Happy Sunday one and all, I hope that you’ve had a great week :O) The day for sharing music and connecting with new blogging friends is once more upon us and Easter ready Jim Adams has, once again provided us with our prompt which this week is: Freeze/Cold/Ice. If you love music and would like to play along, here are some rules for you:
- Post the lyrics to the song of your choice, whether it fits the theme or not.
- Please try to include the songwriter(s) – it’s a good idea to give credit where credit is due.
- Make sure you also credit the singer/band and if you desire you can provide a link to where you found the lyrics.
- Link to the YouTube video, or pull it into your post so others can listen to the song.
- Ping back to this post will eventually work, as long as you are being patient, but you can also place your link in the comments if you don’t like to wait.
- Read at least one other person’s blog, so we can all share new and fantastic music and create amazing new blogging friends in the process.
- Feel free to suggest future prompts.
- Have fun and enjoy the music.
This is my choice for this week and it’s from James Blunt:
Shed the clothes that become my skin;
See the liar that burns within my needing.
How I wish I’d chosen darkness from cold.
How I wish I had screamed out loud,
Instead I’ve found no meaning.
All pleasure’s the same: it just keeps me from trouble.
Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray.
I’ve heard what they say, but I’m not here for trouble.
It’s more than just words: it’s just tears and rain.
Hold memory close at hand,
Help me understand the years.
How I wish I could choose between Heaven and Hell.
How I wish I would save my soul.
I’m so cold from fear.
All pleasure’s the same: it just keeps me from trouble.
Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray.
I’ve heard what they say, but I’m not here for trouble.
Far, far away; find comfort in pain.
It’s more than just words: it’s just tears and rain…
“I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.”
All of us, our lives, will one day be lost in time. There will be no-one alive who has any memory of us and, unless we do something that will change the world, it will be as though we had never existed. We are, in the grand scheme of things, as insignificant as a lone leaf in a thousand forests and yet…..and yet….our lives are so very precious.
Today is my wedding anniversary, I would have been married for 15 years if my husband had not been taken from me 5 years ago. Today is cold and cloudy and it may rain later; if it does I shall do my crying then.

the Bladerunner bit is something I always come back. It sums up so much. Life is bittersweet, my grandad always said. The sadness never leaves, but after a while good memories also come back.

Pretty good for contemporary music. That scene from Blade Runner is one of the best scenes in any movie ever. Poetic and heart wrenching.
