India Arie




Lyrics:

Life is a journey,
Not a destination,
There are no mistakes,
Just chances weve taken
Lay down your regrets cause all we have is now

Wake up in the morning
And get out of bed
Start making a mental list in my head
Of all of the things that I am grateful for

Early in the morning
Its the dawn of a new day
New hopes new dreams new ways
I open up my eyes and
I open up my mind and
I wonder how life will surprise me today
Early in the morning
Its the dawn of a new day
New hopes new dreams new ways
I open up my heart and
Im gon do my part and
Make this a positively beautiful day

La la la la la la la la la (x3)
Its a Beautiful Day (x3)

Life is a challenge not a competition
You can still smell the roses and be on a mission
Just take a moment to get in touch with your heart
Sometimes you feel like youve got something to prove
Remind yourself that theres only one you
Just take a moment to give thanks of who you are

Early in the morning
Its the dawn of a new day
New hopes, new dreams, new ways
I open up my eyes and
I open up my mind and
I wonder how life will surprise me today

Early in the morning
Its the dawn of a new day
New hopes, new dreams, new ways
I open up my heart and
Im gon do my part and
Make this a positively beautiful day

La la la la la la la la la (x3)
Its a Beautiful Day (x2)

Lets make this a wonderful
Lets make this a powerful
Lets make this a Beautiful Day
Its a Beautiful Day

Life is a journey,
Not a destination,
There are no mistakes,
Just chances weve taken
Lay down your regrets cause all we have is now



India Arie is a true gem in today's music industry. She is ALL about her music not about selling an image. Her music reaches people on a personal level.

Natalie Merchant...

This great singer is about her music and her powerful lyrics. Nothing to do with selling a body image or singing crap commercial music just to sell records.


Life Is Sweet is a beautiful song, with a powerful message.




Its a pity, its a crying shame
He pulled you down again
How painful it must be
To bruise so easily
Inside

Its a pity, its a downright crime
It happens all the time
You wanna stay little daddys girl
You wanna hide from the viscous world...
Outside

Dont cry, you know the tears will do no good
So dry your eyes
Your daddy, hes the iron man
Battle ship wrecked on dry land
Your mamma, shes a bitter bride
Shell never be satisfied
You know, and thats not right

But dont cry
You know the tears will do no good
So dry your eyes
They told you life is hard
Misery from the start, its dull
Its slow, its painful
But I tell you life is sweet
In spite of the misery
Theres so much more, be grateful
Well, who do you believe
Who will you listen to, who will it be
Because its high time that you decide
In your own mind

Ive tried to comfort you
I tried to tell you to be patient
That they are blind and they cant see
Fortune gonna come one day
It all gonna fade away
Your daddy the war machine
And your momma the long and suffering
Prisoner of what she can not see

For they told you life is hard
Misery from the start, its dull,
Its slow, its painful
But I tell you life is sweet
In spite of the misery
Theres so much more, be grateful
So who will you believe
Who will you listen to
Who will it be
Because its high time that you decide
Its time to make up your own
Your own state of mind

They told you life is long
Be thankful when its done
Dont ask for more, be grateful
But I tell you life is short
Be thankful, because before you know it
It will be over
Because life is sweet
Life is all so very short
Life is sweet
And life is all so very short
Life is sweet
Life is sweet

70's Music...

Somewhere for me in the 90's music started loosing quality and substance. Nowadays is about looking good and selling records, who gives a crap about talent. Only a few artist of today I consider talented; Ben Harper, Imogen Heap and a few others.

Boston and Lynyrd Skynyrd were great 70's bands. Their music had something that most songs of today lack; SUBSTANCE AND MEANING!

Peace of Mind by Boston




Simple Man by Lynyrd Skynyrd

Escucha a Tu Corazón - Laura Pausini

Una cancion muy hermosa interpretada por la bella cantante italiana Laura Pausini. Que significado cobra esta cancion ahora en estos momentos de mi vida.


¡Qué! ahora cómo está
plantada por tu historia acabada,
y de frente a ti,
la enorme cuesta arriba.
Tu sientes algo sola,
sin nadie que se siente a escucharte,
que comprenda tu situación.
No te debes de rendir.Y sigue siendo tú
persigue tu destino,
pues todo ese dolor que está dentro
nunca debe interferir en tu camino.
Descubrirás así
que tu historia toda y cada minuto
pertenecen tan solo a ti.
Mas si te has quedado tú
navegando sin razones
en el mar de tus porqués.Mira en ti, escucha el silencio,
tu corazón te soplará las palabras,
mira dentro de ti misma y entonces
prueba si alcanzas donde te lleva tu alma.Es difícil decidirse
qué es lo correcto, qué debe hacerse,
se si tiene la cabeza en otra parte.
Tu orgullo que te atrapa,
las noches que el dolor te destapa
todo tu miedo a equivocarte.
Si te vuelves a sentir
persiguiendo las estrellas,
nunca debes renunciar.Cree en ti, escucha en silencio,
tu corazón te curará las heridas,
mira dentro de ti misma y entonces
prueba a volar donde el dolor no te siga.No te engañaras, si escucha atenta,
abre los brazos y es posible que toques
cada mano, cada sueño que quieras tener,
cada uno de nosotros te espera con su
corazón.Cada vez que dudas y que no sales,
prueba a escucharle, tu corazón sí que sabe.
Tú, tú prueba a escucharle,
tu, tu, tu corazón si que sabe,
tu, tu, tu, corazón si que sabe

La Vida es Bella!!







Muertes como la de Michael Jackson y Patrick Swayze me hacen recordar dos cosas muy importantes; que la vida es muy corta y que pese a este mundo agitado que habitamos vale la pena vivirla porque es BELLA!!

Mi logro mas grande aun esta por verce, el ser MADRE!! No obtener grados distinguidos (aunque esto es importante para mi tambien) sino sobretodo tener la gran dicha de ser mama un dia no muy lejano.
