iPod Hell...

i had lived there for too long ~ almost 24 hours ~ Gotta tell you now that I've got it all figured out yup Gage is right it is the greatest thing EVER.

So I'm going to the woods... seriously for too long on Monday, but NOW I can bring 1000 of my most important songs with me and I'll be ok ~ I even have this little transmitter that allows me to play it over a normal radio. Bought it for the car specifically... however it works in my house on my receiver... and it's brilliant... very happy with this whole deal

So I have almost 300 songs on it so far and today for other reasons has just been one of constant angst on not nearly enough sleep. I get back from an errand and *sigh* The Pretenders and a song perfect for what I need to say to that one that I love and am hurting for today. I don't know what to say to help, I can't physically be there for a shoulder or a hug or to hold a hand ~ but I offer all those things and they are there always, forever as promised... your promise of forever is the only one I do believe in for some reason and I know that makes you happy me stating that outloud so to speak.

It got particularly ugly this afternoon and it makes me wonder why people have to just be mean. It's not blatant and most may not even notice, but if all is truly well enough I believe it should in fact be left alone. I don't have it in me at all to be mean not even to those that have hurt me the most. I find myself always trying and making excuses for their bad behavior. Because I want to believe in the good and the potential for good in everyone...

Here you go.... my promise back to you ~ I'll Stand By You

Oh, why you look so sad?
Tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now
Don’t be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through
’cause I’ve seen the dark side too
When the night falls on you
You don’t know what to do
Nothing you confess
Could make me love you less

I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
Won’t let nobody hurt you
I’ll stand by you

So if you’re mad, get mad
Don’t hold it all inside
Come on and talk to me now
Hey, what you got to hide?
I get angry too
Well I’m a lot like you
When you’re standing at the crossroads
And don’t know which path to choose
Let me come along
’cause even if you’re wrong

I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
Won’t let nobody hurt you
I’ll stand by you
Take me in, into your darkest hour
And I’ll never desert you
I’ll stand by you

And when...
When the night falls on you, baby
You’re feeling all alone
You won’t be on your own

I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
Won’t let nobody hurt you

I’ll stand by you
Take me in, into your darkest hour
And I’ll never desert you
I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
Won’t let nobody hurt you
I’ll stand by you
Won’t let nobody hurt you
I’ll stand by you
