What a great rendition of one of my all time fav U2 songs. Thanks for sharing this, David…

Not only are Bono and The Edge awesome together, the lyrics are sheer poetry…

I’m not afraid of anything in this world
There’s nothing you can throw at me that I haven’t already heard
I’m just trying to find a decent melody
A song that I can sing in my own company

I never thought you were a fool
But darling, look at you
You gotta stand up straight, carry your own weight
These tears are going nowhere, baby

You’ve got to get yourself together
You’ve got stuck in a moment and now you can’t get out of it
Don’t say that later will be better
Now you’re stuck in a moment
And you can’t get out of it

I will not forsake the colours that you bring
The nights you filled with fireworks
They left you with nothing
I am still enchanted by the light you brought to me
I listen through your ears, and through your eyes I can see

And you are such a fool
To worry like you do
I know it’s tough, and you can never get enough
Of what you don’t really need now my oh my

You’ve got to get yourself together
You’ve got stuck in a moment and you can’t get out of it
Oh, love, look at you now
You got yourself stuck in a moment and you can’t get out of it

I was unconscious, half asleep
The water is warm till you discover how deep
I wasn’t jumping; for me it was a fall
It’s a long way down to nothing at all

You’ve got to get yourself together
You’ve got stuck in a moment and now you can’t get out of it
Don’t say that later will be better
Now you’re stuck in a moment and you can’t get out of it

And if the night runs over
And if the day won’t last
And if our way should falter
Along this stony pass

And if the night runs over
And if the day won’t last
And if your way should falter
Along this stony pass
It’s just a moment
This time will pass

I’m a fan of Michael Hurley’s blog, “We Move Together.” Urge you to check it out. As Michael says, this is “freaking brilliant.” I completely agree. Check out Michael post and U2’s Bono and The Edge performing “Stuck in a Moment.” Fantastic video clip to kick off your Friday.

“…You’ve got to get yourself together
You’ve got stuck in a moment
And now you can’t get out of it
Don’t say that later will be better…”

Song for you far away…

…”Sitting here all alone is bringing it on again, I’m gone again.

Sitting here thinking of you is driving it home again.

This is a song for you far away, far away. This is a song for you far away from me.

Open the door it takes me back, oh it takes me back.

Mention your name and I’m gone again, oh I’m gone again.

This is a song for you far away from me, far away from me.”

Maybe I’m amazed…

This one goes out to my beautiful wife…

“Maybe I’m a man and maybe I’m a lonely man

Who’s in the middle of something

That he doesn’t really understand

Maybe I’m a man and maybe you’re the only woman

Who could ever help me

Baby won’t you help me understand…”

Enjoy the ride…

Visual Inspiration: Enjoy The Ride!

The secret of life is enjoying the passage of time

Any fool can do it

There ain’t nothing to it

Nobody knows how we got to

The top of the hill

But since we’re on our way down

We might as well enjoy the ride

via Secret O’ Life Lyrics – James Taylor.

Kein Drama

Melody Beattie shares this this morning…

Actors in movies or on television often must exaggerate their feelings in order to create drama on the screen. If they are hurt, they cry with a special intensity. If afraid, they scream and cower in a corner or curl up on a sofa. They may grab a person trying to leave and beg for that person to stay. In rage, they may stomp around hollering in a dramatic storm.

We can learn to separate what we’re feeling from what we do. If we’re feeling fear, hurt, anger, or any other emotion, we need to experience the emotion until we become clear. Sometimes beating a pillow helps release our anger. But we don’t have to stomp around and slam doors. That’s letting our emotions control us.

You don’t have to revel in your emotions. And you can separate your behaviors what you do—from what you feel.

Stop being a twentieth-century drama queen. It isn’t necessary, anymore. We are more conscious than that now.

God, help me let go of the unnecessary drama in my life.

So what does ‘Kein Drama’ mean? My friend Michael in Germany is fond of saying that — Kein Drama — it means literally ‘no drama’ but it was his way of saying it’s no big deal…

When I say to myself or my family ‘Kein Drama’ it means something different. It means let’s put an end to this unnecessary emotion. I need to think more about the dramas in which I play a role and sometimes it’s ok to put down the script and say ‘I don’t like this role that you would like me to play’. I don’t have to meet all my wife’s expectations. I don’t have to live up to my in-laws expectations. I don’t have to live up to all of mine, either…

Melody’s post is a good reminder for me to put the drama aside and focus on the things that are really important; God, help me let go of the unnecessary drama in my life…
