Does anyone remember this song from the early '90s? I remembered the song but not the artist- not even vaguely. Its a good piece- kinda reminds me of The Cranberries or 10,000 Maniacs. Anyway I like the lyrics as she illustrates how growth and beauty comes out of pain and suffering.
...I know all this and more...

46/365 The Who- Getting in Tune
I heard a version of this song last week on XRT where Pete Townsend invited Eddie Vedder to sing. I cant find it on YouTube-you will just have to imagine. For whatever reason this song moved me. When words and music come together its like the perfect combination of logic and emotion- it just works-it strikes a chord.
I get a little tired of having to say do you come here often
But when I look in your eyes I see the harmonies and the heartachs soften
I get a little tired of having to say do you come here often
But when I look in your eyes I see the harmonies and the heartachs soften

45/365 Eddie Vedder- Society
Featured in the movie Into the Wild, this song strikes some truth chords. Is there no end the the wants we have that are twisted around and thought of as needs? How much do we really need? And if we get everything we "need" will we be happy- or will we just create more "needs" so that we just don't really have to look at the truth of the matter. Is life about collecting treasures?

44/365 Nickleback- If Everyone Cared
Working with an organizatin called Solid Rock Carpenters, my friend Jan spent the day building frames for houses that are being shipped to Louisiana. This song was featured in the video that highlighted the days events. When people come together for a purpose, it reveals God at work. If everyone shares and swallows their pride....

43/365 Neil Young- Cowgirl in the Sand
Neil Young and CrazyHorse was another one of those albums listened to on the basement stereo in the late '70's. This guitar solo is like a drug-it brings me to another place-one that can not be measured by time and space.

42/365 Cat Stevens-Miles from Nowhere
This is my Favorite of many Cat Stevens songs. I always smile when he goes into the rocking pounding on the piano part. Lord, my body has been a good friend, but I wont need it when I reach the end. This video also feature Father and son- timeless message true about the pains of letting go of your family and moving toward your own thing.

41/365 Sheryl Crow- First Cut is the Deepest
Written by Cat Stevens, peperformed by Rod Stewert, this version by Sheryl Crow is awesome. We can all relate to this song as the fear of being hurt again holds us back from experiencing a new relationship.
