e been keepin' myself to busy to think about things that bring me down things that make me blue things that make me fess up to how it really feels down in the depths of my soul I'm keepin' a happy face on for all the world to see I just keep puttin' one foot in front of the other moseying down this long, winding road confused and conflicted but hopeful and dreamy at times doin' what's expected doin' what's needed doin' what I should for all those involved smiling on the outside but surviving a storm within doin' what I can to hide it all and just keep moving on down that road the one that's already chosen the one that "is meant to be" the one that seems to make the most sense and thus I trudge on and cloak all those things inside that haunt and taunt me the past the future the questions the disbelief the regret the lack of faith the hopefulness the insecurity the vanity the lonely feeling the sorrow the contempt the frustration ... it all gets pushed further and further down

Artist: Phoebe Snow Title: Isn'T It A Shame Album: Second Childhood Year: 1976 Isn't it a shame Not to have something to believe in To have to cry in public places Frightened by children making faces Travel folders call you So do your memories But the statistics seem to stall you And they whiper it's a t... The moon has coated me with dust I must look a sight I left my mind out in the rain So please don't be polite Can you help me Can you help me...later on tonight Can you help me Can you help me At least until it's light Tonight I won't be drinking I'll love you anyway (AAA) I will be very busy thinking I can still come out and play It's more than medication It is all that's on the shelf The simple fact that I'm alive and well And I'm laughing at myself My casual friends were causualties My foes were just faux pas but I still have that second chance And I'm listening for applause (Guitar solo) Look at us poor souls down here Tryin' to turn an honest trick Every second seasons seems we think We're tired or sick Can you help us, can you help us Something's got to click Can you help me, can you help me To sing another lick....

Chad Michael Stewart ~ Hollow

Freyaphrodite — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 20:20:50 GMT

Hollow man there is more to life- like a lost child will you find your back to the living man? Or is this the end?- the time is right to hurt to help-don’t wear it like a coat of shame- pick me up I’ve fallen apart- I tear away at the seams- this one life you take in vein- with this soul- this should you gave to a lovers life you could not save- the time is right to hurt to help- don’t wear it like a coat of shame- pick me up I’ve fallen apart- I tear away at the seams- you better watch yourself now- you just cant tell- the thing that’s stopping you- just might be yourself- and if you close your eyes it might just go away- and if you close your mind it might just stay that way- the time is right to hurt to help- don’t wear it like a coat of shame- pick me up I’ve fallen apart- I tear away at the seems- I’m hollow

Lithium lyrics

Freyaphrodite — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 19:26:43 GMT

Lithium, don't want to lock me up inside. Lithium, don't want to forget how it feels without... Lithium, I want to stay in love with my sorrow. Oh, but God, I want to let it go. Come to bed, don't make me sleep alone. Couldn't hide the emptiness, you let it show. Never wanted it to be so cold. Just didn't drink enough to say you love me. I can't hold on to me, Wonder what's wrong with me. Lithium, don't want to lock me up inside. Lithium, don't want to forget how it feels without... Lithium, I want to stay in love with my sorrow. I don't want to let it lay me down this time. Drown my will to fly. Here in the darkness I know myself. Can't break free until I let it go. Let me go. Darling, I forgive you after all. Anything is better than to be alone. And in the end I guess I had to fall. Always find my place among the ashes. I can't hold on to me, Wonder what's wrong with me. Lithium, don't want to lock me up inside. Lithium, don't want to forget how it feels without... Lithium, ...stay in love with you. I'm gonna let it go.

sweetest thing

Freyaphrodite — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 15:33:37 GMT

The sweetest thing I've ever known Was like the kiss on the collarbone The soft caress of happiness The way you walk, your style of dress I wish I didn't get so weak Ooo, baby, just to hear you speak Makes me argue just to see How much you're in love with me See, like a queen, a queen upon her throne Chorus: It was the sweet, sweetest thing I’ve known, It was the sweet, sweetest thing I’ve known I get mad when you walk away So I tell you leave, when I mean stay Warm as the sun dipped in black Fingertips on the small of my back More valuable than all I own Like your precious, precious, precious, precious baby, dark skin tone It was the sweet,the sweetest thing I’ve known It was the...Ah I try to explain Ah...but baby, it's in vain Speaking on my mother's phone The touch that makes me think I'm grown Sweet prince of the ghetto Your kisses taste like amaretto Intoxicating, oh, so intoxicating How sad, how sad that all things come to an end But then again, I'm, I'm not alone Chorus Ah...Sometimes watch you in your sleep Ah... Excuse me if I get too deep, hey! Fading Chorus

Donny Hathaway ~ Song for You

Freyaphrodite — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 21:57:54 GMT

I've been so many places in my life and time I've sung a lot of songs I've made some bad rhyme I've acted out my love in stages With ten thousand people watching But we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you I know your image of me is what I hope to be I've treated you unkindly but darlin' can't you see There's no one more important to me Darlin' can't you please see through me Cause we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you You taught me precious secrets of the truth witholding nothing You came out in front and I was hiding But now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding I love you in a place where there's no space or time I love you for in my life you are a friend of mine And when my life is over Remember when we were together We were alone and I was singing this song for you You taught me precious secrets of the truth witholding nothing You came out in front and I was hiding But now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding I love you in a place where there's no space or time I love you for in my life you are a friend of mine And when my life is over Remember when we were together We were alone and I was singing this song for you We were alone and I was singing this song for you

Could have never known that when losin' Could hurt you so very bad Could have never known that when chosin' Would make you so very sad I don't know what to do I just feel so confused I'm a child with the blues Take your time, smell the flowers Make a smile for yourself Girl, don't make livin' so hard, So hard, So hard, I keep tellin' myself Feels like I'm goin' away Sometimes it ain't all damn fair A child with the blues Sisters, sisters I know you're watchin' me There are a lot of games reachin' for you Constantly When you think you're grown You're entering the unknown Baby, check yourself Brace yourself Protect yourself Face yourself Feels like my life is just existing And I'm missing someone It's hard to replace the simple fact 'cause my lover is gone, gone on Never too young to pay your dues, And you're walkin' in my shoes You're a child with the blues, so blue, so blue I can't stop the flow, can't stop it Of the tears in my eyes And if you're any of the many kind of women in pain, Woman in pain, realize, realize The same emotion we share Movin' fast but goin' nowhere Like a child with the blues A child with the blues Baby, blue This child is blue Show no blues A child with the blues, ooh Blue...

I’m my own worst enemy I set myself up to fall And falling I am And I have knots in my throat And the tears sting my eyes As they well up and fill my cheeks My stomach feels hollow and And my heart feels blue From lack of oxygen I’ve been holding my breath Closing my eyes Waiting to land But it seems I’m free falling And the spark that set my heart on fire Was nothing but a passing fancy And my wings are wet They don’t hold my weight I’m just careening Waiting for the end.

"In spite of all the Damage" If I wanted to say to you That I wanted to see your face again That I want to hear you laughing In spite of all the damage I've done If I wanted to hear you talkin' Or to hear your sense of things Or to call you up on a Sunday morning In spite of all the damage I've done Well I broke our home and left you nowhere to run Yes I broke our home and left you nowhere to run But I never knock my days away I think you understand that I could not stay But I like to hear you laughing In spite of all the damage I've done In spite of all the damage I've done Well I broke our home and left you nowhere to run Yes I broke our home and left you nowhere to run "Lonesome Blues" Some blues are just blues, mine are the lonesome blues Some blues are just blues, mine are the lonesome blues All the birds flew south for the winter Left me these lonesome blues My baby left me, hitched a train down south My baby left me, hitched a train down south I still taste his kisses Like candy in my mouth. I wish I had wings, just like an aeroplane I wish I had wings, just like an aeroplane Fly down, find my baby. never be lonesome again. "Midnight Moonlight" if you ever get lonesome and you're down in san antone just beg, steal or borrow two nickels or a dime and call me on the phone i'll meet you at the alamo mission and we will say our prayers the holy ghost and the virgin mother will heal us, as we kneel there in the midnight moonlight midnight moonlight, moonlight in the midnight, moonlight, in the mid- night moonlight midnight if you ever feel sorrow for deeds that you have done with no hope for tomorrow in the setting of the sun and the oceans are howlin' for things that might have been and the last good morning sunrise will be the brightest you've ever seen

PETA Urges Ben & Jerry's To Use Human Milk Group Says Move Would Help Humans, Cows WATERBURY, Vt. -- People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals sent a letter to Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, cofounders of Ben & Jerry's Homemade Inc., urging them to replace cow's milk they use in their ice cream products with human breast milk, according to a statement recently released by a PETA spokeswoman. "PETA's request comes in the wake of news reports that a Swiss restaurant owner will begin purchasing breast milk from nursing mothers and substituting breast milk for 75 percent of the cow's milk in the food he serves," the statement says. PETA officials say a move to human breast milk would lessen the suffering of dairy cows and their babies on factory farms and benefit human health. SURVEY Do you think Ben and Jerry's should use human milk in its ice cream? Yes No Results | Disclaimer | E-Mail "The fact that human adults consume huge quantities of dairy products made from milk that was meant for a baby cow just doesn't make sense," says PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman. "Everyone knows that 'the breast is best,' so Ben & Jerry's could do consumers and cows a big favor by making the switch to breast milk." "We applaud PETA's novel approach to bringing attention to an issue, but we believe a mother's milk is best used for her child," said a spokesperson for Ben and Jerry's. Read PETA's letter to Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield September 23, 2008 Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, Cofounders Ben & Jerry's Homemade Inc. Dear Mr. Cohen and Mr. Greenfield, On behalf of PETA and our more than 2 million members and supporters, I'd like to bring your attention to an innovative new idea from Switzerland that would bring a unique twist to Ben and Jerry's. Storchen restaurant is set to unveil a menu that includes soups, stews, and sauces made with at least 75 percent breast milk procured from human donors who are paid in exchange for their milk. If Ben and Jerry's replaced the cow's milk in its ice cream with breast milk, your customers-and cows-would reap the benefits. Using cow's milk for your ice cream is a hazard to your customer's health. Dairy products have been linked to juvenile diabetes, allergies, constipation, obesity, and prostate and ovarian cancer. The late Dr. Benjamin Spock, America's leading authority on child care, spoke out against feeding cow's milk to children, saying it may play a role in anemia, allergies, and juvenile diabetes and in the long term, will set kids up for obesity and heart disease-America's number one cause of death. Animals will also benefit from the switch to breast milk. Like all mammals, cows only produce milk during and after pregnancy, so to be able to constantly milk them, cows are forcefully impregnated every nine months. After several years of living in filthy conditions and being forced to produce 10 times more milk than they would naturally, their exhausted bodies are turned into hamburgers or ground up for soup. And of course, the veal industry could not survive without the dairy industry. Because male calves can't produce milk, dairy farmers take them from their mothers immediately after birth and sell them to veal farms, where they endure 14 to17 weeks of torment chained inside a crate so small that they can't even turn around. The breast is best! Won't you give cows and their babies a break and our health a boost by switching from cow's milk to breast milk in Ben and Jerry's ice cream? Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Tracy Reiman Executive Vice President

I wish I was a willow And I could sway to the music in the wind And I wish I was a lover I wouldn't need my costumes and pretend I wish I was a mountain I'd pass boldly thrue the clouds and never end I wish I was a soft refrain When the lights were out I'd play and be your friend I strut and fret my hour upon the stage The hour is up I have to run and hide my rage I'm lost again I think I'm really scared I won't be back at all this time And have my deepest secrets shared I'd like to be a willow A lover, a mountain or a soft refrain But I'd hate to be a grown-up And have to try to bear my life in pain I wish I was a soft refrain When the lights were out I'd play and be your friend I strut and fret my hour upon the stage The hour is up I have to run and hide my rage I'm lost again I think I'm really scared I won't be back at all this time And have my deepest secrets shared I'd like to be a willow A lover, a mountain or a soft refrain But I'd hate to be a grown-up And have to try to bear my life in pain

Stevei Wonder... Place in the Sun

Freyaphrodite — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 21:03:16 GMT

Like a long lonely stream I keep runnin' towardas a dream Movin' on, movin' on Like a branch on a tree I keep reachin' to be free Movin' on, movin' on. 'Cause there's a place in the sun Where there's hope for ev'ryone Where my poor restless heart's gotta run. There's a place in the sun And before my life is done Got to find me a place in the sun. Like an old dusty road I get weary from the load. Movin' on, movin' on Like this tired troubled earth I've been rollin' since my birth Movin' on, movin' on 'Cause there's a place in the sun Where there's hope for ev'ryone Where my poor restless heart's gotta run. There's a place in the sun And before my life is done Got to find me a place in the sun.

my dreams as of late...

Freyaphrodite — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 05:27:08 GMT

As of late, the dreams I've been "experiencing" are becoming more vivid, more memorable, more realistic (in some cases) than anything I have experienced before, and other dreams are so amazingly surreal that it reminds me of paintings I've seen on the walls of museums and on the pages of books that line the walls where I work just layer upon layer of bright yummy colors, melting into each other. Some of my dreams I can smell and feel... this is not too new... it's been so long since I have dreamt like this... and although at times it is more than enjoyable... it can be quite lonely to wake from... even with someone lying next to me.... lonely indeed. Especially when the dreams hold so much more passion, liveliness, joy, a sense of peace, and at times ecstasy filled pleasure for me to experience… more, often, than my waking hours hold (for the most part anyway). But alas, dreams are simply movies in our mind run by the real to real of our soul… and though there may be elements of these dreams that hold a jewel of truth… they all quickly fade once my eyes are open… but still lingering in my gut, my heart, my soul, and my wishes are elements of these dreams that I wish to be true… however absurd or unfitting…

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone. It's not warm when she's away. Ain't no sunshine when she's gone and she's always gone too long anytime she goes away. Wonder this time where she's gone, wonder if she's gone to stay Ain't no sunshine when she's gone and this house just ain't no home anytime she goes away. And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know Hey, I ought to leave the young thing alone, but ain't no sunshine when she's gone, ain't no sunshine when she's gone, only darkness everyday. Ain't no sunshine when she's gone, and this house just ain't no home anytime she goes away. Anytime she goes away. Anytime she goes away. Anytime she goes away. Anytime she goes away.
