Track #005 - Hey You

Kate's Playlist - Track #005

Song Title:  Hey You

Artist:  The Clarks

Album:  Another Happy Ending

My thoughts:

In honor of it being 9-11 I want to share my favorite song written about that horrible day.  I don’t think a lot of people even realize that Scott Blasey wrote this song on September 11^th, it’s a fun fact I like to share when given the opportunity.  I love The Clarks.  I listen to them and I feel at ease.  This is one of their songs that gives me peace.

Lyrics:

If you're gonna jump
Hey you, hang on
If you feel like giving up
Hey you, hang on

I won't forget today
The sun is bright the sky is blue
The pain will go away
In another year or two

If you got a phone
Hey you, call home
If you got a voice
Hey you, rejoice

I won't forget today
The sun is bright the sky is blue
I won't forget to pray
Day is night the world is new
The pain will go away
In another year or two
In a hundred years or two

If you're gonna fly
Hey you, don't cry
You gotta live to die
Hey you, goodbye

Track #004 - Believer

Kate's Playlist - Track #004

Song Title:  Believer
Artist:  American Authors
Album:  Oh What a Life

My thoughts:
After this shit storm of a summer.... what?  Too harsh?  Ok, this summer was nothing like I imagined it to be.  For the first time EVER I'm ready for summer to be over.  I'm ready for it to be fall.  I'm welcoming it....

But this song... it puts a smile on my face.  I think its a perfect song for me to rock out to right now.  Because I genuinely do believe that things will get better!

Lyrics:

I’m just a believer
That things will get better
Some can take it or leave it
But I don’t wanna let it go

I’m a little bit sheltered
I’m a little bit scared
I’m a little bit nervous
I’m goin’ no where

I’m a little bit jealous
I’m a little bit slow
I’m a little bit hurtful
And I don’t wanna let it go

No…
And I don’t wanna let it go

I’m a little bit angry
When every one’s around
But I get a little lonely
When no one’s out

I feel my demons
Misleadin’ me

I’m just a believer
That things will get better
Some can take it or leave it
But I don’t wanna let it go

Maybe when I get older
And I’m in the ground
The weight’s off my shoulders
It was bringin’ me down

I’ve never been that lucky
I’ve never tasted fame
I’m always lookin’ for something
But I hate changin’

Time fades
There’s no space
As life breaks new ground

I’m just a believer
That things will get better
Some can take it or leave it
But I don’t wanna let it go

It doesn’t matter what is out there
My head is spinning and it won’t bail out
It doesn’t matter what is out there

Cause time fades
There’s no space
As life breaks new ground

I’m just a believer
That things will get better
Some can take it or leave it
But I don’t wanna let it go
