Daughters- John Mayer

This one definitely has to be in my top 3... I remember showing this song to my dad at a time in my life where we weren't very close, and the fact that he liked it so much and could identify to it made us connect in a real special way at a real special time... Just sooooooo good!

"Daughters"

I know a girl
She puts the color inside of my world
But she's just like a maze
Where all of the walls all continually change
And I've done all I can
To stand on her steps with my heart in my hands
Now I'm starting to see
Maybe it's got nothing to do with me

Fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too

Oh, you see that skin?
It's the same she's been standing in
Since the day she saw him walking away
Now she's left
Cleaning up the mess he made

So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too

Boys, you can break
You'll find out how much they can take
Boys will be strong
And boys soldier on
But boys would be gone without the warmth from
A womans good, good heart

On behalf of every man
Looking out for every girl
You are the god and the weight of her world

So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too [x3]

In Repair- John Mayer

This is probably my very favorite... In a live show he said: "this is a song about being screwed up but coming out of it! When you're a kid and you get a tennis ball in the nuts, its one of the worst feelings in the world, but all men will tell you there's no better feeling than when it stops hurting" lol

In Repair lyrics

Too many shadows in my room
Too many hours in this midnight
Too many corners in my mind
So much to do to set my heart right
Oh it's taking so long i could be wrong, i could be ready
Oh but if i take my heart's advice
I should assume it's still unsteady
I am in repair, i am in repair

Stood on the corner for a while
To wait for the wind to blow down on me
Hoping it takes with it my old ways
And brings some brand new look upon me
Oh it's taking so long i could be wrong, i could be ready
Oh but if i take my heart's advice
I should assume it's still unsteady
I am in repair, i am in repair

And now i'm walking in a park
All of the birds they dance below me
Maybe when things turn green again
It will be good to say you know me

Oh it's taking so long i could be wrong, i could be ready
Oh but if i take my heart's advice
I should assume it's still unready
Oh i'm never really ready, i'm never really ready
I'm in repair, i'm not together but i'm getting there
I'm in repair, i'm not together but i'm getting there

ITS ALL ABOUT JOHN MAYER TIL MARCH 25th!!!

I'm really excited to go to my first John Mayer concert in less than 2 weeks!!! So, until then I will be sharing a bit of my fav songs... I'll try to post one every day. So, here we go:

"The Heart Of Life" is def in my top 3. I have a sweet live recording of it and in it John explains a little of how this song was born, and he says:

"I had the melody come up when I was thinking about death in the natural, like when somebody dies a natural death, like a slow fade out-- literally they are like a leaf in water... its kind of beautiful. Its like a leaf curling up, like in nature where its just the kind of thing that loses its life and turns in. It was beautiful, and compelling and strange. I remember when that happened I felt like I couldn't even blink for a long time, and I wondered if at the end of the game do you go like "ya, I'm glad I did that, that was actually kinda fun!" or at the end of the game do you go like "you know what? I just remember being cold a lot..." idk... like what do you take with you...?

And then maybe, or more likely, it just completely balances out. They give you a pad and a pen and say something like- go figure it out. And you come back and you're like "I can't... every time I come up with one for the left column, I come up with one for the right column..." And so this idea of I know the heart of life is good came when I was sitting around for a while and I was lucky enough to have my hands on the guitar ... and its called "The Heart Of Life"...

"The Heart Of Life"

I hate to see you cry
Lying there in that position
There's things you need to hear
So turn off your tears
And listen

Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No it won't all go the way it should
But I know the heart of life is good

You know, it's nothing new
Bad news never had good timing
Then, circle of your friends
Will defend the silver lining

Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No it won't all go the way it should
But I know the heart of life is good

Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
Fear is a friend who's misunderstood
But I know the heart of life is good
I know it's good

Good Word

SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by Marsha Burns -- March 11, 2010:

You have turned a corner, and will now be led in a direction that will be a departure spiritually and perhaps naturally from where you have been in the recent past. This is a path that will lead to greater wisdom, insight, and maturity. Many of the problems that you experienced in the past few years will suddenly vanish, almost without a trace. That is not to say that the next season will be trouble-free, but for the most part it is a time when you can enjoy the journey, says the Lord.

Psalms 84:5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in You, Whose heart is set on pilgrimage.

Lyrics to Sequence #3 by: Cool Hand Luke

I never truly lived until I died with You
I never truly lived until I died with You

You came and changed my life
You came to save my life
You turned Your ear and You heard me (Psalm 116:1,2)
Why can’t I feel what I believe?

Veni sancte Spirtus
Veni sancte Spirtus (Come Holy Spirit)

You came and changed my life
You came and saved my life
What can I sing to give you my heart
To give up the things that tear us apart

Who am I that You died for me
Touched my lips and let me sing
Simple words for simple truth
I never lived till I died with You
I almost forgot

You’re my one,
You’re my one good thing (Psalm 16:2)
You’re my reason,
My reason to sing
I never really lived until I died with You

BLACK MONDAY by: christa black

well, it looks like rain, so they say
but i don't care if blue turns grey
cause i decided it's gonna be a beautiful day

my umbrella broke, i'm getting soaked
so i might as well lay back and float
cause i decided it's gonna be a beautiful day

and though i can't change the weather, i can change whether or not
i'm gonna smile

CHORUS:
black monday you can't get me down
no no no
black monday turn yourself around
whoa, whoa, whoa
stop, cause i won't let you win
you won't defeat my week again
cause i'm convinced
that black monday
you won't get me down this time

looks like my car won't start
i'm late for work
oops, i just spilled coffee on my shirt
but i decided it's gonna be a beautiful day

and when the traffic is stuck i'll turn the radio up
and just enjoy the ride
and though i can't change the forecast i predict
today's my day to shine

Elevation - U2

High, higher than the sun
You shoot me from a gun
I need you to elevate me here
At the corner of your lips
As the orbit of your hips
Eclipse
You elevate my soul

I've got no self control
Been living like a mole now
Going down, excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high
Elevation

A star
Lit up like a cigar
Strung out like a guitar
Maybe you can educate my mind

Explain all these controls
Can't sing but I've got soul
The goal is elevation

A mole
Digging in a hole
Digging up my soul now
Going down, excavation

I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high
Elevation

Love
Lift me up from out of these blues
Won't you tell me something true
I believe in you

A mole
Digging in a hole
Digging up my soul now
Going down, excavation

High and high in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high
Elevation

Elevation
Elevation
Elevation

Elevaaation
