Moving On

The concept of embracing change is something that I take really seriously. My life has always been an ever changing one and I've no regrets about that for I find happiness in it. I love and respect my past and I enjoy the present but the future is where we are always going.

This song by ZOX is called Goodnight and it's one that really strikes a chord in me because for me it is the essence of what life is really about.

Goodnight to the city and the sea
To the strangers in the street
Goodnight to the ghost out in the hall
The paint peeling off the wall
Goodnight

Sometimes I stand between the sidewalk and the sky
And just stare into the clouds as they pass by
You have to leave the ground to learn to fly

Goodnight to the TV and the clocks
To the rain that never stops
Goodnight to everyone I know
Shut my eyes and let 'em go

Sometimes I stand between the sidewalk and the sky
And just stare into the clouds as they pass by
You have to leave the ground to learn to fly

There is something beautiful dying every day
And for the first time in my life I'm not afraid
'Cause there's nothing in this world that doesn't change

Goodnight to the person I have been
To the place that I am in
Goodnight tomorrow, hello to the sun
Are you ready? Here I come

Sometimes I stand between the sidewalk and the sky
And just stare into the clouds as they pass by
You have to leave the ground to learn to fly

You have to leave the ground to learn to fly

The Answer is Within You

This song is a dedication to Chris and Zelda who are getting married in a week's time. These two are great friends of mine. I want people to know I think they are a fantastic couple and I'm extremely proud of them both and very honoured to be their friends. I'm looking forward to the being at the wedding very much. I hope they will have a fantastic wedding and one that they will remember for the rest of their lives together. This Ray Lamontagne song might be a bit on the soppy side for their tastes I'm not really sure, but sticking fingers down your throat is absolutely not permitted on this page ... at least it's the thought that counts. As for the video I can only say I'm not a great watcher of American tv so I have to admit I've no idea what it is.


War is not the answer
The answer is within you
Love Love Love Love

War is not the answer
The answer is within you
Love Love Love Love (repeat to end)

Vampire Weekend - I Stand Corrected

I'm not normally partial to American bands but this song is one among my particular favourites. I love the beat to it! It really get the bird's feathers ruffled... and you should see him dance round the bedroom to it...

You've been checking on my facts
And I admit I have been lax
In double-screening what I say
It wasn't funny anyway

I stand corrected

No one cares when you are wrong
But I've been at this far too long
To act like that when we should be
In perfect harmony

I stand corrected

Lord knows I haven't tried
I'll take my stand
One last time

Forget the protocol
I'll take your hand
Right in mine

In the Mood for a bit of Psychedelics

It's a Beautiful Day - White Bird

White Bird
In a golden cage
On a winter's day
In the rain
White bird
In a golden cage
Alone

The leaves blow
Cross the long black road
To the darkened skies
In its rage
But the white bird
Just sits in her cage
Unknown.

White bird must fly
Or she will die

White bird
Dreams of the aspen tree
With their dying leaves
Turning gold
But the white bird
Just sits in her cage
Growing old.

White bird must fly
Or she will die
White bird must fly
Or she will die

The sunsets come
The sunsets go
The clouds Float by
And The Earth Turns slow
And the Young Birds Eyes
Do always Glow
And She must fly
She must fly
She must fly

White Bird
In a golden cage
On a winter's day
In the rain
White bird
In a golden cage
Alone

White bird must fly
Or she will die
White bird must fly
Or she will die
White bird must fly
Or she will die
White bird must fly
