Grace Is Gone - Dave Matthews

Posted by Atish in ,

The song which made me come back to listening to Dave Matthews again. Courtesy my friend's YouTube playlist.

Excuse me please one more drink
Could you make it strong cause I don’t need to think
She broke my heart my Grace is gone
One more drink and I’ll move on
One more drink and I’ll be gone

Acoustic guitar duets dont get more melodious than this. One of my favorite Dave Matthews songs. And this version is special.

Times Like These - Farryl Purkiss

Posted by Atish in

Very different but the acoustic guitar riffs in this are terrific and wonderfully melodious.

And again, the lyrics need some doing!

Times Like These

Lyrics
[]

yes indeed im waiting for
times like these
you and me layin on a floor
on times like these

what on earth is worth livin for
but times like these
as i turn to you and ask in vain

but still you dont say

a moment please is all i ask from you
to stake my case
as i lean in ever close to kiss your face
i've seen a thousand times we have replayed all this what ....
still i turn to you and ask in vain

but still you dont say

love alone will never save us
this wicked life might never leave us
take it down to peter's lounge
and wait around till familiar sound of
penny drops on ....
gonna go straight down to live a life.............

and you dont say



Better Days - Farryl Purkiss

Posted by Atish in ,

Around the same time last year, I had listened to this song. And it had really moved me. I don't know why I didn't put it here. May be because the blog itself did not exist back then. A lot has changed since then. Better days are indeed here. But I still love this one

Better Days

I didn't find the lyrics anywhere so tried to listen to the song and write it down. A couple of words still beat me. If you are able to follow, please let me know.

Lyrics

thinkin of times and of places that felt so real
yesterday
holdin on tight
feelin alright thinkin of
yesterday
and even though i never said it to you
im waitin in line to give it to you
and even though i never got it from you
im still wasting my time tyrin to give it to you

still i try
to hold on for better days
so let it slide

still i pray
prayin for better days
so let it slide down and down and down and down

today .. today .. today im gonna fade away

standing on my own two feet
walking on what i feel is
solid ground
........ another man's
dreams just until i find my own
way home from here

isnt it strange
that as we grow old we tend to walk away from
a little less pain
to something that's easier to fit into our frame

still i try
to hold on for better days
so let it slide

still i pray
praying for better days
so let it slide down and down and down and down

today .. today .. today im gonna fade away
