ATF: High Notes

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.

Unchained Melody

The Righteous Brothers

Whoa

My love

My darling

I've hungered for

Your touch

A long

Lonely time

And time

Goes by

So slowly

And time

Can do so much

Are you

Still mine

I need your love

I need your love.

God speed

Your love

To me

Lonely rivers flow

To the sea

To the sea,

To the open arms

Of the sea

Lonely rivers sigh

Wait for me

Wait for me

I'll be coming home

Wait for me

Whoa

My love

My darling

I've hungered

Hungered

For your touch

A long

Lonely time

And time

Goes by

So slowly

And time can do

So much

Are you

Still mine

I need your love

I

I need your love

God speed

Your love

To me

Heartbreaker

Pat Benatar

Your love is like a tidal wave

Spinning over my head

Drownin' me in your promises

Better left unsaid

You're the right kind of sinner

To release my inner fantasy

The invincible winner

And you know that you were born to be

You're a

Heartbreaker

Dream maker

Love taker

Don't you mess around with me

You're a

Heartbreaker

Dream maker

Love taker

Don't you mess around

No no no

Your love has set my soul on fire

Burnin' out of control

You taught me the ways of desire

Now its takin' its toll

You're the right kind of sinner

To release my inner fantasy

The invincible winner

And you know that you were born to be

You're a

Heartbreaker

Dream maker

Love taker

Don't you mess around with me

You're a

Heartbreaker

Don't you mess around

No no no

You're the right kind of sinner

To release my inner fantasy

The invincible winner

And you know that you were born to be

You're a

Love taker

Don't you mess around with me

You're a

We Belong

Pat Benatar

We belong

We belong to the light

Many times I’ve tried to tell you

Many times I’ve cried alone

Always I’m surprised how well you

Cut my feelings to the bone

Don’t wanna leave you really

I’ve invested too much time

To give you up that easy

To the doubts that complicate your mind

We belong to the light

We belong to the thunder

We belong to the sound of the words

We’ve both fallen under

Whatever we deny or embrace

For worse or for better

We belong

We belong

We belong together

Maybe it’s a sign of weakness

When I don’t know what to say

Maybe I just wouldn’t know

What to do with my strength anyway

Have we become a habit

Do we distort the facts

Now there’s no looking forward

Now there’s no turning back

When you say

We belong to the light

We belong to the thunder

We belong to the sound of the words

We’ve both fallen under

Whatever we deny or embrace

For worse or for better

We belong

We belong

We belong together

Close your eyes and try to sleep now

Close your eyes and try to dream

Clear your mind and do your best

To try and wash the palette clean

We can’t begin to know it

How much we really care

I hear your voice inside me

I see your face everywhere

Still you say

We belong to the light

We belong to the thunder

We belong to the sound of the words

We’ve both fallen under

Whatever we deny or embrace

For worse or for better

We belong

We belong

We belong together

We belong to the light

We belong to the thunder

We belong to the sound of the words

We’ve both fallen under

Whatever we deny or embrace

For worse or for better

We belong

We belong

We belong together

We belong to the light

We belong to the thunder

Since You’ve Been Gone

Head East

I get the same old dream

Same time every night

Fall to the ground

And I wake up

So I get out of bed

Put on my shoes

And in my head

Thoughts fly back to the breakup

And these four walls are closin’ in

Look at the fix you put me in

Since you’ve been gone

Since you’ve been gone

I'm outta my head

Can't take it

Could I be wrong

But since you’ve been gone

You cast the spell

So break it

Do it do do

Do it do do

Do it do do

Can't take it

And in the night I stand

Beneath the backstreet lights

I read the words

That you sent to me

I can take the afternoon

But night time

Comes around too soon

You can't know

What you mean to me

Your poison letter

Your telegram

They go to show

You don’t give a damn

Since you’ve been gone

Since you’ve been gone

I'm outta my head

Can't take it

Could I be wrong

But since you’ve been gone

You cast the spell

So break it

Do it do do

Do it do do

Do it do do

Can't take it

Ah ah

Ah ah

Ah ah

Ah ah

Ah ah…

If you will come back

Baby I'm here

Whenever you want

Do it

Since you’ve been gone

Since you’ve been gone

I'm outta my head

Can't take it

Could I be wrong

But since you’ve been gone

You cast the spell

So break it

Do it do do

Do it do do

Do it do do

Do it do do

Ever since

You’ve been gone

Since you’ve been gone

Since you’ve been gone

Do it do do

Do it do do

Ever since

You’ve been gone

TWO FOR TUESDAY {REDO}

Link: [Pat Benatar]

Not every song that will be featured here will be what is generally considered as being “Christian” in the eyes of this world. For some will be anguished cries from the pit of despair, and others will be quite obviously ferverent rants of rebellion. Nonetheless, be assured that they will all be of our Heavenly Father (in one way or another) and I hope that you have been given ears to hear the message.

Hell Is For Children
Pat Benatar
They cry in the dark
So you can’t see their tears
They hide in the light
So you can’t see their fears
Forgive and forget
All the while
Love and Pain
Become one and the same
In the eyes of a wounded child

Because hell
Hell is for children
And you know that their little lives
Can become such a mess
Hell
Hell is for children
And you shouldn’t have to pay for your love
With your bones and your flesh

It’s all so confusing
This brutal abusing
They blacken your eyes
And then apologize
You’re daddy’s good girl
And don’t tell mommy a thing
Be a good little boy
And you’ll get a new toy
Tell grandma you fell off the swing

Because hell
Hell is for children
And you know that their little lives
Can become such a mess
Hell
Hell is for children
And you shouldn’t have to pay for your love
With your bones and your flesh

No
Hell is for children

Hell
Hell is for hell
Hell is for hell
Hell is for children

Hell
Hell is for hell
Hell is for hell
Hell is for children

Hell
Hell is for hell
Hell is for hell
Hell is for children

Hell is for children

Hell is for children
