Get it right next time

I'm sure you're all aware of Gerry Rafferty's passing this week. Again this was another artist I got into due to my Dad's CD collection. Although "Baker Street" is probably Rafferty's most talked about song it's another one that hits home to me.

This girl is off to New York

In the lyrics of the Jay Z and Alicia Keys song "Empire State of Mind" this best sums up how I feel about my trip to New York.

Surviving

I'll stand at your shoulder

I'll keep you running right

Keep you running right

I'll fight in your corner

I'll stay by your side

I'll stay by your side

Feel this By Haley James Scott (Bethany Joy Galeotti)

One Tree Hill is still one of my favourite TV programmes and Season 7 will soon hit the UK, although I'm not sure I like the fact that Hilarie Burton (Peyton) and Chad Michael Murray (Lucas) have gone. I've been watching a bit of the old stuff on E4 recently, and for some reason I have even Sky+'d some even though I have them all on DVD. Weird.

Jeff Buckley - Lover, You Should've Come Over

Looking out the door I see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners
Parading in a wake of sad relations as their shoes fill up with water
And maybe i'm too young to keep good love from going wrong
But tonight you're on my mind so you never know

Broken down and hungry for your love but no way to feed it
Where are you tonight, child you know how much i need it
Too young to hold on and too old to just break free and run

Sometimes a man gets carried away, when he feels like he should be having his fun
And much too blind to see the damage he's done
Sometimes a man must awake to find that really, he has no-one

So I'll wait for you..... and I'll burn
Will i ever see your sweet return
Oh will I ever learn

Oh lover, you should've come over
'cause it's not too late

Lonely is the room, the bed is made, the open window lets the rain in
Burning in the corner is the only one who dreams he had you with him
My body turns and yearns for a sleep that won't ever come

It's never over, my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder
It's never over, all my riches for her smiles when i slept so soft against her
It's never over, all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter
It's never over, she's the tear that hangs inside my song forever

Well maybe I'm just too young
To keep good love from going wrong

Oh.... lover, you should've come over
'cause it's not too late

Well I feel too young to hold on
And I'm much too old to break free and run
Too deaf, dumb, and blind to see the damage I've done

Sweet lover, you should've come over
Oh, love well I'm waiting for you

Lover, you should've come over
Cause it's not too late........

Halo - Bethany Joy Galeotti (Haley James Scott, One Tree Hill) A song from the show

I never promised you a ray of light, 
I never promised there'd be sunshine everyday, 
I give you everything I have, the good, the bad. 
Why do you put me on a pedestal, 
I'm so up high that I can't see the ground below, 
So help me down you've got it wrong, I don't belong there. 

One thing is clear, 
I wear a halo, 
I wear a halo when you look at me, 
But standing from here, you wouldn't say so 
you wouldn't say so, if you were me 
And I, I just wanna love you, 
Oh oh I, I just wanna love you 

I always said that I would make mistakes, 
I'm only human, and that's my saving grace, 
I fall as hard as I try 
So don't be blinded 
See me as I really am, I have flaws and sometimes I even sin, 
so pull me from that pedestal, 
I don't belong there. 

One thing is clear, 
I wear a halo, 
I wear a halo when you look at me, 
But standing from here, you wouldn't say so 
you wouldn't say so, if you were me 
And I, I just wanna love you, 
Oh oh I, I just wanna love you 

Why you think that you know me 
But In your eyes 
I am something above you 
It's only in your mind 
Only in your mind 
I wear a 
I wear a 
I wear a Halo 

My Music

As you can see from the above playlist my music is quite a varied bunch, and that playlist was specially chosen to complement each other.

At the moment I have got Lily Allen's "Not Fair" song in my head, its just got such a catchy tune and the song lyrics do make me chuckle! I just downloaded the Remote application for the iphone, now I can control my itunes on my computer from my phone, it's just amazing! Not sure why I hadn't downloaded it before to be honest.

I'm going to watch the film "Empire Records" tonight for probably the millionth time. I know I'm not the one only one who wanted to work in that record store, how cool would that be!

Bye for now

Sarah
