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. Iā€™ve never heard it before nor even heard of the artist. A sign perhaps? I choose to believe soā€¦:heart:

Itā€™s now almost a year since Karen died.
I heard this song this afternoon and I realised that I now hope that I wonā€™t always be sitting alone with thoughts of yesterday. Itā€™s not what I want and Iā€™m sure it isnā€™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 youā€™ve locked away
When tomorrow comes youā€™ll wish
You had today

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

If youā€™re still there when itā€™s all over
Iā€™m scared Iā€™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
Itā€™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 couldnā€™t say
I donā€™t want to

Itā€™s so clear that all we have now
Are thoughts of yesterday

My feet are aching
And your back is pretty tired
And weā€™ve drunk a couple bottles, babe
And set our grief aside
The Papers say itā€™s doomsday
The button has been pressed
Weā€™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 itā€™s you that I lie with
As the atom bomb locks in
Oh itā€™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 weā€™re going out in style babe
And everythingā€™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 itā€™s you that I lie with
As the atom bomb locks in
Oh itā€™s you I watch TV with
As the world, as the world cavesā€¦
Oh itā€™s you that I lie with
As the atom bomb locks in

Yes itā€™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 havenā€™t been that way for years.
Will I fall down on my knees?
And will the air kiss me like home?
Iā€™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 donā€™t know what itā€™s like to be you, darling.
You donā€™t know what itā€™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.
Weā€™re all looking for a way to find the things we lose.
You donā€™t know what itā€™s like to be me, darling.
And I donā€™t know what itā€™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.
Donā€™t we all need someone to hold onto?
(Oh and) Donā€™t we all need something to believe?
I donā€™t know what itā€™s like to be you, darling.
You donā€™t know what itā€™s like to be me.

I donā€™t know what itā€™s like to be you, my darling.
And you donā€™t know what itā€™s like to be me.

Thatā€™s the one Kate, thank you.
Donā€™t know why i canā€™t link myself, probably cos Iā€™m daft.
Iā€™ll try another.

See if that works.
