Songs of the day

Got to Get You Into My Life

As Sung by the Beatles

I was alone, I took a ride, I didn't know what I would find there.
Another road, where maybe I could see another kind of mind there.
Ooh, then I suddenly see you.
Oooh, did I tell you I need you ev'ry single day of my life?

Got to get you into my life
Got to get you into my life

You didn't run, wyou didn't lie, you knew I wanted just to hold you
And had you gone you knew in time we'd meet again for I had told you.
Ooh, you were meant to be near me.
Ooh, and I want you to hear me say we'll be together ev'ry day.

Got to get you into my life
Got to get you into my life

What can I do, what can I be, when I'm with you I want to stay there.
If I'm true I'll never leave and if I do I know the way there.
Ooh, then I suddenly see you.
Ooh, did I tell you I need you ev'ry single day of my life?

Got to get you into my life
Got to get you into my life
Got to get you into my life
Got to get you into my life

Got to Admit It's Getting Better

As sung by the Beatles

It's getting better all the time
I used to get mad at my school (No, I can't complain)
The teachers who taught me weren't cool( No, I can't complain)
You're holding me down (Oh Oh)
Turning me round(Oh Oh)
Filling me up with your rules(Oooh)

I've got to admit it's getting better (Better)
A little better all the time (It can't get no worse)
I have to admit it's getting better (better)
It's getting better
Since you've been mine

Me used to be a angry young man
Me hiding me head in the sand
You gave me the word, I finally heard
I'm doing the best that I can

I've got to admit it's getting better(Better)
A little better all the time (It can't get no worse)
I have to admit its getting better (Better)
It's getting better
Since you've been mine

Getting so much better all the time!

It's getting better all the time
Better, better, better.
It's getting better all the time
Better, better, better.

I used to be cruel to my woman
I beat her and kept her apart from the things that she loved
Man, I was mean but I'm changing my scene
And I'm doing the best that I can (ooh)

I admit it's getting better
A little better all the time (It can't get no worse)
Yes, I admit it's getting better, it's getting better
Since you've been mine

Getting so much better all the time

It's getting better all the time
Better Better Better
It's getting better all the time
Better Better Better

Getting so much better all the time

Song of the day

The Sound of Silence

As sung by Simon and Garfunkel

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence

"Fools", said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words, like silent raindrops fell
And echoed
In the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls"
And whispered in the sounds of silence

Howard finally called today. I think he's been sulking. He was a little belligerent and said a few things I think that he will wind up regretting. Thankfully, I really don't think that they were aimed at me. It's called self-preservation.

Sometimes I feel like I live in a bubble. I am at peace most of the time. An odd feeling really when I've always had chaos around me. So, when something good comes along I have a hard time believing it is for real. Case in point, my new friend Howard. I like him, feel an attraction toward him, and yet I keep seeing all these red flags. Then I step back from it and I see that he's just as out of synch as I am. He's not really sending up red flags, he's just got to talk whatever is bothering him out of his system. Hey, I do that. So why can't I move forward with this? Am I afraid? Well, yeah. It's been 12 years since I've been on a date. I've been divorced for 7 years and I was married for 5 years. I'm not so sure I know what you're supposed to do on a date.

I may have screwed up any chance of moving forward with him. I sincerely hope not but I've got a feeling it is over before it really began.

I just finished watching "Dangerous Minds" with Michelle Pfiffer. "Freedon Writers" has been on recently, too. I used to be that kind of teacher. I wanted to make a difference and maybe I did; at least, I'd like to think I did. I don't have it in me to teach any more. I don't have the fire. But if I did, I'd want to teach teen agers again. Those were some pretty cool years. I enjoyed coaching Special Olympics basketball. I enjoyed the mock trials and the field trips. I enjoyed seeing the light come on as we read poetry, books and plays.

At any rate, the reason I'm online tonight is that I remembered a line from a movie. I can't remember the movie nor what it was about but the line was, "love and light, baby, love and light." Yeah, I know it's vague. But that's how my thoughts are these days. I'm either half way there or not at all.

I've got a song that I'm trying to find the name for and the artist who sings it. It's from the first episode in the first season of Joan of Arcadia. The words are something like, "You don't need a reason to hang around, you don't need to be broken to break down, you don't need to be crazy to stand up and shout, you don't need to have all the answers to know what it's all about...." If anyone knows this song please let me know.
