comfort songs
I am not unable to write songs - but I am able to listen to them.
These are some that are making me sad right now...
Fantastic Toys and Corduroys - Duncan Sheik
Duncan wrote this song for his mama
One day maybe
when I grow up
A son you will have found
when I change my ways
one of these days
I know i'll make you proud
what I never say
because of busy days
Is all i want for you
I'm just not the best at being friends
but that's what we should do
when I see you happy
when you laugh
I'm never sad
fantastic toys and corduroys
everything you gave
Took me to school
I tried to be cool
you let me get away with it
What I wanna say
I think, I pray
for you to shine inside
Fighting words, how they sound absurd
when its you who gave me life
When I see you happy
when you laugh
I'm never sad
don't wanna be sad
shouldn't be sad
shouldn't be sad
what i never say
because of busy days
is all I want for you
I want to love like a mother's son
to always see you through
when I see you happy
when you laugh
I'm never sad
we shouldn't be sad
Julia - The Beatles
John Lennon wrote this song for his mother Julia...
Half of what I say is meaningless
But I say it just to reach you, Julia
Julia, Julia, oceanchild, calls me
So I sing a song of love, Julia
Julia, seashell eyes, windy smile, calls me
So I sing a song of love, Julia
Her hair of floating sky is shimmering, glimmering
In the sun
Julia, Julia, morning moon, touch me
So I sing a song of love, Julia
When I cannot sing my heart
I can only speak my mind, Julia
Julia, sleeping sand, silent cloud, touch me
So I sing a song of love, Julia
Hum hum hum hum... calls me
So I sing a song of love for Julia, Julia, Julia
