My Favorite Song – Send me an Angel

Manish 'Pakhi' Leave a comment

The call of my Heart!!! All along the life and its intriguing vicissitudes; every line of this songs rhymes with my self amused sense of losing and hanging on and still losing; so much to lose in one life time…one by one..

Each parting leaving a void; taking that bit of yours away that gave you life; In the land of the ‘Morning Star’ Angels Descend to pirouette gently and blow soothing winds to comfort your soul!!

The eyes are moist and lips go dry; Cracked heels bear the shoulders upright!! Where is the light??

My Someone!!

Lyrics

Wise man said just walk this way
To the dawn of the light
Wind will blow into your face
As the years pass you by
Hear this voice from deep inside
It’s the call of your heart
Close your eyes and you will find
Passage out of the dark

Here I am (Here I am)
Will you send me an angel?
Here I am (Here I am)
In the land of the morning star

Wise man said just find your place
In the eye of the storm
Seek the roses along the way
Just beware of the thorns

Here I am (Here I am)
Will you send me an angel?
Here I am (Here I am)
In the land of the morning star

Wise man said just raise your hand
And reach out for the spell
Find the door to the promised land
Just believe in yourself
Hear this voice from deep inside
It’s the call of your heart
Close your eyes and you will find
The way out of the dark

Here I am (Here I am)
Will you send me an angel?
Here I am (Here I am)
In the land of the morning star (Here I am)
Will you send me an angel?
Here I am (Here I am)
In the land of the morning star (Here I am)

Will you send me an angel?
Here I am (Here I am)
In the land of the morning star (Here I am)
Will you send me an angel?
Here I am (Here I am)
In the land of the morning star

My Favourite songs – Buy me a rose

My Favorite  songs – Buy me a rose
“Buy Me a Rose”  song is recorded by American country music artist Kenny Rogers. It became number one in Billboard hot country singles charts making Kenny Rogers the oldest number one  hit singer at the age of 61.
The song beautifully narrates how futile material gifts from a husband to wife could be and how his simple gestures can win her heart.
LYRICS
He works hard to give her all he thinks she wants
A three car garage, her own credit cards
He pulls in late to wake her up with a kiss good night
If he could only read her mind, she’d say:
Buy me a rose, call me from work
Open a door for me, what would it hurt
Show me you love me by the look in your eyes
These are the little things I need the most in my life
Now the days have grown to years of feeling all alone
And she can’t help but wonder what she’s doing wrong
Cause lately she’d try anything to turn his head
Would it make a difference if she said:
Buy me a rose, call me from work
Open a door for me, what would it hurt
Show me you love me by the look in your eyes
These are the little things I need the most in my life
And the more that he lives the less that he tries
To show her the love that he hold inside
And the more that she gives the more that he sees
This is a story of you and me
So I bought you a rose on the way home from work
Opened the door to a heart that I hurt
And I hope you notice this look in my eyes
Cause I’m gonna make things right
I’m gonna hold you tonight
Do all those little things
For the rest of your life.

Stand By Me
An American soul and R&B singer, Benjamin Earl King (September 28, 1938 – April 30, 2015), was the singer and composer of “Stand by Me”.  A US Top 10 hit, both in 1961 and later in 1986, a number one hit in the UK in 1987, and no. 25 on the RIAA’s list of Songs of the Century, this song has been performed, recorded and released by many singers including Sir John Lennon.
This song has a soulful and piercing voice filling each word with an ‘ask’ – a natural craving of the loving hearts to lean on each other and draw strength.
Beautiful and captivating!!

My Favourite songs – Fast Car

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman, four times Grammy winner made her debut with this wonderful song, that remains one of my favourite till date. Her soulful voice sets a sensitive, thoughtful, pensive and melancholic backdrop and guides the listeners imagination to a vivid visualisation of the storyline.”Fast Car” climbed on the US charts soon after her performance at the televised Nelson Mandela 70th Birthday Tribute concert in June 1988; it became a number 6 pop hit on the Billboard Hot 100 for the week ending August 27, 1988.

Lyrics
Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Anyplace is better
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we’ll make something
Me, myself I got nothing to prove
You got a fast car
I got a plan to get us out of here
I been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
Won’t have to drive too far
Just ‘cross the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
And finally see what it means to be living
You see my old man’s got a problem
He live with the bottle that’s the way it is
He says his body’s too old for working
His body’s too young to look like his
My mama went off and left him
She wanted more from life than he could give
I said somebody’s got to take care of him
So I quit school and that’s what I did
You got a fast car
Is it fast enough so we can fly away
We gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way
So remember we were driving, driving in your car
Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped ’round my shoulder
I had a feeling that I belonged
I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
We go cruising to entertain ourselves
You still ain’t got a job
I work in a market as a checkout girl
I know things will get better
You’ll find work and I’ll get promoted
We’ll move out of the shelter
Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs
I remember we were driving, driving in your car
Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped ’round my shoulder
I had a feeling that I belonged
I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
I got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking late at the bar
See more of your friends than you do of your kids
I’d always hoped for better
Thought maybe together you and me would find it
I got no plans I ain’t going nowhere
So take your fast car and keep on driving
I remember we were driving, driving in your car
Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped ’round my shoulder
I had a feeling that I belonged
I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so you can fly away
You gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way

My Favourite songs- Joan Baez : 500 Miles

My Favorite  songs-  Joan Baez : 500 Miles
In a career spanning over 55 years and over 30 albums, Joan Baez is still touring and still mesmerizing audiences all over the world. Her social activism has provoked and inspired, encouraging many other performers who followed to stand up for their beliefs.
Baez’s ‘We Shall Overcome’  became prominent during the Civil Rights Movement in the 60’s;  she marched with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and performed the song at rallies. 500 miles is another soulful performance from her with keen sensitivity enveloping every beat and note.
In addition to supporting civil rights as an artist and worker, Baez participated in university free-speech efforts led by students and the antiwar movement, calling for an end to the conflict in Vietnam. Beginning in 1964, she would refuse to pay part of her taxes to protest U.S. military spending for a decade.

She was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Grammy in 2007.

500 miles lyrics
Peter, Paul and Mary
If you miss the train I’m on,
You will know that I am gone,
You can hear the whistle blow, a hundred miles.
A hundred miles, a hundred miles,
A hundred miles, a hundred miles.
You can hear the whistle blow, a hundred miles.
Lord, I’m one, Lord I’m two
Lord, I’m three, Lord I’m four,
Lord, I’m five hundred miles away from home.
Not a shirt on my back,
Not a penny to my name,
Lord, I can’t go back home this away.
This away, this away, this away, this away.
Lord, I can’t go back home, this away.
If you miss the train I’m on, you will know that I am gone,
You can hear the whistle blow, a hundred miles.
A hundred miles, a hundred miles,
A hundred miles, a hundred miles.
You can hear the whistle blow, a hundred miles.
