(((((((thank you waysider)))))))

aside from the fantastic healing words of this song, whenever i felt like i really wanted to just end it all, i played this

grown men who dance like this give me GREAT HOPE

and crazy cheerleaders and gene hackman and love doesn't hurt either

[waysider]

I don't know if this one really changed anything, except maybe my perception of how quickly time slips by us.

Ditto for this one.

[waysider]

And this one made me think about how "stuff" doesn't mean squat if there's no one to share it with....

(Janis Ian penned this one, too.)

i need to go back and listen to your life changing songs, waysider

but i want you to know this song and album got me through most of my senior year in HS or freshman year in college and then sad to say i got witnessed to

[waysider]

Here's one from my pre-way days that still haunts me with the pointed message in the lyrics .

[waysider]

I guess there was a part of me that thought the PFAL class would help me resolve some of the issues I was dealing with.

silly me.

[waysider]

Here's one with a bit of spiritual advise that could quite possibly change your life forever.

i always felt brian and i were soulmates but i guess we wouldn't be good for each other, plus i heard he found someone really wonderful. i'm jealous

sniff

Good gravy. These are nice songs, but so many sad ones. With a couple of exceptions of course. :)/>

PS. Shout to the Lord by Hillsong and Bless the Lord by Zalina Fedotov (from God of Wonders) make me cry. :( But I cry at Hallmark commercials and I bet exie does too.

i'm giving this song to my mom on mother's day this coming sunday along with a love letter

[waysider]

Sweet idea!

[RottieGrrrl]

exie that is so sweet. I can't listen to it I'll start crying. But I bet your Mom will be so moved by that.

next weekend i am going to my 40 year high school reunion so hard to believe

i'm posting this song in honor of this

i was in love with a boy and he with me through our HS years. he didn't want me to go to college. he wanted me to stay home and wait for him. he thought if i went away i would be involved with other boys. i broke up with him. he married a really sweet girl who stayed home. they are not going to be there. i'm kind of glad.

--

ps. if anyone can find a live version of keith whitley singing this (besides his memorial motor cycle run), i would so appreciate it

i lived in nashville when he was in his prime and i adored him (still do)

sniff about everything

[excathedra]

they didn't get all those lyrics exactly right

[excathedra]

[excathedra]

ok ok so what jersey girl goes south how could i not?

[excathedra]

our towers our friends were still there

ok

i'll stop

to quote my own little ditty at the bottom:

A taste for irony has kept more hearts from breaking than a sense of humor, for it takes irony to appreciate the joke which is on oneself.

lots of love,

ex

it's nice to have your own thread kind of like a personal diary lol

anyway i'm really nervous and excited about tomorrow night. we're having our 40th at a bar in sayreville

one of my very best friends, sue belli a, is picking me up. i spent 4 years of HS at her house listening to her older brother beat those drums

her brother graduated with one of my sisters and dated my other sister (we're all one year apart)

anyway, her brother is on tour with bon jovi :eusa_clap:/>

what is the difference between drummer and percussionist?

anyway this song is dedicated to me by bruce (who joey also plays with - and that's another story)

but when you see "mary's dress waves" you need to replace "mary" with "excie"

thank you
