Themes to Ride Along

It feels so good when you get to hear the music of the past, particularly the ones you’re not so familiar with. One great example is the ‘New Wave’ type of music during the 80s. They are totally feel-good music to my ears. One of my favorites from my selection is Ghost in You by the Psychedelic Furs. It totally brings back great memories and relieves me from stress. Makes me forget about car problems and busted ignition coils.

Anyway, if you want to feel the spirit of the 80’s, sing-along with me with the complete lyrics provided below. Reveal the real Ghost in You!

***
Ghost in You
Psychedelic Furs

A man in my shoes runs a light
All the papers lie tonight
But falling over you
Is the news of the day

Angels fall like rain
And love, is all of heaven way
Inside you the time moves and she dont fade
The ghost in you she dont fade away

The race is on, Im on your side
But hearing you my engines died
Im in the mood for you
Or for running away

All the stars come down in you
But love, love, love you cant give it away
Inside you the time moves and she dont fade
The ghost in you she dont fade
Inside you the time moves and she dont fade away
Dont you know she dont fade

Dont you go it makes no sense
And all these talking supermen
Just take away the time just to get it away
Aint it just like the rain
Cause love, love, love, love is only heaven away
Inside you the time moves and she dont fade
The ghost in you she dont fade away

Inside you the time moves and she dont fade away
The ghost in you she dont fade

A man in my shoes runs a light
But all the papers lie tonight
Falling over you is the news of the day
And love will not fade away
And love love love will not fade away

The weekend has finally arrived! Time to give myself a pleasurable day beside the pool along with a plate of Italian pasta and shrimps! And of course, how can I forget? Relaxation won’t be complete without some cool music.

This time, I prefer playing a bunch of R&Bs from NE-YO to soothe my stressed mind and body. One of my favorites from his latest album is ‘Go on Girl’. The beat and harmony is the best so far. Try to listen to the song and sing along. Here are the lyrics… Go on girl!

***
Go on Girl
NE-YO

I cant get it back, but
I dont want it back, i
Realized that,
She dont know how to act
Never been a dumb dude
No im not dense
I Just had a slight lack
Of common sense
I was the good guy
She was the bad girl
Im thinking one girl
She thinking me, earl james and jimmy
Yep she had plenty
But love for me, she didnt have any

I was inviting, her into my heart
But she was out riding in some other man’s car
She was my night time, thought I was her star
Guess I was wrong, but see im strong
Wont take me long for me to move on

Please dont worry bout me im fine
(Please dont worry bout me im fine)
Only gonna play the fool one time
(Only gonna play the fool one time)
Trust me when I say
That i’ll be ok
Go on girl
(Go on girl)
Go on girl
(Go on girl)
Go on girl

I cant get it back, but
I dont want it back, i
Realized that,
She dont know how to act
Tried to settle down and look what I get
Thought it was my time, but I guess not yet
She at the bar getting drinks from many men
Im in the house, thinking shes with her girlfriends
Trust not knowing, truly not knowing
I look back now like, man, I was open

I was inviting, her into my heart
But she was out riding in some other man’s car
She was my night time, thought I was her star
Guess I was wrong, but see im strong
Wont take me long for me to move on

Please dont worry bout me im fine
(Please dont worry bout me im fine)
Only gonna play the fool one time
(Only gonna play the fool one time)
Trust me when I say
That i’ll be ok
Go on girl
(Go on girl)
Go on girl
(Go on girl)
Go on girl

The mistake i made is clear
(we never shoulda been together)
Thats the reason youre not here
(I know that I can do much better)
Not a single salty tear
Not a feeling in my chest
Baby im feeling no stress
Im too fly to be depressed

Go on Girl
Go on Girl
Go on Girl
Go on Girl

Please dont worry bout me im fine
(Please dont worry bout me im fine)
Only gonna play the fool one time
(Only gonna play the fool one time)
Trust me when I say
That i’ll be ok
Go on girl
(Go on girl)
Go on girl
(Go on girl)
Go on girl

For the past two weeks, all I did was listen to classic mushy songs! Oh yeah, along with the bright full moon, it makes me feel good inside whenever I hear the sweet melody passing through my ears.

A while ago, after finishing my snacks, I played and listened to the song ‘When She Cries’ by Restless Heart while cleaning my floor mats in our garage. Cleaning some stuff has never been this fun! You can try it as well. Here’s the lyrics of the song. Sing along and have fun!

***
When She Cries
Marc Beeson and Sonny LeMaire

The road I have travelled on
Is paved with good intentions
It’s littered with broken dreams
That never quite came true
When all of my hopes were dying
Her love kept me trying
She doesn’t has to hide
The pain that she’s been through

When she cries at night
And she doesn’t think that I can hear her
She tries to hide all the fears she feels inside
So I pray this time
I can be the man that she deserves
‘Cause I die a little each time
When she cries

She’s always been there for me
Whenever I’m falling
When nobody else believed
She’d be there by my side
I don’t know how she takes it
Just once I like to make it
Then the tears of joy
Will fill her loving eyes

When she cries at night
And she doesn’t think that I can hear her
She tries to hide all the fears she feels inside
So I pray this time
I can be the man that she deserves
‘Cause I die a little each time
When she cries

So I pray this time
I can be the man that she deserves
‘Cause I die a little each time
When she cries

Don’t Dream It’s Over
Neil Finn

There is freedom within, there is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
There’s a battle ahead, many battles are lost
But you’ll never see the end of the road
While you’re traveling with me

Hey now, hey now
Don’t dream it’s over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won’t win

Now I’m towing my car, there’s a hole in the roof
My possessions are causing me suspicion but there’s no proof
In the paper today tales of war and of waste
But you turn right over to the T.V. page

Hey now, hey now
Don’t dream it’s over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won’t win

Now I’m walking again to the beat of a drum
And I’m counting the steps to the door of your heart
Only shadows ahead barely clearing the roof
Get to know the feeling of liberation and relief

Hey now, hey now
Don’t dream it’s over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
Don’t ever let them win

Hey now, hey now
Don’t dream it’s over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
Don’t ever let them win

Where do you think is the end of the blacktop? Keith Urban knows. The country music singer, who is famed for bagging a much-deserved Australian Grammy Award, is adored for his moving songs and soulful voice.

One of my personal favorites is Where The Blacktop Ends. The song goes this way…

Where The Blacktop Ends
Keith Urban
 
Gonna kick off my shoes
And run in bare feet
Where the grass and the dirt and the gravel all meet
Goin’ back to the well gonna visit old friends
And feed my soul where the blacktop ends

I’m lookin’ down the barrel of Friday night
Ridin’ on a river of freeway lights
Goodbye city I’m country bound
‘Til Monday rolls around

Gonna kick off my shoes
And run in bare feet
Where the grass and the dirt and the gravel all meet
Goin’ back to the well gonna visit old friends
And feed my soul where the blacktop ends

Workin’ in the grind is an uphill road
Punchin’ that clock and carryin’ that load
I bust it all week and then I’m free
The weekend belongs to me

Gonna kick off my shoes
And run in bare feet
Where the grass and the dirt and the gravel all meet
Goin’ back to the well gonna visit old friends
And feed my soul where the blacktop ends

So, come on and give me some fresh air give me that farm
Give me some time with you in my arms
Far away from the hustle and the pressure and the noise

Gonna kick off my shoes
And run in bare feet
Where the grass and the dirt and the gravel all meet
Goin’ back to the well gonna visit old friends
And feed my soul, you betcha

Gonna kick off my shoes
And run in bare feet
Where the grass and the dirt and the gravel all meet
Goin’ back to the well gonna visit old friends
And feed my soul where the blacktop ends

Where the blacktop ends
Where the blacktop ends
