Whitney Houston

—My Love Is Your Love

Whitney Houston - My Love is Your Love

(clap your hands, ya’ll it’ alright) (4 times)

If tomorrow is a judgement day (sing mommy)
And I’m standin’ on the front line
And the Lord ask me what I did with my life
I will say I spent it with you

If I wake up in World War 3
I see destruction and poverty
And I feel like I want to go home
It’s okay if you comin’ with me

(clap your hands, ya’ll it’s alright) (4 times)

‘Cause your love is my love
and my love is your love
It would take an eternity to break us
And the chains of Amistad couldn’t hold us (2 times)

(clap your hands, ya’ll it’s alright) (2 times)

If I lose my fame and fortune
And I’m homeless on the street
And I’m sleepin’ in Grand Central Station
It’s okay if you’re sleepin’ with me

(clap your hands, ya’ll its alright….) (2 times)

As the years they pass us by
we stay young through each other’s eyes
And no matter how old we get
It’s okay as long as I got you babe

(clap your hands, ya’ll it’s alright) (2 times)

‘Cause your love is my love
and my love is your love
It would take an eternity to break us
And the chains of Amistad couldn’t hold us (2 times)

If I should die this very day
Don’t cry, cause on earth we wasn’t meant to stay
And no matter what people say
I’ll be waiting for you after judgement day

‘Cause your love is my love
and my love is your love
It would take an eternity to break us
And the chains of Amistad couldn’t hold us (2 times)

Radiohead

—Creep

mindfullywandering:

Radiohead - Creep

When you were here before
Couldn’t look you in the eye
You’re just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You’re so fucking special
But I ‘m a creep
I ‘m a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don’t belong here

I don’t care if it hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When I’m not around
You’re so fucking special
I wish I was special

But I’m a creep
I’m a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don’t belong here

She’s running out again
She’s running out
She run, run, run run
Run

Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You’re so fucking special
I wish I was special
But I’m a creep
I’m a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don’t belong here
I don’t belong here.

About the song: In the album version, lead singer Thom Yorke sings, “You’re so f—king special.” For radio, he recut it as, “You’re so very special.” Yorke regrets changing the line for the radio version, saying it disturbed the “sentiment of the song.” According to him, the song lost its anger as a result. Yorke says this is about being in love with someone, but not feeling good enough. He describes the feeling as, “There’s the beautiful people and then there’s the rest of us.” Yorke wrote this in 1987 while he was a student at Exeter University in England. He first recorded it acoustic.  Yorke based this on a song called “The Air That I Breathe,” which was written by Albert Hammond and Mike Hazlewood in 1972. After “Creep” was released, Radiohead agreed to share the songwriting royalties, so this is credited to Yorke, Hammond and Hazlewood.  The video was recorded at a club in Oxford called The Zodiac. The 3 blasts of guitar noise that precede the chorus was the result of Jonny Greenwood trying to sabotage a tune he considered too “wimpy.” Yorke claims he received fan mail from “murderers” saying how much they could relate to this song.

Juliet Simm’s Cover of Roxanne

Roxanne
You don’t have to put on the red light
Those days are over
You don’t have to sell your body to the night
Roxanne
You don’t have to wear that dress tonight
Walk the streets for money
You don’t care if it’s wrong or if it’s right

Roxanne
You don’t have to put on the red light
Roxanne
You don’t have to put on the red light

Roxanne put on the red light
Roxanne put on the red light
Roxanne put on the red light
Roxanne put on the red light
Roxanne put on the red light

I loved you since I knew you
I wouldn’t talk down to you
I have to tell you just how I feel
I won’t share you with another boy
I know my mind is made up
So put away your makeup
Told you once I won’t tell you again
It’s a bad way

Roxanne
You don’t have to put on the red light
Roxanne
You don’t have to put on the red light

You don’t have to put on the red light
Roxanne put on the red light
Roxanne put on the red light
Roxanne put on the red light
Roxanne put on the red light
Roxanne put on the red light
Roxanne put on the red light
Roxanne put on the red light
Roxanne put on the red light
Roxanne put on the red light
You don’t have to put on the red light
Roxanne put on the red light
You don’t have to put on the red light
Roxanne put on the red light
Roxanne put on the red light
Roxanne put on the red light

—Trouble

Tony Lucca’s Cover of Ray LaMontagne’s Trouble

Trouble…
Trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble
Trouble been doggin’ my soul since the day I was born
Worry…
Worry, worry, worry, worry
Worry just will not seem to leave my mind alone
We’ll I’ve been…
saved by a woman
I’ve been…
saved by a woman
I’ve been…
saved by a woman
She won’t let me go
She won’t let me go now
She won’t let me go
She won’t let me go now

Trouble…
Oh, trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble
Feels like every time I get back on my feet
she come around and knock me down again
Worry…
Oh, worry, worry, worry, worry
Sometimes I swear it feels like this worry is my only friend
We’ll I’ve been saved…
by a woman
I’ve been saved…
by a woman
I’ve been saved…
by a woman
She won’t let me go
She won’t let me go now
She won’t let me go
She won’t let me go now

Oh…, Ahhhh….
Ohhhh

She gave me love and affection
She good tell me now
She gave me love and affection
I Said I love her
Yes I love her

She good to me now
She’s good to me
She’s good to me

Imogen Heap

—First Train Home

Imogen Heap - First Train Home - Ellipse

I’ve got to get on it
I’ve got to get on it
I’ve got to get on it 

Bodies disengaged our mouths are fleshing over.
It’s just an echo game irises retreating
to ovals of white.
The urge to feel your face
And blood rushing to paint my handprint
A Frisbee one by one
Your vinyl on lamanent
Desperate for some kind of contact.

First train home I’ve got to get on it
First train home I’ve got to get on it
First train home I’ve got to get on it
To Catch to catch catch catch catch.
First train home I’ve got to get on it 
First train home I’ve got to get on it 
First train home I’ve got to get on it 
First Train home

Temporal deadzone where clocks are barely breathing
Yet no one cares to notice for all the yelling
All night clamor to hold it together.
I want to play don’t wait forms in the hideaway
I want to get on with getting on with things
I want to run in fields paint the kitchen
And love someone
And I can’t do any of that here can I?

First train home I’ve got to get on it 
First train home I’ve got to get on it
First train home I’ve got to get on it
First Train home

So what? You’ve had one too many.
So what? I’m not that much fun to be with
So what? You’ve come silly hatter
So what? I didn’t want to come here anyway. 

What matters you doesn’t matter matter to me.
What matters to me doesn’t matter matter to you.
What matters to you doesn’t matter matter to them.
What matters to them doesn’t change anything.

Got to get on it first train home.
Got to get on it first train home

First train home I’ve got to get on it
(I’ve got to get on it)
To catch to catch catch-catch catch.
(First train home)
First train home I’ve got to get on it
First train home.
(First train home)

To go to go to go
Get get get get
Out out out out
Now now now now

Adele

—Make You Feel My Love

Adele - Make You Feel My Love - 19

When the rain
Is blowing in your face
And the whole world
Is on your case
I could offer you
A warm embrace
To make you feel my love

When the evening shadows
And the stars appear
And there is no - one there
To dry your tears
I could hold you
For a million years
To make you feel my love

I know you
Haven’t made
Your mind up yet
But I would never
Do you wrong
I’ve known it
From the moment
That we met
No doubt in my mind
Where you belong
I’d go hungry
I’d go black and blue
I’d go crawling
Down the avenue
Know there’s nothing
That I wouldn’t do
To make you feel my love

The storms are raging
On the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
The winds of change
Are blowing wild and free
You ain’t seen nothing
Like me yet

I could make you happy
Make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn’t do
Go to the ends
Of the Earth for you
To make you feel my love, To make you feel my love

Ne-Yo

—Part Of The List

Ne-Yo - Part of the List - Year of the Gentleman

Style of your hair
Shape of your eyes and your nose
The way you stare as if you see right through to my soul
It’s your left hip and the way it’s not quite big as your right
The way you stand in the mirror before we go out at night
Our quiet time, your beautiful mind

They’re all part of the list
things that I miss
things like your funny little laugh or the way you smile or the way we kiss
what I notice is this
I come up with
Something new every single time that I sit and reminisce

The way your sweet smell lingers when you leave the room
Stories you tell as we lay in bed all afternoon
I dream you now, every night, in my mind is where we meet
And when I’m awake staring at pictures of you asleep
Touching your face
Invading your space

They’re part of the list
Things that I miss
things like your funny little laugh or the way you smile or the way we kiss
what I notice is this
I come up with

Something new every single time that I sit and reminisce
Oh
Will you live in my memories forevermore I swear
and you live in my memories forevermore I swear

They are part of the list
Things that I miss
Things like your funny little laugh or the way you smile or the way we kisWhat I notice is this
I come up with
Something new every single time that I sit and reminisce

Whoaaa said whoaaa I whoaaa whoaaaa whoaaaaa
Whoaaa said whoaaa I whoaaa whoaaaa whoaaaaa
