    Let's Unplug (5) - Sheryl Crow - Run, Baby, Run

    Just another piece from Sheryl Crowl. Like her unique voice. "Run, baby, run, baby, run..."
     
     
    "Run, Baby, Run"

    She was born in November 1963
    The day Aldous Huxley died
    And her mama believed
    That every man could be free
    So her mama got high, high, high
    And her daddy marched on Birmingham
    Singing mighty protest songs
    And he pictured all the places
    That he knew that she belonged
    But he failed and taught her young
    The only thing she's need to carry on
    He taught her how to

    Run baby run baby run baby run
    Baby run

    Past the arms of the familiar
    And their talk of better days
    To the comfort of the strangers
    Slipping out before they say
    so long
    Baby loves to run

    She counts out all her money
    In the taxi on the way to meet her plane
    Stares hopeful out the window
    At the workers fighting
    Through the pouring rain
    She's searching through the stations
    For an unfamiliar song
    And she's pictures all the places
    Where she knows she still belongs
    And she smiles the secret smile
    Because she knows exactly how
    To carry on

    So run baby run baby run baby run
    Baby run

    From the old familiar faces and
    Their old familiar ways
    To the comfort of the strangers
    Slipping out before they say
    So long
    Baby loves to run

    Let's Unplug (4) - Sheryl Crow - Strong Enough

    1-Only You Stop You; 2-Struggle to Progress; 3-Be Prepared to War in a Time of Peace. Whalen said so and i agree. Wish you a wonderful summer in Chicago.
     
    Finally, we went to the Point Reyes and saw the famous lighthouse which you would see  in almost every book on lighthouses. It was so foggy there and we were unable to see anything beyond 10 meters range. The place recorded the strongest wind in California, but fortunately it was quite peaceful yesterday. We have planned to go hiking a bit somewhere but gave up finally for the dam fog.
     
    We decided to take a different way back home - Freeway No.1. It's indeed beautiful, but it is so curly for the part we drove. For most of time, you wouldn't expect to go beyond 30 miles per hour and sometimes cliffs are right besides the road.
     
    I have thought to take this freeway all the way to the south california, but maybe i have to change my plan. For one thing, it's slow; for another, you get tired soon driving with that road conditions. The good thing is highway 101 is not far away so that whenever i want to take a break and catch some pace i can switch to it in no time, and when i want to see the beautiful seashore views i can switch back.
     
    Not yet detailed the travel plan and rentals. But just got the sleeping bag and tent last week. I dont think i can afford hotels everynight by myself. So i will camp everywhere possible. And there seem quite some camping sites on the way.
     
    Although you are not with me, but actually, you always were and would be, in my heart and mind. I will try to save every piece of it to review with you, in near and/or far future.
     
     
     
    Sheryl Crow - Strong Enough
     
     
    God, I feel like hell tonight
    Tears of rage I cannot fight
    I’d be the last to help you understand
    Are you strong enough to be my man?

    Nothing’s true and nothing’s right
    So let me be alone tonight
    Cause you can’t change the way I am
    Are you strong enough to be my man?

    Lie to me
    I promise I’ll believe
    Lie to me
    But please don’t leave

    I have a face I cannot show
    I make the rules up as I go
    It’s try and love me if you can
    Are you strong enough to be my man?

    When I’ve shown you that I just don’t care
    When I’m throwing punches in the air
    When I’m broken down and I can’t stand
    Will you be strong enough to be my man?

    Lie to me
    I promise I’ll believe
    Lie to me
    But please don’t leave

    Let's Unplug (3) - Crowded House - Four Seasons In One Day

    Four seasons in one day
    Lying in the depths of your imagination
    Worlds above and worlds below
    The sun shines on the black clouds hanging over the domain

    Even when youre feeling warm
    The temperature could drop away
    Like four seasons in one day

    Smiling as the shit comes down
    You can tell a man from what he has to say
    Everything gets turned around
    And I will risk my neck again, again

    You can take me where you will
    Up the creek and through the mill
    All the things you cant explain
    Four seasons in one day

    Blood dries up
    Like rain, like rain
    Fills my cup
    Like four seasons in one day

    It doesnt pay to make predictions
    Sleeping on an unmade bed
    Finding out wherever there is comfort there is pain
    Only one step away
    Like four seasons in one day

    Blood dries up
    Like rain, like rain
    Fills my cup
    Like four seasons in one day

    Let's Unplug (2) - Sting - Every Breath You Take

    "Every Breath You Take"

    Every breath you take
    Every move you make
    Every bond you break
    Every step you take
    I'll be watching you

    Every single day
    Every word you say
    Every game you play
    Every night you stay
    I'll be watching you

    O can't you see
    You belong to me
    How my poor heart aches with every step you take

    Every move you make
    Every vow you break
    Every smile you fake
    Every claim you stake
    I'll be watching you

    Since you've gone I been lost without a trace
    I dream at night I can only see your face
    I look around but it's you I can't replace
    I feel so cold and I long for your embrace
    I keep crying baby, baby please

    Every move you make
    Every vow you break
    Every smile you fake
    Every claim you stake
    I'll be watching you

    Just got a wonderful collection of Live & Unplugged pieces. Quickly went through and found most master pieces. Will share some here. Stay tuned if you also like "live and unplugged"..
     
     
    Stay away from my window
    Stay away from my back door too
    Disconnect the telephone line
    Relax baby and draw that blind

    Kick off your shoes and sit right down
    Loosen off that pretty French gown
    Let me pour you a good long drink
    Ooh baby don't you hesitate cause

    Tonights the night
    It's gonna be alright
    Cause I love you girl
    Ain't nobody gonna stop us now

    C'mon angel my hearts on fire
    Don't deny your man's desire
    You'd be a fool to stop this tide
    Spread your wings and let me come inside

    Tonights the night
    It's gonna be alright
    Cause I love you girl
    Ain't nobody gonna stop us now

    Don't say a word my virgin child
    Just let your inhibitions run wild
    The secret is about to unfold
    Upstairs before the night's too old

    Tonights the night
    It's gonna be alright
    Cause I love you woman
    Ain't nobody gonna stop us now

    Love to be loved by you

    Marc Terenzi - Love To Be Loved By You


    I can’t believe I’m standing here
    Been waiting for so many years and
    Today I found the Queen to reign my heart
    You changed my live so patiently
    And turned it into something good and real
    I feel just like I felt in all my dreams
    There are questions hard to answer
    Can’t you see…

    Chorus:
    Baby, tell me how can I tell you
    That I love you more than life
    Show me how can I show you
    That I’m blinded by your light
    When you touch me I can touch you
    To find out the dream is true
    I love to be loved by you

    You're looking kind of scared right now
    You're waiting for the wedding vows
    But I don’t know if my tongue’s able to talk
    Your beauty is just blinding me
    Like sunbeams on a summer stream and
    I gotta close my eyes to protect me
    Can you take my hand and lead me
    From here please yeah...yeah...

    Chorus:
    Baby, tell me how can I tell you
    That I love you more than life
    Show me how can I show you
    That I’m blinded by your light
    When you touch me I can touch you
    To find out the dream is true
    I love to be loved, I need to be loved
    I love to be loved by you

    I know they gonna say our love's not strong enough to last forever
    And I know they gonna say that we’ll give up because of heavy weather
    But how can they understand that our love is just heaven sent
    We keep on going on and on cause this is where we both belong…

    Chorus:
    Baby, tell me how can I tell you
    That I love you more than life
    Show me how can I show you
    That I’m blinded by your light
    When you touch me I can touch you
    To find out the dream is true
    I love to be loved, I need yes I need to be loved
    I love to be loved by you

    Yes I love to be loved by you

    Club 8 - Boyfriends Stay

    Somebody's complaing that i keep the last song for too long. It's not that long actually. Anyway, here's a  piece from Club 8.
     
    You say you win
    But i think you've lost this time
    You lost your mind
    Somewhere along the way

    You know i write
    I write some stories from time to time
    It's nothing that you couldn't see through

    Girlfriends go
    And boyfriends stay
    So get yourself together

    So will we learn
    And do it right next time
    We'll give it up
    When we can't work it out

    Girlfriends go
    And boyfriends stay
    So get yourself together

    Sometimes i believe
    You're going to save my soul
    Something is for real
    Something is for real
    Yes, so i'm told

    Girlfriends go
    And boyfriends stay
    So get yourself together
