Tonight underneath the stars spinning round and round...

8 words. The Cure. NEW. Always a favorite. There's nothing like working with your favorite music and listening to it while you work. Do you like The CURE? Enjoy. kisses, m.

the cure. song of the day: why can't I be you? album: kiss me kiss me kiss me

Tonight underneath the stars spinning round & round

You remind me of a girl I think

She used to just stand there and stare

On that dizzy edge. I kissed her face 

And kissed her head and dreamed of all

My promises. I thought you were the girl

Tonight underneath the stars, spinning round and round

For the last time, then slipped away quietly.

I'm wondering where she's been and I'm crying

Dancing screaming itching squealing fevered feeling hot hot...

I'm smitten I'm bitten I'm hooked I'm cooked!

However much I'm falling down it's never enough. 

Whichever I chose it amounts to the same

End. But this isn't truth this isn't right.

Please tell me this is not for real...

The shadows breathe whispering me away from you.

This wonder always leaves. When the time comes

Then give it to the wonderful, wonderful me.

I know I was wrong when I said 

It's not hard to hide in a moment. 

I never thought that tonight could ever be 

Flowing in and filling up my hopeless heart.

If only I'd thought of the right words. 

I would say I’m sorry if I thought

You’d know that I'd do anything. For you

Make me feel like I am free again.

To learn the new smile you'll have to

Slide into deep black water and breathe and 

Sing me a line from your favorite song.

It's such a gorgeous sight to see you

In the water and your dry lips sing

And smile with the shake of your head.

It's a big bright beautiful world out there.

The same sun spinning in the same sky.

So let's cut the conversation and get out
Softly through the shadow of the evening sun

One last time before it's time to go.

As a strange attraction spreads it's wings the

Happy ever after girl finds the perfect boy.

“Music speaks what cannot be expressed, soothes the mind and gives it rest, heals the heart and makes it whole, flows from heaven to the soul.”


this is a piece from 8 words. a series created in tribute to great singers whose words and style possessed lyrics and songs I  wanted to hear but had never been created. I think this is idea appears in all art. all forms, all genres, etc. people want to see things from their own perspective and share it. and as of late it is amazing to see how everyone has taken each other's styles and built their own "something" from it. look at the gifts you have created for one another... they are masterpieces and this is all brilliantly connected. absolutely adore. enjoy. kisses. m.

There are places to come from and go.

(6-12-2011)

Elusive dreams, vague desires fanned to fiery needs.

We burned brightly clinging like fire to fuel.

We once loved together and floodlit that time.

That was a dream we had some time

                                                                                                                             

When you felt my fire it was precious.

Watching your hair and the clouds and stars.

Feel so wild you could break somebody's heart.

Dreams like that are very hard to share.

Sometimes I blink 'cause I think I see

You. And can't help how you feel tonight.

Night after night lie awake and dream of

The wild things running fast in the dark.

Moon in the mirror, a reflection of kisses.

Birds in spring only lovers hear them sing

Dreaming of the pleasure they’re going to have.

Love is not a game played with inconsistency.
Cause once comes love nothing can be done.

Feeling too foolish and strange to say words

Everyday. Your love puts on a new face

When say you don't know what you’re doing.

Now believe that love is here to stay.

I don't like quiet I wish I were

Changing as the days come down to you.

Sometimes change comes at you with only chaos.

I miss your touch and lips so much

Giving me such pleasure. Bringing me such pain.

I miss the kisses, I miss the bites.

I can feel your fingers feeling my face.

Don’t know what you've got till it's gone

I've looked at love from both sides now.

You’ve gotta give up a piece of soul
for the truth. Let the fight go out.

Whisper out of time before it then comes.

You say that we can start anew. You’re

Searching my soul because this must be fate.

There'll be new dreams, better dreams and plenty.

There are places to come from and go.

Till you get there you never really know.

8words- Joni Mitchell

Reminiscing the Poetry of 8 Words: There'll come a time, don't you forget it

There'll come a time, don't you forget it

All day before my eyes come little visions.

There’s a beautiful land where dreams come true.

And this old world is a new world.

Aren’t many things one can be sure of…

In one moment you’ll know what it is

There'll come a time, don't you forget it.

You might find the night-time the right time

You walk without a sound down forgotten streets

And you see it comin' down the street

In it’s hanging on, and with fingers clutching

Baby, telling you, you've been gone too long.

I've got to follow where it leads me

Here tonight as I stand inside the rain

I'm glad I'm mad and can't live without

Me wanting a little sweetness in my soul

I want to touch your face, your hands

I’ve always loved the simple things about you

Oh touch me now and let me know

If you like it let me know it.

In the dark I get such a thrill

When I kiss you every night and day.

You are my nights; my night and day.

I declare you gonna drive me stone insane

Quiet baby, don’t explain there’s nothing to gain.

Don't talk just hold me closer to you.

I need your affection and not your protection

Keep looking in my eyes we'll be fine

I know it will be so it's time

Lie away resting away deep in my arms

From memory these arms still hold a thrill.

A thrill that should have been gone by

Like that dance before the flame that burns. 

Oh please forget the dreams that were broken

The future that someone says may never be

Tomorrow might not come, when dreamers dream late

But still I hope the time will come.

And when you have some time to spend

Come on back see me when you can.

8 words. Nina Simone. A friend introduced me to lovely music of Nina Simone almost 15 years ago. Since then her music has always been a staple in my collection. One that I've gone too long without recently. It seems fitting that when the pieces of this puzzle came together they formed a metaphor for love. Its a feeling that makes the old world a new world. And it feels as though it's been away too long. The dreams once broken become the past for the lovers when they welcome new love into their life. Needless to say it wasn't written for anyone or about anyone. Something I should have made clear sooner... I could say more, yet I will not. enjoy the loving, living and breathing with the people in your life. kisses. m.

If life's a game, true love's a trophy.

If life’s a game, true love’s a trophy.

Woke up this morning and it wasn’t heaven.

Won't have a soul to wake up while

I wonder if there's hearts that will deliver.

Speaking in metaphors for something in your heart

I’m waiting for the present dream to last.

Why can't I sleep with my eyes open?

There's no reason my mind should be still.

Is every kind of love an imaginary love?

Why does it always have to be chaos?

Quiet. I don't want to know the answers.

Got a dream and that's all I need.

You gave me your love in one day

And with your heart you will never lose.

Tell me, if will you settle for love.

Saw what I'm looking for in your eyes

Where beauty is existence. You turn me on

Love, longer than day making my heart sing.

All of my life days turn into nights.

It's only when you're outside that you notice

From where you are, to where I am.

When you were here I missed you. Now 

You just sittin there dreamin' of instant pleasure.

I’ll hold you the way you should be.

Rest and forget yourself in my arms tonight.

And wouldn't it be lovely? Life is Beautiful. 

There'll be rainbows and we will finally know.

What I believe in I know is true

There'll come a time, now don't forget it 

You’ll believe in love, what’s supposed to be.

And my love for you will drive your

Need to go. When I'm leaving for Paris

Please be there. Don't know where I’ll fall.

Won't you walk me through it all, darling?

I don't know what I'm doing, I'm saying

Will I walk away from love knowing nothing?

Do I guess to have no more fears?

If life’s a game, true love’s a trophy.

Keep in the game maintaining mystique facing forward.

One day it's now or never to stay.

One day it's now or never to stay.

Out on a thousand islands in the sea.

What does this ship bring from far across

To an island, and ride the stormy sea?

Save it another day it’s nothing I regret.

I'll do the best keeping my hands in.

So no looking back now, just pushing through.

Everybody makes mistakes even me. Just be free.

Turn again and turn towards life this time.

I can't reason with failure of code. The

Wisdom of a fool won't set you free.

Betrayed by words, never heard, hard to say.

And you think you know what's going on.

Everything to me, the sweetest symphony. All that

Last night I didn't think would ever end.

I'm not the kind that likes to tell

But I feel so extraordinary something's gotten hold.

This feeling inside me can't confront the decay

Sometimes the real living dreams are better than

Those lies which seem to take a lifetime.

Once I looked at stars from underneath trees.

Deep eyes they slept beneath an open sky.

Rise and fall of shame. The search remains

Cause these streets are so empty this time.

Please picture an image of a person who

Was searching for another place in another time,

Always so vain. Life lived like a shadow

Past until completion that turns away no more

In a house full of doors. Only exits.

Get going. This is no place to shiver. 

It's forgotten. It was summer, now it's autumn.

To acquire a taste for a different sound
Travel open spaces, dusty roads to distant places

Maps never show. Then you've nothing to hide 
With a life that'll burn 'til the end.

And life goes on and on in reality.

Ask no questions, I'll tell you no lies.

It’s just like the ocean or the sea.
One day it's now or never to stay.

8 words. New Order. Unoriginal Original. Ceremony is easily one of my favorite tracks. How about you? Ever listen to New Order?

On The 8 words. If you’re looking for hidden meanings directed intently outward. There are none. But it is poetry in the lyrics. The ‘8words’ are truly my adoration of lyrics manipulated into a different form. A few times, with very gifted lyrics, there is truly a deeper metaphor. But that reflects the incomparable talent behind the lyrics. I'll never seek to publish them. It would take from the very thing that these people work so hard to accomplish. enjoy the music. kisses. m.
