08 - L'Appel Du Vide

With his eyes on fire and his heart ablaze, 
He goes looking for the flavor of his younger days.
Locked in a battle with the demon, time
He's an unfinished poem searching for a rhyme.
 As his life starts to unfold he questions why. 
“Am I doomed to just grow old and die?”

So he arms himself with an M.B.A.
BMW and PTA.
Over barbecue grills he poetically waxes
How he avoided paying income taxes.
His  ambitions starts a’gnawing his insides.
He’s so busy he can’t hear the voices cry.

You gotta live, you gotta try. You gotta soar, you gotta fly.
You gotta hope, you gotta pray. 
You gotta lend a helping hand to your brother every day. You gotta live.
 
 She’s climbing fast on the corporate ladder,
 If someone’s hurt, what does it matter?
And the motto she holds oh, so dear.
“Feel no mercy, show no fear.”
There’s no question that she’s gonna reach the  top,
But the question is, does   she know when to stop?

You gotta live, you gotta try. You gotta soar, you gotta fly.
You gotta hope, you gotta pray. 
You gotta lend a helping hand to your brother every day. You gotta live.
You gotta win, you gotta lose.  
You gotta make a lotta choices, and knowing when you choose,
You gotta smile through it all, ‘cause your
Family, they all need you, need you standing straight and tall. You gotta live.

You Gotta Live

Chasing Demons

This tune was released by Kylie Minogue in 2001. Performed by me on my Yamaha PSR-SX900 arranger keyboard.

Can you "Name That Tune"? I have a website that contains my complete collection of tunes with their titles revealed at: www.harveytwyman.com

Name That Tune #576 by Kylie Minogue

A song about leaving toxicity behind: this haunting melody is complemented by piano and swelling violins before the gritty guitar crashes in, turning the whole thing into a defiant anthem.

A love song?😍 Yeah, maybe. But not the usual kind.
This one's about giving it all. No filters, no fear, no plan B.
Because when someone becomes your whole damn life,
you stop playing it cool.
You burn. You shine. You stay.
My life is you.❤️
Take it or leave it.

Lyrics:

All my life was just rushing away
‘till now
When you weren’t there
But now even the sun and the stars
Have stopped their rise and fall

My life is you
My life is you
My life is you
Darling
My life is you
Only you 
Now my life  
Belongs to you
To you  

Yes, I'm gonna catch the stars in the sky
Right now
So your bright eyes  
Have lights that shine as high
For their eternal lives  

Yes, I'll catch the magic in the air
Right now
For your happiness
And make you smile forevermore
For the rest of your life  

My life is you
My life is you
My life is you
Darling
My life is you
Honey
My life is you

My life is you
My life is you
All my life is you
Darling
My life is you

Yes, I'll set the fire in my heart
Right now
To keep you warm
Through the coldest nights
Forever by my side

Yes, I'll paint the heavens in your name
Right now
So every dawn
Will whisper soft and bright
That you’re my only light

My life is you
My life is you
My life is you
Darling
My life is you
Honey
My life is you

My life is you
My life is you
All my life is you
Darling
My life is you

My life is you
All my, my life
My life is you

My life is you


My Life Is You

Master Plan

[Intro]
I turned off the noise, let the silence in
Stepped outside and let the real life begin

[Verse 1]
No more headlines shouting through my phone
No more scrolling while I sit alone
I found my smile in a puppy’s face
Chasing tails in the backyard space

[Chorus]
It’s the simple things that make me whole
Like a child’s laugh or a heart-felt goal
Not a screen or a stream, just love on display
Watching the world in a natural way
I feel alive, I feel so free
The simple things mean everything to me

[Verse 2]
We played old board games on the porch that night
Fireflies dancing in soft twilight
Kittens curled up on my open lap
Kids spinning stories, sharing snacks

[Chorus]
It’s the simple things that make me whole
Like a child’s laugh or a heart-felt goal
Not a screen or a stream, just love on display
Watching the world in a natural way
I feel alive, I feel so free
The simple things mean everything to me

[Bridge]
Now I see the blessings in the mess
The messy joy, the sweet unrest
The little hands, the muddy feet
They bring me joy no post could beat

[Chorus]
It’s the simple things that make me whole
Like a child’s laugh or a heart-felt goal
Not a screen or a stream, just love on display
Watching the world in a natural way
I feel alive, I feel so free
The simple things mean everything to me

[Outro]
So I’ll stay here where the real things grow
With wagging tails and hearts that glow
Turn off the noise, and just be me
In the moment, wild and free

The Simple Things

About trying not to complicate or over think things....today it would probably be called "mindfullness" ... although  "carpe diem" says it better :)
