Edge Of Desire - John Mayer (Cover by Ciara Catalla)

The Way That I Need You

Loved with everlasting love,
Led by grace that love to know;
Spirit, breathing from above,
Thou hast taught me it is so.
Oh, this full and perfect peace!
Oh, this transport all divine!
In a love which cannot cease.
I am His, and He is mine.

In a love which cannot cease,
I am His, and He is mine.

Heaven above is softer blue,
Earth around is sweeter green;
Something lives in every hue
Christless eyes have never seen:
Birds with gladder songs o'erflow,
Flow'rs with deeper beauties shine,
Since I know, as now I know,
I am His, and He is mine.

Things that once were wild alarms
Cannot now disturb my rest;
Closed in everlasting arms,
Pillowed on the loving breast.
Oh, to lie forever here,
Doubt and care and self resign,
While He whispers in my ear,
I am His, and He is mine.

His forever, only His:
Who the Lord and me shall part?
Ah, with what a rest of bliss
Christ can fill the loving heart.
Heaven and earth may fade and flee,
Firstborn light in gloom decline;
But, while God and I shall be,
I am His, and He is mine.



Loved With Everlasting Love

Won't Back Down

I remember turning on MTV and seeing a futuristic apocalypse set to a dance beat.  In the middle of it all was some shirtless, snarling dude with his fist in the air.  The guy was Billy Idol, and I’ve loved the song ever since.  It was actually first released by his band Generation X with harder guitars in the mix.  My version is a different approach than either of those to say the least.  Slowed down as a piano ballad, I thought the recontextualisation of the lyrics evoked a kind of loneliness.  I started playing it this way one night last year, and it stuck with me.

I Can't Make You Love Me by Dave Thomas Junior

Album: B-Sides & Other Ways.

Lyrics:

Turn down the lights, turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me, tell me no lies
Just hold me close, don't patronize
Don't patronize me
Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't
I'll close my eyes, then I won't see
The love you don't feel when you're holding me
Morning will come and I'll do what's right
Just give me till then to give up this fight
And I will give up this fight
Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these lonely hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't
Don't even try, don't even try
Don't even try, don't even try
Don't even try, don't even try
