Eagles with Linda Ronstadt and Jackson Browne - Take It Easy

1974 . . . ooohhhhhhh the memorys . . .

http://youtu.be/vQjH1EADMp0



Well, I'm running down the road
Tryin' to loosen my load
I've got seven women on my mind
Four that wanna own me
Two that wanna stone me
One says she's a friend of mine

Take it easy
Take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels
Drive you crazy

Lighten up while you still can
Don't even try to understand
Just find a place to make your stand
And take it easy

Well, I'm a standing on a corner
In Winslow, Arizona
And such a fine sight to see
It's a girl, my lord
In a flatbed Ford
Slowin' down to take a look at me

Come on, baby
Don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love
Is gonna save me

We may lose and we may win
Though we will never be here again
So open up, I'm climbin' in
And take it easy

Well I'm running down the road
Tryin' to loosen my load
Got a world of trouble on my mind
Lookin' for a lover
Who won't blow my cover
She's so hard to find

Take it easy
Take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels
Make you crazy

Come on, baby
Don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love
Is gonna save me

ooh
ooh ooh . . .
Oh we got it easy
We oughta take it easy . . .

Santana - Smooth

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXp413NynFk





Man it's a hot one
Like seven inches from the midday sun
Well I hear you whisper and the words melt everyone
But you stay so cold
My mu equita
My Spanish Harlem Mona Lisa
You're my reason for reason
The step in my groove, yeah

And if you said this life ain't good enough
I would give my world to lift you up
I could change my life to better suit your mood
'Cause you're so smooth

And it's just like the ocean under the moon
Well that's the same as the emotion that I get from you
You got the kind of lovin' that can be so smooth, yeah
Gimme your heart. Make it real
Or else forget about it

Well I'll tell you one thing
If you would leave it'd be a crying shame
In every breath and every word I hear your name calling me out
Well out from the barrio you hear my rhythm on your radio
You feel the turning of the world so soft and slow
Turning you round and round

And if you said this life ain't good enough
I would give my world to lift you up
I could change my life to better suit your mood
'Cause you're so smooth

And it's just like the ocean under the moon
Well that's the same as the emotion that I get from you
You got the kind of lovin' that can be so smooth, yeah
Gimme your heart. Make it real
Or else forget about it

And it's just like the ocean under the moon
Well that's the same as the emotion that I get from you
You got the kind of lovin' that can be so smooth, yeah
Gimme your heart. Make it real
Or else forget about it

Or else forget about it
Or else forget about it
Oh, let's don't forget about it
(Gimme your heart, make it real, or else forget about it)
Oh, let's don't forget about it
Let's don't forget about it, yeah
Oh, no, no
Oh, let's don't forget about it . . .

Eric Clapton - White Room

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvnWuOjJDh4





In the white room with black curtains near the station
Blackroof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings
Silver horses ran down moonbeams in your dark eyes
Dawnlight smiles on you leaving, my contentment

I'll wait in this place where the sun never shines
Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves

You said no strings could secure you at the station
Platform ticket, restless diesels, goodbye windows
I walked into such a sad time at the station
As I walked out, felt my own need just beginning

I'll wait in the queue when the trains come back
Lie with you where the shadows run from themselves

At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd
Consolation for the old wound now forgotten
Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes
She's just dressing, goodbye windows, tired starlings

I'll sleep in this place with the lonely crowd
Lie in the dark where the shadows run from themselves

Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWnapx502uQ





Hello,
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me
Is there anyone home?

Come on
Now
I hear you're feeling down
I can ease your pain
Get you on your feet again

Relax
I'll need some information first
Just the basic facts
Can you show me where it hurts?

There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move
But I can't hear what you're saying

When I was a child I had a fever
My hands felt just like
Two balloons
Now I've got that feeling once again
I can't explain
You would not understand
This is not how I am

I . . . Have become comfortably numb

O.K.
Just a little pin prick
There'll be no more aaaaaaaaah!
But you may feel a little sick

Can you stand up?
I do believe it's working
Good
That'll keep you going through the show
Come on
It's time to go

There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move
But I can't hear what you're saying

When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye

I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown
The dream is gone

I . . . Have become comfortably numb

Sixx A.M. - Life Is Beautiful

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYlS_kmxES0



you can't quit until you try
you can't live until you die
you can't learn to tell the truth
until you learn to lie

you can't breathe until you choke
you gotta laugh when you're the joke
there's nothing like a funeral to make you feel alive

just open your eyes
just open your eyes
and see that life is beautiful
will you swear on your life
that no one will cry at my funeral?

i know some things that you don't
i've done things that you won't
there's nothing like a trail of blood to find your way back home

i was waiting for my hearse
what came next was so much worse
it took a funeral to make me feel alive

just open your eyes
just open your eyes
and see that life is beautiful
will you swear on your life
that no one will cry at my funeral? . . .

Three Days Grace - Break

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4VCpTZye10





Tonight my head is spinning
I need something to pick me up
I've tried but nothing is working
I won't stop, I won't say I've had enough

Tonight I start the fire
Tonight I break away

Break away from everybody
Break away from everything
If you can't stand the way this place is
Take yourself to higher places

At night I feel like a vampire
It's not right but I just can't give it up
I'll try to get myself higher
Let's go we're going to light it up

Tonight we start the fire
Tonight we break away

Break away from everybody
Break away from everything
If you can't stand the way this place is
Take yourself to higher places


If you can't stand the way this place is
Take yourself to higher places

Break away from everybody
Break away from everything
If you can't stand the way this place is
Take yourself to higher places


Higher places
To higher places
Higher places
Take yourself to higher places

3 Doors Down - When I'm Gone

dedicated to all the men and women serving our country

http://youtu.be/pFq1eT9tMJ4



there's another world inside of me
that you may never see
there's secrets in this life that i can't hide
well, somewhere in this darkness
there's a light that i can't find
mabe it's too far away
maybe i'm just blind
maybe i'm just blind

so hold me when i'm here
right me when i'm wrong
hold me when i'm scared
and love me when i'm gone

everything i am
and everything in me
wants to be the one you wanted me to be
i'll never let you down
even if i could
give up everything
if only for your good

so hold me when i'm here
right me when i'm wrong
hold me when i'm scared
you won't always be there
so love me when i'm gone

love me when i'm gone . . .

when your education x-ray cannot see under my skin
i won't tell you a damn thing that i could not tell my friends
now roaming through this darkness
i'm alive but i'm alone
part of me is fighting this but part of me is gone

so hold me when i'm here
right me when i'm wrong
hold me when i'm scared
and love me when i'm gone

everything i am
and everything in me
wants to be the one you wanted me to be
i'll never let you down
even if i could
give up everything
if only for your good

so hold me when i'm here
right me when i'm wrong
hold me when i'm scared
you won't always be there
so love me when i'm gone

maybe i'm just blind

so hold me when i'm here
right me when i'm wrong
hold me when i'm scared
and love me when i'm gone

everything i am
and everything in me
wants to be the one you wanted me to be
i'll never let you down
even if i could
give up everything
if only for your good

so hold me when i'm here
right me when i'm wrong
hold me when i'm scared
you won't always be there
so love me when i'm gone . . .
