THERE IS A SHIP

 A previous post about The Water is Wide made me look back to the "old days" when many of us were listening to Peter, Paul and Mary.  Here is Mary Travers singing the same tune, but under the title There is a Ship.

SHALLOW - FROM A STAR IS BORN

 Saw the original way back when, and saw the remake on the tube - like this song.

Tell me somethin', girl
Are you happy in this modern world?
Or do you need more?
Is there somethin' else you're searchin' for?

 

I'm falling
In all the good times I find myself
Longin' for change
And in the bad times I fear myself

Tell me something, boy

 
Aren't you tired tryin' to fill that void?
Or do you need more?
Ain't it hard keeping it so hardcore?

I'm falling

 
In all the good times I find myself
Longing for a change
And in the bad times I fear myself

I'm off the deep end, watch as I dive in

 
I'll never meet the ground
Crash through the surface, where they can't hurt us
We're far from the shallow now

In the shallow, shallow
In the shallow, shallow
In the shallow, shallow

 
We're far from the shallow now

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoah

 

I'm off the deep end, watch as I dive in
I'll never meet the ground
Crash through the surface, where they can't hurt us
We're far from the shallow now

In the shallow, shallow
In the shallow, shallow
In the shallow, shallow
We're far from the shallow now

THE DISTANCE - LAURENCE FOX

I had never heard of the fellow, but this video was brought to my attention by Cuz Essenman - interesting lyrics.

They have put something in the water. They seek a cure for the conversation. They stole a march on your indecision. And the first to fall was laughter just to quell the unoffended they seek to murder your opinion.
And the light has been turned down on the age of reason
replaced by blinding fires that burn wild across the region
But the wrong to rule the good must just stand idly by
So I need you more than ever
I need your hand in this resistance
If we´re going to go the distance
And if I ever doubted I think about my future and if I want to live there.
And the world outside is wondrous wide for a reason if I can´t decide you must blow your own mind for that reason
For the wrong to rule the good must just stand idly by and that´s no lie.
Can´t be hard to know what you´re feeling what with all the lies that you´re reading if it´s hard to say you may mean it. Don´t be lost! Thinking about tomorrow when today is what you are living. Make today a new beginning.
And the light has been turned down on the age of reason. Replaced by blinding fires that burn wild across the region. For the wrong to rule the good must just stand idly by.
So I need you more than ever. I need your hand in this resistance if we´re going to go the distance. And if I ever doubted I think about my future and if I want to life there.
And the world outside is wonderous wide for a reason. If you can´t deside you must blow your own mind for that reason. For the wrong to rule the good must just stand idly by and that´s no lie.
So I need you more than ever I need your hand in this resistance if we´re going to go the distance and if I ever doubted I think about my future and if I want to life ... there
