record on repeat

I have a song that's been playing in my head for about 2 days straight...although it is a beautiful song...and the set of lyrics dancing in my mind are amazing...I'm hoping that writing them down here will "release" them and the death-grip they have on my short term memory right now...

You helped the start of me
Your breath is every part of me
The blessings of catching your heaven
This is my eternity

you see I can make the heavens cry
and I can make the oceans sigh
but it doesnt matter if you are not by my side
your the only reason that I try
when I look at you I see the dawn of a brand new day in your eyes...
-fertile ground- "you take me higher"

this whole thing plays with a breakbeat style R&B jazz sound...think old erika badu....
well hopefully that does it...we'll see...
Man I wish I knew how to "attach" an mp3 sample to a website...cuz i'd love to put a sample of it you all could download here....(any help on this one appreciated)

Beautiful lyrics! I notice lyrics of songs all the time. That's usually what gets my attention before the beat. LOL

Have you considered listening to the Copacabana...that'll get rid of the first song. The fun thing about the Copa, is that you can sing it around your friends and co-workers and it'll get stuck in their heads. have an escort to your car at the end of the day though.

This song reminds me of a coffeehouse in Philly where they used to play a lot of records like this.

Ooooo I like that!

McBlogger - I LOVE that trick! What I like to do is just whistle the tune and see if someone ends up singing it.

I use www.bolt.com to upload an share music. I know I've never done it on this blog, but I did it on my old blog. Anyway...there you go.

The lyrics were nice.

I was listening to some Erika Badu yesterday and thinking about how much I miss her.

Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl
with yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there
she would merengue and do the cha-cha
and while she tried to be a star
Tony always tended bar
across the crowded floor, they worked from 8 til 4
they were young and they had each other
who could ask for more?

I mean really, who could?

Does anybody actually know the lyrics to this song? I've known it for years and I swear I can never catch all of what she's saying.
