Tomorrow...
I can't stop listening to this song. The lyrics are raw and the video is deep. My kind of song.
Tomorrow lyrics
Tomorrow I'm gonna leave here
I'm gonna let you go and walk away like every day I said I would
And tomorrow, I'm gonna listen
To that voice of reason inside my head telling me that we're no good
But tonight I'm gonna give in one last time
Rock you strong in these arms of mine
Forget all the regrets that are bound to follow
We're like fire and gasoline
I'm no good for you
You're no good for me
We only bring each other tears and sorrow
But tonight, I'm gonna love you like there's no tomorrow
Tomorrow I'll be stronger
I'm not gonna break down and call you up when my heart cries out for you
And tomorrow, you won't believe it
but when I pass your house
I won't stop no matter how bad I want to
Baby when we're good, you know we're great
But there's too much bad for us to think,
that there's anything worth trying to save
Tomorrow, I'm gonna leave here
I'm gonna let you go and walk away like every day I said I would
Breathtaking, Beautiful, & Moving...
I absolutely love the song "Turning Tables" by Adele. The depth and emotion it provokes is fantastic and startling. Last night on SYTYCD, this contemporary routine completely captured the essence of the song. Watching the dance gave me chills. That doesn't happen very often for me. Well done Caitlyn and Mitchell.
Turning Tables lyrics
Close enough to start a war
All that I have is on the floor
God only knows what we're fighting for
All that I say, you always say more
I can't keep up with your turning tables
Under your thumb I can't breathe
So, I won't let you close enough to hurt me
No, I won't ask you, you to just desert me
I can't give you the heart you think you gave me
It's time to say goodbye to turning tables
To turning tables
Under haunted skies I see you
Where love is lost your ghost is found
I braved a hundred storms to leave you
As hard as you try, no, I will never be knocked down
I can't keep up with your turning tables
Under your thumb I can't breathe
So, I won't let you close enough to hurt me,
No, I won't ask you, you to just desert me
I can't give you the heart you think you gave me
It's time to say goodbye to turning tables
To turning tables
Next time I'll be braver
I'll be my own savior
When the thunder calls for me
Next time I'll be braver
I'll be my own savior
Standing on my own two feet
I won't let you close enough to hurt me,
No, I won't ask you, you to just desert me
I can't give you the heart you think you gave me
It's time to say goodbye to turning tables
To turning tables
Turning tables, yeah
Turning, oh
I love Scotty McCreery...
*Warning*: The following post is incredibly cheesy and ridiculous. You have been warned. Proceed if you so desire.
Being home with my family the past month I was able to watch American Idol. When I was back in Utah I could never talk to my family if I called on Wednesday nights because "Idol" was on. Heaven forbid I might interrupt Idol! What's more important, me or American Idol? Well, they got me hooked. I became a hardcore and faithful fan.
Scotty McCreery is adorable! And, I love, love, love his voice!! Watching his homecoming footage made me tear up. He seems so humble and kind. An all around good kid. He and Lauren Alaina give me hope that today's youth are not completely lost. Watching Scotty and Lauren perform, seeing their sweet innocence, warmed my heart. The fact that they were the two finalists gave me hope in America...that maybe the American Dream isn't entirely lost. Maybe the American people recognize goodness when they see it. That being good is rewarding and worth it.
I hope Hollywood and fame do not corrupt these sweet teenagers. They're so young and talented. After their adorable kiss and Scotty's playful declaration of "I love you baby!" in the finale, I admit I fantasized about the two of them dating and getting married. How cute would that be? An American Idol couple! See, I told ya this was going to be cheesy.
If it all works out the way I plan, they will be the Tim McGraw and Faith Hill of this generation. Here's to hoping! :-)

There's a place for us...
My friend Emily shared this song with me the other day at work. Watching the music video I felt the spirit so strongly. The lyrics capture the essence of the gospel and the hope of the atonement. I know, without a doubt, that there's a place for us. There is more than just this life.
There's a place out there for us,
more than just a prayer or anything you've ever dreamed of.
So if you feel like giving up cause you don't fit in down here,
fear is crashing in, close your eyes and take my hand.
We can be the kings and queens of anything if we believe.
It's written in the stars that shine above,
a world where you and I belong, where faith and love will keep us strong,
exactly who we are is just enough
there's a place for us, there's a place for us.
When the water meets the sky,
where your heart is free and hope comes back to life,
when these broken hands are whole again,
well will find what we've been waiting for,
we were made for so much more
We can be the kings and queens of anything if we believe.
It's written in the stars that shine above,
a world where you and I belong, where faith and love will keep us strong,
exactly who we are is just enough,
there's a place for us, there's a place for us
So hold on, now hold on,
there's a place for us
We can be the kings and queens of anything if we believe.
It's written in the stars that shine above,
a world where you and I belong, where faith and love will keep us strong,
exactly who we are is just enough, exactly who we are is just enough,

Songs of March Madness...
Each month I'll be posting a playlist of the songs I've played on repeat over the past 28, 30, or 31 days. Music defines my life experience. My present reality. Gangsta tunes are fun for working out. Singer-songwriters are my favorite artists.
So here's to you March, the month of madness...

"Kiss Goodbye"
This song and video are equally beautiful...
Here are the lyrics...
When you lose something,
it's all that you want back.
You waited patiently.
But it don't work like that.
When you lose someone,
the first thing that goes through your head,
is if you run fast enough,
you just might catch up.
But it don't work like that.
You just gotta watch it fly.
Stand there on the side line.
Wanna swallow up your pride.
Know it's gonna be alright.
Wishing when I close your eyes
With a kiss goodbye...
Well the hardest part,
Yeah it hurts so bad,
is when she spreads her wings,
but it'd be a selfish thing,
to try and hold her back,
but it don't work like that.
You just gotta watch it fly.
Stand there on the side line.
Wanna swallow up your pride.
Know it's gonna be alright.
Wishing when i close your eyes
like a kiss goodbye...
When you lose something
It's all that you want back.
You just gotta watch it fly.
Stand there on the side line
Wanna swallow up your pride,
know it's gonna be alright,
wishing i could close your eyes,
with a kiss goodbye...
Like a kiss goodbye.

Some of My Favorite Christmas Songs...
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...everywhere you go. There's a tree in the Church Office Building, one in the park as well--the sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow. Baby it's cold outside so let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! I'm dreaming of a white Christmas with every Christmas card I have yet to write. There's nothing that's going to slow me down this Christmas I'll be home. Ah and I wish I could ask someone...what are you doing new year's eve?

Words from Taylor...
Taylor Swift can't help it--she knows how to write a good song. She captures classic feelings and emotions with simple words combined in perfect ways. With every album she produces, she gets better. Her most recent album--"Speak Now"--is fantastic. I listen to it on repeat in my car the same as I did when "Fearless" came out a few years ago. I've compiled some lines and excerpts from some of Taylor's songs that speak to me.
Thank you Taylor for writing things I've felt and wanted to say.
Wasn't it beautiful when you believed in everything
Life makes love look hard
People throw rocks at things that shine
I don't know how to be something you miss
May these memories break our fall
I took your matches before fire could catch me
You paint me a blue sky
and go back and turn it to rain
And I lived in your chess game,
but you changed the rules every day
I just realized everything I had is someday gonna be gone
I'm just a girl trying to find a place in this world
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down
You have a way of coming easily to me
And when you take, you take the very best of me
And you do what you want 'cause I'm not what you wanted
Every smile you fake is so condescending
Counted all the scars you made
I think he can see through everything but my heart
Lost your balance on a tight rope
Its never too late to get it back

My current theme song: "Little Miss" by Sugarland...
This song describes me and where I am at my life perfectly. As Sarah and I say, "It speaks to my soul."
Little Miss
Little miss down on love
Little miss I give up
Little miss I'll get tough, don't you worry 'bout me anymore
Little miss checkered dress
Little miss one big mess
Little miss I'll take less when and I always give so much more
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
Yeah, sometimes you gotta lose 'til you win
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
And it'll be alright again
It'll be alright again, I'm okay
It'll be alright again, I'm okay
It'll be alright again, I'm okay
Little miss do your best
Little miss never rest
Little miss be my guest, I'll make more anytime that it runs out
Little miss you'll go far
Little miss hide your scars
Little miss who you are is so much more than you like to talk about
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
Yeah, sometimes you gotta lose 'til you win
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
And it'll be alright again
It'll be alright again, I'm okay
It'll be alright again, I'm okay (okay)
It'll be alright again, I'm okay
Oh Lord
Oh, and you are loved
Are loved
Little miss brand new scar
Little miss do your part
Little miss big ol' heart beats wide open
She's ready now for love
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
And sometimes you gotta lose 'til you win

And it'll be alright again
It'll be alright again, I'm okay

"Breathe Again" by Sara Bareilles
I am absolutely in love with Sara Bareilles' new album Kaleidoscope. I listen to it literally every day. I identify with so many of the songs. Her lyrics are whimsical and inspired. Right now my favorite song is "Breathe Again":
Car is parked, bags are packed, but what kind of heart doesn't look back
At the comfortable glow from the porch, the one I will still call yours?
All those words came undone and now I'm not the only one
Facing the ghosts that decide if the fire inside still burns
All I have, all I need, he's the air I would kill to breathe
Holds my love in his hands, still I'm searching for something
Out of breath, I am left hoping someday I'll breathe again
I'll breathe again
Open up next to you and my secrets become your truth
And the distance between what was sheltering me comes in full view
Hang my head, break my heart built from all I have torn apart
And my burden to bear is a love I can't carry anymore
All I have, all I need, he's the air I would kill to breathe
Holds my love in his hands, still I'm searching for something
Out of breath, I am left hoping someday I'll breathe again
It hurts to be here
I only wanted love from you
It hurts to be here
What am I gonna do?
All I have, all I need, he's the air I would kill to breathe
Holds my love in his hands, still I'm searching
All I have, all I need, he's the air I would kill to breathe
Holds my love in his hands, still I'm searching for something
Out of breath, I am left hoping someday I'll breathe again
I'll breathe again
If Love was Enough...
I am LOVING this song right now...
"If Love Was Enough" by Graham Colton
Click here to listen to it!
There was a time
There was a place
And everything we had was innocent
I'd go back again
I touched your hand the day we met
There's just some things you don't forget
You were standing in your dress without your shoes
That's how I remember you
If love was enough I'd wrap it around you
If love was enough to make you stay
If love was enough it would surround you
If love was enough for you
There was a road we never took
Through my eyes I see how it looks
It was everything I know we could have been
But I can't go back again
If love was enough I'd wrap it around you
If love was enough to make you stay
If love was enough it would surround you
If love was enough for you
It's never enough
So I'm giving you up
All the love in the world it'll never be enough for you
If love was enough
I'd wrap it around you
If love was enough maybe you'd stay
I still remember when love was enough
And you let it surround you
Now it's never enough
If love was enough I'd wrap it all around you
If love was enough maybe you'd stay
And you'd still be here with me
If love was enough it would always surround you
If love was enough for you
If love was enough for you
