Kaze to Tori to Sora by Arai Akino from Record of Lodoss War

itsuka mita yume no you ni
suna no kuni wo tabi shita
anata no kata no mukou
chihei wo mitsumete

Like in a dream we once had,
we travelled the sandy country.
From behind your shoulder,
I watch the horizon.

shizuka-sugiru hoshi-tachi no
nagai nagai uta wo kiita
sore wa kiete wa umareru
inochi no utagoe

I heard the long, distant song
of too-quiet stars.
It's the song of life
which fades out then is reborn.

itsumo itsumo
wasurenai you ni
kaze to tori to
sora no kanashimi wo
wasurenai you ni

Always, always
So that we'll never forget
the sadness of the wind and
the birds and the sky
So that we'll never forget

[Instrumental]

ichido dake furikaeru
tabi no owari no asa ni
sono me ni utsuru watashi to
hajimete deau

Looking back only once
on the morning of our journey's end,
I meet my reflection in your eyes
for the first time.

sukitooru ishiki no soko
sotto sotto fureau
yubi to yubi
haruka uchuu no chizu
egakareru shunkan

At the bottom of transparent consciousness,
the moment our fingers entwine,
softly, softly touching,
drawing a map
of the distant universe...

itsumo itsumo
aishiaeru you ni
kaze to tori to
sora no kanashimi wo
wasurenai you ni
tabi wo hajimeru

Always, always
So we can love each other,
so that we'll never forget
the sadness of the wind
and the birds and the sky,
we start our journey.

You Gotta Be

Listen as your day unfolds
Challenge what the future holds
Try and keep your head up to the sky
Lovers, they may cause you tears
Go ahead release your fears
Stand up and be counted
Don't be ashamed to cry
You gotta be
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold
You gotta be wiser, you gotta be hard
You gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm
You gotta stay together
All I know, all I know, love will save the day
Herald what your mother said
Readin' the books your father read
Try to solve the puzzles in your own sweet time
Some may have more cash than you
Others take a different view
My oh my heh, hey
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold
You gotta be wiser, you gotta be hard
You gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm
You gotta stay together
All I know, all I know, love will save the day
Don't ask no questions, it goes on without you
Leaving you behind if you can't stand the pace
The world keeps on spinning
You can't stop it, if you try to
This time it's danger staring you in the face
Oh oh oh Remember
Listen as your day unfolds
Challenge what the future holds
Try and keep your head up to the sky
Lovers, they may cause you tears
Go ahead release your fears
My oh my heh, hey, hey
You gotta be
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold
You gotta be wiser, you gotta be hard
You gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm
You gotta stay together
All I know, all I know, love will save the day
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold
You gotta be wiser, you gotta be hard
You gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm
You gotta stay together
All I know, all I know, love will save the day

This is the most AMAZING Sarah Brightman song EVER!!! If you don't know who Sarah Brightman is, she's basically a European opera version of Tori Amos. lol She's AWESOME!!! So even if you don't know who she is WATCH this and you will be a fan! ;)



"Fleurs Du Mal"

Is it you I keep thinking of?
Should I feel like I do?
I've come to know that I miss your love
While I'm not missing you
We run
Til it's gone
Et les fleurs du mal [And the flowers of evil]
Won't let you be
You hold the key to an open door
Will I ever be free?

Les fleurs du mal unfold [The flowers of evil unfold]
Comme les fleurs du mal [Like the flowers of evil]
Dark demons of my soul
Un amour fatal [A fatal love]
Been tryin' hard to fight
Comme les fleurs du mal [Like the flowers of evil]
Les fleurs du mal inside [The flowers of evil inside]
Un amour fatal [A fatal love]

All my life I've been waiting for
In this perfume of pain
To forget when I needed more
Of love's endless refrain
We live
And we pray
Pour les fleurs du mal [For the flowers of evil]
I've lost my way
What is done will return again
Will I ever be free?

Les fleurs du mal unfold [The flowers of evil unfold]
Comme les fleurs du mal [Like the flowers of evil]
Dark demons of my soul
Un amour fatal [A fatal love]
Been tryin' hard to fight
Comme les fleurs du mal [Like the flowers of evil]
Les fleurs du mal inside [The flowers of evil inside]
Un amour fatal [A fatal love]

Les fleurs du mal [The flowers of evil]
Comme les fleurs du mal [Like the flowers of evil]
Un amour fatal [A fatal love]
Comme les fleurs du mal [Like the flowers of evil]

Les fleurs du mal unfold [The flowers of evil unfold]
Comme les fleurs du mal [Like the flowers of evil]
Dark demons of my soul
Un amour fatal [A fatal love]
Been tryin' hard to fight
Comme les fleurs du mal [Like the flowers of evil]
Les fleurs du mal inside [The flowers of evil inside]
Un amour fatal [A fatal love]

This is a totally AWESOME song! LISTEN!



"Come To Me" by Megan McCauley

I remember when you said life was hard on you,
And, I remember when I watched you come undone again.
And I still feel now, all the damage kept inside.

All the walls that you built up,
And all the bridges you burnt down,
In the end, it comes down to, I'm the one always around.

Come to me. I'll set you free
Come to me. Make me believe you'll,
Come to me, and I will help you crawl,
Won't let you fall, show you how to breathe.
So come to me.

I believe in how the past can never be undone.
And I believe that now, if I hold you, you can see the sun.
And I believe it now, in the future you'll let me inside.

All it takes is time to see.
All you need is room to breathe.
I can feel it through my mind,
Now all you need is me.

Come to me. I'll set you free
Come to me. Make me believe you'll,
Come to me, and I will help you crawl,
Won't let you fall, show you how to breathe.
So come to me.

Come to me...
Come to me...

Come to me. I'll set you free
Come to me. Make me believe you'll,
Come to me, and I will help you crawl,
Won't let you fall, show you how to breathe.
So come to me.

Come to me...
Come to me...

I just LOVE this song. ;)

..

This song touches me to the depths of my soul... I cry every time I listen to it. For anyone who loves animals it's impossible NOT to cry. This song is dedicated to all the animals we share this planet with! PLEASE LISTEN!


The Dolphin by Nanne Gronvall

There was a dolphin playing with his love and friend
A hunting ship turned up and caught her in the end
He struggled to defend her but soon she just was gone
He never ever gave up searching for his love

He kept on crossing every ocean, every sea
He searched in hurricanes and cold untiringly
He missed the games they play and
How he missed the love they had
Without his girl his life was empty and so sad

True love will never surrender
True love will never fade away
He searched in storm and in sunshine
He'll keep on searching everyday
You'll hear him cry in the ocean
You'll hear him call his friend
He doesn't realize they will not meet again

He saw so many things he'd never seen before
Big whales that soon won't be existing anymore
He went through tainted waters
Pain seemed to have no end
But still he kept on searching for his love and friend

Turn around - while you can
Turn around - understand
You're alone - so go back home
Turn around....

True love will never surrender
True love will never fade away
He searched in storm and in sunshine
He'll keep on searching everyday
You'll hear him cry in the ocean
You'll hear him call his friend
He doesn't realize they will not meet again

You'll hear him crying when he's calling for his friend

I needed to post something uplifting... so here you go. ;)



I believe the sun should never set upon an argument
I believe we place our happiness in other people's hands
I believe that junk food tastes so good because it's bad for you
I believe your parents did the best job they knew how to do
I believe that beauty magazines promote low self esteem
I believe I'm loved when I'm completely by myself alone

I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love 'til you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye

I believe you can't control or choose your sexuality
I believe that trust is more important than monogamy
I believe your most attractive features are your heart and soul
I believe that family is worth more than money or gold
I believe the struggle for financial freedom is unfair
I believe the only ones who disagree are millionaires

I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love 'til you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye

I believe forgiveness is the key to your own happiness
I believe that wedded bliss negates the need to be undressed
I believe that God does not endorse tv evangelists
I believe in love surviving death into eternity

I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love 'til you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye(Repeat 2)
Until you say goodbye
Oh no no no no no

Over the past two years I have had SEVEN guys tell me, or other people have told me, that they were in love with me back in High School! O.o Now can someone PLEASE tell me WHY THE FUCK THAT IS HAPPENING NOW!? I mean REALLY! All I can ever think of to say is, "Oh thanks for telling me 10 years too fucking late DUMB ASS!" or "Why the FUCK did you NEVER SAY ANYTHING BACK THEN YOU RETARD!?" *SCREAMS*
And do you know an ironic part of it is? Three of them I either had it BAD for or I WAS IN LOVE WITH! I swear I just want to beat the SHIT OUT OF EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM! I spent most of my life under the assumption that the only guys that ever wanted me were the FUCKED UP ASSHOLES I ended up dating! And WHY did I date them? Hmmm... let's see; Because I thought NO ONE ELSE FUCKING WANTED ME, THAT'S WHY!
So what in GOD'S NAME is possessing ALL of them to tell me NOW!? When now I no longer want ANY KIND OF RELATIONSHIP WITH ANYONE! Hell, I don't even want to get LAID anymore and I haven't had sex in nearly 2 YEARS! I don't understand AT ALL! Why did NONE of them say anything when it MIGHT have made a difference!? What is it about me that made NONE of them say anything until it's far too late!?
As far as relationships go, I AM RUINED at this point! And the perfect irony of it all is that the three that I DID care for are the ones that HELPED RUIN ME! Granted, Alex was one of them too, but that's neither here nor there because HE DID SAY SOMETHING! It's so frustrating to have these guys coming to me now and telling me how much they loved me back in the day and that they still do! I'm not trying to be mean here, especially to the ones that I didn't have any feelings for, but still I can't even begin to explain how much it pisses me off!
So here's a heads up to any other guy out there that had a thing for me in High School, or at any point for that matter, that may even still care about me and is thinking about telling me; KEEP IT TO YOURSELF! No one is going to get ANYTHING from me at this point... or EVER! As far as I'm concerned all of you can go FUCK YOURSELVES, but quit FUCKING ME with your decade late confessions! This includes all the ones that have already told me as well! JUST LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is for the one I love the most.... and hate the most. Goodbye!

Lyrics | A Fine Frenzy lyrics - Almost Lover lyrics

Almost Lover

Your fingertips across my skin
The palm trees swaying in the wind
Images

You sang me Spanish lullabies
The sweetest sadness in your eyes
Clever trick

I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

We walked along a crowded street
You took my hand and danced with me
Images

And when you left you kissed my lips
You told me you would never let forget these images, no

I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

I cannot go to the ocean
I cannot drive the streets at night
I cannot wake up in the morning
Without you on my mind
So you're gone and I'm haunted
And I bet you are just fine
Did I make it that easy
To walk right in and out of my life?

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

I am so disheartened by the number of dogs and cats in shelters all across the country, even the world. A LARGE percentage of them are ADULT animals that no one really wants BECAUSE they are adults. People always want puppies and kittens so they are usually the first to get adopted while the adults, especially the seniors, get left to rot. It's heartbreaking! Every time I think about it I start crying... sobbing... because there is only so much I can do. I can't adopt any more animals... I already have 4 and it's hard enough taking care of them by myself. I volunteer at shelters, humane societies and rescues, I'm hopefully going to be able to help foster some dogs. Still it doesn't seem like enough. If I could I would give every homeless dog a home with me, but that's IMPOSSIBLE.

So instead I am making a heartfelt plea to everyone; PLEASE don't breed your pets, instead go adopt one of the hundreds of thousands of homeless animals. Adopt adults not just younger animals.

Help be a part of the solution, not part of the problem.
