    Many many times, I get the blues, but I am the eternal optimist and always seem to snap out of it and get back to my happy go lucky self.

    This song by JoDee Messina sums up how I feel when I get the blues. I hope you get the chance to listen to it. You can download it on BearShare

    BRING ON THE RAIN

    Another day has almost come and gone
    Can't imagine what else could wrong
    Sometimes I'd like to hide away somewhere and lock the door
    A single battle lost but not the war

    Cause Tomorrow's another day
    And I'm thirsty anyway
    So bring on the rain

    It's almost like the hard times circle 'round
    A couple drops and they all start coming down
    Yeah, I might feel defeated,
    And I might hang my head
    I might be barely breathing - but I'm not dead

    Cause Tomorrow's another day
    And I'm thirsty anyway
    So bring on the rain

    I'm not gonna let it get me down
    I'm not gonna cry
    And I'm not gonna lose any sleep tonight

    From lilarcs to lilacs,

    Next time you feel blue, go out and buy yourself a pretty blue dress. Now, when I get blue, I go out and buy a pair of blue jeans. I don't look good in a blue dress, being a man type guy person.

    Oh come on, I bet you'd look good in a dress

    I don't want someone in my life I can live with. I want someone in my life I can't live without.

    Lilacs,

    I only look good in a dress, if I shave my legs and put on high heels, and blue is just not my color.

    How about red? LOL

    Here is another song I like when I have the blues. Hmmmmmmmm, maybe I have the blues now. Oh well.........

    EVEN GOD MUST GET THE BLUES

    Pick up any morning paper
    Turn on the 6 o'clock news
    The devil's been so busy lately
    That even God must get the blues

    A young man lies there in the street
    His life gone like it was nothin' to lose
    And for the shoes there on his feet
    Yes even God must get the blues

    When this rain falls down from heaven
    It must be the angels cryin'
    For all the sorrow in the world tonight

    A young girl hides her face in shame
    So they can't see it's been battered and bruised
    Like she's the one to blame
    Yes even God must get the blues

    Pick up any evening paper
    Turn on the 10 o'clock news
    The devil's been so busy lately
    That even God must get the blues
    Yeah even God must get the blues

    I don't want someone in my life I can live with. I want someone in my life I can't live without.

    Lilacs, I love that song; I can really relate to it also. Skeptic and I saw JoDee Messina at the Puyallup fair last Sept. and she sang that song from her upcoming CD.....she was really great!

    Lilacs,

    Since I can't lighten you up, I will give you the words from memory of an old Johnny Cash song on the original Sun Label:

    Just around the corner there's heartache.

    Down the street that looser's use.

    Come along with me

    misery loves company.

    You're welcome at the home of the blues.

    The place is filled with the sweetest memories.

    Memories so sweet, I could die.

    Dreams that I had,

    left me feelin so bad,

    I just wanted to give up, lay down and die,

    So, if you've just lost your sweetheart,

    and you have no good place to choose.

    Come along with me, misery loves company.

    You're welcome at the home of the blues.

    my immediate reaction to that sunject line is...

    Babahbabah!
    But then I don't feel so bad
    Babahbabah!
    'Cause you're the best damn woman
    Babahbabah!
    That I ever had

    But blues pastiches aside, here's a song;

    Blind Faith

    I look at you now
    I notice you're sleeping
    Your eyelids flutter
    What are you dreaming?

    Sometimes when I look at you
    You take my breath away
    And sometimes when you're holding me
    You won't let go
    You can't let go
    In blind faith
    In blind faith

    What a conceit
    To fight your dragons
    The motives were sweet
    But in the end it's up to you

    Sometimes when you're on your own
    The mouring lasts all the day
    But sometimes when you're on your own
    You don't let go
    Cause hell you know
    You've got blind faith
    You've got blind faith

    You say you've never
    Met someone quite like me
    Well count yoursefl blessed
    'Cause I'm a liability

    Sometimes when I'm with you
    The doubts just drift away
    And sometimes when I'm with you
    You let me know
    What I mean to me
    With your blind faith
    Your blind faith in me

    People living in glass paradigms shouldn't throw stones...

    The sun is shining, but it's raining in my heart.

    That's the way it was. After I left the WT doctrines the sun is starting to shine there too.

    I can see clearly now since the rain has gone. It's gonna be a bright, bright sunshiny day.

    Windrider, I was able to see JoDee in concert also. Two years ago in Raleigh. She opened for the Judds. I didn't even know she would be there. I was happier to see her than the Judds. I love her voice.

    My favorite song of hers is. I want a man to stand beside me.

    Lilacs

    I don't want someone in my life I can live with. I want someone in my life I can't live without.
