Tuesday Tunage: Sunshine Song

You know I love him...so I gotta share. Love this song; music & lyrics. Freakin Awesome Message!!! Sometimes we need to borrow a li'l sunshine from someone else, and then, when we are back on our feet and have enough to give, we need to share it, spread the sunshine on. Totally "melty". Totally makes me wish I was at the concert this year.



Well sometimes the sun shines on
Other people's houses and not mine.
Some days the clouds paint the sky all gray
And it takes away my summertime.
Somehow the sun keeps shining upon you,

While I struggle to get mine.
If there's a light in everybody,
Send out your ray of sunshine.

I want to walk the same roads as everybody else,
Through the trees and past the gates.
Getting high on heavenly breezes,
Making new friends along the way.
I won't ask much of nobody,
I'm just here to sing along.
And make my mistakes looks gracious,
And learn some lessons from my wrongs.

Well sometimes the sun shines on
Other people's houses and not mine.
Some days the clouds paint the sky all gray
And it takes away my summertime.
Somehow the sun keeps shining upon you,
While I struggle to get mine.
A little light never hurt nobody,
Send out your ray of sunshine.

Oh, if this little light of mine
Combined with yours today,
How many watts could we luminate?
How many villages could we save?
And my umbrella's tired of the weather,
Wearing me down.
Well, look at me now.

You should look as good as your outlook,
Would you mind if I took some time,
to soak up your light, your beautiful light?
You've got a paradise inside.
I get hungry for love and thirsty for life,
And much too full on the pain,
When I look to the sky to help me
And sometimes it looks like rain.

As the sun shines on other people's houses
And not mine,
And the sky paints those clouds in a way
That it takes away the summertime,
Somehow the sun keeps shining upon you,
while I kindly stand by.
If theres a light in everybody,
Send out your ray of sunshine

You're undeniably warm, you're cerulean,
You're perfect in desire.
Won't you hang around
so the sun, it can shine on me,
And the clouds they can roll away,
And the sky can become a possibility?
If there's a light in everybody,
Send out your ray of sunshine.

Tuesday Tunage: "After An Afternoon"

In Honor of his 32nd Birthday today, I want to share one of my favorite songs, sung by my boyfriend Jason Mraz.

I like this song because I too feel like a past relationship offended my faith and trust, until all was lost; and the beauty is I can love again.

And when he sings, "your rich brown eyes Your lips and your dark hair", yeah... well I know pretend that was written for me... not to mention the "Face to palm, Tear to tear, And Mouth to tongue..." oh...yeah...

It's three minutes that reminds you what love feels like. Enjoy...

I bare my windowed self untamed and untrained
Dreams that hardly touch our complexions truest faults
If room enough for both my drowsy spirit shall fall
Bold waves tumble, are to the season of my heart
And You have offended my faith and my trust
Until all is lost into the beauty of the day
Until all is lost
(yeah, see-yeah, see-yeah)
And I think It's Lost

And there's something in the way you laugh
And it makes me feel like a child
Aspects of life they confuse me
You and your thesis amuse me
After an afternoon with you
And your rich brown eyes
Your lips and your dark hair
Elbows and exposed knees tossing toward your ceiling
After an afternoon

Face to palm
Tear to tear
And
Mouth to tongue
Heart to ground
Heart to ground
Say, "I am in love"
Say, "Heart to ground"
Say, everything
Oh, Heart
Oh, Heart
Oh, Heart to ground
I am in love

Thursday Tunage: Sleeping to Dream

I'm dreaming of sleeping next to you
I'm feeling like a lost little boy in a brand new town.
I'm counting my sheep and each one that passes is another dream to ashes
and they all fall down.
And as I lay me down tonight,
I close my eyes, what a beautiful sight.

Sleeping to dream about you
and I'm so damn tired.
Of havin' to live without you
But I, I don't mind.
I'm Sleeping to dream about you and I'm so tired.
Oh, yes I am

I found myself in the riches
Your eyes, your lips, your hair
Well you were everywhere, out there.
But I woke up in the ditches.
I hit the light and I thought you might be here
But you were nowhere. Oh love,
Well, you were nowhere at home.
And As I lay me back to sleep,
This love I pray that I can Keep.

Sleeping to dream about you
and I'm so damn tired.
Of having to live without you
But I, I don't mind.
I'm Sleeping to dream about you and I'm so tired.

I'm so tired.

Well its Just a little lullaby to keep myself from crying myself
a little lullaby to keep...
Just a little lullaby to keep myself from crying myself
a little lullaby to keep myself
eyes are almost crying, just a little lullaby
Oh Once I dry my eyes I'll come on now...

Sleeping to dream about you
and I'm so damn tired.
Of having to live without you
But I, I don't mind.
Sleeping to dream about you and I'm so tired.
I'm so...tired.

Tuesday Tunage: "I'm Yours"

One time as a kid I remember my dad saying he really didn't care for musicals. I asked him why. His response? "It's just not realistic; people breaking into song at any given moment in any given place..." I remember thinking, "That's not normal?"

I guess I am just so into music that I often have various "soundtracks" for my life playing through my mind. Perhaps it's just that I hear a song and think, "That is exactly what I am feeling right now!" So, then I latch on to that song and play it over and over and can't get enough. Drives my kids nuts. I am not like people who say, "I don't really listen to the words... just the music." Not me. I listen to the lyrics; I love lyrics.

Here's the latest song stuck in my head. (Sorry, John Mayer. I'm going outside of our "relationship" for this one.) It's so how I'm feeling right now...

Here's Jason Mraz with "I'm Yours".

[by the way, it uses the word "damn" twice...just a caution for those who may be offended]

Well, you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you’re so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks, now I'm tryin to get back
before the cool done run out I'll be givin it my best test
and nothin's gonna stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some

But I won't hesitate no more,
no more, it cannot wait
I'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me
open up your plans and damn you're free
look into your heart and you'll find love love love love
listen to the music of the moment people dance and sing
We're just one big family
And it's our godforsaken right to be loved loved loved loved loved

So, I won't hesitate no more,
no more, it cannot wait I’m sure
there's no need to complicate our time is short
this is our fate
I'm yours

Doo-ja doo doo doo-ja
ba-doo-ja doo-ja doo-doo
ba-doo-ja you want to come on

Scooch on over closer, dear
And I will nibble your ear

swoo-dee wabbwa wabbwa wo
Wo.........................................hmmm

I've been spendin' way too long checkin' my tongue in the mirror
and bendin' over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
and so I drew a new face and I laughed
I guess what I'd be sayin' is there ain't no better reason
to rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons
it's what we aim to do
our name is our virtue

But I won't hesitate no more,
no more it cannot wait
I'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me
open up your plans and damn you're free
look into your heart and you will find that the sky is yours

so please don't, please don't, please don't,
there's no need to complicate,
Cause our time is short
This-o, this-o, this is our fate,
I'm yours
