Somewhere Out There
written by James Horner, Barry Mann, Cynthia Weil
Somewhere out there beneath the pale moonlight
Someone's thinking of me and loving me tonight
Somewhere out there someone's saying a prayer
That we'll find one another in that big somewhere out there
And even though I know how very far apart we are
It helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star
And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby
It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky
Somewhere out there if love can see us through
Then we'll be together somewhere out there
Out where dreams come true
And even though I know how very far apart we are
It helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star
And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby
It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky
Somewhere out there if love can see us through
Then we'll be together somewhere out there
Out where dreams come true

I heard this song today, and it perfectly captures what I was feeling last fall. There are so many songs I've heard that I loved (and don't own). Since they don't play on the radio anymore I am going to start posting them if and when they burst in on me.I have a horrible memory for names of artists and song titles.I've got a new diary! My faith has been sufficiently restored. May all my whining move there, and more reflective posts be the results. Amen.Eve Labels: random stuff, songs

A Man and a Woman
Little sister
Don't you worry about a thing today
Take the heat from the sun
And little sister
I know that everything is not ok
But you're like honey on my tongue
True love never can be rent
But only true love can keep beauty innocent
But I could never take a chance
Of losing love to find romance
In the mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman
No I could never take a chance
'Cause I could never understand
The mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman
You can run from love
And if it's really love it will find you
Catch you by the heel
But you can't be numb for love
The only pain is to feel nothing at all
How can I hurt when I'm holding you?
And I could never take a chance
Of losing love to find romance
In the mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman
And you're the one, there's no-one else
And it makes me want to lose myself
In the mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman
Brown eyed girl across the street
On rue Saint Divine
I thought this is the one for me
But she was already mine
You were already mine
Little sister
I've been sleeping in the street again
Like a stray dog
And little sister
I've been trying to feel complete again
But you're gone and so is God
The soul needs beauty for a soul mate
When the soul wants, the soul waits
But I could never take a chance
Of losing love to find romance
In the mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman
For love and faith and sex and fear
And all the things that keep us here
In the mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman
You'll see
You'll see
How can I hurt when I'm holding you?

I guess it just takes patience and faith and truth. Someday, I will be found.
Since I seem too blind to find...
LOL or just too myopic. :)

moldy peaches - anyone else but you
by
Cyrus_and_Jeff on 10-07-2006 @ 03:04:20 AM
i assume that everyone thinks the same thing about this song the first time they hear it that i heard the first time i heard it.
the first time i heard anyone else but you i chose the obvious interpretation. i saw it as a hit love song about hating everyone you know except for the person you truly love.
...then i listened to it more...
after several listens i realized that this song IS NOT about hating EVERYONE BUT your love. this song IS about hating EVERONE INCLUDING your love.
when i started listening to each and every lyric and trying to interpret every sentiment i realized that. the horrible and sarcastic resenments outweigh the cheesy and sappy but love remarks. i think its natural to see the good in this song and how it completely defeats every that could be consider bad in the world. but when you really listen to this song, you realize that its not about that sappy and idolized love that we all only we wish we could achieve. it's about real things.
either way, the lyrics are relatable. no one can honestly say that they havent been completely mad and bitter towards all the world but one wonderful person who seemed to shine in glowing and perfect light. but this song doesnt just do that. it delves into a world most love songs dont touch. it delves into the depths of the realistic.
beyond uber fantasies, even the ones that come true, lies the uber reality. everyone knows not even their true love, but their real love. the one that you have the chemistry with and the feelings for, despite their flaws. everyone knows that person that's not their ideal prince/princess charm, but is the person that they love and care about to the end, despite what they may deny. this song is about the person that you hate for their tendencies, but love for themselves.
this a song for the one you will end up eventually and for good reason, whether you know it or like it or want it or not.
sorry for the long and confusing comment. im pretty drunk/drugged out. hopefully you can obtain something from this.
------------
Since this song got stuck in my head, I've been trying to figure out what it means. Now, there are 3 interpretations.
1) sweet geeky love song
2) about real love - see above
3) you hate the person. Seriously. There are just so many bad things, every single para has got sth that could be interpreted as bad. :( This one i liked least but I'm trying to be more realistic. I think they'd end up bad - he'd end up leaving her because he couldn't take the thought of living with her flaws forever and to him, the sex and the fun wouldn't be enough? ("I'm in love with how you feel" & "We sure are cute for two ugly people")
Sigh.
The only reason I elaborated so much on number 3 was i didn't really see anyone else interpreting it that way.
:( I don't like reality very much. But, I need to? Aww poo...
Eve.
