Dolly Parton - Wrapped Up In You

We’ve been admiring Dolly’s new album A Holly Dolly Christmas for her beautiful voice and spirit and the healing messages that she has baked in. It’s so wonderful seeing a musician operating at this caliber. She’s got that light about her.

Wrapped Up In You lyrics

Take my hand, take my heart
Take my whole life too
Take your time, take my love
It's good and pure and true

The gift of love is hard to find
I've searched my whole life through
God above has smiled on us
This Christmas I got you

Chorus:

Tis the season to be jolly
How could I feel blue?
My gift to you, my gift of love
All wrapped up in you

In ribbons bright of joy and light
In bows of hope and truth
Bound and tied, this gift for life
And all wrapped up in you
I'm all wrapped up in you

Repeat Chorus

I'm all wrapped up in you

Billy Joel - I Go to Extremes

Billy Joel is releasing a very exciting set including a very memorable performance at Yankee Stadium.

I Go to Extremes Lyrics

Call me a joke, call me a fool
Right at this moment I'm totally cool
Clear as a crystal, sharp as a knife
I feel like I'm in the prime of my life
Sometimes it feels like I'm going too fast

I don't know how long this feeling will last
Maybe it's only tonight
Darling I don't know why I go to extremes
Too high or too low there ain't no in-betweens
And if I stand or I fall

It's all or nothing at all
Darling I don't know why I go to extremes
Sometimes I'm tired, sometimes I'm shot
Sometimes I don't know how much more I've got
Maybe I'm headed over the hill
Maybe I've set myself up for the kill
Tell me how much do you think you can take

Until the heart in you is starting to break?
Sometimes it feels like it will
Darling I don't know why I go to extremes
Too high or too low there ain't no in-betweens
You can be sure when I'm gone

I won't be out there too long
Darling I don't know why I go to extremes
Out of the darkness, into the light
Leaving the scene of the crime
Either I'm wrong or I'm perfectly right every time
Sometimes I lie awake, night after night
Coming apart at the seams

Eager to please, ready to fight
Why do I go to extremes?

And if I stand or I fall

It's all or nothing at all
Darling I don't know why I go to extremes
No I don't know why I go to extremes

Too high or too low there ain't no in-betweens
You can be sure when I'm gone
I won't be out there too long
Darling I don't know why I go to extremes
I don't know why, I don't know why

I don't know why, I don't know why
Out of the dark, into the light

Either I'm wrong, perfectly right

I don't know why

Paul McCartney - Blackbird

One of my favorite songs EVER.

Blackbird Lyrics

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free

Blackbird fly, blackbird fly
Into the light of a dark black night

Blackbird fly, blackbird fly
Into the light of a dark black night

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise

The Rolling Stones - Heaven

Tattoo You is a very relevant album right now. Enjoy this passionate song from The Rolling Stones.

Heaven Lyrics

Smell of you baby, my senses, my senses be praised
Smell of you baby, my senses, my senses be praised

Kissing and running, kissing and running away
Kissing and running, kissing and running away
Senses be praised
Senses be praised

You're my saving grace
Saving grace
Nothing will harm you
Nothing will stand in your way

Nothing, nothing
Nothing will stop you
And nothing will stand in your way

No one will harm you
No one will stand in your way
No one will bar you
Nothing will stand in your way
Nothing
There's nothing

Andy Logan - Made You Blue

We have a lovely song that appears to fit right into what’s going on right now.

Sting, Josh Groban With Leslie Odom Jr. - Shape Of My Heart

It’s really been on my mind that Sting is touring Europe right now and I hope that he is having a very good experience. I’d like to share a song that I particularly appreciate below.

Shape Of My Heart Lyrics

He deals the cards as a meditation
And those he plays never suspect
He doesn't play for the money he wins
He doesn't play for respect

He deals the cards to find the answer
The sacred geometry of chance
The hidden law of a probable outcome
The numbers lead a dance

I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart

He may play the Jack of diamonds
He may lay the Queen of spades
He may conceal a King in his hand
While the memory of it fades

I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart
That's not the shape, the shape of my heart

If I told her that I loved you
You'd maybe think there's something wrong
I'm not a man of too many faces
The mask I wear is one

But those who speak know nothing
And find out to their cost
Like those who curse their luck in too many places
And those who fear are lost

I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart
That's not the shape of my heart
That's not the shape, the shape of my heart, ooh
Oh

Cut through the brainwashing and some people might feel motivated to unite with a sense of courage and purpose.

Who benefits from burying me alive? I’m not the guilty party and I’m the captive of people who really need to be deeply understood for exactly who they are by as many people as possible.

Elvis Costello - (When You’re On The) Losing End

I had no idea he even knew I existed. I would’ve done anything for him if I knew. How much heartbreak can be endured so criminals can continue to run games against the public?

The Losing End (When You're On) lyrics

I went into town to see you yesterday
But you were not home
So I talked to some old friends for a while
Before I wandered off alone

It's so hard for me now but I'll make it somehow
Though I know I'll never be the same, won't you ever change your ways?
It's so hard to make love pay when you're on the losing end
And I feel that way again, yeah

Well, I miss you more than ever
Since you've gone I can hardly maintain
Things are different round here every night
My tears fall down like rain

It's so hard for me now but I'll make it somehow
Though I know I'll never be the same, won't you ever change your ways?
It's so hard to make love pay when you're on the losing end
And I feel that way again

It's so hard for me now but I'll make it somehow
Though I know I'll never be the same, won't you ever change your ways?
It's so hard to make love pay when you're on the losing end
And I feel that way again

Grateful Dead - Dire Wolf

Why do we all feel as if there is a gun to our heads? Maybe it’s because there is a gun to our heads. What a world government we have these days. How do we vote out someone who has a big media machine drilling it into the brainwashed that his existence is nothing but “a conspiracy theory”. Wouldn’t it be nice if the tricks stopped working all over?

Dire Wolf lyrics

Grateful Dead

In the timbers to Fennario
The wolves are runnin' round
The winter was so hard and cold
Froze ten feet 'neath the ground

Don't murder me, I beg of you
Don't murder me, please, don't murder me

I sat down to my supper
It was a bottle of red whisky
I said my prayers and went to bed
That's the last they saw of me

Don't murder me, I beg of you
Don't murder me, please, don't murder me

When I awoke, the dire wolf
Six hundred pounds of sin
Was grinning at my window
All I said was, "Come on in"

But don't murder me, I beg of you
Don't murder me, please, don't murder me

The wolf came in, I got my cards
We sat down for a game
I cut my deck to the queen of spades
But the cards were all the same

Don't murder me, I beg of you
Don't murder me, please, don't murder me
Don't murder me

In the backwash of Fennario
The black and bloody mire
The dire wolf collects his due
While the boys sing 'round the fire

Don't murder me, I beg of you
Don't murder me, please, don't murder me

Don't murder me, I beg of you
Don't murder me, please, don't murder me

No, no, no don't murder me, I beg of you
Don't murder me, please, don't murder me
Please, don't murder me

Thank you to each and every one of you fighting for our emancipation.

Respect to Prince for standing up for his freedom and ours. May he still be with us.

Emancipation lyrics

Prince

Ever since I was a little baby
I had 2 have double everything
When they tell me that's enough
That's when I wanna fill my cup
2 the top, Johnny, hear me sing

Emancipation - free 2 do what I wanna
Emancipation - see U in the purple rain
Emancipation - free 2 do what I wanna
Emancipation - break the chain, break the chain

Ever since that Eve did unto Adam, alright
What somebody been sho'nuff doin' 2 me (Watch it!)
I've been tryin' 2 break the chain
Get my little ass out the game
I'd rather sing with a bit more harmony, oh

Johnny please, huh, when I was on my knees
My back was broken and my spirit ill at ease
And now it seems just like the autumn leaves
Your money's turned from green 2 brown and now U best believe

(Emancipation) {repeat in BG}
Break the chain, oh yeah
Well, sho'nuff
See U in the purple rain
Emancipation - free 2 do what I wanna
Break the break the break the chain!

Hey!
Alright!
Hey! {x4}
Emancipation
Free - don't think I ain't!
Emancipation
