There’s wind that blows in from the north.
And it says that loving takes this course.
Come here. Come here.
No I’m not impossible to touch I have never wanted you so much.
Come here. Come here.
Have I never laid down by your side.
Baby, let’s forget about this pride.
Come here. Come here.
Well I’m in no hurry. Don’t have to run away this time.
I know that you’re timid.
But it’s gonna be all right this time

I’m a man on fire/ Walking through your street/ With one guitar/ And two dancing feet/ Only one desire/ That’s left in me/ I want the whole damn world/ To come dance with me
(ohhhhhhhh. Come dance with me)
I’m a hunter at bay/ Come and set you free/ Over heartache and shame
I wanna see our bodies burning like the old big sun/ I wanna know what we’ve been learning and learning from
Everybody want safety (safety love)/ Everybody want comfort (comfort love)/ Everybody want certain (certain love)/ Everybody but me
I’m a man on fire/ Walking down your street/ With one guitar/ And two dancing feet/ Only one desire/ That’s left in me/ I want the whole damn world/ To come and dance with me
(bah bah bah bah bah…)
Yay, yay. Come dance with me/ Over heartache and rage/ Come set us free/ Over panic and strange
I wanna see our bodies burning like the old big sun/ I wanna know what we’ve been learning and learning from
Everybody want romance (romance love)/ Everybody want safety (safety love)/ Everybody want comfort (comfort love)/ Everybody but me
I’m a man on fire (he’s a man on fire)/ Walking down your street (walking down your street)/ With one guitar (With one guitar)/ And two dancing feet (two dancing feet)/ Only one desire (one desire)/ That’s still in me (that’s left in me)/ I want the whole damn world (I want the whole damn world)/ To come and dance with me (come and dance with me yeahhhhh…)
Anyone who has gone through a break-up/divorce will relate to this hauntingly beautiful song.
Some more music.

Cute music video via The Doll Incident. Birds are exceptionally intelligent animals by the way. I say this because we often place value on animals based on their intelligence, when it shouldn’t matter at all. They’re alive, so let them live.
I love Lana. This is from the Great Gatsby soundtrack.
Something on Alisha’s blog reminded me of this music video with Jake Gyllenhaal playing tennis. Funny.
I am sad to hear that Rita MacNeil has passed away from complications following surgery. She was 68. A victim of childhood sexual abuse, she didn’t become famous until she was in her 40s. Despite crippling shyness her inherent talent propelled her to Canadian stardom.
Her music spoke of the courage required to rise above life’s challenges, especially those of the working class. To know of Rita, was to love her. I spent each summer in Cape Breton and went to Rita’s tea house and gazed at all her Juno awards. My mother is from Cape Breton, so that’s the connection.
Rita had a deep affection for the coal miners of Nova Scotia, and the song above was one of her most popular.
RIP.
One of the best songs ever written by Sarah Harmer.
I can’t believe I have never posted this cover of Tori’s Putting the Damage On. Well better late than never!
Hello I'm Franco. I write about anything that interests me, which includes travel, my dog, my cat, television, radio, movies, music, you name it, I'm into it. I'm an annoyingly proud Canadian who loves to drink too much beer and stare inappropriately and uncomfortably at strangers. Don't get me started on anything political, because I get even more obnoxious.
