JUST A FEW WORDS RIGHT NOW... Until the other day I had a long story on this homepage all about myself and my journey thru life, so far. I originally joined this site looking for information regarding my upcoming trip to Israel and the middle east. I never joined this site to make tips or tell people where to go or stay; I am not going to place endless pictures of me in all the places I have been in order to show everyone my memories..I am here soley as a lover of world travele and someone who enjoys reading the stories of all those fellow globe trotters,,,Maybe someday sooner or later I will go about putting more photos and stories but until then.... I decided to delete all of that and instead just tell my story thru song lyrics that explain me and my life better than anything I could possibly write myself...After I return from Israel, Jordan and Egypt in February I will re-do this page, again, but until then I hope you enjoy reading these lyrics that have meant the world to me; who knows, these songs may have meaning to you, too and maybe somewhere out there is the one person who understands me as well as I hope I understand myself, too...I have been thru a lot in the last few years. 9/11 was very hard on me. I don't get into what happened to me that day very often but it is a day that has left me scarred both mentally and physically..But I have faith in people, still, despite the evil in the world. I know that there is much beauty and light left in all of us and that, along with traveling the world, is what gets me by...Love...such a small world but it cannot be said enough that that is what the world needs now, more than ever...happy travels to all of you in VT land and thanks for all of your inspiration and all of your stories. Stay safe and remember, it is not where you have been that is most important, it is where you are going and how you treat those around you. I am a native New York City boy now living in the southern U.S., if ever you find yourself in this neck of the woods, drop me a line and let's have a pint and talk about the world...sound good? |
JOY DIVISION...CEREMONY This is why events unnerve me, They find it all, a different story, Notice whom for wheels are turning, Turn again and turn towards this time, All she ask's the strength to hold me, Then again the same old story, World will travel, oh so quickly, Travel first and lean towards this time. Oh, I'll break them down, no mercy shown, Heaven knows, it's got to be this time, Watching her, these things she said, The times she cried, Too frail to wake this time. Oh I'll break them down, no mercy shown Heaven knows, it's got to be this time, Avenues all lined with trees, Picture me and then you start watching, Watching forever, forever, Watching love grow, forever, Letting me know, forever. |
ECHO AND THE BUNNYMEN....THE KILLING MOON Under blue moon i saw you So soon you'll take me Up in your arms Too late to beg you or cancel it Though i know it must be the killing time Unwillingly mine Fate Up against your will Through the thick and thin He will wait until You give yourself to him In starlit nights i saw you So cruelly you kissed me Your lips a magic world Your sky all hung with jewels The killing moon Will come too soon Fate Up against your will Through the thick and thin He will wait until You give yourself to him Under blue moon i saw you So soon you'll take me Up in your arms Too late to beg you or cancel it Though i know it must be the killing time Unwillingly mine Fate Up against your will Through the thick and thin He will wait until You give yourself to him Fate Up against your will Through the thick and thin He will wait until You give yourself to him You give yourself to him La la la la la... Fate Up against your will Through the thick and thin He will wait until You give yourself to him La la la la la... Fate Up against your will Through the thick and thin He will wait until You give yourself to him Fate Up against your will Through the thick and thin He will wait until You give yourself to him La la la la la... |
THE CURE....THE EDGE OF THE DEEP GREEN SEA Every time we do this I fall for her Wave after wave after wave It's all for her I know this can't be wrong i say (and I'll lie to keep her happy) As long as i know that you know That today i belong right here with you... Right here with you... and so we watch the sun come up From the edge of the deep green sea and she listens like her head's on fire like she wants to believe in me so I try put your hands in the sky surrender remember we'll be here forever And we'll never say goodbye... and we'll never say goodbye... I've never been so Colourfully-see-through-head before I've never been so wonderfully-me-you-want-some-mor e
And all i want is to keep it like this
You and me alone
a secret kiss
And don't go home
Don't go away
Don't let this end
please stay
Not just for today
never never never never never let me go she says
Hold me like this for a hundred thousand million days
but suddenly she slows
and looks down at my breaking face
Why do you cry? what did i say?
but it's just rain I smile
Brushing my tears away...
i wish I could just stop
i know another moment will break my heart
too many tears
too many times
Too many years i've cried over you
How much more can we use it up?
Drink it dry?
take this drug?
Looking for something forever gone
But something
We will always want?
why why why are you letting me go? she says
I feel you pulling back
I feel you changing shape...
And just as i'm breaking free
She hangs herself in front of me
Slips her dress like a flag to the floor
And hands in the sky
Surrenders it all...
i wish I could just stop
I know another moment will break my heart
Too many tears
Too many times
too many years I've cried for you
It's always the same
Wake up in the rain
Head in pain
Hung in shame
A different name
Same old game
Love in vain
and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
Away from home again... |

MORRISSEY...ALMA MATTERS So, the choice I have made may seem strange to you But who asked you, anyway? it's my life to wreck my own way You see, to someone somewhere Alma matters in mind body and soul in part and in hole to someone somewhere Alma matters in mind body and soul in part and in hole So, the life I have made may seem wrong to you but I've never been surer it's my life to ruin my own way Because to someone somewhere Alma matters in mind body and soul in part and in hole |

my theme song...courtesy of a-ha I've fixed my dwelling for the night Lights in pairs come passing by where I hide I need some time now on my own Leave my loneliness alone To lick my wounds Night has found me just in time to help me close my eyes one more time Living a boy's adventure tale In so many ways Living a boy's adventure tale For so many days I'm living a boy's adventure tale Can't escape, if I wanted to Living a boy's adventure tale I may be dreaming but I feel awake I've been lost in so many places Seeked love in so many faces A change of weather, the rain pours down My head in hands, pressed to the ground And where am I supposed to go now Living a boy's adventure tale In so many ways Because of you Living a boy's adventure Oh you know it's true Living a boy's adventure tale In so many ways (aah) For so many days I love you. I love you So many ways |
THE COCTEAU TWINS....BLUEBEARD Aliveness Exploration Aliveness Energy Are you the right man for me? Are you safe? are you my friend? Are you the right man for me? Are you safe? are you my friend? Aliveness Exploration Fulfillment Creativity It may be diverting For some part of him Are you the right man for me? Are you safe? are you my friend? Or are you toxic for me? Will you betray my confidence? Naming things is empowering I balance, walk, and coordinate myself, alive Aliveness energy Healthy dependence And healthy independence And healthy assurances This love's a nameless dream And healthy boundaries And how long would you miss me Are you the right man for me? Are you safe? are you my friend? Or are you toxic for me? Will you mistreat me Or betray all my confidence? |
DEPECHE MODE...BUT NOT TONIGHT Oh god, it's raining But i'm not complaining It's filling me up With new life The stars in the sky Bring tears to my eyes They're lighting my way Tonight And i haven't felt so alive In years Just for a day On a day like today I'll get away from this Constant debauchery The wind in my hair Makes me so aware How good it is to live Tonight And i haven't felt so alive In years The moon Is shining in the sky Reminding me Of so many other nights But they're not like tonight Oh god, it's raining And i'm not containing My pleasure at being So wet Here on my own All on my own How good it feels to be alone Tonight And i haven't felt so alive In years The moon Is shining in the sky Reminding me Of so many other nights When my eyes have been so red I've been mistaken for dead But not tonight |
