Wash Away

I got troubles oh, but not today
Cause they’re gonna wash away
They’re gonna wash away

And I have sins Lord, but not today
Cause they’re gonna wash away
They’re gonna wash away

And I had friends oh, but not today
Cause they’re done washed away
They’re done washed away

And oh, I’ve been cryin’
And oh, I’ve been cryin’
And oh, no more cryin’
No, no more cryin’ here

We get along Lord, but not today
Cause we gonna wash away
We gonna wash away

And I got troubles oh, but not today
Cause they gonna wash away
This old heart gonna take them away

- Joe Purdy

This song I first heard on LOST in the episode “Tabula Rasa”. It was in the first season when Hurley is listening to music on his cd player, and I think it was when everyone was moving from the beach into the caves. It’s been a while since I saw the first season, but it was definitely in “Tabula Rasa”. Every so often I get the urge to re-watch LOST, but I know it's a huge time investment and I just haven't been able to commit to watch all six seasons again. Maybe one day.

Time Bomb

(Tick Tock Tick Tock)

Verse 1:
Come to me the moon is closer
Then your eyes (then your eyes)
I can barley see through the cracks that shines out my scars
Sirens scream in vein
I have already died a million times inside

Chorus:
I surrender
Shoot me down
No bullet could
Stop me now

My love does not depend
On anyone or anything
It will never die

Verse 2:
Ticking like a time bomb
Soon to blow away
I am not you
You are not me
It still plays
I could say i love you
If only for a day
amongst this sunken ship
I am drowning in

Chorus:
I surrender
Shoot me down
No bullet could
Stop me now

My love does not depend
On anyone or anything
It will never die

Ticking like a time bomb
Ticking like a time bomb
Ticking like a time bomb
Ticking like a time bomb

Chorus:
I surrender
Shoot me down
No bullet could
Stop me now

My love does not depend
On anyone or anything
It will never die

Tick Tock Tick Tock
Tick Tock Tick Tock

Another great song from Burn Notice. This is from the Season 2 finale, when Michael tells Management, “I’ll take my chances” without Management’s protection against whatever evils and enemies Michael has hiding out in the world.

“As a spy working for a government, you’re protected. You may work solo but you have agreements with other spy agencies. Even when you’re surrounded by your enemies, that protects you. When your entire career consists of making enemies, there’s no greater danger than being totally cut off. Alone. When you find yourself out in the cold, all you can do is put your head down and try to survive.”

- Michael Westen

Your Call

Waiting for your call, I’m sick, call I’m angry
call I’m desperate for your voice
Listening to the song we used to sing
In the car, do you remember
Butterfly, Early Summer
It’s playing on repeat, Just like when we would meet
Like when we would meet

Cause I was born to tell you I love you
and I am torn to do what I have to, to make you mine
Stay with me tonight

Stripped and polished, I am new, I am fresh
I am feeling so ambitious, you and me, flesh to flesh
Cause every breath that you will take
when you are sitting next to me
will bring life into my deepest hopes, What’s your fantasy?
(What’s your, what’s your, what’s your…)

Cause I was born to tell you I love you
and I am torn to do what I have to, to make you mine
Stay with me tonight

And I’m tired of being all alone, and this solitary moment makes me want to come back home
And I’m tired of being all alone, and this solitary moment makes me want to come back home

And I’m tired of being all alone, and this solitary moment makes me want to come back home

And I’m tired of being all alone, and this solitary moment makes me want to come back home
(I know everything you wanted isn’t anything you have)

Cause I was born to tell you I love you
and I am torn to do what I have to, to make you mine
Stay with me tonight

Cause I was born to tell you I love you
and I am torn to do what I have to, to make you mine
Stay with me tonight
(I know everything you wanted isn’t anything you have)

Voodoo Child

you’re like voodoo baby,
you just take hold.
put your cards on the table baby,
do i twist do i fold?

you’re like voodoo honey
all silver and gold?
why don’t you tell me my future?
why don’t i sell you my soul.

so here it comes – the sound of drums.
here comes the drums, here comes the drums ?

baby, baby, baby!
you are my voodoo child – my voodoo child

don’t say maybe, maybe
it’s supernatural – i’m coming undone?

you’re like voodoo baby,
your kisses are cold!
feel your poison running through me?
let me never grow old.

you’re like voodoo honey,
my pictures you stole?
you play me like a puppet.
sticking pins in a doll!

so here it comes – the sound of drums.
here comes the drums, here comes the drums ?

baby, baby, baby!
you are my voodoo child – my voodoo child

don’t say maybe, maybe
it’s supernatural – i’m coming undone?

(repeat)

I heard this song in Doctor Who, series 3. Made me smile considering how well the lyrics fit to the story so thought I'd put it up just for fun.

Quote of the Week: Doctor Who

"The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and... bad things. The good things don't always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don't necessarily spoil the good things or make them unimportant."

- The Doctor

Vincent and the Doctor

Why Should I Worry?

One minute I'm in Central Park
Then I'm down on Delancey Street
From the Bow'ry to St Marks
There's a syncopated beat

Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo
I'm streetwise
I can improvise
Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo
I'm streetsmart
I've got New York City heart

Why should I worry?
Why should I care?
I may not have a dime
But I got street savoire faire
Why should I worry?

Why should I care?
It's just bebopulation
And I got street saviore faire

The rhythm of the city
But once you get it down
Then you can own this town
You can wear the crown

Why should I worry?
Why should I care?
I may not have a dime
But I got street savoire faire
Why should I worry?
Why should I care?
It's just bebopulation
And I got street saviore faire

Ev'rything goes
Ev'rything fits
They love me at the Chelsea
They adore me at the Ritz

Why should I worry?
Why should I care?
And even when I cross that line
I got street savoire faire

Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo

If you haven't seen the Disney movie "Oliver and Company" then I highly suggest you go watch it. It's a classic and one of my favorites. If you have, then go watch it again. It's worth it.

More Beaded Bracelets

I've been busy making plenty of bracelets. It's so much fun to make them that I'll probably keep making them even if I don't sell a single one. Anyway, here are some more that I've made that are now included in the most recent version of the product page.
