ATF: Timely Tunes

This series will include as many of my all-time favorite (ATF) tunes as I can get my grubby little hands on (so to speak).  Now, each one included in each edition will have some connection with the other—albeit only as a figment of my imagination, but they will not be numbered.  For I just cannot bring myself to rate some higher than others.  So, this will not be a countdown, but if you are enjoying them as much as I do, it won’t matter.  Besides, with no countdown, this could go on forever and ever!  Oh, and despite the fact that there is absolutely no way your musical tastes could be as exquisite as mine, I welcome any suggestions you might dare to make.  For I am, after all, quite magnanimous by nature.

I’m in a Hurry

Alabama

I’m in a hurry

To get things done

Oh I

Rush and rush

Until life’s no fun

All I really gotta do is

Live and die

But I’m in a hurry

And don’t know why

Don’t know why

I have to drive so fast

My car has nothing to prove

It’s not new

But it’ll do zero to sixty

In five point two

Oh

I’m in a hurry

To get things done

Oh I

Rush and rush

Until life’s no fun

All I really gotta do is

Live and die

But I’m in a hurry

And don’t know why

Can’t be late

I leave in plenty of time

Shakin’ hands with the clock

I can’t stop

I’m on a roll

And I’m ready to rock

Oh

I’m in a hurry

To get things done

Oh I

Rush and rush

Until life’s no fun

All I really gotta do is

Live and die

But I’m in a hurry

And don’t know why

Oh I hear a voice

That says I’m runnin’ behind

I better pick up my pace

It’s a race

And there ain’t

No room for someone in second place

I’m in a hurry

To get things done

I rush and rush

Until life’s no fun

All I really gotta do is

Live and die

But I’m in a hurry

And don’t know why

I’m in a hurry

To get things done

Oh I

Rush and rush

Until life’s no fun

All I really gotta do is

Live and die

But I’m in a hurry

And don’t know why

I’m in a hurry

To get things done

Oh I

Rush and rush

Until life’s no fun

All I really gotta do is

Live and die

But I’m in a hurry

And don’t know why

I’m in a hurry

To get things done

Oh I

Rush and rush

Until life’s no fun

All I really gotta do is

Live and die

But I’m in a hurry

And don’t know why

A Sunday Drive

Back during our childhood, our parents would often load up my brother and me after Sunday morning church services for a leisurely drive around where we lived.  Even though we were seeing mostly familiar sights, it was still good to see them again, and this is why “A Sunday Drive” sounded about right for the name of a series revisiting familiar sites that are well worth seeing again and again.  The link below the image is to the site itself, and the image is linked to the post it was first included in here.

Sites To See #446

The SOLE purpose of this series is to help call attention to sites that I think many would find most interesting—in one way or another.  Just to be clear, inclusion in this series is not necessarily meant as an endorsement, and I have included sites that I found rather disturbing.  The link below each image is to the site itself, and each image is linked to the particular post from which it was taken when applicable.  Please, go see for yourself.  Oh, and as of August 10, 2012, I will be no longer including sites that have auto-play and word verification engaged.

Total Eclipse of the Heart

Bonnie Tyler

Turn around

Every now and then I get a little bit lonely

And you're never coming round

Turn around

Every now and then I get a little bit tired

Of listening to the sound of my tears

Turn around

Every now and then I get a little bit nervous

That the best of all the years have gone by

Turn around

Every now and then I get a little bit terrified

And then I see the look in your eyes

Turn around

Bright eyes

Every now and then I fall apart

Turn around

Bright eyes

Every now and then I fall apart

Turn around

Every now and then I get a little bit restless

And I dream of something wild

Turn around

Every now and then I get a little bit helpless

And I'm lying like a child in your arms

Turn around

Every now and then I get a little bit angry

And I know I've got to get out and cry

Turn around

Every now and then I get a little bit terrified

But then I see the look in your eyes

Turn around

Bright eyes

Every now and then I fall apart

Turn around

Bright eyes

Every now and then I fall apart

And I need you now tonight

And I need you more than ever

And if you only hold me tight

We'll be holding on forever

And we'll only be making it right

'Cause we'll never be wrong

Together we can take it to the end of the line

Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time

All of the time

I don't know what to do

And I'm always in the dark

We're living in a powder keg

And giving off sparks

I really need you tonight

Forever's gonna to start tonight

Forever's gonna to start tonight

Once upon a time I was falling in love

Now I'm only falling apart

There's nothing I can do

A total eclipse of the heart

Once upon a time there was light in my life

But now there's only love in the dark

Nothing I can say

A total eclipse of the heart

Turn around

Bright eyes

Every now and then I fall apart

Turn around

Bright eyes

Every now and then I fall apart

And I need you now tonight

And I need you more than ever

And if you'll only hold me tight

We'll be holding on forever

And we'll only be making it right

'Cause we'll never be wrong

Together we can take it to the end of the line

Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time

All of the time

I don't know what to do

I'm always in the dark

We're living in a powder keg

And giving off sparks

I really need you tonight

Forever's gonna start tonight

Forever's gonna start tonight

Once upon a time I was falling in love

Now I'm only falling apart

There's nothing I can do

A total eclipse of the heart

Once upon a time there was light in my life

But now there's only love in the dark

Nothing I can say

A total eclipse of the heart

A total eclipse of the heart

Two Steps Behind

Def Leppard

Walk away

If you want to

It's okay

If you need to

Well you can run

But you can never hide

From the shadow

That's creepin' up beside you

There's a magic runnin' through your soul

But you can't have it all

Whatever you do

I'll be two steps behind you

Wherever you go

And And I'll be there to remind you

That it only takes a minute

Of your precious time

To turn around

I'll be two steps behind

Yeah

Yeah

Take the time

To think about it

Just walk the line

You know you just can't fight it

Take a look around

You see what you can find

Like the fire

That's burnin' up inside me

There's a magic runnin' through your soul

But you can't have it all

No

Whatever you do

I'll be two steps behind you

Wherever you go

And I'll be there to remind you

That it only takes a minute

Of your precious time

To turn around

I'll be two steps behind

Yeah yeah yeah

Oh oh

Oh oh oh

There's a magic runnin' through your soul

But you

You can't have it all

Whatever you do

I'll be two steps behind you

Wherever you go

And I'll be there to remind you

That it only takes a minute

Of your precious time

To turn around

I'll be two steps behind

Yeah baby

Two steps behind

Oh sugar

Two steps behind

Sympathy for Ann

Even though that was an old commercial for a competitor, it is indicative of our beloved [Ann’s] life.  For she is the bakery manager of a large supermarket.

Making matters even worse is that she has a puppy, who doesn’t care about much of anything but her bringing home treats for him.  Alas, it is indeed a very sad life to live.

Blurry

Puddle of Mudd

Everything's so blurry

And everyone's so fake

And everybody's empty

And everything is so messed up

Preoccupied without you

I cannot live at all

My whole world surrounds you

I stumble then I crawl

You could be my someone

You could be my scene

You know that I'll protect you

From all of the obscene

I wonder what you’re doin’

Imagine where you are

There's oceans in between us

But that's not very far

Can you take it all away

Can you take it all away

Well you shoved it in my face

This pain you gave to me

Can you take it all away

Can you take it all away

Well you shoved it my face

Everyone is changing

There's no one left that's real

To make up your own ending

And let me know just how you feel

'Cause I am lost without you

I cannot live at all

My whole world surrounds you

I stumble then I crawl

And you could be my someone

You could be my scene

You know that I will save you

From all of the unclean

I wonder what you’re doin’

I wonder where you are

There's oceans in between us

But that's not very far

Can you take it all away

Can you take it all away

Well you shoved it in my face

This pain you gave to me

Can you take it all away

Can you take it all away

Well you shoved it my face

This pain you gave to me

Oh

Nobody told me what you thought

Nobody told me what to say

Everyone showed you where to turn

Told you when to runaway

Nobody told you where to hide

Nobody told you what to say

Everyone showed you where to turn

Showed you when to runaway

Can you take it all away

Can you take it all away

Well you shoved it in my face

This pain you gave to me

No

This pain you gave to me

Can you take it all away

Can you take it all away

This pain you gave to me

Flood

Jars of Clay

Rain

Rain on my face

It hasn't stopped raining for days

My world is a flood

Slowly I become one with the mud

But if I can't swim after forty days

And my mind is crushed by the thrashing waves

Lift me up so high that I cannot fall

Lift me up

Lift me up

When I'm falling

Lift me up

I'm weak and I'm dying

Lift me up

I need you to hold me

Lift me up

Keep me from drowning again

Downpour on my soul

Splashing in the ocean

I'm losing control

Dark sky all around

I can't feel my feet touching the ground

But if I can't swim after forty days

And my mind is crushed by the thrashing waves

Lift me up so high that I cannot fall

Lift me up

Lift me up

When I'm falling

Lift me up

I'm weak and I'm dying

Lift me up

I need you to hold me

Lift me up

Keep me from drowning again

Calm the storms that drench my eyes

Dry the streams still flowing

Casting down all the waves of sin

And guilt that overthrow me

But if I can't swim after forty days

And my mind is crushed by the thrashing waves

Lift me up so high that I cannot fall

Lift me up

Lift me up

When I'm falling

Lift me up

I'm weak and I'm dying

Lift me up

I need you to hold me

Lift me up

Keep me from drowning again

Lift me up

When I'm falling

Lift me up

I'm weak and I'm dying

Lift me up

I need you to hold me

Lift me up

Keep me from drowning again
