Collide...

[LizzyB]

Hey Gabs...Alli Pm'd yesterday, to say that we've sucked her in to the "John Club". Yay! Another member for the cult...ouppps...I mean club and Alli? Gabe, always looking to expand my musical horizons...sent me this one...that just begs to be posted..."Collied" by Howie Day. We're stepping outside the John box here ladies...

Also, while I'm at it Gabe, what do you get when you put Santana with Chad Kroeger (Nickleback)? The song I can't stop playing...over and over "Why Don't You and I"...now, if only I had someone to dedicate it to...hmmmmm...Much love to all...


Artist: Howie Day
Album: Stop All The World Now
Title: Collide

The dawn is breaking
A light shining through
You're barely waking
And I'm tangled up in you
Yeah

I'm open, you're closed
Where I follow, you'll go
I worry I won't see your face
Light up again

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills my mind
I somehow find
You and I collide

I'm quiet you know
You make a frist impression
I've found I'm scared to know I'm always on your mind
Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the stars refuse to shine
Out of the back you fall in time
I somehow find
You and I collide

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to ryhme
Out of the doubt that fills your mind
You finally find
You and I collide

You finally find
You and I collide
You finally find
You and I collide...



Why Don't You and I...
Santana with Chad Kroeger

Since the moment I spotted you
Like walking round with little wings on my shoes
My stomach's filled with butterflies
Ooh and it's alright

Bouncing around from cloud to cloud
Got the feeling like I'm never gonna come down
If I said I didn't like it then you'd know I'd lied ooooh
And everytime I try to talk to you
I get tounge tied turns out
Everything I say to you
Comes out wrong and never comes out right


So I'm singing
Why Don't You and I get together
We'll take on the world and be together forever
Heads we will, tails we'll try again
And I'm singing
Why Don't You and I get together
And fly to the moon and straight on to Heaven
'Cause without you they're never gonna let me in


When's this fever gonna break
I think I've handled more than any man can take
I'm like a love sick puppy chasing you around
Oooh and it's alright
Bouncing around from cloud to cloud
I got the feeling like I'm never gonna down
And if I said I didn't like it then you'd know I'd lied
Oooh


And everytime I'd try to talk to you I'd get tounge tied turns out
Everything I say to you comes out wrong and never comes out right


So I'm singing
Why Don't you and I get together
Let's take on the world and be together forever Heads we will and tails we'll try again
So I'm singing
Why Don't You and I get together
We'll fly to the moon and straight on to Heaven
'Cause without you they're never gonna let me in


Slowly I begin to realise that this is never gonna end and the moment you walk by it's like oh here we go again oh


So I'm singing
Why Don't you and I get together
We'll take on the world and be together forever
Heads we will and tails we'll try again
And I'm singing
Why Don't You and I get together
And fly to the moon and straight on to Heaven
'Cause without you they're never gonna let me in...

Lizzy Babe,
I have Howie playing in my office as I type this.
And Chad Kroeger, well...he is also on my freebie list.

Hero
Chad Kroeger and Josey Scott

I am so high. I can hear heaven.
I am so high. I can hear heaven.
But heaven, no heaven,
don't hear me.

And they say that a hero can save us.
I'm not gonna stand here and wait.
I'll hold onto the wings of the eagles.
Watch as they all fly away.

Someone told me love will all save us.
But how can that be, look what love gave us.
A world full of killing, and blood-spilling
That world never came.

And they say that a hero can save us.
Im not gonna stand here and wait.
I'll hold onto the wings of the eagles.
Watch as they all fly away.

Now that the world isnt ending,
its love that I'm sending to you.
It isn't the love of a hero,
and that's why I fear it won't do.

And they say that a hero can save us.
Im not gonna stand here and wait.
I'll hold onto the wings of the eagles.
Watch as they all fly away.

And they're watching us.
(Watching us)
They're watching us.
(Watching us)
As they all fly away.

[LizzyB]

I love that one Gabs...I found the Jonny Lang song we were talking about...it's downloading as I type! I think I'll need the tissues for that one...never enough tissue in my house these days...allergy season...among other things ...Right now I'm listening to "Smoke Baby" by Hawksley Workman...They're a Canadian band and they're amazing...the lyrics to this one are depressing...but it's soooo gooood...the beat is extremely catchy..here's the chorus...just to give you an idea of what I mean about depressing...

Smoke baby, smoke baby
More alcohol baby
Cocaine in Montreal
And back out on a plane baby
An early flight will leave
And on it will be me
I'll be half asleep
And you'll get up at three...

[boryad]

OMG!!! Howie Day Rocks!!!! My A turned me on to him just over a year ago and I can't get enough of the kid! I'm so thrilled to actually "find" someone other than my A who's heard of him! "Ghost" is the song that I first heard....very poignant to my A...and me.

[Gabe]

SWC,
I am a rabid "Joan of Acadia" fan.
"Collide" was used in the score of one of the episodes, that's where I first heard Howie.
I just got "Stop All The World Now" today, and I love it.
Peace,
Gabe

[boryad]

I've read so much about "Joan of Arcadia" here but have yet to see an episode. I did hear a Howie Day tune on some other t.v. program (not sure which one it is now) and I was so excited he was getting some airtime. I've yet to hear any of his music on any radio station except for online alternative stations.

Hopefully, the word will spread!

[LizzyB]

SWC...We're workin' on it! ...

[Gabe]

Lizzy Babe,
Howie is making me break a sweat here. I'm only posting the first half of this song, it's long.

I’ll Take You On
~Howie Day

Make me fall down
Make me get up
And if I’m alright
Make sure I’m scared to death
Maybe I’m useless
If I could just remember
Make me feel nervous and
I’ll make you surrender
I’ll take you on
Yeah, I’ll take you on

I’ll give it all away
But you don’t
But you don’t
I’ll give it all away
But you don’t feel much better

You said it yourself
You said I’m not ready
I’m telling myself
But it’s not sinking in
Maybe I’m new at this
Or is it just your reaction
Be my illusion and
I’ll be your distraction
I’ll take you on
I’ll take you on


"Make me feel nervous and I'll make you surrender"..."Be my illusion and I'll be your distraction."
*SIGH* Gabe needs to go turn the air conditioner on.

[boryad]

In my best Homer Simpson voice...


"Mmmmmm....Howieeeee...."

[LizzyB]

Ouhhhh yes...Mmmmmmmmmmmm... sorry...I'm just having way to much fun with these little smiley guys...it's not me...it's my inner child (right Gabs?) Come to think of it...I could be lookin' at a really great scape goat..."wasn't me!...I didn't do it!" ...Smooches...

[alli61098]

Who’s the big loser? Alli’s the big loser!!! I finally get around to checking into Howie Day, BTW he’s a yummy young man, and I link onto a fan club website only to see that he was playing about 20 minutes from me at one of my favorite clubs on Wednesday night. I had my hair done on Wednesday afternoon, I would have looked so pretty too!!

[alli61098]

Anybody into Jason Mraz? I've heard a little and really like what I've heard so far.

[pumuckl]

Can't we talk about someone else?

How about Anna Kournikova?

[boryad]

Anna doesnt' sing....

Sorry Pum, looks like you're outnumbered.

:LMAO

[alli61098]

You took the words right out of my mouth, SWC!

Who is an attractive female singer/songwriter for PUM?

[pumuckl]

OK, I like girls for their talent, not just their looks. I like Sheryl Crowe, Alanis Morrissette, Amy Grant, Fiona Apple and my latest favorite ... Norah Jones.

[boryad]

I'll concur w/Norah Jones. REALLY like Melissa Etheridge too (NOT in "her way" though). Awesome songwriting.

However, since Howie is too young for me, I'll take Rob Thomas (Matchboxtwenty) ANYDAY!!!

[Gabe]

Ha, ha, y'all. I've had Howie in my office with me all day.
Gabe

[boryad]

Gabe!

I meant to bring my entire CD case up into the office w/me today and noooooo, brain-dead me left it in my car and I'm too lazy to go downstairs and get it.

I have 3 Howie CDs...his 1st which is Australia, another (don't remember what it's called) that has only 6 songs on it but also has DVD and of course, his most recent. I'll admit I haven't listened to the last 2 too much (bought a bunch of different CDs at once so have only gotten through them a couple of times)...but now I'm in such a Howie mood!!!

I have a tremendously busy weekend....methinks come Sunday, Mother's Day, when all is peaceful, Howie is the plan of the day (after the Dodger game on t.v. of course!) while I perhaps read, work on self, etc. It's MY day!

[Gabe]

SWC,
Mother's Day with Howie. That sounds divine.
Enjoy your day!
Gabe

[boryad]

Yuppers, me and Howie. I imagine the older daughter will hang w/the b/f and his family...no reason for me to make her stay home.

The little one will probably hang around home, I don't want to let her interfere w/another friend's family and their festivities. Perhaps she can play w/the neighbor kid and give me a little peace?

[LizzyB]

SWC...yup, mother's day with Howie would be heaven...I think in my house though, it would be hard to hear him over,"Mom...Mom...Mom...Mom...Mom..." Well, you get my drift ...I think for mother's day this year, I'm gonna run away from home. Quacker Jack my sweet dammit doll, and I are planning the "Great Escape"...we'd steal away quietly in the night...only my face would be on a milk carton by morning...

Hey Alli? About the Howie thing? :slap: smarten up! Sorry...I just love that smiley...I'm gonna be slapin' everyone all over the place now!

Pooooor Pum...have we left you out of the loop with all our naughty girl talk? We're sorry...really. ...Norah Jones though, I can appreciate. I love her voice...she's no Ella...but man can she carry a song...My fav is "Come Away With Me"...know it? Much love...

Norah Jones - Come Away With Me


Come away with me in the night
Come away with me
And I will write you a song

Come away with me on a bus
Come away where they can't tempt us
With their lies

I want to walk with you
On a cloudy day
In fields where the yellow grass grows knee-high
So won't you try to come

Come away with me and we'll kiss
On a mountaintop
Come away with me
And I'll never stop loving you

And I want to wake up with the rain
Falling on a tin roof
While I'm safe there in your arms
So all I ask is for you
To come away with me in the night
Come away with me

[boryad]

I really think I'll only have the 10 year old at home on Sunday unless, like I said, she plays w/the next door neighbor (they don't tend to do much of anything on "holidays"). I'm not gonna let her nag the other playmates' families. She's one of those "Mom! Mom! Mom!" types as well...and, the 'puter at home is "down" so I can't even let her entertain herself w/Nick Jr. or Disney.com for a couple hours.

Fortunately, she plays well w/her dolls so if all else fails...then again, she loves Monopoly and I have my Dodger Monopoly game...I can do that!

Dinner will be leftovers, maybe something simple like popcorn, or eggs and tater tots. I busted my hiney cooking for my mom and grandma last year...NOT lifting a finger this year...my day to be a BUM!!! :laugh2:

[Gabe]

Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom...
Yeah, I get that drift.
Lizzy Babe, does he hijack your music?
So far, mine has hijacked everything of mine except Springsteen, Five For Fighting and the new two (Howie and Jonny). But I know he has his eye on the Five For Fighting CD.
However, I growl at him when he tries to put it in his CD case, so...so far it's still mine.
Gabe

[LizzyB]

Yeah Gabs...he's starting to appreciate my music more...it's kinda weird. Yesterday "Go Your Own Way" by Fleetwood Mac came on in the car...and he said ouhhh...turn it up, I love this song. I was like Ahhhhh...he does have good taste like his momma. He thought it was a new song. I had to explain to him that I'd been shoving Fleetwood Mac down his throat, since he was a baby...as my mom did before me. Another generation grabs the "Mac"...almost makes me teary ...
