Stuck in My Head: "Price Tag" by Jessie J



OK, Coconut man, Moonheads, and me
You ready?

Seems like everybody's got a price
I wonder how they sleep at night
When the sale comes first
And the truth comes second
Just stop for a minute and smile
Why is everybody so serious
Acting so damn mysterious
Got shades on your eyes
And your heels so high
That you can't even have a good time

Everybody look to the left
Everybody look to the right
Can you feel that yeah
We're paying with love tonight
It's not about the money money money
We don't need your money money money
We just wanna make the world dance
Forget about the price tag
Ain't about the uh cha-ching cha-ching
Ain't about the yeah b-bling b-bling
Wanna make the world dance
Forget about the price tag

We need to take it back in time
When music made us all unite
And it wasn't low blows and video hoes
Am I the only the one getting tired
Why is everybody so obsessed
Money can't buy us happiness
Can we all slow down and enjoy right now
Guarantee we'll be feeling alright

Everybody look to the left
Everybody look to the right
Can you feel that yeah
We're paying with love tonight

It's not about the money money money
We don't need your money money money
We just wanna make the world dance
Forget about the price tag
Ain't about the uh cha-ching cha-ching
Ain't about the yeah b-bling b-bling
Wanna make the world dance
Forget about the price tag

Well keep the price tag
And take the cash back
Just give me six strings
And a half stack
And you can, can keep the cars
Leave me the garage
And all I, yes all I need are keys and guitars
And guess what, in thirty seconds I'm leaving to Mars
Yeah we leaping across these undefeatable odds
It's like this man, you can't put a price on the life
We do this for the love so we fight and sacrifice every night
So we ain't gonna stumble and fall never
Waiting to see us in a sign of defeat uh uh
So we gonna keep everyone moving they feet
So bring back the beat and then everyone sing
It's not about the money

It's not about the money money money
We don't need your money money money
We just wanna make the world dance
Forget about the price tag
Ain't about the uh cha-ching cha-ching
Ain't about the yeah b-bling b-bling
Wanna make the world dance
Forget about the price tag

It's not about the money money money
We don't need your money money money
We just wanna make the world dance
Forget about the price tag
Ain't about the uh cha-ching cha-ching
Ain't about the yeah b-bling b-bling
Wanna make the world dance
Forget about the price tag

Forget about the price tag

"Who You'd Be Today" by Kenny Chesney



"Who You'd Be Today"

Sunny days seem to hurt the most.
I wear the pain like a heavy coat.
I feel you everywhere I go.
I see your smile, I see your face,
I hear you laughin' in the rain.
I still can't believe you're gone.

It ain't fair: you died too young,
Like the story that had just begun,
But death tore the pages all away.
God knows how I miss you,
All the hell that I've been through,
Just knowin' no-one could take your place.
An' sometimes I wonder,
Who'd you be today?

Would you see the world? Would you chase your dreams?
Settle down with a family,
I wonder what would you name your babies?
Some days the sky's so blue,
I feel like I can talk to you,
An' I know it might sound crazy.

It ain't fair: you died too young,
Like the story that had just begun,
But death tore the pages all away.
God knows how I miss you,
All the hell that I've been through,
Just knowin' no-one could take your place.
An' sometimes I wonder,
Who you'd be today?

Today, today, today.
Today, today, today.

[Instrumental Break]

Sunny days seem to hurt the most.
I wear the pain like a heavy coat.
The only thing that gives me hope,
Is I know I'll see you again some day.

Some day, some day, some day.

Rest in Peace Miranda Lynn

You can donate to Miranda's fundraiser at www.gofundme.com/bx8u2s.

She passed away like morning dew
Before the sun was high;
So brief her time, she scarcely knew
The meaning of a sigh.

As round the rose its soft perfume,
Sweet love around her floated;
Admired she grew - while mortal doom
Crept on, un-feared, un-noted.

Love was her guardian angel here,
But love to death resigned her;
Though love was kind, why should we fear
But holy death is kinder?

Poem by Hartley Coleridge

Rotten eCard of the Week #46: Death Leaves A Heartache..

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal. 
Love leaves a memory no one can steal. 
Nothing can ever take away a love the heart holds dear.

In Memory (Poem)

In Memory

Those we Love remain with us,
for Love itself lives on.

Cherished memories never fade,
because a loved one is gone.

Those we Love can never be,
more than a thought apart.

For as long as there is a memory,
they will live on in our heart.

Rest in Peace Precious Baby

Today, my family lost a precious baby girl.  
Miranda Lynn was only six months old.  
Please keep her parents, grandparents, family and friends in your prayers.

I REMEMBER YOU
The world may never notice, If a rosebud doesn't bloom:
Or even pause to wonder if the petals fall too soon.

But every life that ever forms, Or ever comes to be
Touches the World in some small way For all eternity.

The little ones we longed for Were swiftly here and gone.
But the love that was then planted Is a light that still shines on.

And though our arms are empty, Our hearts know what to do
Every beating of my heart says "I Remember You"
