beautiful songs . . .

I'm always thinking about songs and some of them just speak to me from time to time . . . . nothing compares 2 u . . . . thank you prince, you rock – you know I love you.

Nothing Compares 2 U by Prince

It's been seven hours and fifteen days
since you took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
since you took your love away
Since you been gone I can do what-ever I want
I can see whomever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
but nothing, I said nothing can take away these blues
'cos nothing compares
nothing compares 2 U.
It's been so lonely without U here
like a bird without a song
nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
tell me baby where did I go wrong?
I could put my arms around every boy I see
but they only remind me of U.
I went to the doctor and guess what he told me guess what he told me
he said: "girl U better try to have fun no matter what U do"
but he's a fool
'cos nothing compares
nothing compares 2U.
All the flowers that U planted mama
in the back yard
all died when U went away
I know that living with U baby was sometimes hard
but I'm willing 2 give U another try
'cos nothing compares
nothing compares 2U.

Creep . . . . the sheer magnetic presence of radiohead is just hard to describe . . . . they use such simple, carefully chosen words that somehow end up becoming deep, wrenching shit with hardly any effort it seems . . . . moving us all forward . . . .

Creep by Radiohead

When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eyes
You look like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You're so fucking special
But I'm a creep
I'm a wierdo
What the hell am I doin' here
I don't belong here
I don't care if it hurts
I wanna have control
I wanna perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When I'm not around
You're so fuckin' special
I wish I was special....
Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so fucking special
Wish I was special...
