Music has always been important to me. It can reflect my
feelings when I’m hurting, can inspire and uplift me, and
sometimes just make me smile. Here are a few of my favourite
songs for those down times.
Waiting - George Michael
(from “Listen Without Prejudice”, Epic, 1990)
All those insecurities
That have held me down for so long
Can’t say I’ve found a cure for these
But at least I know them
So they’re not so strong
How will you go?
How will you go?
Drive through the wind and the rain.
Cover it up.
Cover it up.
I’ll find you a shelter to sleep in.
Everybody hurts
Sometimes
Everybody cries...
Did I ask too much
More than a lot
You gave me nothing
now its all i’ve got.
We’re one
but we’re not the same...
I don’t pay attention to the distance that you’re running
To anyone, anwhere
I don’t understand if you really care
I’m only hearing negative: no, no, no.
So gather around
And see what the day brings
See what makes you laugh
And what makes you sing.
I find sometimes it’s easy to be myself
Sometimes
I find it’s better to be somebody else
So much to say
And she’s searching through the stations(From “Run Baby Run”)
For an unfamiliar song
And she pictures all the places
Where she knows she still belongs
Could be worse(From “Can’t Cry Anymore”)
Could’ve missed my calling
Sometimes it hurts
But when you read the writing on the wall
Can’t cry anymore
Who says: Hard times?(from “The Cool River”)
I’m used to that.
The speeding planet burns
I’m used to that.
My life’s so common it disappears.
And sometimes even music
Cannot substitute for tears.
There may come a time(from “Further to Fly)
When you’ll be tired
As tired as a dream that wants to die
And further to fly...
