Songs...

Omg I love this but cracks me up :broken_heart: :broken_heart:

I meant to say, I came across this song when my son was setting me up a playlist on his Spotify. As I was selecting songs some recommendations popped up and this was at the top. I’ve never heard it before nor even heard of the artist. A sign perhaps? I choose to believe so…:heart:

It’s now almost a year since Karen died.
I heard this song this afternoon and I realised that I now hope that I won’t always be sitting alone with thoughts of yesterday. It’s not what I want and I’m sure it isn’t what Karen would have wanted for me either.
Incidently, this is a cover version, for those looking for the original, look for Strawberry Switchbade

Karine Polwart Since Yesterday

Just close your eyes and then remember
The thoughts you’ve locked away
When tomorrow comes you’ll wish
You had today

And as we sit here alone
Looking for a reason to go on
It’s so clear that all we have now
Are our thoughts of yesterday

If you’re still there when it’s all over
I’m scared I’ll have to say
That a part of you has gone
Since yesterday

And as we sit here alone
Looking for a reason to go on
It’s so clear that all we have now
Are our thoughts of yesterday

Well, maybe this could be the ending
With nothing left of you
A hundred wishes couldn’t say
I don’t want to

It’s so clear that all we have now
Are thoughts of yesterday

My feet are aching
And your back is pretty tired
And we’ve drunk a couple bottles, babe
And set our grief aside
The Papers say it’s doomsday
The button has been pressed
We’re gonna nuke each other up boys
'Til old Satan stands impressed

And here it is, our final night alive
And as the earth burns to the ground
Oh girl it’s you that I lie with
As the atom bomb locks in
Oh it’s you I watch TV with
As the world, as the world caves in

You put your finest suit on
I paint my fingernails
Oh we’re going out in style babe
And everything’s on sale
We creep up on extinction
I pull your arms right in
I weep and say goodnight love
While my organs pack it in

And here it is, our final night alive
And as the earth burns to the ground
Oh girl it’s you that I lie with
As the atom bomb locks in
Oh it’s you I watch TV with
As the world, as the world caves…
Oh it’s you that I lie with
As the atom bomb locks in

Yes it’s you I welcome death with
As the world, as the world caves in

As the world caves in

Simone Felice To be you, to be me

As I wait in silence for the sound of an oncoming train,
I haven’t been that way for years.
Will I fall down on my knees?
And will the air kiss me like home?
I’ve forgotten how that feels.

No one ever plans to grow up and be a junkie.
No one ever plans to grow up and be a thief.
I don’t know what it’s like to be you, darling.
You don’t know what it’s like to be me.

All the years have fallen by now
Would you recognize me if I stood in rags before you?
Only chaff against the wind, shaking here & his mind fills with lace.
And every day is new.

No one ever plans to turn their life down a dark street.
We’re all looking for a way to find the things we lose.
You don’t know what it’s like to be me, darling.
And I don’t know what it’s like to be you.

No one ever plans to grow up and be a junkie.
No one ever plans to grow up and be a thief.
Don’t we all need someone to hold onto?
(Oh and) Don’t we all need something to believe?
I don’t know what it’s like to be you, darling.
You don’t know what it’s like to be me.

I don’t know what it’s like to be you, my darling.
And you don’t know what it’s like to be me.

That’s the one Kate, thank you.
Don’t know why i can’t link myself, probably cos I’m daft.
I’ll try another.

See if that works.
