SENDING YOU LIGHT by Melanie DeMore performed with Julie Wolf

Hartverwarmende muziek.

I am sending you Light, To heal you, To hold you
I am sending you Light, To hold you in Love
I am sending you Light, To heal you, To hold you
I am sending you Light, To hold you in Love

No matter where you go
No matter where you’ve been
You’ll never walk alone
I feel you deep within

So I am sending you Light, To heal you, To hold you
I am sending you Light, To hold you in Love
I am sending you Light, To heal you, To hold you
I am sending you Light, To hold you in Love

No matter what you feel or what you choose to show
I’m always there for you
And so I want you to know
That I am sending you Light, To heal you, To hold you

I am sending you Light, To hold you in Love
I am sending you Light, To heal you, To hold you
I am sending you Light, To hold you in Love

I walk the path with you
Go slow dear one don’t hurry
I’ll go just like you need to go
There is no need to worry
Cause I am sending you Light, To heal you, To hold you

I am sending you Light, To hold you in Love
I am sending you Light, To heal you, To hold you
I am sending you Light, To hold you in Love
I am sending you Light, To heal you, to hold you
I am sending you Light, to hold you in Love

Joan Baez & Paul Simon - The Boxer - Live 2016 NYC at 75th - Birthda...

Jeugdsentiment....

The Boxer

Simon & Garfunkel

I am just a poor boy
Though my story's seldom told
I have squandered my resistance
For a pocketful of mumbles
Such are promises
All lies and jest
Still, a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest

When I left my home and my family
I was no more than a boy
In the company of strangers
In the quiet of the railway station
Running scared
Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters
Where the ragged people go
Looking for the places only they would know

Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie
Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie, la la lie la lie

Asking only workman's wages
I come looking for a job
But I get no offers
Just a come-on from the whores on Seventh Avenue
I do declare, there were times when I was so lonesome
I took some comfort there
La-la-la-la-la-la-la

Now the years are rolling by me
They are rocking evenly
And I am older than I once was
And younger than I'll be
But that's not unusual

No, it isn't strange
After changes upon changes
We are more or less the same
After changes we are
More or less the same

Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie
Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie, la la lie la lie

Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie
Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie, la la lie la lie

Then I'm laying out my winter clothes
Wishing I was gone
Going home
Where the New York City winters aren't bleeding me
Leading me
To going home

In the clearing stands a boxer
And a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
Of every glove that laid him down
And cut him till he cried out
In his anger and his shame
"I am leaving, I am leaving"
But the fighter still remains, he's still remains

Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie
Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie, la la lie la lie

Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie
Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie, la la lie la lie

Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie
Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie, la la lie la lie

Thank you, good night
Thank you , thanks

Blanco White - All that Matters (Official Video)

All That Matters

Blanco White

Held at the start, I'm far away

Tracing the lines never seen

I don't know how long the clouds were above you

Waiting for day to come 'round again

Far beneath was a mind wide open

The sun was caught, but held by a thread

Chasing the sound, I was late to the demo

Five thousand all calling out

And so I stole what mattered

And carried you away from the crowd

Leave doubt behind, you've more to say

There's light only you can see

I know that sometimes it's the hurt that saves us

Waiting so long to be laid to rest

But brightness survives in suns collided

And all we've lost returns in the end

God shut his eyes away, but life went on living

In all that is left for us now

Don't stop believing it matters

Some things won't ever be found

Ages aligned and fell into rhythm

Our paths had to cross here somehow

I'm lost in all that matters

You remain, calling on out

Kirsty McGee // Sandman (Official)

Right before you close your eyes
Whispering yours prayers
When the sandman blows your eyes
I'll be there
When you wake up in the night
Sounds the second stair
That creaks under the careless foot
I'll be there
Gather roses while you may
While the bloom is full
For the blossoms soon will fade
And the bloom grow dull
Right before the morning light
Creeps soft upon the sill
When the shadows chase the night
I never will
When your voice is softly heard
Singing in the morning air
But the note does not ring true
I'll be there
Gather roses while you may
While the bloom is full
For the blossoms soon will fade
And the bloom grow dull
Right before you sleep at night
Closing up the blinds
In the windows black embrace
If you find…

The face of a lover long-forgot
Forgotten eyes, forgotten hair
Forgotten words that stretch like salt
I'll be there

Katie Melua - Wonderful Life

Tessa Rose Jackson - Hey Brother (Cover)

Hey brother! There's an endless road to rediscover
Hey sister! Know the water's sweet but blood is thicker
Oh, if the sky comes falling down, for you
There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do

Hey brother! Do you still believe in one another?
Hey sister! Do you still believe in love? I wonder
Oh, if the sky comes falling down, for you
There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do

What if I'm far from home?
Oh brother, I will hear you call!
What if I lose it all?
Oh sister, I will help you hang on!
Oh, if the sky comes falling down, for you
There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do

Hey brother! There's an endless road to rediscover
Hey sister!…

Cat Stevens - How Can I Tell You (1970)

How can I tell you 

That I love you, 
I love you 
But I can't think of right words to say 

I long to tell you 
That I'm always thinking of you... 
I'm always thinking of you, 
But my words just blow away, 
Just blow away 

It always ends up to one thing, honey 
And I can't think of right words to say 

Wherever I am girl, 
I'm always walking with you 
I'm always walking with you, 
But I look and you're not there 

Whoever I'm with, 
I'm always, always talking to you 
I'm always talking to you, 
And I'm sad that you can't hear, 
Sad that you can't hear 

It always ends up to one thing, honey, 
When I look and you're not there 

I need to know you, 
Need to feel my arms around you 
Feel my arms around you, 
Like a sea around a shore 

Each night and day I pray, 
In hope that I might find you, 
In hope that I might find you, 
Because heart's can do no more 
Can do no more

It always ends up to one thing, honey, 
Still I kneel upon the floor 

How can I tell you 
That I love you, 
I love you 
But I can't think of right words to say 

I long to tell you 
That I'm always thinking of you 
I'm always thinking of you.... 

It always ends up to one thing, honey 
And I can't think of right words to say

Loreena McKennitt - Dante's Prayer

In herinnering.
Voor haar liefde voor de zee....

When the dark wood fell before me
And all the paths were overgrown
When the priests of pride say there is no other way
I tilled the sorrows of stone

I did not believe because I could not see
Though you came to me in the night
When the dawn seemed forever lost
You showed me your love in the light of the stars

Cast your eyes on the ocean
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seems endless
Please remember me

Then the mountain rose before me
By the deep well of desire
From the fountain of forgiveness
Beyond the ice and fire

Cast your eyes on the ocean
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seems endless
Please remember me

Though we share this humble path, alone
How fragile is the heart
Oh give these clay feet wings to fly
To touch the face of the stars

Breathe life into this feeble heart
Lift this mortal veil of fear
Take these crumbled hopes, etched with tears
We'll rise above these earthly cares

Cast your eyes on the ocean
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seems endless
Please remember me
Please remember me

Ane Brun - Feeling Good

Birds flying high
You know how I feel
Sun in the sky
You know how I feel
Breeze drifting on by
You know how I feel

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life for me

Oh, it's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life for me
Oh, and I'm feeling good

Fish in the sea
You know how I feel
River running free
You know how I feel
Blossom on a tree
You know how I feel

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life for me
Oh, and I'm feeling good

Dragonfly out in the sun
You know what I mean, don't you know
Butterflies all having fun
You know what I mean
Sleep in peace when day is done
That is what I mean
And this old world is a new world
And a bold world for me, oh

Stars when you shine
You know how I feel
Scent of the pine
You know how I feel
Yeah, freedom is mine
And I know how I feel

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life for me
Oh and I'm feeling good
I'm feeling good
I'm feeling good

Ane Brun - Halo (Feat. Linnea Olsson)

Remember those walls I built
Baby they’re tumbling down
They didn’t even put up a fight
They didn’t even make up a sound

I found a way to let you in
But I never really had a doubt
Standing in the light of your halo
I got my angel now

It’s like I’ve been awakened
Every rule I had you breaking
It’s the risk that I’m taking
I ain’t ever gonna shut you out 

Everywhere I’m looking now
I’m surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you’re my saving grace

You’re everything I need and more 
It’s written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won’t fade away

Hit me like a ray of sun
Burning through my darkest night
You’re the only one that I want
Think I’m addicted to your light

I swore I’d never fall again
But this don’t even feel like falling
Gravity can’t forget
To pull me back to the ground again

It’s like I’ve been awakened
Every rule I had you breaking
It’s the risk that I’m taking
I ain’t ever gonna shut you out 

Everywhere I’m looking now
I’m surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo 
You know you’re my saving grace

You’re everything I need and more 
It’s written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won’t fade away

I can feel your halo
I can see your halo
I can feel your halo
I can see your halo

I can feel your halo
I can see your halo
I can feel your halo
I can see your halo

I can feel your halo
I can see your halo
I can feel your halo
I can see your halo
