Glitter in the Air

Pink performed last night at the 2009 Grammy Awards, and it was stellar!



Here are the lyrics to this great song.....

Have you ever fed a lover with just your hands?
Close your eyes and trust it, just trust it
Have you ever thrown a fist full of glitter in the air?
Have you ever looked fear in the face
And said I just don't care?

It's only half past the point of no return
The tip of the iceberg, the sun before the burn
The thunder before lightning, the breath before the phrase
Have you ever felt this way?

Have you ever hated yourself for staring at the phone?
Your whole life waiting on the ring to prove you're not alone
Have you ever been touched so gently you had to cry?
Have you ever invited a stranger to come inside?

It's only half past the point of oblivion
The hourglass on the table, the walk before the run
The breath before the kiss and the fear before the flames
Have you ever felt this way?

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

There you are, sitting in the garden
Clutching my coffee, calling me sugar
You called me sugar

Have you ever wished for an endless night?
Lassoed the moon and the stars and pulled that rope tight
Have you ever held your breath and asked yourself
Will it ever get better than tonight? Tonight

Shine

Collective Soul hales from Stockbridge Georgia and were inducted into the Georgia Hall of Music Fame in 2006. This video is from two days of shows the band did with the Atlanta Symphony Youth Orchestra on April 23 and 24, 2005.

What an experience for those kids to play with a hit band!

Here are the lyrics to Shine:

Give me a word
Give me a sign
Show me where to look
Tell me what will I find (What will I find?)

Lay me on the ground
Fly me in the sky
Show me where to look
Tell me what will I find (What will I find?)

Chorus
Yea, Yea, Yea Oh, Heaven let your light shine down (x4)
Love is in the waterLove is in the air
Show me where to look
Tell me will love be there (Will love be there?)
Teach me how to speak Teach me how to share
Teach me where to go
Tell me will love be there (Will love be there?)

Chorus
Give me a word
Give me a sign
Show me where to look
Tell me what will I find (What will I find?)
Lay me on the ground

Fly me in the sky
Show me where to look
Tell me what will I find (What will I find?)

Chorus
I'm going to let it shine (x2)
Heavens little light gonna shine on me
Yea yea heavens little light gonna shine on meshine, shine on meshine, come on and shine

While the band is not officially a Christian band….some of the members are Christians.

Girlfriend

I usually refer to Averil Lavigne as “that angy young girl” when discussing her music with my teenage daughter because her songs are all a little “mad”. However, it would appear that she’s far from being angry, is not the teenybopper you would imagine, and is even happily married as of this writing.

While her style of music is far, far from the country band Alabama, Averil Lavigne found a style and has stuck with it to the point that most all of her library of music sounds similar.

I particularly like her song “Girlfriend”…..

Don’t pretend
I think you know I’m damn precious
And how, yeah, I’m the motherfucking princess
I can tell you like me too
And you know I’m right.

Back in 2007, Lavigne was sued along with co-writer Lukasz Gottwald and her record title. The complaint contended the song was plagiarized from the song “I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend” performed by The Rubinoos. You can read more about the “p” issue over at this Wikipedia page.

Averil Lavigne’s Myspace page can be found here. Her website can be accessed here, and as of today the video clip is Averil performing “Girlfriend”.
