“Penny’s Song” by Joss Whedon

On By JennieIn Music, Quote

“Here’s a story of a girl
who grew up lost and lonely,
thinking love was Fairy Tale
and trouble was made only for me.

Even in the darkness
every color can be found.
And every day of rain
brings water flowing
to things growing in the ground.

Grief replaced with pity
for a city barely coping.
Dreams are easy to achieve
if hope is all I’m hoping to be.

Anytime you’re hurt
there’s one who has it worse around.
And every drop of rain
will keep you growing
seeds you’re sowing in the ground.”

~Joss Whedon

 

“Cover Me Up” by Jason Isbell

On By Christina's WordsIn Music, Video6 Comments

A heart on the run
Keeps a hand on a gun
It can’t trust anyone

I was so sure
What I needed was more
Tried to shoot out the sun

In days when we raged
We flew off the page
Such damage was done

But I made it through
‘Cause somebody knew
I was meant for someone

Jason Isbell performs “Cover Me Up” (embedded video above or HERE for YouTube) at Austin City Limits. From album Southeastern.

(Isbell has just released a DVD of his entire ACL concert. It would make a great gift for any music lovers in your life. Available on Amazon HERE.)

. . . And so I ask where are you now
Just when I needed you
I won’t ask again
Because I know there’s nothing we can do
Not now, darling, you know it’s true

“All the World (I Tell Myself)” by Correatown

On By Christina's WordsIn Music

“So tell me I’m strong, tell me I’m weak
Tell me I’ll never, ever bend
Then tell me I’m fire, tell me I’m cold
Cold oh, I tell myself over, over and over again

I’m ready, I’m ready
I’m ready to believe

So tell me I’m wrong, or tell me I’m cruel
Tell me I’d fight, yeah tell me I fought for the wrong things

But I’m ready, I’m ready
I’m ready to believe”

~ “All the World (I Tell Myself)” performed by Correatown on Spark. Burn. Fade.

“How It Ends” by DeVotchKa

On By Christina's WordsIn Music

“There is no escape from the slave catcher’s songs
For all of the loved ones gone
Forever’s not so long

And in your soul they poked a million holes
But you never let ‘em show
Come on, it’s time to go

And you already know
Yeah, you already know how this will end”
