These words were found in my father's handwriting:

THE HAPPY WANDERER

I. I love to go a wandering, along a mountain track,
And as I go I love to sing, my knapsack on my back.

II. I tip my hat to all I meet, and they wave back to me,
And blue birds sing so loud and sweet, from every greenwood tree. 

IIII. Oh may I always wander, until the day I die,
And may I always laugh and sing, beneath God's dear blue sky.


VIVA LA COMPANIE

I. Let every good fellow now join in the song.
Success to each other and pass it along.

II. A friend on your left and a friend on your right
In love and good fellowship now let us unite.

III. Now wider and wider our circle expands,
Let's sing to our comrades in far away lands.

Can't help it 'bout the shape I'm in,
Can't sing, ain't pretty, and my legs are thin.
But don't ask me what I think of you,
Might not give the answers that you want me to.

Now when I talk to God I knew he'd understand,
He said, "stick to me I'll be your guiding hand,
But don't ask me what I think of you,
Might not give the answers that you want me to.


"Oh Well" -Peter Green, Fleetwood Mac

*not that I agree with this song, but it's food for thought

I think the title is "Sweet Carolina" but in my mind the title ought to be "Pockets full of Dust" or something like it. This song is about how a lost soul can end up in a lonely place.

This video is intended to inspire people to try yoga, but the music speaks even more loudly for peace. It's a reggae tune, I think by Trevor Hall. Pretty inspiring. =-]

You will find me down by the river,
getting high on my mortality;
I'll be holding hands with that nameless beauty,
or whoever wants to stand next to me.

--Sinead Lohan lyric

Betty came by on our way
said she had a word to say
'bout things today
and falling leaves
the rest )

When I grow up I'm gonna be a tree
Wanta make my home with the birds and the bees and
The squirrels they can count on me
When I grow up to be a tree
refrain is: I'm gonna reach--another Misty River tune )

Old memories mean nothing to me
G A D
They've all gone away from me now
G A Gm
I'm alone in the night, it's to plain to see
D A D
that old memories mean nothing to me
the recording I have is sung by Misty River--looks like W and I are putting together a set of duets we can sing =-] )

Spirit of Life, come unto me.
Sing in my heart all the stirrings of compassion.
Blow in the wind, rise in the sea;
Move in the hand, giving life the shape of justice.
Roots hold me close; wings set me free;
Spirit of Life, come to me, come to me.

Spirit of Love, come unto me.
Deep in my soul all the mystery of creation.
Teach me to care, peace let there be;
Lead me to truth, showing forth the paths of wisdom.
Roots hold me close, wings set me free,
Spirit of Love, come to me, come to me.

This is the song that they sing weekly in the Unitarian Universalist services; hear Kevin sing the melody behind the cut. )

Such a sad song... Suz, can you play this one?

liveonearth: (Default)
It's kind of a bluesy number, directed at Obama...
liveonearth: (Default)
Everybody's wonderin' what and where they all came from
Everybody's worried 'bout where they're gonna go when the whole thing's done
Nobody knows for certain so it's all the same to me
I think I'll just let the mystery be
an old traditional )

DNR means DO NOT RESUSCITATE. When a patient in the hospital is in very bad shape, and everyone including them knows they are going to die soon no matter what medical miracles are applied, it is a great relief to see a DNR order on their chart. No one wants to use horribly violent measures to save a life that is on its way out anyway, but if there is no DNR order, the hospital staff is required by law to do CPR etc on you if your heart stops. This version is sung by a few acute care nurses, and sung to Rockstar by Nickelback. It expresses the sentiment of having had quite enough medical care already, and wishing to be allowed to live and die in peace. And it's pretty cute. "We all just wanna be a DNR."
