Een nieuw topic om mijn eigen favoriete songs te verzamelen...en te delen, misschien soms met een verhaal...
Dit nummer hoorde ik vanmorgen onder de douche en is een van mijn mooiste nummers aller tijden.
The living years
Every generation blames the one before
And all of their frustrations come beating on your door
I know that I'm a prisoner to all my father held so dear
I know that I'm a hostage to all his hopes and fears
I just wish I could have told him in the living years
Oh-oh crumpled bits of paper filled with imperfect thought
Stilted conversations, I'm afraid that's all we've got
You say you juist don't see it, he says it's perfect sense
You just can't get agreement in this present tense
We all talk a different language, talking in defence
CHORUS: Say it loud, say it clear, you can listen as well as you hear
It's too late when we die, to admit we don't see eye to eye
So we open up a quarrel between the present and the past
We only sacrifice the future, it's the bitterness thats lasts
So don't yield to the fortunes you sometimes see as fate
It may have a new perspective on a different day
And if you don't give up and don't give in, you may just be okay
REPEAT CHORUS
I wasn't there that morning when my father passed away
I didn't get to tell him all the things I had to say
I think I caught his spirit later that same year
I'm sure I heard his echo in my baby's new born tears
I just wish I could have told him in the living years- REPEAT CHORUS TWICE
-Mike & THe Mechanics

Godin van de liefde
De godin van de liefde
Gaf mij het leven op het land
En ik zal nooit meer teruggaan
Naar het grote misverstand
Sinds alle vogels zijn gevlogen
Is zij dag en nacht bij mij
Een zwerver met een doel voor ogen ben ik nu
Een keizer zonder heerschappij
Oh de godin van de liefde
Gaf mij het leven op het land
En ik zal nooit meer teruggaan
Naar het grote misverstand
Ik ben een kluizenaar met duizend vrienden
Een eiland met een zee van tijd
Een blinde en een helderziende tegelijk
Een monnik zonder eenzaamheid
De godin van de liefde
Gaf mij de dagen op het land
En ik zal nooit meer teruggaan
Naar het grote misverstand
Hier is het blad nog onbeschreven
En je kunt op het ritme leven
Dat de bomen hier doet groeien
In de kringloop der seizoenen
Ik zal je duizend maal begroeten
Ik zal je duizend maal omhelzen
Ik leer je vliegen in de zomer
Ik zal je kussen in de regen
En je ogen zullen stralen
En ik zal het duizend maal herhalen.....
Want in de stad kraait er geen haan naar jou
(Elly Nieman/ Rikkert zuiderveld)

Lang leve Elly en Rikkert 
" Midden in het tuintje van m'n oude malle oom, staat een kauwgomballenboom, een achte kauwgomballenboom..."

Ja, die vind ik grappig...
Ik ben echt opgegroeid met Elly en Rikkert, ik vind vooral de nummers van vóor hun 'christelijke bekering' erg mooi, met voor mij inspirerende teksten.
In deze ode aan de liefde wordt het -vind ik- zó mooi verwoord: door de liefde worden tegenstellingen verenigd...
en dan de eenvoud:
je kunt op het ritme leven, dat de bomen hier doet groeien, prachtig!!
een blinde en een helderziende tegelijk...

1000 jarig vredesrijk?
Sommige stukjes doen me denken aan een geschrift uit de Nag Hammadi geschriften; Donder, volkomen bewustzijn.

Vanmorgen werd ik wakker met dit nummer in mijn hoofd, het laatste gedeelte:
The Wings That Fly Us Home
There are many ways of being in this circle we call life
A wise man seeks an answer, burns his candle through the night
Is a jewel just a pebble that found a way to shine
Is a hero’s blood more righteous than a hobo’s sip of wine
Did I speak to you one morning on some distant world away
Did you save me from an arrow, did you lay me in a grave
Were we brothers on a journey, did you teach me how to run
Were we broken by the waters, did I lie you in the sun
I dreamed you were a prophet in a meadow
I dreamed I was a mountain in the wind
I dreamed you knelt and touched me with a flower
I awoke with this: a flower in my hand
I know that love is seeing all the infinite in one
In the brotherhood of creatures; who the father, who the son
The vision of your goodness will sustain me through the cold
Take my hand now to remember when you find yourself alone
And the spirit fills the darkness of the heavens
It fills the endless yearning of the soul
It lives within a star too far to dream of
It lives within each part and is the whole
It’s the fire and the wings that fly us home
Fly us home, fly us home
Words by Joe Henry, music by John Denver
Tja, John Denver... als kind hield ik (al) van zijn muziek en de teksten.

John DenverPerhaps love is like a resting place
A shelter from the storm
It exists to give you comfort
It is there to keep you warm
And in those times of trouble
When you are most alone
The memory of love will bring you home
Perhaps love is like a window
Perhaps an open door
It invites you to come closer
It wants to show you more
And even if you lose yourself
And don't know what to do
The memory of love will see you thru
Oh, love to some is like a cloud
To some as strong as steel
For some a way of living
For some a way to feel
And some say love is holding on
And some say letting go
And some say love is everything
Some say they don't know
Perhaps love is like the ocean
Full of conflict full of pain
Like a fire when it's cold outside
Thunder when it rains
If I should live forever
And all my dreams come true
My memories of love will be of you

Dank je Lena, ja dat is ook een mooi duet.....
Komt er nog een van John, een nummer waarin ik veel herkenning vond/vind...
Looking For Space
On the road of experience, I'm trying to find my own way.
Sometimes I wish that I could fly away
When I think that I'm moving, suddently things stand still
I'm afraid 'cause I think they always will
And I'm looking for space
And to find out who I am
And I'm looking to know and understand
It's a sweet, sweet dream
Sometimes I'm almost there
Sometimes I fly like an eagle
And sometimes I'm deep in despair
All alone in the universe, sometimes that's how it seems
I get lost in the sadness and the screams
Then I look in the center, suddently everything's clear
I find myself in the sunshine and my dreams
And I'm looking for space
And to find out who I am
And I'm looking to know and understand
It's a sweet, sweet dream
Sometimes I'm almost there
Sometimes I fly like an eagle
And sometimes I'm deep in despair
On the road of experience, join in the living day
if there's an answer, it's just that it's just that way
When you're looking for space
And to find out who you are
When you're looking to try and reach the stars
It's a sweet, sweet sweet dream
Sometimes I'm almost there
Sometimes I fly like an eagle
But sometimes I'm deep in despair
Sometimes I fly like an eagle,
like an eagle
I go flying flying

écht prachtig:
Loreena McKennitt - Dante's prayer
When the dark wood fell before me
And all the paths were overgrown
When the priests of pride say there is no other way
I tilled the sorrows of stone
I did not believe because I could not see
Though you came to me in the night
When the dawn seemed forever lost
You showed me your love in the light of the stars
Chorus:
Cast your eyes on the ocean
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seems endless
Please remember me
Then the mountain rose before me
By the deep well of desire
From the fountain of forgiveness
Beyond the ice and the fire
Chorus
Though we share this humble path, alone
How fragile is the heart
Oh give these clay feet wings to fly
To touch the face of the stars
Breathe life into this feeble heart
Lift this mortal veil of fear
Take these crumbled hopes, etched with tears
We'll rise above these earthly cares
Chorus
Please remember me
Please remember me, ...

Mooi hoor Inneke.............
Plaats ik nu het lied van míjn man en mij, het werd gedraaid op onze trouwdag in het gemeentehuis...
Here is your paradise
I never knew love could be a silence in the heart,
A moment when the time is still,
And all I've been looking for is right here in my arms,
Just waiting for the chance to begin;
I never knew love could be the sunlight in your eyes,
On a day that you may not have seen,
And all I've been searching for, well words could never say,
When a touch is more than anything;
Maybe you will never know how much I love you,
But of this, be sure;
Here is your paradise, here is your book of life,
Where you and I will be forevermore,
Here is your paradise, here is your book of life,
Where you and I will be forevermore;
And in the dark night, you'll follow the bright light,
And go where the love must go,
And you will wake in the morning to a brand new day,
Take all your worries away;
Maybe you will never know how much I love you,
But of this, be sure,
Here is your paradise, here is your book of life,
Where you and I will be forevermore,
Here is your paradise, here is your book of life,
Where you and I will be forevermore.

'Gabriella's Song' uit de film "As it is in heaven"
Het wordt gezongen door Helen Sjöholm, een bekende musicalster in Zweden. Het is geschreven door Stefan Nilsson. Hier de vertaling:
vanaf nu is mijn leven van mij
ik heb maar zo'n korte tijd op aarde
en mijn verlangen heeft me hier gebracht
alles wat mij ontbrak en alles dat ik vergaarde
en toch is het de weg die ik koos
mijn vertrouwen was eindeloos
dat mij een klein stukje toonde
van de hemel die ik nooit vond
ik wil voelen dat ik leef
al mijn dagen lang
ik wil leven zoals ik wil
ik wil voelen dat ik leef
in de wetenschap dat ik goed genoeg was
ik ben nooit mijzelf verloren
het sliep alleen in me
misschien had ik nooit'n keuze
behalve dan de wil om te leven
het enige dat ik wil is gelukkig worden
zijn wie ik ben
en sterk en vrij zijn
de dag uit de nacht zien opkomen
ik ben hier
en mijn leven is alleen van mij
en de hemel waarvan ik overtuigd was
bleek ergens daar te zijn
ik wil voelen
dat ik mijn leven geleefd heb
zoals ik dat wil.

It will be me
If you hear a voice, in the middle of the night
Saying it will be alright
It will be me
If you feel a hand, guiding you along
When the path seems wrong
It will be me
There is no mountain that I can`t climb
For you I`d swim through the rivers of time
As you go your way and I go mine
A light will shine
And it will be me
If there is a key, that goes to your heart
A special part
It will be me
If you need a friend, call out to the wind
To hold you again
It will be me
Oh how the world seems so unfair
Creating a love that cannot be shared
As you go your way and I go mine
A light will shine
And it will be me
I still have a laughter
There`s a place for two
Here your tears of laughter
I`ll be there for you
In the sun and the moon
In the land and the sea
will come around you
It will be me
There is no mountain that I can`t climb
For you I`d swim through the rivers of time
As you go your way and I go mine
A light will shine
And it will be me
It will be me
It will be me...
