Song Lyric Sunday Theme for 12/30/18

Guys, I apologize for the lateness of the post. I’m still struggling with my health and I ended up getting sick this afternoon and completely spaced the theme post and that it was even Saturday! Luckily, I remembered in the nick of time (at least in my neck of the woods).

I’m not going to spend any more time rambling on about things, so let’s just get right to it. Let’s put on our thinking caps, break out our playlists and get to work!  Our theme for Song Lyric Sunday this week is new.

As always, you can go your own way and post a song that has nothing to do with the prompt.  We’re all here sharing our love of music and lyrics, and most of all, having a great time!

If you would like to suggest a theme, I am open to suggestions.   Please either pop it in the comments or send me an email at helenvahdati@yahoo.com.

Here are the “rules”:

• Post the lyrics to the song of your choice, whether it fits the theme or not
• Please try to include the songwriter(s) – it’s a good idea to give credit where credit is due and it’s honestly just a simple Google search
• Make sure you also credit the singer/band and provide a link to where you found the lyrics
• Link to the YouTube video, or pull it into your post so others can listen to the song
• Ping back to this post or my own Song Lyric Sunday post
• Read at least one other person’s blog so we can all share new and fantastic music and create amazing new blogging friends in the process

Song Lyric Sunday – It’s Christmas Day by Family Force 5

I went through a time when I really didn’t want to listen to mainstream Christmas music. I even tried to convince myself that I didn’t like it, but I realized this year that I actually love so much of it. There are songs that I don’t like, for sure, but for the most part, it’s all just part of the season.

My daughter introduced me to Family Force 5 and I was excited when they put out a Christmas album, although somewhat reluctant. It was actually better than I thought it would be. The year the album came out, I bought VIP tickets for me and my daughter and we saw them live in concert the first part of December. We got to meet the band and I even have a picture to show for it!

This album was the only Christmas music I listened to for at least two years in a row. I still love it, even though I haven’t listened to it in a while. I’m happy that this song fit the theme today and that I get to share it with you. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you all!

I woke up this morning
And I stumbled out of my bed
Dreams from the night before
ring inside of my head
Ran down the stairs when I remembered
It’s Christmas day
Christmas day

Everyone is right here at home
Sing all those songs we all know
This is the season for love
It’s Christmas day

A day like any other day
Where even the coldest of hearts will pray
For peace on earth and good will to all men
We all can remember the greatest
The greatest gift of all

It’s Christmas day

I saw all the presents
wrapped underneath the tree
Now I’m surrounded by my family
Oh, I can hardly believe
That it’s Christmas day

Children singing
And the jingle bells ringing
Wake up it’s Christmas morn
The day our king was born

Snowflakes are falling
All the times that we’re recalling
We laugh and celebrate
Today is Christmas day

It’s Christmas day
Christmas day

It’s Christmas day
Christmas day

Written by Family Force 5

Song Lyric Sunday Theme for 12/23/18

My hubby and I decided to celebrate the season by watching sappy holiday movies today. I got so into it that I completely spaced my post today. At least I didn’t forget completely, though, and now I’m here to bring you another round of SLS, albeit a little late.

Unfortunately, I didn’t have a pre-planned theme, so I had to come up with one on the fly. Hopefully it won’t be too difficult for you to come up with with a song; although, you guys never seem to let me down. You always seem to come up with something no matter what the theme is.

With that short little intro, we’ll just get right to it. Let’s put on our thinking caps, break out our playlists and get to work!  Our theme for Song Lyric Sunday this week is season.

As always, you can go your own way and post a song that has nothing to do with the prompt.  We’re all here sharing our love of music and lyrics, and most of all, having a great time!

Song Lyric Sunday – Love Like Woe by The Ready Set

Sometimes I feel like some of my music tastes are stuck in 2010, back when my daughter was introducing me to all her favorite music and we were going to concerts all the time. I suppose that’s not as bad as some of you all (1960’s and such), but I do try to find new music. I’m just not very good at it… or I just don’t spend enough time looking for it. Lately, I’ve been listening to a lot of my son’s music (hip-hop), which is not my scene at all. I think he tries to play songs he think I might like, and some haven’t been too bad, but for the most part I really just don’t get it.

I decided to have some fun today. This song is not deep and I think the only reason I like it is because of how much fun I think it is. I can’t relate to the lyrics at all, really. It reminds me of high school and the games that kids play with each other’s hearts (I swear I have never been this girl!). While that isn’t fun, I’m sure, I do think the song is fun. The video is odd and I’m not sure what’s even going on, but I do feel like getting up and dancing with that room of kids.

I hope you can have some fun with this one, just remember to leave your thinking caps at the door!

Happy Sunday everyone!

Whoa-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Whoa-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
(I kinda feel like it don’t make sense)

I’m thinking, baby, you and I are undeniable
But I’m finding our loves unreliable
I’m giving all I got to make you stay
Or am I just a roadblock in your way?

‘Cause you’re a pretty little windstorm out on the boulevard
Something like a Sunset, oh you’re a shooting star
And I might drive myself insane
If those lips aren’t speaking my name

‘Cause I got some intuition,
Or maybe I’m superstitious
But I think you’re a pretty sweet pill that I’m swallowing down
To counter this addiction, you’ve got me on a mission
Tell me darling, can I get a break somehow?
(How) could I say no?

She’s got a love like woe
Whoa-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh,
Girls got a love like woe
I kinda feel like it don’t make sense
Because you’re bringing me in and now you’re kicking me out again
Love so strong, then you moved on
Now I’m hung up in suspense,
Because you’re bringing me in and then you’re kicking me out again

It’s like a hurricane, speed train, she’s a moving car
Catch her in the fast lane, oh I gotta know,
Can I keep up with her pace?
Kick it into gear when I see that face

You can take up all my time cause you’re the only one
That can make a storm cloud break, pulling out the sun
And I can’t get caught in the rain
Can I get your lips to speak my name?

‘Cause I got some intuition,
Or maybe I’m superstitious
But I think you’re a pretty sweet pill that I’m swallowing down
To counter this addiction, you’ve got me on a mission
Tell me darling, can I get a break somehow?
(How) could I say no?

She’s got a love like woe
Whoa-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh,
Girls got a love like woe
I kinda feel like it don’t make sense
Because you’re bringing me in and now you’re kicking me out again
Love so strong, then you moved on
Now I’m hung up in suspense,
Because you’re bringing me in and then you’re kicking me out again

‘Cause we only have one life
The timing and the moment,
All seem so right
So would you say you’re mine? (We’ll be just fine)
Would you say you’re mine? (We’ll be just fine)

She’s got a love like woe
Whoa-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh,
Girls got a love like woe (la-da-da)
I kinda feel like it don’t make sense
Because you’re bringing me in and now you’re kicking me out again
Love so strong, then you moved on
Now I’m hung up in suspense,
Because you’re bringing me in and then you’re kicking me out again

She’s got a love like woe
Whoa-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh,
Girls got a love like woe (la-da-da)
I kinda feel like it don’t make sense
Because you’re bringing me in and now you’re kicking me out again
Love so strong, then you moved on
Now I’m hung up in suspense,
Because you’re bringing me in and then you’re kicking me out again

Song Lyric Sunday Theme for 12/16/18

I made a vow last year that this year I would be much more jolly, and you know what? Despite being sick and everything else going on right now, I’m actually doing it. We spent most of the day Christmas shopping and I’m all done except for my co-workers. I have no idea what to do for them, but I’m going to come up with something that isn’t food related. We still have a week left, and I think we’re all tired of all the extra food in the office.

I did fail at one thing. I was planning to bake, and it’s just not going to happen this year. I can’t even imagine standing in the kitchen for hours right now. Hopefully, next year I’ll be able to add that to my list of merry-making.

Anyway, let’s just get right to it, since you should already know what the theme is. Let’s put on our thinking caps, break out our playlists and get to work!  Our theme for Song Lyric Sunday this week is girls.

As always, you can go your own way and post a song that has nothing to do with the prompt.  We’re all here sharing our love of music and lyrics, and most of all, having a great time!

Song Lyric Sunday – Stupid Boy by Keith Urban

I almost missed SLS again! Sheesh, I’m struggling lately! At least I made it one time, I suppose. The crazy thing is that I thought of this song right away when I posted the them yesterday, but I didn’t take the time to create the post. I suppose that’ll teach me to get it done all at once.

I always seem to caveat Country music. As I’ve said many times, I’m not a huge fan, but I do have some songs that I still love from back when I listened to it. Keith Urban is pretty hit and miss for me, but I do love this song.

I hope you’ve all had a great Sunday!

I also hope you enjoy!

 

Well she was precious, like a flower
She grew wild, wild but innocent
A perfect prayer in a desperate hour
She was everything beautiful and different
Stupid boy, you can’t fence that in
Stupid boy, it’s like holdin’ back the wind

She laid her heart and soul right in your hands
And you stole her every dream, and you crushed her plans
She never even knew she had a choice
And that’s what happens when the only voice she hears is telling her she can’t
Stupid boy
Stupid boy

So, what made you think you could take a life
And just push it, push it around
I guess to build yourself up so high
You had to take her and break her down
Well

She laid her heart and soul right in your hands
And you stole her every dream, and you crushed her plans
She never even knew she had a choice
And that’s what happens when the only voice she hears is telling her she can’t

You stupid boy
You always had to be right
And now you lost the only thing that ever made you feel alive, oh ho
Yeah, yeah

She laid her heart and soul right in your hands, yeah
And you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans, yes you did
She never even knew she had a choice
And that’s what happens when the only voice she hears is telling her she can’t

You stupid boy
Oh, I’m the same old, same old stupid boy
It took a while for her to figure out she could run
But when she did, she was long gone, long gone

Songwriters: David Allen Berg / Sarah Buxton / Nancy Bryant

Song Lyric Sunday Theme for 12/9/18

This week was better than last week. I was, at least, able to make it to the day job every day. Unfortunately, I still have tests in my future. I’m just hoping that they’ll be able to find something so I can at least have a direction that helps me to get completely better.

I had lots of ideas swirling around in my head all week, but I never really landed on one for the SLS theme. It makes today super hard. It always seems to go by so much faster when I don’t have a plan. I do hope the one I settled on will be a fun one for you all to explore. I was trying to think of something that relates to the season, but not in an obvious way. Choosing this theme also gives me one for the next (as I’m sure you will guess).

Anyway, let’s just get right to it. Let’s put on our thinking caps, break out our playlists and get to work!  Our theme for Song Lyric Sunday this week is boys.

Song Lyric Sunday – The Flame by Cheap Trick

I’ve been thinking of this song since I posted the theme last week, and luckily it serves as a choice for both weeks. This isn’t really my genre, but I just had to post it since it was so persistent in my head all week.

I remember listening to this song in junior high school. It was one of my favorites. I’ve always wanted someone to love me this way, and I do believe I’ve finally found it. It’s been a rough few months, but I feel that we’re stronger than we’ve ever been.

As cheesy as this song is and this all sounds, I just needed a little bit of it on this snowy Sunday morning.

I hope you enjoy this blast from the past!

Another night slowly closes in
And I feel so lonely
Touching heat freezing on my skin
I pretend you still hold me
I’m going crazy, I’m losing sleep
I’m in too far, I’m in way too deep over you
I can’t believe you’re gone
You were the first, you’ll be the last

Wherever you go, I’ll be with you
Whatever you want, I’ll give it to you
Whenever you need someone
To lay your heart and head upon
Remember, after the fire, after all the rain
I will be the flame
I will be the flame

Watching shadows move across the wall
I feel so frightened
I wanna run to you, I wanna call
But I’ve been hit by lightning
Just can’t stand up for fallin’ apart
Can’t see through this veil across my heart, over you
You’ll always be the one
You were the first, you’ll be the last

Wherever you go, I’ll be with you
Whatever you want, I’ll give it to you
Whenever you need someone
To lay your heart and head upon
Remember, after the fire, after all the rain
I will be the flame
I will be the flame

I’m going crazy, I’m losing sleep
I’m in too far, I’m in way too deep over you
You’ll always be the one
You were the first, you’ll be the last

Wherever you go, I’ll be with you
Whatever you want, I’ll give it to you
Whenever you need someone
To lay your heart and head upon
Remember, after the fire, after all the rain
I will be the flame
I will be the flame

Whatever you want, I’ll give it to you
Wherever you go, I’ll be with you
And whatever you want, I’ll give it to you

Song Lyric Sunday Theme for 12/2/18

Last week is almost a blur. I ended up getting sick the Sunday before Thanksgiving and I was sick up until yesterday. I went to the ER twice this week, and they still can’t really tell me what’s wrong; but they did give me some medication that seems to be working. I’m finally starting to feel like myself again, and it feels nice.

I hope that explains why I missed posting a song for my own prompt last week. I’ve felt bad about it ever since, but I just wasn’t up to posting anything on Sunday. The only reason I even posted a theme was because I know how much you guys love it and I just couldn’t let you down.

Hopefully, this means I’m back in more ways than just posting the theme. I’ve also really missed taking part in commenting and listening to your selections. I am so thankful you all love it so much that you visit each other’s blogs and really make this a blog-hop worth continuing.

With all of that, I think it’s time to just get right to it. Let’s put on our thinking caps, break out our playlists and get to work!  Our theme for Song Lyric Sunday this week is last.

As always, you can go your own way and post a song that has nothing to do with the prompt.  We’re all here sharing our love of music and lyrics, and most of all, having a great time!
