MUSIC- GOD IS EVERLASTING: "Temporary" by Eddie Murphy


Hey what ya gonna do? 
After all the lies they told ya 
Damn near everything they told you 
Got to free your mind, open up your eyes 
Yea! 

Ain’t no angels on my shoulders 
It won’t be much and the devil’s just a lie 
And even which you’re calling lover 
When the river comes we will kiss your ass goodbye 
Yes we will 

(Chorus) 
It’s temporary 
Everything is only temporary 
But God (God) 
God is everlasting! 
It’s temporary 
You and me are only temporary 
(Everlasting, yea) 

It’s so much bigger than yourself 
And you ain’t but a tiny tick of time 
And those certificates for prestigious graduations 
On your wall 
When your time is up 
You’ll recognize the time 
That you will 

(Chorus) 
It’s temporary 
You and me are only temporary 
But God (God) 
God is everlasting! 
It’s temporary 
Everything is only temporary 
(Everlasting, yea) 

So all your good connections 
It’s temporary 
And all the bill collectors 
It’s temporary 
Ain’t no angels on my shoulders 
It’s temporary 
It won’t be much and the devil’s just a lie 
It’s temporary 
Said It won’t be much and the devil’s just a lie 
It’s temporary 
It won’t be much and the devil’s just a lie

MUSIC- "Somewhere With You"

I love ALL kinds of music.. A good song is a good song.  Here's a Country Music song that i'm digging right now.. It's called "Somewhere With You" sung by Kenny Chesney, written by JTX (son of radio host, Jay Thomas).. Check it out.. Tell me what you think



"Somewhere With You" Lyrics

If you're going out with someone new
I'm going out with someone too
I won't feel sorry for me, I'm getting drunk
But I'd much rather be somewhere with you

Laughing loud on a carnival ride, yeah
Driving around on a Saturday night
You made fun of me for singing my song
Got a hotel room just to turn you on

You said pick me up at three a.m.
You're fighting with your mom again
And I'd go, I'd go, I'd go somewhere with you

I won't sit outside your house
And wait for the lights to go out
Call up an ex to rescue me, climb in their bed
When I'd much rather sleep somewhere with you

Like we did on the beach last summer
When the rain came down and we took cover
Down in your car, out by the pier
You laid me down, whispered in my ear

I hate my life, hold on to me
Ah, if you ever decide to leave
Then I'll go, I'll go, I'll go

I can go out every night of the week
Can go home with anybody I meet
But it's just a temporary high 'cause when I close my eyes
I'm somewhere with you, somewhere with you

If you see me out on the town
And it looks like I'm burning it down
You won't ask and I won't say
But in my heart I'm always somewhere with you

Laughing loud on a carnival ride, yeah
Driving around on a Saturday night
You made fun of me for singing my song
Got a hotel room just to turn you on

You said pick me up at three a.m.
You're fighting with your mom again
And I'd go, I'd go, I'd go

I can go out every night of the week
Can go home with anybody I meet
But it's just a temporary high 'cause when I close my eyes
I'm somewhere with you, somewhere with you

Somewhere with you
I'm somewhere with you
I'm somewhere with you
Somewhere with you
Somewhere with you

HEAVEN, HOME & ANGELS


I love music... I love, love, love, music.. ALL kinds, any time. There is a song for every emotion and situation. Are you like me?




Something I noticed about myself is.. I like just about ANY song that has the words "Heaven" or "Home" or "Angel" in the title. To me, songs with one of these words in the title or chorus are
guaranteed to speak to me in a deep way. It something I noticed for a long time and recently decided that I will make 3 CDs, each dedicated to songs about each topic. (its a good idea, you should try it)











I asked the masterminds at "NubianNewYorkers" (The Yahoo Group). The 24,000 plus members have vast knowledge on all sorts of things. 


So to collect the songs I need for the
CDs, I asked for some titles by writing to NubianNewYorkers@YahooGroups.com
And just like always, the brilliant members stepped up. Here's the list they've given me so far....
(hope these titles, provided by these "Angels" will help to create some "Heaven" in your "Home"
like they did for me...)
