“Oh baby just to feel this feeling that everything that you do gives me. It's been too long since somebody whispered Shut up and kiss me…”
Shut Up And Kiss Me: Mary Chapin Carpenter, Stones In The Road

Mary Chapin has as much wit as she has depth in her songs. As much as she makes me think- she makes me laugh… probably part of the reason why I wanted this one was to have fun with it.

I think there are those times and those moments where you just want someone to grab you and kiss the hell out of you… that’s amore!

*** Artist Notes ***
Trying to convey the surprised look…

Lyrics:
Don't mean to get a little forward with you,
don't mean to get ahead of where we are
Don't mean to act a little nervous around you,
I'm just a little nervous about my heart 'cause

It's been awhile since I felt this feeling that everything that you do gives me
It's been so long since somebody whispered
Shut up and kiss me

Didn't expect to be in this position,
didn't expect to have to rise above
My reputation for cynicism,
I've been a jaded lady when it comes to love but

Oh baby just to feel this feeling that everything that you do gives me
It's been too long since somebody whispered
Shut up and kiss me

There's something about the silent type attracting me to you
All business baby none of the hype
That no talker can live up to

Come closer baby I can't hear you,
Just another whisper if you please
Don't worry 'bout the details darlin',
You've got the kind of mind I love to read
Talk is cheap and baby time's expensive,
So why waste another minute more
Life's too short to be so apprehensive,
Love's as much the symptom darlin' as the cure

Oh baby when I feel this feeling,
It's like genuine voodoo hits me
It's been too long since somebody whispered...

Oh baby I can feel this feeling that everything that you do gives me
It's been too long since somebody whispered
Shut up and kiss me
Shut up and kiss me

“This beautiful drowning. This holy water, is in my lungs, And I am overcome…”
Overcome: Live, V

This ballad closes out Live’s fifth studio album. This beautiful arrangement of piano, strings and voice is vividly haunting on its own. I always remember this as it was released as a single on September 11th, 2001. There were a lot of things happening that day in the Universal realm, almost as if to say “Here’s something to help you get by…” If I remember right there was a worship album released that day as well.

This song always brings a flooding well of emotion when I hear it… I love songs where you can hear and FEEL the emotion of the artist. This song quite certainly brings that out.

*** Artist Notes ***
Capturing the feeling of being overcome.

Lyrics:
Even now
The world is bleeding
But feeling just fine
All num in a castle
Where were always free to choose
Never free enough to find
I wish something would break
Cuz were running out of time

And I am overcome, yeah
I am overcome
Holy water in my lungs
I am overcome

These women in the street
Pulling out their hair
My masters in the yard
Giving light to the unaware
This plastic little place
Is just a step amongst the stairs

And I am overcome, yeah
I am overcome, baby
Holy water in my lungs, yeah
I am overcome

So drive me out, yeah
Out to that open field
Turn the ignition off
And spin around
Your help is here
But Im parked in this open space
But locking the gates of love

I am overcome
I am overcome, baby
Holy water in my lungs, yeah
I am overcome, yeah
I am overcome, oh lord
I am overcome, baby
Holy water in my lungs
Holy water, holy water
I am overcome

Beautiful drowning
This beautiful drowning
This holy water
This holy water, is in my lungs
And I am overcome
I am overcome, yeah
Heh, i, heh, i, heh, I am overcome
I am overcome lord

Artist: RAFFI
Title: SINGABLE SONGS COLLECTION
Street Release Date: 08/10/1998
Domestic
Genre: CHILDREN'S

In 1976 a young Toronto musician released a fun and lively record called Singable Songs for the Very Young. The artist was a fellow called Raffi, and in the liner notes he wrote at the time that "there are very few good children's records." True as that was in the '70s, Singable Songs became the No. 1 bestseller in its field and set the standard for today's greater volume of high-quality material. The Singable Songs Collection reissues the classic Singable Songs for the Very Young and its superlative successors, More Singable Songs and Corner Grocery Store, as a set. Raffi's exhilarating acoustic musicality and sense of humor shine brightly through. Single-digit-age kids and their parents will get a kick out of these silly, educational, and joyful songs, which range in subject matter and tone from shared peanut-butter sandwiches and instrumental ragtime to standards like "Goodnight, Irene." --Paige La Grone
