Loreena McKennitt, pretty much any of her songs. She has a story behind them.

The Highwayman

The wind was a torrent of darkness
Among the gusty trees
The moon was a ghostly galleon
Tossed upon the cloudy seas

The road was a ribbon of moonlight
Over the purple moor
And the highwayman came riding
Riding, riding

The highwayman came riding
Up to the old inn-door

He'd a French cocked hat on his forehead
A bunch of lace at his chin
A coat of claret velvet
And breeches of brown doe-skin

They fitted with never a wrinkle
His boots were up to the thigh
And he rode with a jeweled twinkle
His pistol butts a-twinkle

His rapier hilt a-twinkle
Under the jeweled sky

And over the cobbles he clattered
And clashed in the dark inn yard
And he tapped with his whip on the shutters
But all was locked and barred

He whistled a tune to the window
And who should be waiting there
But the landlord's black-eyed daughter
Bess, the landlord's daughter

Plaiting a dark red love-knot
Into her long black hair

"One kiss, my bonny sweetheart
I'm after a prize tonight
But I shall be back with the yellow gold
Before the morning light

Yet if they press me sharply
And harry me through the day
Then look for me by the moonlight
Watch for me by the moonlight

I'll come to thee by the moonlight
Though hell should bar the way

He rose upright in the stirrups
He scarce could reach her hand
But she loosened her hair in the casement
His face burnt like a brand

As the black cascade of the perfume
Came tumbling over his breast
And he kissed its waves in the moonlight
Oh, sweet waves in the moonlight

He tugged at his rein in the moonlight
And galloped away to the west

He did not come at the dawning
He did not come at noon
And out of the tawny sunset
Before the rise o' the moon

When the road was a gypsy's ribbon
Looping the purple moor
A red-coat troop came marching
Marching, marching

King George's men came marching
Up to the old inn-door

They said no word to the landlord
They drank his ale instead
But they gagged his daughter and bound her
To the foot of her narrow bed

Two of them knelt at the casement
With muskets at their side
There was death at every window
Hell at one dark window

For Bess could see through the casement
The road that he would ride

They had tied her up to attention
With many a niggering jest
They had bound a musket beside her
With the barrel beneath her breast

"Now keep good watch", and they kissed her
She heard the dead man say
"Look for me by the moonlight
Watch for me by the moonlight

I'll come to thee by the moonlight
Though hell should bar the way"

She twisted her hands behind her
But all the knots held good
She writhed her hands till her fingers
Were wet with sweat or blood

They stretched and strained in the darkness
And the hours crawled by like years
Till now on the stroke of midnight
Cold on the stroke of midnight

The tip of one finger touched it
The trigger at least was hers

Tlot-tlot, tlot-tlot, had they heard it?
The horses hoofs ring clear
Tlot-tlot, tlot-tlot, in the distance
Were they deaf that they did not hear?

Down the ribbon of moonlight
Over the brow of the hill
The highwayman came riding
Riding, riding

The red-coats looked to their priming
She stood up straight and still

Tlot, in the frosty silence
Tlot, in the echoing night
Nearer he came and nearer
Her face was like a light

Her eyes grew wide for a moment
She drew one last deep breath
Then her finger moved in the moonlight
Her musket shattered the moonlight

Shattered her breast in the moonlight
And warned him with her death

He turned, he spurred to the west
He did not know she stood
Bowed with her head o'er the musket
Drenched with her own red blood

Not till the dawn he heard it
His face grew gray to hear
How Bess, the landlord's daughter
The landlord's black-eyed daughter

Had watched for her love in the moonlight
And died in the darkness there

And back, he spurred like a madman
Shrieking a curse to the sky
With the white road smoking behind him
And his rapier brandished high

Blood-red were the spurs in the gold moon
Wine-red was his velvet coat
When they shot him down on the highway
Down like a dog on the highway

And he lay in his blood on the highway
With the bunch of lace at his throat

Still of a winter's night, they say
When the wind is in the trees
When the moon is a ghostly galleon
Tossed upon the cloudy seas

When the road is a ribbon of moonlight
Over the purple moor
A highwayman comes riding
Riding, riding

A highwayman comes riding
Up to the old inn-door

All of Me by John Legend

[Verse 1:]
What would I do without your smart mouth?
Drawing me in, and you kicking me out
You've got my head spinning, no kidding, I can't pin you down
What's going on in that beautiful mind
I'm on your magical mystery ride
And I'm so dizzy, don't know what hit me, but I'll be alright

[Pre-Chorus:]
My head's under water
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind

[Chorus:]
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh

[Verse 2:]
How many times do I have to tell you
Even when you're crying you're beautiful too
The world is beating you down, I'm around through every mood
You're my downfall, you're my muse
My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues
I can't stop singing, it's ringing, in my head for you

[Pre-Chorus:]
My head's under water
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind

[Chorus:]
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh

[Bridge:]
Give me all of you
Cards on the table, we're both showing hearts
Risking it all, though it's hard

[Chorus:]
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you

I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh

Diamonds by Laura Mvula

Sometimes the grass is greener on the other side.
Maybe the sky's clearer in another place.

But you got diamonds under your feet.
And you got diamonds in your heart.

Waiting for a day of change to come.
And you’re beautiful, dancing in a gloomy storm.

And you got diamonds under your feet.
And you got diamonds in your heart.

And you, you got diamonds in your heart.

"Back At One"

It's undeniable... that we should be together...
It's unbelievable how I used to say that I'd fall never
The basis is need to know, if you don't know just how I feel,
Then let me show you now that I'm for real...
If all things in time, time will reveal...
Yeah...

One... you're like a dream come true...
Two... just wanna be with you...
Three... girl it's plain to see... that your the only one for me...
Four... repeat steps one through three...
Five... make you fall in love with me...
If ever I believe my work is done... then I start Back at One (yeah)

So Incredible... the way things work themselves out...
And all emotional, once you know what it's all about babe...
And undesirable... for us to be apart...
Never would of made it very far...
Cause you know that you've got the keys to my heart
Cause...

One... you're like a dream come true
Two... just wanna be with you
Three... girl it's plain to see... that your the only one for me
Four.. .repeat steps one through three
Five... make you fall in love with me
If ever I believe my work is done... then I start Back at One......

Say farewell to the dark of night... I see the coming of the sun...
I feel like a little child... whose life has just begun...
You came and breathed new life
Into this lonely heart of mine...
You threw out the life line... just in the Nick of Time.....

One... you're like a dream come true
Two... just wanna be with you
Three... girl it's plain to see... that your the only one for me... girl and...
Four... repeat steps one through three
Five... make you fall in love with me
If ever I believe my work is done... then I start Back at One.

"When We Were Beautiful" (It was written by Bon Jovi, Jon / Falcon, Billy / Sambora, Richard.)

The world is cracked, the sky is torn
I'm hanging in, you're holding on

I can't pretend that nothing's changed
Living in the shadows of the love we made

Back when we were beautiful
Before the world got small, before we knew it all
Back when we were innocent
I wonder where it went, let's go back and find it

Sha la la, sha la la, hey, sha la la
Sha la la, sha la la, hey, sha la la

Some dreams live, some will die
But the you and me is still alive
Now, am I blessed or am I cursed?
'Cause the way we are ain't the way we were

Back when we were beautiful
Before the world got small, before we knew it all
Back when we were innocent
I wonder where it went, let's go back and find it

The world is cracked, the sky is torn
So much less meant so much more

Back when we were beautiful
Before the world got small, before we knew it all
Back when we were innocent
I wonder where it went, let's go back and find it

Back when we were beautiful
Back when we were beautiful
Back when we were beautiful
Back when we were beautiful

Sha la la, sha la la, hey, sha la la
Sha la la, sha la la, hey, sha la la

Sha la la, sha la la, hey, sha la la
Sha la la, sha la la, hey, sha la la

[Knoc-Turn'al]
She's thick, she's bad, so clean, she
fine
She loves, she hates, she laughs, she
cries
She hurts, she lies, she's Bonnie,
I'm Clyde
She's ghetto, she's real, she sings,
she rhymes
She comes, she goes, she lives, she
dies
She sexy and bomb, she blows my
mind
She stays in line, she's smart, she's
funny
She's crafty and cunning, in the
game she's running
Her lips, her back, her waist, her
thighs
Her face, her skin, her hair, her eyes
Her voice, her shape, her hips, her
mind
Her love, her smile, her touch, her
time

Do Me by Bobby Brown

6 May 2014

Man In Black by Johnny Cash, even though as an atheist he loses me for a sec at the third couplet.

Well, you wonder why I always dress in black,
Why you never see bright colors on my back,
And why does my appearance seem to have a somber tone.
Well, there's a reason for the things that I have on.

I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down,
Livin' in the hopeless, hungry side of town,
I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime,
But is there because he's a victim of the times.

I wear the black for those who never read,
Or listened to the words that Jesus said,
About the road to happiness through love and charity,
Why, you'd think He's talking straight to you and me.

Well, we're doin' mighty fine, I do suppose,
In our streak of lightnin' cars and fancy clothes,
But just so we're reminded of the ones who are held back,
Up front there ought 'a be a Man In Black.

I wear it for the sick and lonely old,
For the reckless ones whose bad trip left them cold,
I wear the black in mournin' for the lives that could have been,
Each week we lose a hundred fine young men.

And, I wear it for the thousands who have died,
Believin' that the Lord was on their side,
I wear it for another hundred thousand who have died,
Believin' that we all were on their side.

Well, there's things that never will be right I know,
And things need changin' everywhere you go,
But 'til we start to make a move to make a few things right,
You'll never see me wear a suit of white.

Oh, I'd love to wear a rainbow every day,
And tell the world that everything's OK,
But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back,
'Till things are brighter, I'm the Man In Black.

=== Not ALL LIVES MATTER until BLACK LIVES MATTER ===

I adore many genres of music and lyrics...it's hard to narrow it down.

"The Dance" by Garth Brooks

Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared 'neath the stars above
For a moment all the world was right
How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye

And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd have had to miss the dance

Holding you I held everything
For a moment wasn't I a king
But if I'd only known how the king would fall
Hey who's to say you know I might have changed it all

And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd have had to miss the dance

Yes my life is better left to chance
I could have missed the pain but I'd have had to miss the dance

All She Wants To Do Is Dance

18 May 2014

Spend all your time waiting for that second chance
For the break that will make it OK
There's always some reason to feel not good enough
And it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction or a beautiful release
Memories seep from my veins
Let me be empty and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight

In the arms of the Angel far away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the Angel; may you find some comfort here

So tired of the straight line, and everywhere you turn
There's vultures and thieves at your back
The storm keeps on twisting, you keep on building the lies
That you make up for all that you lack
It don't make no difference, escaping one last time
It's easier to believe
In this sweet madness, oh this glorious sadness
That brings me to my knees

In the arms of the Angel far away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
In the arms of the Angel; may you find some comfort here

You're in the arms of the Angel; may you find some comfort here

If your horny, Let's do it

If your horny, Let's do it

Come and jump on it

My latest story is a racy little piece about what happens when someone cute from work invites you over to watch Netflix and Chill.

Martin Keith - Because Of You Lyrics

If ever you wondered
If you touched my soul
Yes you do
Since I met you I'm not the same
You bring love to everything I do
Just the way you say hello
With one touch I can't let go
Never thought I'd fall in love with you
Because of you my life has changed
Thank you for the love and the joy you bring
Because of you I feel no shame
I'll tell the world just because of you
Sometimes I get lonely
And all I gotta do is think of you
You captured something inside of me
You make all of my dreams come true
It's not enough that you love me for me
You reached inside and touched me internally
I Love You best explains how I feel for you
Because of you my life has changed
Thank you for the love and the joy you bring
Because of you I feel no shame
I'll tell the world just because of you
The magic in your eyes
True love I can't deny
When you hold me
I just lose control
I want you to know
That I'm never letting go
You mean so much to me
I want the world to see
It's because of you
Because of you my life has changed
Thank you for the love and the joy you bring
Because of you I feel no shame
I'll tell the world just because of you
My life has changed
Thank you for the love and the joy you bring
Because of you I feel no shame
I'll tell the world just because of you
Because of you...
