Heard this one on the radio on my way home from work today, and certain lines really struck me.  I realize it's about John Lennon, but it applies.

Empty Garden ~ Elton John

What happened here,
As the New York sunset disappeared?
I found an empty garden among the flagstones there.
Who lived here?
He must have been a gardener that cared a lot,
Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop.
And now it all looks strange.
It's funny how one insect can damage so much grain.

And what's it for,
This little empty garden by the brownstone door?
And in the cracks along the sidewalk nothing grows no more.
Who lived here?
He must have been a gardener that cared a lot,
Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop.
And we are so amazed! We're crippled and we're dazed....
A gardener like that one, no one can replace.

And I've been knocking, but no one answers.
And I've been knocking, most all the day.
Oh and I've been calling, oh hey, hey, Johnny!
Can't you come out to play?

And through their tears,
Some say he farmed his best in younger years.
But he'd have said that roots grow stronger, if only he could hear.
Who lived there?
He must have been a gardener that cared a lot,
Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop.
Now we pray for rain, and with every drop that falls
We hear, we hear your name.

And I've been knocking, but no one answers.
And I've been knocking, most all the day.
Oh, and I've been calling, oh hey, hey, Johnny!
Can't you come out to play,
In your empty garden?
Johnny?
Can't you come out to play, in your empty garden?

"Is This The End"-Creed

Lately, I've been hearing one my favorite rock bands that unfortunately no longer together, Creed. I was listening to their song, "Is This The End", which is from the Scream 3 soundtrack and the song is very emotionally moving. This song and "One Last Breath" moves me. It makes me think about Heath. It makes me sad when I think about him when I listen to this song, but happy because he's free from all the sufferings of the world. The song also makes me think about Jake and how he's feeling. This song makes think of how each of them must've felt and their friendship.  :(  It chokes me up to think how it must've been for them.


The rage in my eyes
Could have compared to the eye of a sun
Then rain
Took its course through the hands of the Son

Repent for all time
The world is at war leaving all fault behind

So, is this the end for us my friend?
So, is this the end for us my friend?

The stains in the sky
Are there to remind us of man and his fight
When two worlds collide
One steals the life like a thief in the night
So to the sky
He holds the keys to your life and mine

So, is this the end for us my friend?
So, is this the end for us my friend?
So, is this the end for us my friend?

Well as though we rise
As the day breaks the dawn
As the moon hides the sun
Oh, the sun

No more sorrow
All those crying days are gone
No more sorrow, now it's gone
Now it's gone
Now it's gone

So, is this the end for us my friend?

So, is this the end for us my friend?
So, is this the end for us my friend?
So, is this the end for us my friend?

So, is this the end for us my friend?

I love Creed and this song, too, Gabreya.  One Last Breath used to remind me mostly of my own battle with depression that damn near killed me, and now it makes me think of Heath, instead.  :(

One Last Breath

Please come now I think I'm falling
I'm holding to all I think is safe
It seems I found the road to nowhere
And I'm trying to escape
I yelled back when I heard thunder
But I'm down to one last breath
And with it let me say
Let me say

Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
That maybe six feet
Ain't so far down

I'm looking down now that it's over
Reflecting on all of my mistakes
I thought I found the road to somewhere
Somewhere in His grace
I cried out "Heaven save me"
But I'm down to one last breath
And with it let me say
Let me say

Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
That maybe six feet
Ain't so far down

Sad eyes follow me
But I still believe there's something left for me
So please come stay with me
'Cause I still believe there's something left for you and me
For you and me
For you and me

Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking...

No more beans!

Hello, ednbarby. That's another good song from Creed. I'm glad you'd beat your depression. And I understand how it makes you think about Heath.
You know what's crazy? I get sad everytime I listen to either of their songs because they've broken up. They were one of the greatest bands ever! :(

"I Must Be Dreaming" by Evanescence seems to say it all about how I feel most of the time. Ever since Heath had passed, I'd feel like I'm wallowing in depression for nothing as if I'm stuck in a horrible dream. Like everyone else, I feel like I'm stuck in an endless nightmare where Heath is just gone forever and never coming back.
This song is definetly how I feel. :(


How can I pretend
that I don't see
What you hide so carelessly?
I saw her bleed
You heard me breathe
And I froze inside myself
And turned away
I must be dreaming

We all live
We all die
That does not begin to justify you

It's not what it seems
Not what you think
No, I must be dreaming
It's only in my mind
Not in real life
No, I must be dreaming


Have to know,
I've got to tell someone
Tell them what I
know you've done
I fear you
But spoken fears
fears can come true

We all live
We all die
That does not begin to justify you

It's not what it seems
Not what you think
No, I must be dreaming
It's only in my mind
Not in real life
No, I must be dreaming


We all live
We all die
That does not begin justify you

It's not what it seems
Not what you think
No, I must be dreaming
It's only in my mind
Not in real life
No, I must be dreaming

(fading)
Not what it seems
Not what you think
I must be dreaming
Lost in my mind
Not in real life
I must be dreaming




Btw, I love Evanescence.
