Portishead - Undenied
Your softly spoken words Release my whole desire Undenied Totally
And so bare is my heart, I can't hide And so where does my heart, belong
Beneath your tender touch My senses can't divide Ohh so strong My desire
For so bare is my heart, I can't hide And so where does my heart, belong
Now that I've found you And seen behind those eyes How can I Carry on
For so bare is my heart, I can't hide And so where does my heart, belong
Belong Belong Belong

Sarah McLaughlin - Wait
Sarah McLaughlin - Wait
Under a blackened sky
far beyond the glaring streetlights
sleeping on empty dreams
the vultures lie in wait
You lay down beside me then
you were with me every waking hour
so close I could feel your breath
When all we wanted was the dream
to have and to hold that precious little thing
like every generation yields
the new born hope unjaded by their years
Pressed up against the glass
I found myself wanting sympathy
but to be consumed again
oh I know would be the death of me
and there is a love that's inherently given
a kind of blindness offered to appease
and in that light of forbidden joy
oh I know I won't receive it
When all we wanted was the dream
to have and to hold that precious little thing
like every generation yields
the newborn hope unjaded by their years
You know if I leave you now
it doesn't mean that I love you any less
it's just the state I'm in
I can't be good to anyone else like this
When all we wanted was the dream
to have and to hold that precious little thing
like every generation yields
the new born hope unjaded by their years...

Loving the new music!
i LOVE this song.. ( i do have to ask though, wtf is that creepy little child/doll looking thing in the window behind her to the left?)
I join the queue on your answer phone And all I am is holding breath Just pick up I know you're there Can't you hear? I'm not myself
Well, go ahead and lie to me You could say anything Small talk will be just fine Your voice is everything We owe it to love And it all depends on you
So listen up The sun hasn't set (I refuse to believe that it's only me feeling) Just hear me out I'm not over you yet (It's love on the line, can you handle it?)
So how do I do normal? A smile I fake the "per-ma-nent-way" cue-cards and fix-it kits Can't you tell? I'm not myself
I'm a slow motion accident Lost in coffee rings and fingerprints I don't wanna feel anything but I do And it all comes back to you
So listen up "This" sun hasn't set (I refuse to believe that it's only me feeling) Just hear me out I'm not over you yet (It's love on the line, can you handle it?)
Hear me out Listen up This time you gotta listen to me - yeah Look at me straight Just hear me out Don't make me wait I'm not myself I can't take this Love's on the line Is that your final answer?
I join the queue on your answer phone And all I am is holding breath Just pick up, I know you're there...
So listen up "This" sun hasn't set (I refuse to believe that it's only me feeling) Just hear me out I'm not over you yet (It's love on the line, can you handle it?) (repeats two more times after this and fades)

Always - Plumb
Out of nowhere You came From a little dust And a little rain And when I looked down at Your face It showed to me The truth and grace
I will always try to keep you very safe
So open up your eyes So they can look in mine And see a small reflection And when you close your eyes I pray the thoughts inside Are beautiful and true
I won't always Be this strong And I won't always Be the one To kiss the bruise Or heal the scrapes To wipe the tear drops From your face
But I will always love you more each day
So open up your eyes So they can look in mine And see a small reflection And when you close your eyes I pray the thoughts inside Are beautiful and true
I will always love you more each day I will always try to keep you safe
So open up your eyes So they can look in mine And see a small reflection And when you close your eyes I pray the thoughts inside Are beautiful and true
I will always I will always ... love you

Firefly
And I have loved And I have served And I have sinned But I have learned As long as you are true to the life That you live This is the time to feel love I feel a stirring deep within Slowly picking up momentum Like the tide coming in to shore Over and under in its course This feeling emblazed inside Every nerve like a firefly Hovering above me Glow, Glow, Glowing divine Every nerve like a firefly Every nerve like a firefly This feeling emblazed inside
Every nerve like a firefly I never want to lose what I have finally found There's a requiem A new congregation And it's telling me go forward and walk Under a brighter sky Every nerve glowing like a firefly Every nerve like a firefly This feeling emblazed inside Every nerve like a firefly I feel a stirring deep within Slowly picking up momentum Like the tide coming into shore Over and under in its course I never want to lose What I have finally found There's a requiem A new congregation And it's telling me go foreward and walk Under a brighter sky Every nerve glowing like a firefly Glow, Glow, Divine Glow, Glow, Divine Every nerve like a firefly, glowing Every nerve like a firefly, glow Glow

The Power of Music
it's happened to all of us..even though we may not have known it at the time, a song somewhere, somehow imprints itself in your psyche, and it is forever after connected with specific events from your past. I have many of these, mostly happy memories, but this one was bittersweet. It is such an incredibly beautiful song, and I love it still, but the memory will always haunt me.
On the floating, shapeless oceans I did all my best to smile til your singing eyes and fingers drew me loving into your eyes.
And you sang "Sail to me, sail to me; Let me enfold you."
Here I am, here I am waiting to hold you. Did I dream you dreamed about me? Were you here when I was full sail?
Now my foolish boat is leaning, broken love lost on your rocks. For you sang, "Touch me not, touch me not, come back tomorrow." Oh my heart, oh my heart shies from the sorrow. I'm as puzzled as a newborn child. I'm as riddled as the tide. Should I stand amid the breakers? Or shall I lie with death my bride?
Hear me sing: "Swim to me, swim to me, let me enfold you." "Here I am. Here I am, waiting to hold you."

Absolutely brilliant footage of around the Bay Area. Especially love how he has captured the clouds as they boil and roll across the coastal hills...

Honor your Child's Truths
"Your children and not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts.
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls dwell
in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your
dreams.
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you."
- excerpt from Kahlil Gibran's book, the Prophet

What each must seek in his life never was on land or sea. It is something out of his own unique potentiality for experience, something that never has been and never could have been experienced by anyone else.
