ROBBIE WILLIAMS LYRICS
"Every Time We Say Goodbye"
Everytime we say goodbye
I die a little
Everytime we say goodbye
I wonder why a little
Why the gods above me
Who must be in the know
Think so little of me
They allow you to go
When you're near
There's such an air
Of spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere
Begin to sing about it
There's no love song finer
But how strange the change
From major to minor
Everytime we say goodbye
There's no love song finer
But how strange the change
From major to minor
Everytime we say goodbye
What's the Use of Wonderin'
What's the use of wonderin'
if he's good or if he's bad
or if you like the way he wears his hat?
What's the use of wonderin
if he's good or if he's bad:
He's your feller and you love him,
that's all there is to that.
Common sense may tell you
that the ending will be sad
and now's the time to break and run away;
what's the use of wonderin
if the ending will be sad;
he's your feller and you love him
there's nothing more to say.
Something
made him the way that he is,
whether he's false or true.
And something
gave him the things that are his,
One of those things is you--
So if he wants your ksses
you'll give them to the lad,
and anywhere he leads you, you will walk,
and any time he needs you
you'll go runnin' there like mad;
he's your feller and you love him
and all the rest in talk.
-"Carousel,"--Rodgers and Hammerstein, 1945
Marina:
There are so many, in all types of music,
but some that really made me think of Ennis and Jack are:
1. "What Hurts The Most" by Rascal Flatts (Ennis' regrets)
2. "A Thousand Miles From Nowhere" by Dwight Yoakam (when E turns J away after the divorce and J goes to Mexico)
3. "My Old Friend" by Tim McGraw (Ennis thinking back on his relationship with Jack years later)
4. "Settle for a Slowdown" by Dierks Bentley (when E&J part ways after that first summer on Brokeback)
5. "To Be With You" the Mavericks (reminds me of the first postcard from Jack)

Bad Company: "Feel Like Makin' Love"
Baby, when I think about you
I think about love
Darlin, dont live without you
And your love
If I had those golden dreams
Of my yesterdays
I would wrap you in the heaven
till Im dyin on the way
Feel like makin
Feel like makin love
Feel like makin love to you
Baby, if I think about you
I think about love
Darlin if I live without you
I live without love
If I had the sun and moon
I would give you both night and day
Of satisfyn
Feel like makin
Feel like makinlove
Feel like makin love to you
And if I had those golden dreams
Of my yesterdays
I would wrap you in the heaven
til Im dyin on the way
Feel like makin love
Feel like makin love
(repeat many times)
Feel like makin love to you

Being a professional singer, this time of year means that I do plenty
of running around to take advantage of the opportunities to sing for
pay. There are parties, concerts, caroling through streets and malls,
and of course church services. It can easily become drudgery, and feel
too much like work--you know: “another day, another dollar.” And that
feeling can creep in and sometimes take the joy out of the season and
spoil Christmas. It even happens to me sometimes, but I try to stay
connected to the messages and sentiments of the text and music that I
sing. There is a great deal of meaning to be found in Christmas music.
There is one number that sticks out from among the stack of music that
I have to sing this Christmas. From the very first time I sang through
it, I thought of Ennis spending that first Christmas alone after Jack
had left this world. I also thought about the amazing comfort that
having faith can offer in a time of sadness and pain. Below are the
lyrics and a link to video of the song being performed by a college choir.
CAROL OF JOY
Lyrics by Eileen Berry
Music by Dan Forrest
Green leaves are fallen, withered and dry;
Brief sunset fading, dim winter sky;
Lengthening shadows, dark closing in;
Then through the stillness, carols begin.
O fallen world, to you is the song!
Death holds you fast, and night tarries long.
Jesus is born, your curse to destroy;
Sweet to your ears, a carol of joy!
Pale moon ascending, solemn and slow;
Cold, barren hillside shrouded in snow.
Deep empty valley, veiled by the night;
Hear angel music,
Hear angels hopeful and bright.
O fearful world, to you is the song!
Peace with your God, and pardon for wrong.
Tidings for sinners, burdened and bound,
A carol of joy, a Savior is found!
Earth wrapped in sorrow, lift up your eyes,
Thrill to the chorus filling the skies.
Look up sad-hearted!
Witness God’s love;
Join in the carol swelling above!
O friendless world, to you is the song!
All heaven’s joy to you may belong!
You who are lonely, laden, forlorn;
O fallen world,
O fearful world,
O friendless world,
Now unto you a Savior is born!
Wishing you all a joyous Christmas and a prosperous New Year!!

That is a beautiful song, milo.... Thank you for sharing it with us! This song reminds me that maybe Jesus was gay...That is not such a far fetched idea. In native American cultures, gay people were venerated for their unique outlook, and they were thought to be a blending of the feminine and the masculine. Jesus had the best qualities of both worlds as well.
