The Heart & The Soul

Sometimes you come across a text or even just a snippet of a text that etches itself into your heart & soul. Here I will try to gather some that mean something to me. Poems, quotes, and many song lyrics... And yes, I think Nick Hornby was right in "High Fidelity". Enjoy them, cherish them, nourish them...!

3 Doors Down - Here Without You

"A hundred days had made me older
since the last time that I've saw your pretty face

A thousand lights had made me colder and I don’t think I can look at this the same

But all the miles had separate
They disappear now when I’m dreaming of your face

I’m here without you baby
But your still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And I dream about you all the time
I’m here without you baby
but your still with me in my dreams
And tonight it’s only you and me

The miles just keep rollin
As the people either way to say hello
I've heard this life is overrated
But I hope that it gets better as we go

I’m here without you baby
But your still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And I dream about you all the time
I’m here without you baby
But your still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl it’s only you and me

Everything I know,
And anywhere I go
It gets hard but it won’t take away my love
And when the last one falls,
When it’s all said and done
It gets hard but it won’t take away my love

I’m here without you baby
but your still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And I dream about you all the time
I’m here without you baby
But your still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl it’s only you and me"

Billie Holiday - I'll Be Seeing You

"I'll be seeing you
In all the old familiar places
That this heart of mine embraces
All day and through
In that small cafe
The park across the way
The children's carrousel
The chestnut trees
The wishing well

I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day
In everything that's light and gay
I'll always think of you that way

I'll find in the morning sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you

I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day
In everything that's light and gay
I'll always think of you that way

I'll find in the morning sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you"

Rosario Flores - Como Quieres Que Te Quiera

"Como quieres que te quiera
Como quieres si no estas aqui
Como quieres que te quiera
Sino te das a mi

Subire montañas
Y al rio llorare
Y mi corazon me grita
Me aprisiona sin querer

Como quieres que te quiera
Sino te tengo aqui
Como quieres que te quiera
Tan lejos ya de mi

Como quieres que te quiera
Sino te das a mi
Como quieres que te quiera
Si se que te perdi

Sostiene que el viento
Me lleva a donde estes
Y mi corazon me grita
Me apriciona sin querer

Yo vivire
Cantando alas estrellas
Por el dia aquel...

Yo, yo soñare
Que la vida me entrega
Lo que tuve ayer

Y mi corazon me grita
Me apriciona sin querer
Yo viviere
Cantando a las estrellas
Por el dia aquel

Yo soñare
Que la vida me entrega
Lo que tuve ayer"

Frank Sinatra - I've Got You Under My Skin

"I´ve got you under my skin.
I´ve got you deep in the heart of me.
So deep in my heart that you´re really a part of me.
I´ve got you under my skin.
I tried so not to give in.I said to myself:
"This affair never will go so well."
But why should I try to resist when, baby, I know so well,
I´ve got you under my skin.
I´d sacrfice anything, come what might, for the sake of having you near.
In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night and repeats, repeats in my ear:
Don´t you know, little fool, you never can win.
Use your mentality, wake up to reality."
But each time that I do, just the thought of you makes me stop before I begin,
cause I´ve got you under my skin.
I would sacrifice anything, come what might, for the sake of having you near.
In spite of a warning voice that comes in the nightand repeats, how it yells in my ear:
Don´t you know, little fool, you never can win.
Why not use your mentality, step up, wake up to reality.
But each time I do, jus tthe thought of you
makes me stop just before I begin,
Cause I´ve got you under my skin. Yes, I´ve got you under my skin."

Smashing Pumpkins - Disarm

"Disarm you with a smile
And cut you like you want me to
Cut that little child
Inside of me and such a part of you
Ooh, the years burn

I used to be a little boy
So old in my shoes
And what I choose is my choice
What’s a boy supposed to do?
The killer in me is the killer in you
My love
I send this smile over to you

Disarm you with a smile
And leave you like they left me here
To wither in denial
The bitterness of one who’s left alone
Ooh, the years burn
Ooh, the years burn, burn, burn

I used to be a little boy
So old in my shoes
And what I choose is my voice
What’s a boy supposed to do?
The killer in me is the killer in you
My love
I send this smile over to you

The killer in me is the killer in you
Send this smile over to you
The killer in me is the killer in you
Send this smile over to you
The killer in me is the killer in you
Send this smile over to you"

Pearl Jam - Present Tense

"Do you see the way that tree bends?
Does it inspire?
Leaning out to catch the sun's rays
A lesson to be applied
Are you getting something out of this all encompassing trip?
You can spend your time alone, redigesting past regrets, oh
Or you can come to terms and realize
You're the only one who can't forgive yourself, oh
Makes much more sense to live in the present tense
Have you ideas on how this life ends?
Checked your hands and studied the lines
Have you the belief that the road ahead ascends off into the light?
Seems that needlessly it's getting harder
To find an approach and a way to live
Are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?
You can spend your time alone redigesting past regrets, oh
Or you can come to terms and realize
You're the only one who cannot forgive yourself, oh
Makes much more sense to live in the present tense"
