The Chronicles of a Raving Lunatic

Sorry I haven' been around in a couple weeks. Lots going on. I'll elaborate more later, when I have the time. I just thought it was time for a Music Saturday since I actually had a chance to get on the comp today.

Today's song is:

Jennifer Paige - Crush

Once again, sorry I haven't really been around much lately.  Partly from being gone, partly from not feeling up to it and partly from losing the internet for 2 or three days.  I guess I've been in a bit of a depressed mood lately and it's effecting my online time.  I don't know what it is.  I guess it's just one of my phases.  I've been wanting to sleep a lot or just not really wanting to get out of bed, even though I make myself.  Not that I really do anything then, but it's a step in the right direction.  And my back is tight and hurts pretty bad today.  But enough yacking, on to the music.

This has always been one of my favorite songs.  I even decided long ago that if I ever had a daughter with grey or greyish-hazel eyes I'd call her Windy.

The Association - Windy

Today, I offer a double header. Technically, they're the same song, so I'm including them both. "Locusts" is from the album Burn the Maps. "Lócaistí" they did for Seachtain na Gaeilge 2005 and included on the "SnaG '05" compilation album. I personally like "Lócaistí" better, but I wanted to include the original version for those that didn't want to hear a song in Gaeilge that they wouldn't understand. Not that I do.

Locusts - The Frames

Lócaistí - The Frames

That's about all. I need to get to bed. I should have been sleeping hours ago.

Okay, there are so many different special days here on LJ already, ie. Poetry Tuesday, that all you people participate in that I don't, but I thought I would start one anyway.  From now on, I'm going to do "Music Saturday".  Every Saturday  I'll post lyrics and/or a downloadable song.

Let's start this thing off with Tammy Wynette's "D-I-V-O-R-C-E", since it's been in my head for the last week.

D-I-V-O-R-C-E

Our little boy is four years old and quite a little man
So we spell out the words we don't want him to understand
Like T-O-Y or maybe S-U-R-P-R-I-S-E
But the words we're hiding from him now
Tear the heart right out of me.

Our D-I-V-O-R-C-E becomes final today
Me and little J-O-E will be goin' away
I love you both and it will be pure H-E double L for me
Oh, I wish that we could stop this D-I-V-O-R-C-E.

Watch him smile, he thinks it Christmas
Or his 5th Birthday
And he thinks C-U-S-T-O-D-Y spells fun or play
I spell out all the hurtin' words
And turn my head when I speak
'Cause I can't spell away this hurt
That's drippin' down my cheek.

Our D-I-V-O-R-C-E becomes final today
Me and little J-O-E will be goin' away
I love you both and it will be pure H-E double L for me
Oh, I wish that we could stop this D-I-V-O-R-C-E.
