Who's reading the_infernal_optimist (194):
Infernal's all-week request line, right here!

The object is to dedicate a song, any song you like, to another SCer (though I suppose you could do your spouse/SO or kid(s) if you wish).

(I'm curious as to what we'll come up with, and also looking for music I might not have heard before, tbh.) YouTube isn't necessary, though you can do it that way if you want. It's fine to just share the title and artist.

I can think of quite a few to do, but I'll hold off until later. Have fun! :)

    New Attitude
    Patti LaBelle

    "I'm feelin' good from my head to my shoes
    Know where I'm goin' and I know what to do
    I tidied up my point of view
    I got a new attitude"

    got a new attitude

    For GrapeKoolAid, it was Avril's "I don't like your girlfriend" but now it is "You'll never walk alone" by Judy Garland (or Johnny Cash or Liverpool fans - take your pick)
  • jadestar said on Jul 17, 2007....
    here are the words, grape:
     

    When you walk through a storm
    hold your head up high
    And don't be afraid of the dark.
    At the end of a storm is a golden sky

    And the sweet silver song of a lark.
    Walk on through the wind,
    Walk on through the rain,
    Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown.

    Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
    And you'll never walk alone,
    You'll never, ever walk alone.
    Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart

    And you'll never walk alone,
    You'll never, ever walk alone

  • jadestar said on Jul 17, 2007....
    For skald: Frank Sinatra's "Young at Heart" (cos she's young at heart)
     
    "Dont you know that its worth every treasure on earth
    To be young at heart
    For as rich as you are its much better by far
    To be young at heart

    And if you should survive to 105
    Look at all youll derive out of being alive
    Then here is the best part
    You have a head start
    If you are among the very young at heart"
     
    sorry, I'm monopolising your site, infernal
  • jadestar said on Jul 17, 2007....
    oh infernal, don't be angry - they just keep coming
     
    I did a post 'where in the world are you' & secretlife told me about kids she could hear paying in the park, so for her it's Neil Diamond's "What a beautiful noise"
     
    What a beautiful noise
    Comin' up from the street
    Got a beautiful sound
    It's got a beautiful beat
     
    It's a beautiful noise
    Made of joy and of strife
    Like a symphony played
    By the passing parade
    It's the music of life

     

    What a beautiful noise
    Comin' into my room
    And it's beggin' for me
    Just to give it a tune

  • silverwhisper said on Jul 17, 2007....

  • the_infernal_optimist said on Jul 17, 2007....

    "When you walk down the road
    Heavy burden, heavy load
    I will rise
    And I will walk with you..."

    (yeah, that's the theme song to Touched by an Angel)

    For nytquill17: "The Sky and the Dawn and the Sun" by Celtic Woman

    For Polar (two for you):
     
    1.) Pressing On - Bob Dylan
     
    "Well Im pressing on
    Yes, Im pressing on
    Well Im pressing on
    To the higher calling of my lord.

    Many try to stop me, shake me up in my mind,
    Say, prove to me that he is lord, show me a sign.
    What kind of sign they need when it all come from within,
    When whats lost has been found, whats to come has already been?

    Well Im pressing on
    Yes, Im pressing on
    Well Im pressing on
    To the higher calling of my lord."
     
    2.) I am somebody - Santana (just the chorus, mind)

     

    "Live your life and just be your self cause you're somebody special cause somebody loves ya
    Your life so just be your self cause your somebody special cause somebody loves ya
    Someone loves your life, life, hey hey I can see you shining shining I can see you shining With light light hey hey I can see you shining shining I can see you shining bright"

    this one's for missmimi...

    "Breakaway" by kelly clarkson

    Grew up in a small town
    And when the rain would fall down
    I'd just stare out my window
    Dreaming of what could be
    And if I'd end up happy
    I would pray (I would pray)

    Trying hard to reach out
    But when I tried to speak out
    Felt like no one could hear me
    Wanted to belong here
    But something felt so wrong here
    So I prayed I could break away

    [Chorus:]
    I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
    I'll do what it takes til' I touch the sky
    And I'll make a wish
    Take a chance
    Make a change
    And breakaway
    Out of the darkness and into the sun
    But I won't forget all the ones that I love
    I'll take a risk
    Take a chance
    Make a change
    And breakaway

    Wanna feel the warm breeze
    Sleep under a palm tree
    Feel the rush of the ocean
    Get onboard a fast train
    Travel on a jet plane, far away (I will)
    And breakaway

    [Chorus]

    Buildings with a hundred floors
    Swinging around revolving doors
    Maybe I don't know where they'll take me but
    Gotta keep moving on, moving on
    Fly away, breakaway

    I'll spread my wings
    And I'll learn how to fly
    Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye
    I gotta take a risk
    Take a chance
    Make a change
    And breakaway
    Out of the darkness and into the sun
    But I won't forget the place I come from
    I gotta take a risk
    Take a chance
    Make a change
    And breakaway, breakaway, breakaway

    love ya, Mamie

  • MissMimi said on Jul 17, 2007....

    This is for all my SoulCast friends who lent an ear and a shoulder when I needed it.

    He Ain't Heavy-- He's My Brother

    The road is long
    With many a winding turn
    That leads us to who knows where
    Who knows where

    But I'm strong
    Strong enough to carry him
    He ain't heavy, he's my brother

    So on we go
    His welfare is of my concern
    No burden is he, to bear
    We'll get there
    For I know
    He would not encumber me
    He ain't heavy, he's my brother

    If I'm laden at all
    I'm laden with sadness
    That everyone's heart
    Isn't filled with the gladness
    Of love for one another

    It's a long, long road
    From which there is no return
    While we're on our way to there
    Why not share

    And the load
    Doesn't weigh me down at all
    He ain't heavy, he's my brother
    He ain't heavy, he's my brother

    for rumuxagirl, jenna, polar and missmimi


  • Zayda said on Jul 17, 2007....
    to mr. z., who is here on SC:
  • rmuxagirl said on Jul 17, 2007....
    awe thank Zayda and infernal for thinking of me.  Zayda I love the song, I never heard it before, but love it.

    my dedication is for secret: "Lean On Me"
  • the_infernal_optimist said on Jul 17, 2007....
    Oooh, got one for hotaka: Garth Brooks, "Standing Outside the Fire." ;-)

    "We call them cool
    Those hearts that have no scars to show
    The ones that never do let go
    And risk the tables being turned

    We call them fools
    Who have to dance within the flame
    Who chance the sorrow and the shame
    That always comes with getting burned

    But you've got to be tough when consumed by desire
    'Cause it's not enough just to stand outside the fire

    We call them strong
    Those who can face this world alone
    Who seem to get by on their own
    Those who will never take the fall

    We call them weak
    Who are unable to resist
    The slightest chance love might exist
    And for that forsake it all

    They're so hell-bent on giving ,walking a wire
    Convinced it's not living if you stand outside the fire

    Standing outside the fire
    Standing outside the fire
    Life is not tried, it is merely survived
    If you're standing outside the fire

    There's this love that is burning
    Deep in my soul
    Constantly yearning to get out of control
    Wanting to fly higher and higher
    I can't abide
    Standing outside the fire

    Standing outside the fire
    Standing outside the fire
    Life is not tried, it is merely survived
    If you're standing outside the fire..."
