Sarah McLachlan - U Want Me 2

Los Lonely Boys, "Staying With Me" - KFOG Archives


U Want Me 2 
Sarah McLachlin

You walk on by
Clueless and so high
Following your aimless path away from us
You're so far away
And what can I say
Cause I can't be the one you wanted me to be

So tell me how do you feel
It's so confusing
If you let it all go, it'll fall apart
Do you want me to stay and say I still want you
You want me too, don't you?

So what are we saying
Our eden's a failure
A made-up story to fit the picture-perfect world
The one with "I do"s
and I love you
And we are made for each other
Is forever over now?

And tell me how do you feel
It's so confusing
If you let it all go, it'll fall apart
Do you want me to stay and say I still want you
You want me too, don't you?

I hope there's forgiveness
In the distance between us
Can we make what lies ahead of us a better place to be?

So tell me, how do you feel
It's so confusing
If you let it all go, it'll fall ---
Do you want me to stay and say I still want you
You want me too, don't you?

WOAH dont go running away like you have before OOOO all your wildest dreams are just beyond the door

are you staying with me
stay with me baby

So this is like a wine and cheese party where you pair up a fine wine with a delicious cheese. So my pick of the day is a Sarah McLachlin (very fine wine!) with a Los Lonely Boys (scrumptious!) . But together …. Is this Heaven?

 

Anyway what’s your pairing?

How do you comfort those who are sad?

Posted on Nov 13th, 2008 by Doug : Back Yard Artist Doug
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for November 13, 2008:

I'm quick to listen and slow to talk. I want to create a space that allows for grief and sadness and the comfort knowing they are not alone. Hey, it's an integral part of this experience and there are gifts to be found, if we take the time. It means I have to be willing to be sad too. That part takes a lot of love and it's so much easier to isolate my own feelings and throw them a rope from the deck. "You shouldn't be sad, look at everything you have going for you."

ColorTest

Posted on Nov 25th, 2008 by Doug : Back Yard Artist Doug
Colortest
Watercolor, Bee's wax and Pigment on Folded Paper 22" X 30 "

A color test
like when I hold
a buttercup
under your chin
to see if you
really like butter
only this is not a
buttercup

perhaps it is a
red
or a pink
like your skin
at night in the
candlelight
and I can't
really see
but only feel

the softness
of your moist
shoulder under
my cheek

of the variegated
green like
sunspots through
the forest ceiling
like a Monet
dancing silently

like sailboats
like stars
trailing off
through twilight
wishing
the warmth
of sun
of Saturdays
cut grass scent
as you open
your eyes
to a day of
matinees and
the madness

of pure imagination
of golden Naples
yellow fields
of starry nights
swirling
about our
sitting quietly
reading the old
torn books
of our youth

oh and there is one
more color test
it's that color
in the woods
straight ahead
under the trees
the moonlight
lighting a path to
the right

and you want
to walk into the
light
but you know
the path is ahead
and the color
is unnamed
other then you
know the color
is yours,
even if it is
a bit dark
when the moonlight
is in your eyes
