Lyrics On Friday

Starting to get back into the hang of our weekly ‘Lyrics On Friday’ share after a few weeks without it… This week I’ve been listening to The Fray’s latest album, and it is rocking my socks. There are a couple of amazing tracks on it (You Found Me, Absolute), but Never Say Never is my favourite track so far.

There’s some things we don’t talk about
Rather do without
And just hold the smile
Falling in and out of love
Ashamed and proud of
Together all the while

You can never say never
Why we dont know when
Time and time again
Younger now than we were before

Don’t let me go
Don’t let me go
Don’t let me go

Picture you’re the queen of everything
As far as the eye can see
Under your command
I will be your guardian
When all is crumbling
Steady your hand

You can never say never
Why we dont know when
Time, time and time again
Younger now then we were before

Don’t let me go
Don’t let me go
Don’t let me go

We’re pulling apart and coming together again and again
We’re growing apart but we pull it together, pull it together, together again

Don’t let me go
Don’t let me go
Don’t let me go

[Never Say Never – The Fray]

What’s been running through your head this week?

Geeky Tech Update

Wanted to share a couple of piece of software I’ve begun using recently that are rocking my socks…

Spotify is an ingenuis program for listening to music, sharing your favourite music, and so on. You can stream from a massive library of music – I was able to preview the new U2 album last week, and have been listing to Kings Of Leon and the Fray this week. Definitely worth checking out, has a free option and a couple of paid subscriptions.

Twhirl is a ‘social software desktop client’, which I’m using for Twitter. Not only can you use it to track your tweets & those of people you follow, you can look up other user’s profiles, search public tweets, and so on. Best of all: it’s free! Really enjoying it at the minute, it’s adding a whole new dimension to my tweeting.

So there you go! A little geekery for your day!

People

“You’ll need more than us. You’ll need more and better. You’ll need other people. You’ll need people to help you process, people to help you let go, people to help you remember what’s true and people to help you forget what’s lies. You’ll need the stories and advice of people with gray hair or white hair or no hair at all. Don’t buy the lie that suggests they have nothing to offer or nothing to say – they were young once too. They are stories still going and they’ve seen the places you will go. They’ve been stuck at times as well, just like you and me and everyone.

You’ll need coffee shops and sunsets and road trips. Airplanes and passports and new songs and old songs, but people more than anything else. You will need other people and you will need to be that other person to someone else, a living breathing screaming invitation to believe better things.”

[TWLOHA]

What do I need to forget/ remember/ let go?

Can we be that people for each other?

Your shout.
